Since there had been several cases of ruptured aneurysms in my family and my brother had a ruptured brain aneurysm (they actually found he had three, one ruptured) I got checked and they found I also had a small aneurysm. Mine had vascular access so a repair would be simple (or relatively simple), two separate neurosurgeons recommended I had it repaired. They repaired it in 2017 with a stent, after that they monitored the evolution with angiograms and MRIs, in 2020 I had to get a second stent as the first one had proven not sufficient. Both surgeries were embolizations, similar to the angiograms, using catheter through the groin. Recovery is fast as it is minimally invasive. I still get checked every 2 years and it seems to have worked now.

Thank you for sharing. We are hoping to get a second opinion as well.

@houston13 just curious as to how you realized that the first stent wasn’t working? My sister is having headaches, brain confusion and she had the stent installed in August for the two anneurisms on the right. We are still close monitoring the small aneurysm on the left. I am so glad you are doing well now!
