ICA Aneurysm

Posted by brissa2 @brissa2, 1 day ago

I just had my cerebral angiogram yesterday. This was my doctor's notes. Multiple runs in multiple views including high magnification views showed a 7.1 x 4.5 mm aneurysm of the right posterior communicating artery with a daughter sac. 3D reconstruction was performed at a separate workstation.

Selectively, the right external carotid artery was catheterized. The wire was removed. System was flushed. Flow was checked. Multiple runs in multiple views including high magnification views showed no aneurysm, AVM, AVF or other vascular abnormalities, mean transient time was normal.

He told me i could try stenting or clipping. he gave me pros and cons of each. Bottom line i have a 7mm size aneurysm with a daughter sac and at a PComA location. Any advice from others. i am so confused and scared. Im waiting to see if I can get a second opinion from a doctor at Mayo

I am praying for you. I have a narrowing that cannot be fix so I have to live with the pain.
I pray this gives you relief and peace knowing that God is with you in this situation, my friend.
