Who is at Risk of Aneurysms?
Aneurysms are more common as you age, especially after 40. Women are also slightly more likely to develop certain types of aneurysms.
If someone in your family has had an aneurysm, you may have a higher risk.
Hypertension can weaken blood vessel walls over time, increasing the likelihood of an aneurysm forming.
Smoking damages blood vessels, making them more prone to developing aneurysms.
Certain conditions like arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) or genetic disorders can also increase your risk.
Head injuries or trauma to the blood vessels can sometimes lead to the formation of aneurysms.
Expert Approaches to Aneurysm Treatment
Each patient’s journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation using advanced imaging technologies like MRI, CT scans, and angiography. This thorough assessment helps us determine the size, location, and characteristics of the aneurysm, enabling us to customize a treatment plan that best suits your individual needs.
For many patients, we offer minimally invasive endovascular techniques. These procedures involve accessing the aneurysm through small incisions in the blood vessels, using advanced tools such as coils or stents to reinforce weakened vessel walls and prevent further rupture. This approach often results in quicker recovery times and reduced post-operative discomfort.
In cases where the aneurysm is complex or requires more extensive intervention, we specialize in traditional open surgical techniques. This may involve accessing the aneurysm directly through a surgical incision in the skull or spine, allowing for precise repair and reconstruction of the affected blood vessels.
Led by Dr. Benjamin Yim, our team brings extensive experience and expertise in cerebrovascular surgeries. Dr. Yim’s specialized training and dedication to advancing neurosurgical techniques ensure that you receive the highest quality of surgical care, tailored to your specific condition and health goals.
Throughout your treatment journey, we emphasize clear communication and collaborative decision-making. We are committed to providing you and your loved ones with detailed explanations of your treatment options, addressing any concerns you may have, and supporting you every step of the way toward recovery.
Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond treatment. We provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up care to ensure the long-term success of your treatment plan and your continued health and comfort.
