A 67-year-old patient from Tamil Nadu, suffering from brain aneurysm, has been miraculously saved by a team of doctors at Kerala' KIMSHEALTH hospital in Trivandrum, by performing a complicated procedure. For the first time ever in India, brain aneurysm has been treated with Intrasaccular flow diversion' treatment, using the 'Trenza' device.
Brain aneurysms are balloon-like bulges in blood vessels in the brain. The condition can sometimes lead to brain hemorrhage.
The patient was experiencing persistent headache for the past one year. After MRI and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), it was revealed that he had a middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm on the left side. The doctors decided to perform the 'flow diversion' technique after considering the patient's condition and the location of the aneurysm.
