Yes, in fact, in general, most brain aneurysms are treated with Interventional/Endovascular procedures such as “coiling” or “stenting” or both. In some cases it may require both open ( aneurysm clipping) and coiling. Open aneurysm surgery is becoming less common but still necessary for some es of aneurysms as well as their location.

Get a second opinion, but get it NOW.
