Endovascular Coiling

Endovascular coiling may be a technique wont to block the blood flow into an aneurysm. This procedure is also referred to as endovascular embolization. An aneurysm may be a weak area within the wall of an artery. If an aneurysm breaks open or ruptures it can cause life-threatening bleeding and brain damage. Preventing blood flow into an aneurysm helps to stay it shielded from rupturing.

The Procedure

The healthcare provider puts a long and thin tube known as a catheter into a groin artery. The provider slowly moves the catheter into the affected brain artery. After this, he puts the coil in place. The coils used are made of soft platinum metal. They are shaped like a spring that is very small and thin. The size of the coil ranges from twice the width of a person's hair to but one hair's width. Coiling is additionally wont to treat a condition called arteriovenous malformation that's a tangling of blood vessels to cause an abnormal link between an artery and a vein.

Post-procedure

After the procedure, you will be sent to the recovery room or the intensive care unit (ICU) for observation. You are most likely to stay in the hospital if the coiling procedure was done for a ruptured aneurysm. When done for an unruptured aneurysm and your condition is stable you will be allowed to go home a day or 2 after the procedure.

You will have to sleep flat in bed for 12 to 24 hours after the procedure. A nurse is there to finely monitor the vital signs, nervous system signs, circulation or sensation in the affected leg and the insertion site. For any pain or discomfort, you will be given pain medication or from having to lie flat and still for a long period.

Once you have recovered you will be able to go home once your healthcare provider permits otherwise. You may need to stay in a rehab facility in certain situations after repairing a ruptured aneurysm. This is done for your smooth recovery from damage caused by the ruptured aneurysm.
