I believe that if you did a show on Brain or other anuerysms for that matter more people could be saved. So many people do not know the symptoms or causes andtoo many are dying from them. I am one of the Lucky ones I survived but not because I knew anything but my doctors did and the first responders, so PLEASE do a show to help save more people. thank you.

I would like to see a show on Brain Aneurysms. I was recently treated at the Cleveland Clinic for a "giant" aneurysm on my basilar artery, I am healthy 33 year old with none of the typical risk factors. I had a non-FDA approved surgery to place a Pipeline stent designed by Covidien. There are few to no good options for treating brain aneurysms and I would like attention brought to this issue with hopes that medical advances will give patients better treatment options and chances for early detection.

The doctors at the Cleveland Clinic have seen a rise in the occurrence of aneurysms, whether that is because they are becoming more common or being diagnosed more frequently is the question. Most aneurysms are found while running scans for other purposes which reveal these time bombs.

While speaking with my doctor, he indicated that there is new evidence that procedures such as coiling or clipping are ineffective long term. For instance, I believe he said coiled aneurysms have a high chance of re-occurrence (80%) . The pressure in the artery compacts the coils into the artery wall and the aneurysm grows so you are left with an aneurysm with a metal lining. Devices like the Pipeline Stent are still untested, but the results are promising.

My 33 year-old daughter was recently treated at the Cleveland Clinic for a giant brain aneurysm located in her basilar artery. To remedy the problem she received an experimental treatment using a pipeline stent. Thankfully, the procedure was successful in spite of some initial setbacks (that likely were a normal response to the treatment) and her prognosis for a full recovery is good. You can read some of her personal blog entries about her experience at: http://julainenoel.weebly.com/

Frankly, in reviewing her blog and even the copies of my emails that she used, we were all really understating the issues, complications, and her recovery path. For myself, I think I was trying to downplay what was going on so as not to frighten everyone to death! Julaine really has a fascinating story to tell and although unusual, I believe her story is an important one to bring to your viewers attention.

I keep seeing colonoscopy's getting done for people with family histories of Colon Cancer and a history of colon polyps, but, I never hear Dr. Jim Sears talk about adults who have had Giant Jeuvenile Polyps as children and whether we should be screened. Aren't we important too.
