I too would like to see a show on Brain Aneurysm's. My wife suffered an Aneurysm on January 10th, 2012. She had a subarachnoid hemmorhage of the Carotid Artery. She had a very large rupture and was treated by an amazing team at University Hospital in Cleveland. My wife did have coil embolization to initially treat the aneurysm. My wife did have to go back in March and they used experimental Onyx 500 to obliterate the aneurysm. My wife had NO deficits from her aneurysm. She is one of the very lucky ones. My wife's mother also suffered an aneurysm at 52 and survived but did have major deficits. My wife had hers at 47. There is some hereditary or congenital factors and research must be done. I have to disagree with Julainenoel and her doctor. Their facts on coil embolization are just not correct. While it is true that coils do sometimes collapse it is nowhere near 80%. There have been studies on this procedure and with frequent MRA's it has very high success rates. Clipping of aneurysm's is the best method to date. The problem with clipping is getting to the location without causing any other damage, like having to go through the optical nerve. Some of the locations are very hard to reach and damage is caused. There is chance of rebleed with surgical clipping. Another thing people are not aware of are Vasospasm. Blood vessels do not like blood. These are the second leading cause of death after the initial rupture and after they treat the aneurysm, Vasospasm are 3-21 days post rupture. They will either use transcranial Doppler or by clinical signs. I can go on with a lot more information. I hope the doctors read this and decide to do a show on Brain Aneurysms. Any awareness will help.

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.
