Excerpt

When a patient with a ruptured aneurysm has been fortunate enough to reach a hospital alive, the main fear is that the aneurysm may re-bleed. Although initial medical treatment guidelines include measures to reduce the risk of re-bleeding, the only sure way to avoid such a catastrophe is to exclude the aneurysm itself from circulation, whether by surgical or endovascular means. …
