Aneurysm Clipping and Coiling

We offer advanced aneurysm clipping and coiling. Our neurosurgical team focuses on safety, recovery and compassionate care for you and your loved ones.

TidalHealth offers advanced care for brain aneurysms through neurosurgical treatments such as aneurysm clipping and coiling. These procedures are designed to repair weakened blood vessels in the brain and prevent rupture, helping protect patients from serious complications.

Treatment Options

  • Aneurysm Clipping: A surgical method where a small clip is placed at the base of the aneurysm to stop blood flow into the weakened area.
  • Aneurysm Coiling: A minimally invasive approach where tiny coils are inserted into the aneurysm to promote clotting and seal it from the inside.

Both options aim to prevent bleeding and support long-term brain health.

  • Preoperative education to help you and your caregivers understand the procedure and recovery process.
  • Personalized recovery plans, which may include outpatient therapy, home health care, or rehabilitation services.
