Cerebrovascular Surgery
Aneurysm & AVM Treatment
Cerebrovascular surgery demands exceptional skill and immediate availability. Our partner centers operate dedicated 24/7 cerebrovascular services with hybrid operating rooms, allowing seamless transition between open and endovascular approaches. High case volumes (>500 aneurysms/year) translate to superior outcomes.

Частые вопросы
Should I choose clipping or coiling for my aneurysm?
The choice depends on aneurysm location, size, neck width, and patient factors. Generally: clipping offers more durable results but requires craniotomy; coiling is less invasive but may need retreatment. Our MDT team will recommend the optimal approach.
What is a hybrid operating room?
A hybrid OR combines traditional surgical equipment with advanced imaging (angiography, CT). This allows the surgeon to switch between open and endovascular approaches during the same procedure if needed, crucial for complex aneurysms.
How soon after aneurysm rupture should surgery be performed?
For ruptured aneurysms, treatment should ideally occur within 24-72 hours to prevent re-bleeding. Our 24/7 emergency service can arrange immediate transfer and treatment.
What are the risks of untreated brain aneurysms?
Rupture risk depends on size, location, and patient factors. Small (<7mm) anterior circulation aneurysms have ~0.1-1% annual rupture risk. Posterior circulation and larger aneurysms carry higher risk. Each case requires individualized assessment.
