| | Aneurysm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For example, certain wide-necked and inaccessible aneurysms currently still require surgical intervention, even though new methods (that use a type of stent) are already being studied and tested. | | | This operation became the standard of care for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms as microneurosurgical techniques were refined in the 1980's and 1990's. | | | Two recent studies seem to reflect particularly high risk of surgery in patients over 65 years of age and also suggest that early risks are higher in surgically treated patients. |

| | Aneurysms in the lower chest and the area below your stomach (the descending thoracic and abdominal parts of the aorta) may not be as life-threatening. | | | Aneurysms can be detected by physical exam, on a basic chest or stomach x-ray, or by using ultrasound. | | | Aortic aneurysms may cause shortness of breath, a croaky or raspy voice, backache, or pain in your left shoulder or between your shoulder blades. |

| | Whether to obliterate an aneurysm surgically through a craniotomy and clipping or to use endovascular methods is a decision made by the neurosurgeon and the endovascular radiologists as a team based on which approach best suits each patient's aneurysm. | | | The incidence of saccular aneurysms in patients with primary cerebral neoplasms does not appear to be significantly higher than the incidence of aneurysms in the general population, although some authors report a slightly higher incidence with meningiomas. | | | Choosing surgery for patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms involves weighing the risk of intracranial hemorrhage against the risks associated with brain surgery. |

| | In a dissecting aneurysm, pain usually occurs suddenly, with a tearing or ripping sensation in the thorax or anterior chest. | | | Pressure on lumbar nerves may lead to lumbar pain that radiates to the flank and groin. | | | The patient may develop aortic valve insufficiency; diastolic murmur; substernal ache in his shoulders, lower back, or abdomen; marked respiratory distress, with dyspnea, brassy cough, or wheezing; hoarseness or loss of voice. |

| | Ventricular aneurysm |
| | The principle symptom of a ventricular aneurysm is cardiac insufficiency, a condition in which not enough blood is being pumped to the body. | | | Blood clots (thrombi) may form on the inside wall of the aneurysm and produce systemic blood clots that get stuck in a blood vessel (embolisms), which could lead to stroke or an ischemic leg (a usually painful condition in which lack of blood circulation leads to reduced function). | | | This heart murmur is caused by the heart muscles no longer being able to properly operate the mitral valve. |
