Aneurysm treatment, angiogram C018 / 0514
Aneurysm treatment. Coloured angiogram (X-ray) overlaid on a computer model of the treatment of a 39 year old patient with an aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery. A platinum coil (pink) has been inserted to block the flow of blood from the artery. This is a minimally invasive procedure. Aneurysms are localised, blood-filled balloon-like bulges in the wall of a blood vessel. They form when the wall is weakened by disease or another cause. If they burst there is the danger of death or other complications due to severe hemorrhaging (bleeding)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate treatment of a 39-year-old patient with an aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery. The image combines a coloured angiogram, obtained through X-ray technology, overlaid on a computer model to provide a comprehensive visual representation of the procedure. In this minimally invasive approach, a platinum coil is skillfully inserted into the affected blood vessel to obstruct blood flow and prevent potential complications caused by bursting. Aneurysms are abnormal bulges filled with blood that develop when weakened vessel walls succumb to disease or other factors. The dangers associated with their rupture include severe hemorrhaging leading to death or further health issues. The composite photograph not only highlights the medical intervention but also emphasizes the importance of advanced radiography techniques in diagnosing and treating such conditions within our complex human bodies. By utilizing an x-ray machine, healthcare professionals can accurately identify dilated vessels and plan appropriate interventions. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how medical advancements continue to revolutionize our ability to address disorders affecting vital organs like the brain. Through endovascular coiling procedures like this one, patients can receive targeted treatments that minimize risks while maximizing chances for recovery and improved quality of life.
