Aneurysm treatment, angiogram C018 / 0525
Aneurysm treatment. Coloured angiogram (X-ray) overlaid on a computer model of the treatment of a patient with an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. A stent (white mesh) has been inserted into the artery to reinforce it. 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 process of treating an aneurysm, a potentially life-threatening condition. The image combines a coloured angiogram, obtained through X-ray imaging, with a computer model to illustrate the treatment procedure for a patient with an aneurysm in their internal carotid artery. The white mesh stent visible within the artery serves as reinforcement against further weakening or rupture. Aneurysms are abnormal bulges filled with blood that form when the vessel wall becomes weakened due to disease or other factors. If left untreated, they can lead to severe hemorrhaging and even death. In this composite image, we witness the convergence of medicine and technology as healthcare professionals employ advanced techniques to address this disorder. The profile view allows us to appreciate both the complexity of our vascular system and the delicate nature of this particular ailment. With its vibrant colours and detailed imagery, this photograph not only provides valuable insights into medical procedures but also reminds us of our own vulnerability as human beings. It highlights how scientific advancements continue to play a crucial role in improving our understanding and treatment options for various diseases affecting vital organs like the brain.
