Aneurysm treatment, angiogram C018 / 0537
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 (white, cenrte) 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 process of treating an aneurysm, a potentially life-threatening condition. The image features a coloured angiogram, which is an X-ray overlaid on a computer model, depicting the treatment procedure for a 39-year-old patient with an aneurysm in the posterior communicating artery. In this minimally invasive technique, a platinum coil can be seen inserted into the affected artery to block blood flow. The white coil stands out against the vibrant colours of the angiogram and serves as a crucial element in preventing severe hemorrhaging or other complications that could lead to death. Aneurysms are abnormal bulges filled with blood that form when weakened vessel walls succumb to disease or other factors. Bursting poses significant risks, making timely treatment essential for patients like this individual in their thirties. The composite image beautifully captures both the medical aspect and human body involved in this complex procedure. It provides valuable insight into how advanced radiography techniques such as angiography aid healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating vascular disorders. This photograph from ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY not only highlights medical advancements but also raises awareness about conditions like aneurysms that require immediate attention for optimal patient outcomes.
