An aneurysm is an abnormal bulging area in a vessel wall that is thin and weak.  Aneurysms can rupture causing subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke.  “Coiling” of an aneurysm can block off the blood flow to the aneurysm and prevent it from rupturing.  This is a neuroendovascular procedure in which the neurosurgeon place a small catheter in the femoral artery in the groin, advances the microcatheter into the brain, and through this catheter places coils in the aneurysm.  The blood flow into the aneurysm is stopped and the aneurysm will not rupture.
