What does the endovascular coil embolization procedure involve?

Endovascular coil embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat brain aneurysms. A catheter is inserted through the femoral artery in the groin and guided to the aneurysm site using real-time X-ray imaging. Tiny platinum coils are then deployed into the aneurysm to block blood flow, reducing the risk of rupture. The entire process is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a hospital stay of 3 to 5 days.
