Clipping and Coiling Mortality Rate

The most common treatments for brain aneurysms are clipping and coiling. Clipping involves the surgical placement of small metal clip around the "neck" of the aneurysm to prevent bleeding. Coiling involves the filling of an aneurysm sac with material to prevent blood from entering the aneurysm. Aneurysm coiling is done by guiding a catheter from an artery in the leg to the site of the aneurysm.
