What is Endovascular Coiling?

Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive procedure performed to treat cerebral aneurysms and certain vascular malformations in the brain. These conditions can weaken blood vessels and increase the risk of bleeding or rupture. When symptoms such as severe headache, vision changes, or neurological deficits appear, your neurologist will recommend detailed imaging like MRI brain, CT angiography, or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to determine the size, shape, and risk level of the aneurysm and decide if brain aneurysm treatment is needed.

During the procedure, a thin catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the affected area, where tiny platinum coils are placed inside the aneurysm. This technique—commonly used for cerebral aneurysm treatment and brain coiling surgery—helps seal the aneurysm from within, preventing blood flow into the weakened area and reducing the risk of rupture. In the case of vascular malformations, similar endovascular techniques are used to safely block abnormal vessels.

If your scans show a high-risk aneurysm or vascular malformation, your neuro specialist may recommend endovascular coiling as a safe, effective, and less invasive alternative to open surgery. At Apollo Hospitals, our experienced neuro-interventional team offers advanced coiling procedures with clear guidance, modern imaging support, and comprehensive care throughout your brain aneurysm treatment journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coiling is advised when imaging tests like MRI, CT angiography, or DSA show a high-risk aneurysm or certain types of vascular malformations that may bleed or cause neurological symptoms. 

A thin catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin or wrist and guided to the aneurysm. Platinum coils are placed inside to block blood flow and seal the aneurysm from within. This is commonly known as brain coiling surgery.

Yes. It is considered safer and less invasive than open surgery, especially when performed by experienced neuro-interventional specialists like those at Apollo Hospitals.

Most patients recover within a few days. Your neurologist will recommend follow-up imaging to monitor healing and ensure the aneurysm remains sealed.

In most cases, cerebral aneurysm treatment with coiling offers long-term protection. Some patients may need periodic scans to ensure the coils remain stable.

Yes. Certain vascular malformations can be treated using similar endovascular techniques to block abnormal vessels and reduce bleeding risk.
