AMC Achieves 20,000 Cerebral Aneurysm Treatments
Cerebral aneurysms, often referred to as a “ticking time bomb in the brain,” occur when a weakened area of a blood vessel wall in the brain becomes enlarged like a balloon. Because they usually cause no symptoms before rupture, they are difficult to detect. However, once ruptured, they can lead to brain hemorrhage and become life threatening. Therefore, early detection and preventive treatment before rupture, as well as emergency treatment after rupture, are crucial.
AMC Ranked World’s Top 10 in Six Clinical Specialties
