"The procedure for his involved inserting a platinum wire coiled up within the bulge to reinforce it and prevent it from ever bursting."
Are you sure that's what they did? Aneurysms burst outward like a balloon. Your description sounds more like a stent to open a blocked artery. Embolization is the opposite of stenting. They are called coils. They block off blood vessels. Don't get medical advice from gun forums. FWIW, I worked almost 5 years in IR. Been in many different procedures to address ruptured and non ruptured cerebral aneurysms.

My Dad died of a brain aneurysm but he didn't know he had it. When it burst he had a bad headache for a short time and then went into a coma. He never woke up.

I am home from my appt. with an advanced DR on surgery on Aneurysms.. He said that due to my cancer treatment that is going on now that surgery for me would be too risky ,,and suggested that I wait to see what the results are going to be from all my Chemo treatments.. and I agree with him.. I don't want to add any possible problems from the surgery . I am willing to take the risk because I think it is the right decision for me... Thank Jesus for me ... Hubert

Best wishes for the best possible outcome.
My Father in Law walked around with an AAA for ten years. His was inoperable due to blood thinners because he had an artificial heart valve. Much different than your issues, but with parallels.
May you kick cancer's ass and then get the aneurysm repaired. Peace be upon you in the meantime.

My Daughter Sandi has had three of them. If they didn't get her to Stanford as quick as they did they said in another hour she would have died. Three surgeries later and they monitor her every year, she got her limit of Turkeys this year and is waiting to see if she get drawn for elk or deer in special hunts. Mu Uncle died of one and they say it runs in families. Thank god for the Doctors at Stanford.
