hi there, I have just read your post, welcome to our forum.

How did your Mum get on with the angiogram and has she been advised on the type of surgery that would probably be best for her. Every patient and every aneurysm is different. The treatment options often depend on size and shape.

I was diagnosed with seven yes seven unruptured aneurysms late in 2004, they were found by accident during an MRI scan for something else which fortunately did not also exist. I was told that one of these aneurysms could not be clipped due to its location so it had to be coiled. After that one was coiled I was given the option of either clipping or coiling for another two aneurysms, as i had had a successful outcome to the first procedure I chose coiling again for the next two aneurysms. I still have four tiny ones untreated which are currently being monitored.

In my case the coilings have been completely successful for the three that have been treated, I have had yearly MRA's to check the surgery and also the other untreated annies, and all is well.

Do let me know the outcome of your Mums angiogram.
