Hello. I'm new here. I'm 43 and I have a large unruptured asymptomatic aneurysm. It was coiled in 2009. My followup angiogram showed that blood is re-entering slightly, and today I got my second follow up... The doctor is talking about stenting, and when I learned more about that, it didn't seem like a "slam-dunk" (issues of needing to be retreated, needing to be on aspirin for life, complications during surgery and after are not insignificant, etc.) So then I started to look into Clipping and while it is obviously more invasive, it seems more permanent and has a longer issue of use and "security" with that knowledge. But complication rates seem higher. Anyways, this is obviously a very big decision, and there is no one for-sure for-sure answer, right? So, anyone out there have any advice, any opinions, and good questions I should ask my doc before deciding, etc.

Thanks!
Kim
