The treatment of brain aneurysm through coiling for the general public has been started at discounted rates at the Super Specialty Hospital of Netaji Subhash Chandra Medical College, Jabalpur. This facility is available in very limited institutions in the country. The treatment of brain aneurysm usually costs around Rs 5 to 8 lakhs depending on the number of coils and stents.
Aneurysm is the state of the blood vessels of the brain in which blood vessels rupture due to weakening of the wall. In most of the cases lack of treatment leads to death of the patient. If not treated at the right time, frequent bleeding occurs, which causes unbearable pain to the patient.
Brain aneurysm are also treated by surgery, in which there is a high risk and can cause the death of the patient. Treatment of brain aneurysm through coiling is a low-risk treatment similar to angioplasty.
This technique is much better than the treatment through medicines.
The hospital’s head of the department, Dr Pradeep Kasar said that with the help of the government, the facility of treatment of diseases available in big cities is now being provided in Government hospitals of the State.
Brain stroke is also being treated at the Super Specialty Hospital, Jabalpur, in which the blood clots are removed by mechanical method.
This method is much better than the treatment of medicines.
