They do the same with that as they do with any other aneurysm. Today they run a tube up through a leg artery with a piece of rolled up screen like material on it. They twist it around until they find the aneurysm. Then they unroll the piece of screen like material inside the artery. It provides a patch. If the aneurysm has burst, they may need to go inside the body and do emergency surgery. In that case they may put a patch on the outsides of the artery like a hose. It depends on the type of situation.
An aneurysm is a sac-like widening of an artery, usually due to weak artery walls. The carotid artery is an artery in the neck going to the head. An aneurysm in a carotid artery is known as a carotid artery aneurysm.
Aneurysm

It is called an Aneurysm
Gastric Artery - esophageal branch and hepatic Common Hepatic Artery - Proper hepatic artery, Right Gastric artery and Gastroduodenal artery Splenic Artery - Dorsal pancreatic, short gastric and Left Gastro-omental
aneurysm
atheroscerosis
In ICD-9, the coding for aneurysms and specific conditions is distinct. A right posterior communicating artery aneurysm would typically be coded as aneurysm of the right posterior communicating artery (ICD-9 code 437.3). An anterior communicating artery aneurysm would generally be coded as 437.1. For right otitis externa, the code would be 380.12. Each condition would need to be documented separately in the medical records.
No CPT code was found for "craniotomy clipping of right posterior communicating artery aneurysm."
Non ruptured aneurysm is 437.3 and ruptured is 430
414.10 Look for Aneurysm/Ventricular repair on ventricular aneurysm is a surgical procedure.
