Angioplasty is an incorrect treatment for an aneurysm because it is designed to open narrowed or blocked arteries, not to address the bulging or weak area of a blood vessel that characterizes an aneurysm. Aneurysms require stabilization or repair to prevent rupture, often through surgical methods such as clipping or endovascular stent placement. Angioplasty could inadvertently exacerbate the aneurysm by increasing pressure on the weakened vessel wall. Therefore, specific interventions targeting the aneurysm are necessary for effective treatment.

How do you Treatment aneurysm in circle or willis?
Treatment of an aneurysm in the Circle of Willis typically involves either surgical clipping or endovascular coiling. Surgical clipping involves placing a metal clip at the base of the aneurysm to prevent blood flow into it, while endovascular coiling involves inserting a catheter through the blood vessels to place coils inside the aneurysm, promoting clot formation and sealing it off. The choice of treatment depends on the aneurysm's size, location, and the patient's overall health. Regular monitoring and follow-up imaging may also be necessary to assess the aneurysm's status.
What is an alternative to angioplasty for some patients?
thrombolytic therapy (treatment with drugs that dissolve blood clots) is an alternative

Significance of an aortic aneurysm versus a digital artery aneurysm?
An aortic aneurysm represents an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta. If it ruptures it causes severe pain; massive internal hemmorage and, without prompt treatment, results in a quick death. A digital artery aneurysm is very rare. This is an aneurysm of one of your fingers. It can be treated with surgery and is not fatal.
