What is the medical term meaning surgical removal of an aneurysm?

Aortoplasty is a general term for surgical repair of the aorta.

That depends on the type of repair that is being performed, it can be called "Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair" when it is a surgical procedure to repair an aortic aneurysm done through the major blood vessels of the body. Depending on the procedure used and the problem being repaired different techniques may be used such as:

Patching, used when there are tears in the valve, fixed through surgical insertion of a tissue patch.

Commissurotomy, which is when the valve is narrowed, an incision of a commissure into the valve is used to fix the problem.

Reshaping, used to reshape the valve so that it can close properly.

Valvuloplasty, used to increase opening of valve and improve blood flow when the valve has become rigid with calcium buildup. This is done through the insertion of a balloon catheter.

Decalcification, used when there is a calcium build up, removes excess calcium so that valve can function properly.

Will an MRI show a brain aneurysm?

If it's a structural MRI, it will show you a picture of the structure of your brain, allowing you to see the shape and location of different brain areas. Since the 'normal' layout of the brain is known, an individual's brain can then be compared to the 'normal' brain to check for abnormalities like bleeding in the brain, or tumors, or signs of cell death, etc.

If it's a functional MRI (fMRI), it shows the activity of brain regions. For example, if you scan a person who is not looking at anything, you will see an image of the brain activity. Now, if you scan this same person while they are looking at something, you will see that the areas responsible for visual processing have a higher level of activity. Subtracting the amount of activity from the image taken when the person wasn't looking at something from the image taken when they were will let you determine how much this brain region activated in response to what you showed them.

What are treatment options for a carotid artery aneurysm?

The treatment options for a carotid aneurysm are usually Clipping or coiling Clipping is an open procedure, usually performed by a neurosurgeon. An inscision is made and a small clip is placed over the aneurysm. The purpose of this is to prevent blood flow into the aneurysm and possible rupture. Coiling is a minimally invasive procedure. A thin tube is placed into the femoral artery, located in the groin and manouvered into the carotid artery. This is done under fluroscopy (x ray) imaging normally. Small metal colis are passed through ths tube, providing haemostasis within the aneurysm. Both procedures have similar success rates, however, coiling is becoming increasingly popular as the recovery period is usually quicker.

What is aneurysmorrhaphy?

Aneurysmorrhaphy is a surgical procedure used to repair an aneurysm, which is an abnormal bulge in a blood vessel due to weakness in the vessel wall. During the procedure, the aneurysm is typically opened, the inner lining may be reinforced or repaired, and the surrounding tissue is sutured to restore normal blood flow and stability. This technique can be employed for various types of aneurysms, including those in arteries, to prevent rupture and reduce the risk of complications.

Can someone get a brain aneurysm or die from rocking back and forth regularly?

Since I have been young I can remember rocking back and forth. I would either do it while sitting on my couch or lying in my bed by bashing my head in my pillow. The weird thing was that I only enjoyed doing it while watching TV or listening to music. I especially find it hard to be able to listen to music even when I am in a car without rocking back and forth. My main concern has always been if doing this regularly causes people to have any brain problems that can lead to serious problems or even death. I always hear of cases where a single blow to the head can cause a brain aneurysm that leads to death or cases where people live with a brain aneurysm and do not even realize it. I have been doing this for 19 years now and because I do not know how to stop myself from rocking/ what can happen to you/ what it is called I am more worried.

What do they do with aneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery?

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.
