I am a Neurosurgeon, doing all kinds of brain and spine surgeries. Specially endovascular coiling of aneurysm, embolization of AVM's dural AV fistulas, carotid stenting.
Aneurysms are bulges in blood vessels that can rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding. Dr. D.P. Sharma (MBBS, MS, M.Ch Neurosurgery, Fellow Endovascular Surgery) specializes in advanced endovascular and microsurgical treatments for brain aneurysms, offering safe, effective, and minimally invasive options. At his neurosurgery practice in Jaipur, patients receive expert care with the latest techniques like coiling, stenting, and flow diversion.
An aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel wall weakens and balloons outward. In the brain, this can lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, or even sudden death if untreated. Many aneurysms remain silent until rupture, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial.
Definition: A Digital Subtraction Angiography with 3D imaging provides a detailed map of brain blood vessels and aneurysms. It helps in treatment planning for precise results.
Why it’s done: To detect aneurysm size, shape, location, and risk of rupture.
Process: A catheter is inserted into the blood vessel (usually groin or wrist), contrast dye is injected, and 3D images are captured.
Recovery: Usually same-day discharge, mild soreness at catheter site, return to routine in 24 hours.
Definition: Platinum coils are placed inside the aneurysm sac to promote clotting and block blood flow.
Indications: Suitable for small-to-medium aneurysms, especially those at risk of rupture.
Process: Through a catheter, coils are delivered into the aneurysm under live X-ray guidance.
Recovery: 1–2 days hospital stay, return to work within a week.
Definition: For wide-necked aneurysms, a temporary balloon or permanent stent supports coil placement.
Why it’s done: Prevents coils from slipping and ensures complete sealing of aneurysm.
Recovery: Similar to coiling, slightly longer if stent is placed (as blood thinners are prescribed).
Definition: Special stents with fine mesh are placed across the aneurysm neck to divert blood flow.
Indications: Large, wide-neck, or complex aneurysms unsuitable for coiling.
Process: Flow diverter stent redirects blood, leading to gradual thrombosis inside aneurysm.
Recovery: 2–3 days hospital stay, longer on blood thinners, long-term follow-up essential.
Definition: Covered stents that reline the vessel, excluding aneurysm from circulation.
Why it’s done: For larger or complex aneurysms not manageable with coils or flow diverters.
Recovery: Few days hospitalization, return to normal activities in 1–2 weeks.
Definition: A liquid embolic glue used to block aneurysms or abnormal vessels.
Role: Especially useful for complex aneurysms or in combination with coils.
These are branded devices used worldwide for aneurysm management. Dr. Sharma selects the most suitable device based on aneurysm size, shape, and patient condition.
With qualifications in MBBS, MS (General Surgery), M.Ch (Neurosurgery), and Fellowship in Endovascular Surgery, Dr. Sharma offers both endovascular and microsurgical expertise. His experience in advanced coiling, flow diversion, and minimally invasive procedures ensures patients get world-class care in Jaipur.

Coiling is less invasive, has shorter recovery time, and is preferred for many patients. However, the best option depends on aneurysm type and patient health.
Most patients require blood thinners for several months; some may need them long-term depending on vessel condition.
They have high success rates for complex aneurysms but require long-term follow-up to ensure complete closure.
