Coiling is an endovascular treatment for brain aneurysms that doesn’t require open surgery. During the procedure, a thin tube is guided through an artery to the aneurysm, where a tiny platinum coil (or multiple coils) is placed inside. https://t.co/d9E62a0lSq

Surviving a brain aneurysm changes your perspective on everything. For many survivors, the biggest lesson isn’t about what they lost, but what they gained, a deeper appreciation for life itself. Every morning feels like a gift, every moment a reminder of resilience.

Brain aneurysm research is drastically underfunded; the federal government spends just $2.94 per person each year. That’s less than a cup of coffee for every life affected, while conditions with similar death rates get far more funding. https://t.co/q751KH0kkx
