If a medical professional discovers a ruptured aneurysm, the patient will undergo surgery to repair the bleed. One such operation is surgical clipping, which aims to close off an aneurysm and stop the bleeding. The surgeon will remove a portion of the skull to expose the brain and find the aneurysm. He or she will then put a metal clip where the bleeding has occurred to stop it. Another surgery, endovascular coiling, is less invasive and involves placing a catheter into an artery in the groin area and pushing it through to the brain to the aneurysm. The metal coil disrupts the flow of blood to an aneurysm.
