New hope for brain aneurysm survivors
Ruptured brain aneurysms are some of the most lethal silent killers in the world, claiming almost 500,000 deaths worldwide each year. They typically cause no prior symptoms, and, in most cases, go unnoticed until it’s too late. New research conducted by neurology Assoc. Prof. J. Javier Provencio and colleagues at the School of Medicine presents an opportunity to limit patients’ brain damage after a ruptured brain aneurysm has occurred.
