It is estimated that two to three percent of the population have an aneurysm without knowing it. An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel that can tear or burst. This can lead to life-threatening bleeding in the brain.
In this Primo Medico Specialist Talk podcast, Prof. Andreas Raabe, Director and Chief Physician of the Department of Neurosurgery at Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, talks about how aneurysms develop and are diagnosed. He also discusses symptoms and current treatment approaches, as well as possible complications and risks. Finally, he answers the question of when and how a cure can be achieved.
The podcast was recorded in German.
