How much does brain aneurysm surgery cost?

For some patients who need brain aneurysm surgery, the cost of the surgery is what they are most concerned about. So, how much is the cost of brain aneurysm surgery?

The cost of brain aneurysm surgery depends on the condition of each patient. Generally speaking, craniotomy costs about 80,000 yuan, and interventional surgery costs about 120,000 yuan. Patients are advised to consult the local hospital for specific costs.

There are currently two main treatment methods for brain aneurysm surgery:

1. Craniotomy is widely used in China. This surgery involves opening the skull to perform surgery and clipping the aneurysm wall. The surgery is more traumatic but less expensive.

2. Interventional treatment is widely used abroad. This operation involves inserting a catheter into the femoral artery. The catheter goes along the artery into the brain aneurysm. The operation is performed on a computer-like visual screen. Imported platinum coils of corresponding sizes are inserted according to the size of the aneurysm to embolize the aneurysm. The operation is less traumatic but more expensive.

Aneurysms are localized or diffuse expansion or bulging of arterial walls due to lesions or damage to the arterial wall. They are mainly manifested by expansive and pulsating masses. They can occur in any part of the arterial system, but are more common in the main arteries of the limbs, the aorta, and the carotid arteries. According to the location of the aneurysm, it can be divided into peripheral aneurysms, abdominal aortic aneurysms, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, aortic dissecting aneurysms, visceral artery aneurysms, etc. The main manifestations are pulsating masses on the surface of the body, severe pain when the aneurysm compresses the peripheral nerves or ruptures, and thrombi or plaque detachment in the aneurysm cavity leading to distal arterial embolism, resulting in limb and organ ischemia or necrosis.

The cost of brain aneurysm surgery is generally tens of thousands of yuan or more. You can consult a professional for the specific amount.
