Need advice on a rare case
21 F unruptured Fusiform Aneurysm + Thrombus on MRA 8 x 11.5 mm
hi! i am mostly making this post to ask for people's experiences with stents and such.
i have a rare type of aneurysm and have actually made a post in this thread two years back when it was originally found out about but last week i found out my aneurysm got bigger! and half of it thrombosed.
i am honestly scared down to my bones but the doctors told me since they only see a case like mine once a year they are stumped on what to do. i am going into surgery tomorrow for them to place a stent through my entire MRA (hopefully, they have to confirm with another angiogram if this is possible) but.. most of the time stents do not go through the entire artery but because mine is so 'unique' that is one out of two solutions (other is opening my skull). what is everyone's experiences with stents and were you able to go back to living a normal life?
what i am most terrified about is not being able to return back to uni or completing my degree when i am so close to being done especially since my doctors told me all the risks of a stent, my chances are tripled since itll go through my entire artery.
