These Devices Are the Weapons to Defeat Brain Aneurysms

Brain aneurysm, a term that sends chills down the spine, is truly like a cold, unforgiving time bomb in our heads that could detonate at any time when we are unprepared. Interventional surgery, on the other hand, is that heroic and intrepid bomb disposal expert who, armed with all kinds of sophisticated tools, goes behind enemy lines, ready to defuse this deadly bomb.

One of the key players in this battle against death is the "spring coil". This is not the ordinary spring coil you see at home in toys or machines, but a life-saving tool in the hands of a doctor. It's as small and delicate as a small roll of gold or silver wire, but underneath that small appearance lies a huge amount of power. Inside the operating room, the atmosphere is tense and solemn. Doctors are fully focused as they pass the thin spring coil through a catheter and slowly feed it deep into the brain, traversing the intricate network of blood vessels to the site of the aneurysm. Like a skilful dancer, they performed each movement with precision on a narrow stage. When the spring coil finally reaches the aneurysm's embrace, the doctors gently press it, and it quickly unfolds inside the aneurysm like an awakened spirit, forming a tiny three-dimensional structure. This structure is like a gentle hug that slowly fills the aneurysm's inner space, depriving it of blood. With time, the aneurysm was like a dead tree deprived of its source of life, gradually shrivelling, disappearing, and eventually dissolving into nothing.

Next, let's talk about Mr Stent, who is also instrumental in the surgery. Imagine that Mr. Stent is made of countless fine wires, like a miniature work of art that can be folded. Doctors can delicately compress it into a tiny ball, and then lead it through a maze of twisted blood vessels via a catheter to the heart of the lesion.

Once Mr. Stent reaches its designated location, it gracefully releases itself from the catheter as if by the magic of life, and quickly unfolds itself. At this point, it is like a delicate hollow tube that steadily supports the vessel wall and reinforces a strong "door" outside the aneurysm's "cell. In this way, Mr. Spring Coil, as we mentioned earlier, can safely settle in the aneurysm and no longer worry about escaping. Let's talk about the more advanced "blood flow guide device". The name of the device gives you a sense of technology. It can be seen as a special kind of stent, but more complex and advanced. Imagine that it is made up of many stents nested and interwoven together to form a dense metal network. The mesh of this network is very small, and very high density, so it is also known as the image of the "dense network bracket". When these mesh small to a certain extent, it is like an impermeable barrier, the red blood cells can not pass through. They can only follow the channels of the device, which is called "blood flow guidance". So, when doctors place this miraculous flow-directing device at the door of the aneurysm's "cell," it acts as a loyal guard, keeping the aneurysm safe at all times. In many cases, the aneurysm heals without the need for a spring coil.

In the halls of medicine, every advancement in technology brings us more hope and possibilities. From spring coils to stents in cerebral aneurysm intervention to advanced blood flow guidance devices, every innovation and application of these medical devices brings us one step closer to curing diseases and guarding our health. They are not only the right hand of doctors but also the flower of hope that blooms on the tree of life of patients.

With the continuous progress of science and technology and the increasing improvement of medical technology, we have reason to believe that in the future there will be more such magical medical devices, they will bring us more gospel and miracles. Let's look forward to that day, and let the power of science and technology become the most solid backing to guard our health.
