Aneurysm treatment, angiogram C018 / 0519
Aneurysm treatment. Angiogram (X-ray) overlaid on a computer model of the treatment of a patient with an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. A stent (white mesh) has been inserted into the artery to reinforce it. Aneurysms are localised, blood-filled balloon-like bulges in the wall of a blood vessel. They form when the wall is weakened by disease or another cause. If they burst there is the danger of death or other complications due to severe hemorrhaging (bleeding)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of treating an aneurysm, a potentially life-threatening condition. The image features an angiogram, which is an X-ray overlaid on a computer model, illustrating the treatment of a patient with an internal carotid artery aneurysm. To reinforce the weakened artery wall and prevent rupture, a stent in the form of a white mesh has been inserted. Aneurysms are localized bulges filled with blood that develop when the vessel wall becomes weak due to disease or other factors. If left untreated, these bulges can burst, leading to severe hemorrhaging and even death. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both the complexity involved in treating such conditions and the potential dangers they pose. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this medical marvel while highlighting key elements like blood vessels and brain structures. From this side view perspective, viewers gain insight into how medical professionals navigate through delicate procedures to save lives. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this momentous event in healthcare history—showcasing not only their technical prowess but also their dedication to documenting groundbreaking advancements for educational purposes.
