^^ If you follow the link, there is an article i found about how doctors have now found a new way to treat brain aneurysms using a  newly FDA approved pipeline stent. The article is pretty much about a girl named faith who had a brain aneurysm that doctors couldnt get to through normal procedures, and the pipline stent completely saved her life. She says in the article that everry day she is gettting stronger, and feeling better. As for the pipeline stent, it is used by inserting the stent into a persons leg. The stent then starts to expand against the walls of the artery, and across the aneurysm, thus cutting of blood flow. The blood that remains in the blocked-off aneurysm then forms a bloodclot, which reduses the chance for the aneurysm to grow, or rupture. With this new, modern advancement in the medical sciences, doctors can now go through a blood vessel and reconstruct an entire section of the body. The aneurysm will completely heal around the stent, and go away. Although, as of right now, the stent is only FDA approved for certain types of aneurysms, and reduces the recovery time for patients from 6 monthes, to 10 days.
