A brain aneurysm is a serious condition where a weakened blood vessel wall in the brain bulges like a balloon. This bulge can rupture, leading to life-threatening brain bleeding. Although brain aneurysms often show no symptoms in the early stages, they can silently progress and only be detected once complications occur.
To treat brain aneurysms, Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital offers state-of-the-art treatments: DSA Coiling and Microsurgery Clipping, performed directly by Dr. Mardjono Tjahjadi, also known as Dr. Joy.

Advanced Brain Aneurysm Treatments at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital
DSA Coiling – Minimally Invasive Brain Aneurysm Treatment
DSA Coiling is a minimally invasive procedure that seals a brain aneurysm by placing thin platinum coils inside the bulging blood vessel. This procedure uses Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) technology, ensuring precise placement of the coils.
Procedure:
- A catheter is inserted through the blood vessel in the groin or wrist.
- The catheter is guided to the brain’s blood vessels with DSA imaging.
- Thin coils are inserted into the aneurysm sac, blocking blood flow into the bulge.
- The aneurysm gradually shrinks, reducing the risk of rupture.
Advantages:
- Minimally invasive, no need to open the skull.
- Lower risk of bleeding compared to open surgery.
- Faster recovery; most patients recover within days.
- Suitable for aneurysms in hard-to-reach areas via open surgery.
Microsurgery Clipping – Direct Surgical Solution for Brain Aneurysm
Microsurgery Clipping is an open surgical procedure to close a brain aneurysm by placing a special metal clip at its neck, preventing blood flow into the bulge.
Procedure:
- A craniotomy (opening part of the skull) is performed.
- Using a surgical microscope, the aneurysm is located and exposed.
- A titanium clip is placed at the base of the aneurysm to block blood flow.
- The skull bone is closed after the clip is securely in place.
Advantages:
- Provides a permanent solution by directly closing the aneurysm.
- Lower recurrence rate compared to some other methods.
- Effective for large or complex aneurysms.
- The metal clip is permanent and safe inside the body for life.
