Clip the Aneurysm
• This procedure is highly invasive and should only be done when the aneurysm is located close to the surface of the brain and on younger patients. Please think carefully before proceeding with this procedure on this patient.
Coil the Aneurysm
• Correct! This procedure is much less invasive and a better choice for this patient. Go forward with your treatment of this patient.

Scene C Conclusion
Dr. _______,
Congratulations! You found the aneurysm in Mr. Jones’ anterior communicating artery and have to decided to coil the aneurysm. In order to do this, you must first perform a catheter angiogram in order to reach the aneurysm. Mr. Jones is waiting for you in the CT angiogram room.
