I hope your aunt is doing well. I just saw your message. I had a aneurysm 10x11 located in the brain drs also said it was inoperable because of location. Coil is usually what is used then. They also said 97% of aneurysms don't burst. When they are found no one knows if your going to be in the 3% that will leak or burst. So drs will correct the problem. I sur hope you could e-mail me back. I needed more done for drs to coil aneurysm. They had to use a coil and stent. I guess I was the first person to ever have that procedure done. I'm alive, MRI's are great, please let me know if your aunt needs a good doctor to get an opinion or referral. I would love to pass this valuable info to you both
