The Centro Médico Teknon in Barcelona provides comprehensive treatment for cerebral artery aneurysms. An online consultation with a neurosurgeon costs around €565, while advanced diagnostics like MRI may cost €1,300. Surgical repair options typically range from €25,000 to €45,000. The clinic is led by Dr. Bartolomé Oliver, a neurosurgeon with 49 years of experience and 280+ specialized procedures performed.
Advanced Diagnostics for Aneurysm Detection
The clinic offers a complete diagnostic suite. This allows for precise mapping of the brain's blood vessels. Available imaging options include:
- CT angiography for detailed vessel imaging.
- Digital subtraction angiography for high-resolution views.
- MRI of the brain and cerebral vessels for soft tissue detail.
- Scintigraphy and Ultrasound for additional assessments.
A diagnostic imaging package may cost from several hundred to over a thousand euros.
Surgical and Endovascular Treatment Options
Teknon provides a full spectrum of treatment methods. The choice depends on the aneurysm's location, size, and shape. Dr. Oliver's extensive experience covers all approaches. The available procedures are:
- Microsurgical clipping: This is an open surgery. A titanium clip is placed at the aneurysm's base. It provides a durable, long-term seal. Hospital stay is typically 5-7 days.
- Endovascular coiling: This is a minimally invasive procedure. Platinum coils are placed via a catheter to fill the aneurysm. There is no skull opening. Recovery is faster, with a 2-3 day hospital stay.
- Flow diversion: This is another endovascular technique. A stent-like device is placed in the parent artery. It redirects blood flow away from the aneurysm. It promotes natural healing over time. Hospitalization is typically 1-2 days.
Surgical treatment packages generally cost between €25,000 and €45,000. They typically include the procedure, specialist consultations, and a medical report.
