An intracranial aneurysm can raise urgent questions, even when you feel well. I am Tigran Khachatryan, MD, PhD, a neurovascular and endovascular neurologist practicing at the Armenian Neuroscience Institute.
My clinical work includes diagnosis and Cerebral or Brain Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, CA, including endovascular embolization and management of complications such as vasospasm. The treatment goal is to reduce the risk of rupture or re-bleeding, lower the chance of complications, and support safe recovery based on your specific diagnosis.
My care approach is centered on image-guided, minimally invasive endovascular techniques when treatment is appropriate, along with careful monitoring when observation is the safer plan. Imaging such as CTA, MRA, and, when needed, diagnostic cerebral angiography helps me determine whether Intracranial Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, CA is appropriate for you, or whether structured follow-up is the better choice.
Treatment is selected based on aneurysm anatomy, symptoms, and whether an aneurysm is ruptured or unruptured. When a procedure is appropriate, I typically treat aneurysms endovascularly through the blood vessels. Planning for Brain or Cerebral Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, CA includes a detailed imaging review and a discussion of benefits, risks, and follow-up.
Before a procedure, I review your imaging, confirm the goal of treatment, and explain the plan step by step. You can expect a clear discussion of risks that apply to your situation, along with medication instructions, including what to do about blood thinners and antiplatelet therapy.
You will also receive guidance on eating and drinking, arrival timing, and what to bring. If you are arranging Brain Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, CA, my office can help you gather prior imaging and reports so we can use your visit time efficiently.
Most endovascular procedures use a small access site, commonly at the wrist or groin. Using real-time imaging, I guide catheters through the blood vessels to the aneurysm or to the affected artery segment.
Depending on the plan, I may perform diagnostic angiography, place coils, use a stent or flow diverter, or treat vasospasm when it is clinically appropriate. Vital signs and neurologic status are monitored continuously.
After the procedure, you will be observed while the access site stabilizes and your neurologic status is monitored. Some patients go home the same day, and others stay in the hospital depending on the procedure and overall condition.
Follow-up imaging is often part of care because it helps confirm that the aneurysm remains protected over time. I provide clear instructions on activity, medications, and symptoms that should prompt urgent evaluation.
Care is provided by appointment, and walk-in visits are not accommodated. If you are looking for Brain Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, I recommend calling to arrange a consultation and to ask what imaging to bring.
For patients seeking Brain Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, CA, I also offer expedited consultations when clinically appropriate, and new patients are welcome. If you would like a detailed review of Cerebral Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, CA, I will walk you through your images and outline a plan that matches your aneurysm and your overall health.
If you are ready to take the next step, you can call to request an evaluation for Brain Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, CA, and I will help you understand your options and the timing that makes sense for your situation. If you are exploring Cerebral Aneurysm Treatment in Glendale, I review the reasoning behind each option so decisions feel informed and organized.
