    Hemorrhagic stroke may be treated with surgery or interventional procedures. Depending on the stroke’s cause, your doctor may choose one of the following procedures:
    • Aneurysm clipping. If your stroke results from the rupture or leaking of an aneurysm in the brain, your doctor may place a clamp at the base of the aneurysm. This separates the aneurysm from the circulation of the artery to which it is attached – and is intended to prevent the aneurysm from bursting or re-bleeding if it has already leaked blood.
    • Coiling (aneurysm embolization). In this procedure, a catheter is used to deliver a tiny coil to fill an aneurysm. This seals the aneurysm off from connecting arteries – and the risk of rupture is reduced. 
    • Surgical removal of AVM (malformed arteries in the brain). Surgical removal of malformed vessels in the brain may be possible if they are not too large and are accessible. Removal eliminates the possibility of their rupture and lowers the risks of hemorrhagic stroke.
