It may be the leading risk factor for cerebral aneurysms and subarchnoid hemorrhage. |
Another group of people who are at a higher risk are those with family histories of aneurysms. |
We did this several years ago in a clinical study, in patients who had aneurysms who were scheduled to undergo surgery. |
Some experts have called for ultrasonography and abdominal palpation to detect these aneurysms. |
