University of Pittsburgh will lead effort to study brain aneurysms

Quoted: “Aneurysms are not uncommon, and a great majority of aneurysms don’t rupture,” said Charles Strother, an emeritus professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. “So when you are faced with a patient with an unruptured aneurysm, it’s a quandary because if it ruptures, it’s a serious condition and 30 to 40 percent of patients die.”
