For the Newly Diagnosed
If you’ve been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, you want the best available treatment and a single resource to learn all about your condition. The Swedish Cerebrovascular Center is part of one of the largest neuroscience institutes in the country and offers you both - without having to search endlessly online for information you can trust.
If you have a brain aneurysm that has not burst, you typically have a greater than 90% chance for successful treatment and a normal life. For treatment, it’s ideal to choose a hospital with extensive experience. That’s because results are typically better at hospitals that treat at least 25-50 brain aneurysm patients per year. Swedish Cerebrovascular Center in Seattle treats more than 150 patients each year. Our level of experience helps us better understand the sometimes complex challenges of treating brain aneurysms.
In the videos below, you can get expert advice from one of our top neurosurgeons, Dr. David Newell, and hear from a brain aneurysm patient.

Patient Stories
Anxiety? Fatigue? Or something more serious? She’ll be the first to admit it: Tera Teeple was stressed out. She was running her own hair and tanning salon in Gig Harbor and raising an energetic young son. So when Tera began to suffer episodes of blurred vision and dizziness, she easily dismissed them as stress and exhaustion.
