It was not safe to coil me as my arteries are tortuous, web-like and prone to dissection.  I had my Left internal carotid artery aneurysm clipped. The one on the right is fusiform in shape, has an artery that feeds my right eye, and has a blister growing on top.  A stent was not safe, a coil was not safe. With a coil the  best case scenario... I go blind, worse?  dissect the artery (already have a vertebral artery dissection).  The surgeon grabbed a small piece of muslin and wrapped the aneurysm and blister that was at risk of rupturing
