A hemorrhagic stroke, or what is also called a ruptured brain aneurysm, occurs when the walls of blood vessels are weakened, resulting in a bloodfilled bulge. If left untreated, the aneurysm may rupture, causing a hemorrhagic stroke. Immediate and specialized treatment is a key element to minimize the damage, and survival depends on the expertise and speed with which a patient is treated.

The Stroke Team at BarnesJewish Hospital knows that time is critical, which is why they have honed treatment down to the second. They treat every stroke patient individually as no two aneurysms are the same, and each patient receives unique treatment based on their symptoms. The specialized critical care unit assigns a team to each patient and supervises the progress to help improve overall outcome.
