Undiagnosed Aneurysm

Pursue a Medical Malpractice Claim in Lexington, KY

An aneurysm is when the artery junction becomes weak and these weak spots create a ballooning of blood vessels. When a brain aneurysm ruptures there is a high incidence of death. 10% of patients with a ruptured aneurysm die before they are able to receive life-sustaining medical care. Additionally, if a medical professional improperly treats or allows the aneurysm to go untreated, statistics show that more than 50% of those patients will die within a month. In addition to the bleeding issues, there is a major risk of the artery spasm resulting in a stroke.
