Absolutely, the answer is yes. There are now multiple different ways to fix a brain aneurysm. You should consult with a neurosurgeon who uses both interventional (non-craniotomy) and conventional methods (craniotomy and clipping of the aneurysm. The decision is based on the exact anatomy of your aneurysm. If you have access to a University-based neurosurgical team, that is usually your best option.
Yes it can be clipped surgically or coiled with endovascular techniques
