Neurosurgery Patient Stories

Our patients are happy to share their stories about lifesaving neurosurgery at EvergreenHealth.

(multiple brain aneurysms) Marianne Koester’s aneurysms were deemed high-risk: if they ruptured, it could lead to a stroke. Instead of brain surgery, the aneurysms were treated with a minimally invasive procedure.
