Doctors Use Medical Grade Crazy Glue to Help Repair Brain Aneurysms

KMGH: Doctors have a new way to fill aneurysms: onyx, a thick black substance that turns solid when exposed to blood. Onyx is injected into the brain through a catheter threaded from an artery in the leg up into the brain. It is an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer that was approved by the FDA in late 2007. “Our goal is to seal that aneurysm shut,” Dr. Razack said.
