Can a tiny coil save my brain? Robyn’s Story

Robyn is an avid surfer, a sport she intended to enjoy in the years ahead.
When the faint “whooshing” sound in her left ear grows slowly louder, she consults with neurologist Dr. Ryan Viets. His shocking diagnosis is a brain abnormality called a dural arteriovenous fistula, which typically occurs later in life. The danger is loss of cognitive function or even death.
Dr. Viets advises an interventional neuroradiology procedure at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa, California. He will use advanced minimally invasive technology to implant a tiny coil in Robyn’s brain. Together, they agree to move forward with her best hope for a normal life and a return to the sport she loves.
