Upon arrival at Ichilov Hospital she entered Interventional Brain, where the medical team led by Dr. Shimon Maimon, director of the invasive Neurology department, and Dr. Tali Jonas - Kimchi, director of the Neuro- Radiological department managed to close the source of bleeding.

During the operation, a thin catheter is inserted in the aneurysm location, and with special medical adhesive which blocked the continued blood flow into the brain. The unique action took place without complications, and in recent hours she had further surgery to remove blood stored due to the bleeding, which should relieve the pressure on the brain.
