'General Hospital' Star Kirsten Storms Says Brain Aneurysm Coiling Set Within Two Weeks

The procedure follows a January scan that found a right-side aneurysm during follow-up care after her 2021 brain surgery.

Overview

  • Storms remains on leave from General Hospital after relocating from Los Angeles to Nashville to reduce stress and prioritize her health.
  • In January, she underwent a catheter-based imaging procedure from her leg to her brain, but doctors did not coil the aneurysm then due to a slightly atypical configuration.
  • Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive technique that blocks blood flow into an aneurysm to reduce the risk of rupture, according to medical guidance.
  • She is staying with friend and former co-star Emme Rylan and says they are crocheting sweaters as she awaits a finalized surgery date.
  • Storms publicly rejected an online claim that her earlier hospitalization was a suicide attempt, describing the rumor as fabricated.
