General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms Schedules Aneurysm Coiling in Next Two Weeks

Doctors found the aneurysm in January during monitoring after her 2021 brain cyst operation.

Overview

  • Storms disclosed the plan on Instagram, saying she will undergo a minimally invasive endovascular coiling intended to block blood flow and lower rupture risk.
  • She underwent a diagnostic catheter procedure in January that threaded a camera from her leg to her brain, but the aneurysm was not coiled then due to a slightly complex presentation.
  • The actress is on leave from General Hospital after relocating to Nashville, with her role of Maxie temporarily filled by Nicole Paggi.
  • She refuted an online claim that her January hospital stay was tied to a suicide attempt, calling the rumor false.
  • Storms, 41, says she is leaning on close friend and former co-star Emme Rylan for support and has previously suggested she could return to the show as early as November or December.
