“The most noteworthy health incident that Vice President Biden has experienced was his intracranial hemorrhage from a cerebral aneurysm in 1988. His aneurysm was repaired surgically,” wrote Dr. Kevin O’Connor, an associate professor of medicine and the director of executive medicine at George Washington University, who treated Biden at the time.
“During this workup, his team discovered a second aneurysm, which had not bled. This was also treated. He has never had any recurrences of any aneurysms.
I do not believe the technology existed to repair cerebral aneurysms when Joe’s ruptured. During that time frame they were clipped. Joe has atrial fibrillation. Cerebral aneurysm clipping, atrial fibrillation and advanced age are risk factors for dementia.
