Patient discussion about hemostat.
Q. Can I have a MRI of the knee if I have hemostatic clips in the brain?(also called aneurysm clips)?
A. my grandma had the same problem- they said no... but from a good reason. think of it, it's a giant and powerful magnet. you have metallic clips that hold an aneurysm in the brain. if it'll move and tear up the blood vessels- your knee will be the least of your problems.
sorry...
