Devices and methods provide accurate targeting, placement, and/or stabilization of an electrode or other instrument(s) into the brain or other body organ, such as to treat severe tremor or other neurological disorders. Targeting is performed using any form of image-guidance, including real-time MRI, CT, or frameless surgical navigation systems.

This document discusses an exovascular approach to treating an aneurysm using a minimally-invasive instrument guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), or another suitable imaging device. A trajectory guide entry device assists in targeting the aneurysm and determining the proper trajectory thereto. Examples of the aneurysm treatment device include a clip, a clasp, a snare, a loop, a hook, a staple, and an electrocautery or other electrode, or any combination of such devices. The aneurysm treatment device is delivered by a probe, such as a tube or other catheter.
