I have a relative who passed out from high blood pressure leading to a ruptured aneurysm. She has blood in the brain. She's in a coma.?

The doctors claim there's nothing they can do, but there are cases of people who recover from this with surgery and other methods. The doctors say they can't do surgery because it's extremely risky. Is there any way of removing the blood in the brain without surgery? Any POSSIBLE way my relative can recover?

Update:

She doesn't have any blood clots yet. The blood is just in the brain. It's putting pressure on her brain. The doctors put her on ventilator/oxygen machine and are monitoring her. 

Update 2:

The doctors say that there's nowhere for the blood to go. It's just staying in her brain.

    First, I am not a physician but I have learned a lot from my spouse-physician.  Is it a blood clot or just blood?  If a clot, they probably put her on a blood thinner to thin it.  Clots don't go away and if they are moved, it could kill her instantly (probably why they won't do surgery).  If it just blood, without a clot, then it may have to clear out on its own, over time.  Why don't you ask the spouse of the person and you will find out exactly?

    A shunt? Not sure though. Not a doc. Prayers. Second opinion

    Some medication to make capillaries elastic and miraculously evade the aneurysm, would do the trick, if you keep your fingers crossed and pray.
