Endovascular Neurosurgery is treatment
from the inside of the blood vessels. Traditionally a neurosurgeon has had to
open up the skull or neck to see the outside of the blood vessels - a modern
alternative has been to approach the vessels with tubes (or
"catheters") often gaining entry to the blood vessels from the top of
the leg.
The treatment is guided by the appearance
of X-ray dye injected directly into the blood vessels - to produce an Angiogram.
Endovascular treatment options are
appropriate for many different conditions affecting the brain and spine.
The most common
conditions treated include:
Cerebral aneurysms
·
This
includes ruptured or unruptured brain aneurysms. When an aneurysm ruptures, it
causes a hemorrhage at the base of the brain. It is fatal in about 30 percent
of cases. People who survive an aneurysm and brain hemorrhage must seek medical
attention immediately to prevent a second potentially life-threatening
re-rupture of the aneurysm.
Cerebral AVMs
·
Cerebral
arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a collection of tangled blood vessels. It
may be present at birth or develop over time. Symptoms may include headache,
dizziness or seizures. Once found, AVMs can usually be treated. There is risk
of one of the blood vessels rupturing, causing a brain hemorrhage.
Extracranial and
intracranial stenosis
·
Extracranial
(outside the cranium, which houses the brain) and intracranial (within the
brain) stenosis happens when arteries become blocked. This may increase your
risk of stroke.
How Does Endovascular Neurosurgery Work?
During the procedure, one of our endovascular
neurosurgeons inserts a tiny tube called a catheter into a large blood vessel,
usually in the leg, and maneuvers it to the site to be treated. Then, the
surgeon uses special tools and devices through the tube to reopen a clogged
vessel, or re-line or seal off a vessel. The surgeon uses X-rays to see where
the catheter and devices are located during the surgery.
Our surgeons also use interventional neuroradiology
techniques to perform diagnostic procedures, including cerebral angiography to
find blockages in the blood vessels of the head and neck.
What are the Benefits of
Endovascular Neurosurgery?
Endovascular procedures are minimally invasive;
they involve a small site where the catheter goes in, instead of a large site
where the body is opened and exposed. As a result, endovascular surgeries
typically involve less risk and faster recovery than open brain surgery.
- Indian doctors are known all over the world for their skill and knowledge and have the experience of studying and working at the best neuro surgery hospitals in the world.
- Neurosurgery Hospitals in India are equipped with the latest and high end technology.
- Advanced Dyna CT capability enhances the ability of Endovascular surgeon to perform most accurately in delicate vascular areas like brain
- Minimal incision similar to cardiac treatment, such as angioplasty or stent placement
- Diagnostic (Cerebral or Spinal Angiography) or Therapeutic procedures for Intracranial Aneurysms, Arterial Stenosis, Stroke (Brain attack), Arteriovenous Malformations, Vertebroplasty and Percutaneous Sclerotherapy
