Neuroendovascular surgery is a highly specialized, minimally invasive procedure used to treat brain and spinal vascular conditions. These conditions include aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), stroke, and other blood vessel disorders that affect the brain and spine.
This modern surgical technique involves the use of catheters, stents, coils, and other advanced tools to access blood vessels through small incisions in the arteries. Using advanced imaging technologies, our surgeons can precisely treat vascular conditions without the need for open surgery, reducing the risks and recovery time associated with traditional procedures.
Conditions Treated with Neuroendovascular Surgery
- Brain Aneurysms : Abnormal bulging of blood vessels in the brain that can be life-threatening if ruptured.
- Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) :Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Abnormal tangles of blood vessels that can lead to bleeding in the brain or spinal cord.
- Stroke : Treatment for both ischemic stroke (caused by blood clots) and hemorrhagic stroke (caused by bleeding in the brain).
- Brain and Spinal Vascular Malformations : Includes conditions like cavernous malformations and dural arteriovenous fistulas.
- Carotid Artery Disease : Narrowing of arteries leading to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke.
Benefits of Neuroendovascular Surgery
- Minimally Invasive : Smaller incisions mean less disruption to surrounding tissues, resulting in faster recovery and less pain after the procedure.
- Reduced Risk of Infection : Compared to traditional open surgery, neuroendovascular techniques significantly reduce the risk of infection.
- Faster Recovery : Since the procedure is minimally invasive, most patients experience a shorter hospital stay and can return to their normal activities quicker.
- Precision and Accuracy : Advanced imaging technologies, such as angiography, allow the surgeon to see the exact location of the problem, leading to more accurate treatment.
- Fewer Complications : Neuroendovascular procedures are associated with a lower risk of complications, such as bleeding and scarring, compared to traditional open surgery.
How Neuroendovascular Surgery Works
Neuroendovascular surgery is performed by making a small incision in the groin or arm where a catheter is inserted into the artery. The catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the affected area using real-time imaging (such as CT scans, MRI, or angiograms). Once the catheter reaches the target area, the surgeon can treat the vascular condition by using devices like:
- Coils to block off aneurysms.
- Stents to support blood vessels and prevent collapse.
- Embolization agents to block abnormal blood vessels
- Balloon angioplasty to open up blocked blood vessels.
