Endovascular Neurosurgery

Overview

Endovascular Neurosurgery, also known as neurointerventional surgery, is a minimally invasive approach to treat vascular diseases of the central nervous system. This specialty employs techniques that access blood vessels through a catheter, allowing for the treatment of aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), stroke, and other cerebrovascular conditions without the need for open surgery. It offers patients shorter recovery times, reduced risks, and often, better outcomes compared to traditional surgery.

Endovascular Neurosurgery
Our approach to care

Imaging tests, including digital subtraction angiography (DSA), MRI, and CT angiography, will be performed to visualize the blood vessels and identify abnormalities. A detailed review of your symptoms and medical history will help determine the most appropriate endovascular treatment options. Functional imaging tests may be conducted to assess the impact of vascular issues on brain activity and function.

Endovascular coiling, embolization, or stenting for managing aneurysms, AVMs, and stenosis, tailored to your specific condition. Acute interventions such as thrombectomy for stroke, offering a potential for significant recovery if done promptly. Pre-operative embolization to minimize bleeding risk for patients undergoing subsequent surgical procedures.

Routine imaging follow-ups will be scheduled to monitor the treated vascular lesion and ensure stability or improvement. Lifestyle changes and medication may be recommended to manage risk factors for vascular disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Physical therapy and rehabilitation services might be necessary to support recovery from neurological deficits resulting from the vascular condition.

A comprehensive assessment of your condition will be conducted, including a physical examination and review of your medical history. Diagnostic and functional imaging studies will be explained and scheduled to determine the best course of action. Treatment options will be discussed in detail, focusing on the benefits and risks of endovascular procedures. Post-treatment care and follow-up plans will be outlined to ensure you understand the recovery process and long-term management. Supportive care and resources will be provided to help you navigate the treatment and recovery journey with confidence.
