Neuro Interventions

Neurointerventions refer to minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These procedures are often guided by imaging technologies like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans.

Symptoms We Treat

Causes

Neurovascular conditions like aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), or stroke.

Risks

The major risks involved in these procedures are bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding nerves or vessels.

ProcedureS

Embolisation


Blocking abnormal blood vessels, such as in AVMs or aneurysms.

Thrombectomy


Removing a clot from a blood vessel in the brain during a stroke.

Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty

This process involves stabilizing fractured vertebrae for recovery.

Treatment Options

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Focused radiation treatment for brain tumors, or AVMs.

Microsurgical Techniques

Where precision is required, and less invasive methods are not possible.

Endovascular Treatment

It involves the use of catheters and guidewires to treat conditions from within the blood vessels.

post Procedure Recovery

Patients typically experience a shorter recovery time, often going home within 24 to 48 hours. Full recovery may take a few weeks, during which patients should avoid strenuous.

Success rate

The success rate of neurointerventions varies depending on the condition being treated but is generally high. For example, the success rate for treating brain aneurysms.

Are neurointerventions painful?

Most procedures are minimally invasive and involve little discomfort. Local anesthesia is usually sufficient.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients recover within a few weeks, with minimal restrictions on daily activities.

Are there any long-term effects?

Long-term effects are rare but may include minor nerve irritation or recurrence of the treated condition.
