Neuro Interventional Radiology (IR) procedures are advanced minimally invasive treatments used for diseases affecting the brain and blood vessels. These include Stroke Management, Carotid Artery Stenting, and Brain Aneurysm Coiling. These procedures help restore blood flow, prevent complications, and provide rapid treatment in critical neurological conditions.
Stroke management
Stroke therapy with Neuro Interventional Radiology (IR) entails minimally invasive procedures for quickly restoring blood flow to the brain during acute stroke. Using improved imaging guidance, doctors can remove or dissolve blood clots through small catheters inserted into blood vessels, reducing brain damage and improving recovery. These techniques are extremely critical in emergency stroke care because they can help prevent long-term impairment, paralysis, and other significant sequelae without requiring major surgery.
Carotid artery stenting
Carotid artery stenting is a minimally invasive neurointerventional radiology treatment that treats constriction or blockage of the carotid arteries, which feed blood to the brain. To enhance blood flow and minimize the risk of stroke, a tiny mesh tube known as a stent is put inside the artery. It is done using a tiny catheter put into the blood vessels, eliminating the need for extensive surgery. Carotid artery stenting restores adequate circulation to the brain, relieves symptoms, and allows for a faster recovery with less discomfort.
Brain aneurysmal coiling
Brain aneurysm coiling is a minimally invasive neurointerventional radiology procedure that treats weak or bulging blood arteries (aneurysms) in the brain. Tiny coils are implanted inside the aneurysm using a small catheter injected into the blood vessels, which helps to avoid rupture or hemorrhage. It is usually performed on patients who have brain aneurysms that cause headaches, bleeding, or a risk of stroke. This technique protects the brain, avoids open brain surgery, and enables speedier recovery with fewer complications.
