Endovascular Neurosurgery

Endovascular Neurosurgery : A Minimally Invasive Approach to Brain & Spine Disorders

Endovascular Neurosurgery, also known as Neurointerventional Surgery or Interventional Neuroradiology (INR), is an advanced, minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat vascular conditions affecting the brain, spine, and head & neck region. It involves navigating thin catheters through blood vessels to treat complex neurological disorders without the need for open brain or spine surgery.

How Endovascular Neurosurgery Works

Using real-time imaging techniques like fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance), digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and CT angiography (CTA), a neurosurgeon inserts a catheter through a small incision, usually in the groin (femoral artery) or wrist (radial artery). This catheter is guided through the blood vessels to reach the affected area, where treatment is delivered using specialized devices like stents, coils, or embolic agents.

Conditions Treated with Endovascular Neurosurgery

🧠 Stroke & Blood Vessel Disorders

  • Ischemic Stroke: Removing blood clots using mechanical thrombectomy or dissolving them with clot-busting drugs (thrombolysis).
  • Carotid Artery Stenosis: Widening narrowed arteries with carotid artery stenting to prevent stroke.

🩸 Aneurysms & Vascular Malformations

  • Brain Aneurysms :- Treated with endovascular coiling (blocking the aneurysm with platinum coils) or flow diverter stents (redirecting blood flow to heal the aneurysm).
  • Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) :- Abnormal blood vessel connections are treated with embolization, reducing the risk of bleeding.
  • Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas (DAVFs) :- Abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain or spine are blocked to prevent neurological damage.

🦴 Spinal Cord Vascular Disorders

  • Spinal AVMs & Fistulas : Treated using embolization techniques to prevent nerve damage and paralysis.

🎗 Tumor Embolization

  • Cutting off blood supply to brain and spinal tumors before surgery, making removal safer and reducing blood loss.

Benefits of Endovascular Neurosurgery

✅ Minimally Invasive : No large incisions or skull openings.
✅ Faster Recovery : Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily life.
✅ Lower Risk of Complications : Reduced risk of infections, bleeding, and neurological damage.
✅ High Precision : Real-time imaging ensures targeted treatment with minimal impact on surrounding brain or spinal tissue.

Endovascular neurosurgery has revolutionized the treatment of complex neurovascular conditions, offering safer, faster, and more effective solutions compared to traditional open surgery.
