2. What is Endovascular Neurosurgery?
Endovascular
neurosurgery is a
subspecialty within
neurosurgery. It uses
catheters and radiology
to diagnose and treat
various conditions and
diseases of the central
nervous system. The
central nervous system is
made up of the brain and
the spinal cord.
3. Type of Endovascular Neurosurgery Procedures Performed
by Specialists
Thrombolytic Therapy
Endovascular Coiling
Cerebral Angiography
Carotid Artery
Angioplasty/Stenting
5. Endovascular Coiling
Neurosurgeons will insert a
very thin metallic wire which
forms a coil inside brain
aneurysm so as to block the
blood flow. Brain aneurysm is
basically a bulging in the
weakened area of the artery
wall inside the brain which
results in ballooning or
abnormal widening. Since this
artery wall is having a
weakened spot, this aneurysm
is at risk of bursting in case
blood flow is not blocked. In
such a situation, aneurysm
can be effectively treated by
clipping or coiling it closed.
6. Minimally Invasive Spine
Surgery
This is a technique
which is commonly
used to treat spinal
disorders like
compressed nerves,
tumors, fractures &
many other
conditions which
put pressure on the
spinal cord.
7. This is a radiology
treatment procedure
which takes a look as to
how blood is flowing
within the brain.
Cerebral Angiography
8. Carotid Artery Angioplasty/Stenting
This endovascular
neurosurgery
procedure uses a
small balloon
and/or a tiny
scaffold known as a
stent in order to
open narrowed
carotid artery.
Carotid artery is
basically
responsible for
supplying blood to
brain.
