Neurointerventional Radiology

Best Neuro Interventional Radiology Hospital in India | Neuro Interventional Radiology Treatment | Fortis Healthcare

Neuro interventional radiology is a medicine speciality that uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat various disorders of the brain, spine, and neck. It involves the use of advanced imaging devices such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and angiography to guide the insertion of tiny catheters, wires, stents, coils, and other devices through the blood vessels to reach the target area. These devices can deliver drugs, block blood flow, open narrow or blocked vessels, or remove clots or foreign bodies. Neuro interventional radiology can offer many benefits over traditional surgery, such as less pain, shorter recovery time, lower risk of infection, and less damage to surrounding tissues.

Some of the problems that can be fixed by neuro interventional radiology are:

• Stroke, which happens when the blood flow to a part of the brain is stopped by a clot or plaque (a fatty substance)
• Brain aneurysm, which is a weak spot in a blood vessel in the brain that can burst and cause bleeding
• Brain and spinal AVMs, which are abnormal connections between arteries and veins that can cause bleeding, seizures, headaches, or nerve problems
• Carotid stenosis, which is when the main blood vessels that carry blood to the brain become narrow or blocked
• Skull base tumors, which are growths at the bottom of the skull, near the brain and important nerves
• CCFs, which are abnormal connections between the main artery and a large vein behind the eye that can cause eye problems
• DAVFs, which are abnormal connections between an artery and a vein in the covering of the brain or spine that can cause bleeding, swelling, or nerve problems
• Extracranial atherosclerosis, which is when the blood vessels that carry blood to the head and neck become narrow or blocked
• Extracranial and paraspinal vascular malformations, which are abnormal clusters of blood vessels that can cause pain, bleeding, or pressure on nearby structures

Best Neuro Interventional Radiology Hospital in India

Fortis Healthcare is one of the best neuro interventional radiology hospitals in India, with a team of highly qualified and experienced neuro interventional radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, anaesthesiologists, nurses, and technicians. Fortis Healthcare has state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to perform all kinds of neuro interventional procedures, such as:

• Brain aneurysm coiling: A brain aneurysm is a bulge or weakness in a blood vessel in the brain that can rupture and cause bleeding. Coiling is a procedure that involves inserting a thin tube (catheter) into the aneurysm and filling it with tiny metal coils that form a mesh and prevent blood from entering the aneurysm. This reduces the risk of rupture and bleeding.
• Brain and spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) embolization: An AVM is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins that can cause bleeding, seizures, headaches, or neurological deficits. Embolization is a procedure that involves injecting a glue-like substance or particles into the AVM to block the blood flow and shrink the AVM. This lowers the risk of bleeding and makes the symptoms better.
• Treatment of brain and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF): A DAVF is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein in the covering of the brain or spine (dura) that can cause bleeding, swelling, or neurological deficits. Treatment of DAVF involves inserting a catheter into the fistula and injecting a glue-like substance or coils to close the fistula and restore normal blood flow.
• Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS): The carotid arteries are the main blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. Sometimes, these arteries can become narrowed or blocked by plaque (a fatty substance) or clots, which can reduce the blood flow to the brain and cause a stroke. CAS is a procedure that involves inserting a balloon-tipped catheter into the carotid artery and inflating it to widen the artery. A metal mesh tube (stent) is then placed in the artery to keep it open and prevent it from narrowing again.
• Skull base tumors (SBT) pre-operative embolization: SBT are tumors that grow at the base of the skull, near the brain and vital nerves. They can cause headaches, vision problems, hearing loss, facial paralysis, or hormonal imbalances. SBT pre-operative embolization is a procedure that involves blocking the blood supply to the tumor before surgery, to reduce the blood loss and make the surgery easier and safer.
• Carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF) embolization: A CCF is an abnormal connection between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus (a large vein behind the eye) that can cause eye problems, such as bulging, redness, pain, double vision, or vision loss. CCF embolization is a procedure that involves inserting a catheter into the fistula and injecting coils or glue to close the fistula and restore normal blood flow.
• Intracranial angioplasty and stenting: Intracranial angioplasty and stenting is similar to CAS, but it is done for the blood vessels inside the brain, rather than the carotid arteries. It can be used to treat intracranial stenosis (narrowing of the brain vessels) or intracranial aneurysms (bulges in the brain vessels).
• Intra-arterial thrombolysis in acute ischemic strokes: An acute ischemic stroke is a sudden interruption of blood flow to a part of the brain, caused by a clot or plaque. It can cause permanent brain damage or death if not treated quickly. Intra-arterial thrombolysis is a procedure that involves inserting a catheter into the blocked artery and injecting a clot-busting drug to dissolve the clot and restore blood flow.
• Cerebral dural venous sinus thrombolysis: Cerebral dural venous sinus thrombolysis is similar to intra-arterial thrombolysis, but it is done for the veins that drain blood from the brain, rather than the arteries that supply blood to the brain. It can be used to treat cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (clotting of the brain veins) or cerebral venous sinus stenosis (narrowing of the brain veins).
