What is Endovascular Neurosurgery?

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.

Thrombolytic Therapy
This endovascular neurosurgery procedure utilizes
clot-busting medications to dissolve clots
within blood vessels in brain or within blood
vessels elsewhere in the body.
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.

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
Cerebral Angiography
This is a radiology treatment procedure
which takes a look as to how blood is flowing
within the brain.
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.
