About Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional Neuroradiology, also known as Neurointerventional Surgery or Endovascular Neurosurgery, is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive medical specialty. A highly trained Neuroradiologist uses real-time X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy) to guide tiny catheters and instruments through the body's blood vessels to diagnose and treat complex conditions of the brain, head, neck, and spine. This approach avoids the need for open surgery, leading to smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery. Common procedures include treating brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), acute stroke with thrombectomy, and spinal fractures with vertebroplasty. It represents a fusion of advanced imaging technology and precise therapeutic techniques to manage neurological disorders with remarkable precision.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive approach with no large surgical incisions.Performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation in many cases.Utilizes real-time imaging for unparalleled precision and accuracy.Typically results in less pain, lower risk of infection, and minimal scarring.Often leads to a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery compared to open surgery.Highly effective for treating acute ischemic stroke by mechanically removing clots.liCan treat complex vascular lesions in the brain and spine that are difficult to access surgically./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

Cerebral Aneurysms (unruptured or ruptured causing subarachnoid hemorrhage).
Acute Ischemic Stroke (large vessel occlusion) requiring mechanical thrombectomy.
Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) and Fistulas in the brain or spine.
Carotid Artery Stenosis (narrowing) requiring angioplasty and stenting.
Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease causing stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
Epistaxis (severe nosebleeds) or tumor bleeding that is uncontrollable by other means.
Vertebral Compression Fractures treated with vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty.
Pre-operative tumor embolization to reduce blood loss during surgery.

How to prepare

Comprehensive consultation with the neuroradiologist to discuss the procedure, benefits, and risks.
Pre-procedure blood tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), and imaging studies (like CTA or MRA).
Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelets), which may need to be adjusted.
Informing the doctor of any allergies, particularly to iodine contrast dye.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure, typically after midnight.
Arranging for someone to drive the patient home after discharge.
Signing informed consent forms after all questions are answered.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding or hematoma at the catheter insertion site in the groin or wrist.
Allergic reaction to the contrast dye used during imaging.
Damage to the blood vessel (dissection or perforation).
Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) from clot dislodgement or vessel injury.
Kidney injury from contrast dye, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney problems.
Infection, though the risk is lower than with open surgery.
Failure to completely treat the target condition, which may require additional procedures.
Radiation exposure from fluoroscopy, though kept to a minimum.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial recovery in a monitored setting for several hours to watch for complications.
Pressure is applied to the catheter insertion site to prevent bleeding; bed rest is required for a few hours.
Vital signs, neurological checks, and the puncture site are monitored closely.
Increased fluid intake is encouraged to help flush contrast dye from the kidneys.
Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and driving for a period specified by the doctor.
Follow-up appointments are crucial for imaging to confirm the success of the treatment.
Any new symptoms like severe headache, weakness, vision changes, or bleeding must be reported immediately.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
Expected recovery time: 1-4 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

Ishaan Bhatia, a 32-year-old software engineer...

Ishaan Bhatia, a 32-year-old software engineer and avid rock climber, began experiencing sudden, excruciating headaches and episodes of blurred vision. An MRI revealed a small, berry-like bulge on an artery in his brain, an unruptured cerebral aneurysm. His neuroradiologist, Dr. Chen, explained that while it hadn't bled, its location and Ishaan's active lifestyle posed a significant risk. She recommended a minimally invasive endovascular coiling procedure to fill the aneurysm with tiny platinum coils, preventing rupture. During the procedure, Ishaan was under conscious sedation, feeling pressure but no pain as Dr. Chen navigated a microcatheter through his arteries. Post-procedure, he spent one night in the Neuro-ICU for monitoring and was discharged home after two days with mild groin soreness. A follow-up angiogram showed successful occlusion of the aneurysm. Emotionally, Ishaan was terrified by the 'ticking time bomb' in his head and feared losing his independence. After the successful procedure, he felt profound relief and gratitude, cautiously optimistic about returning to his passions with a new appreciation for his health.
