Intra Arterial Vasodilatation Treatment in India
About Intra Arterial Vasodilatation
Key Highlights
-
Minimally invasive procedure with a small access point, often in the groin.Direct, targeted delivery of medication to the affected brain arteries.Can rapidly reverse dangerous vasospasm and restore blood flow.Helps prevent secondary ischemic stroke and permanent neurological deficits.Performed by a specialized neurosurgeon or neuro-interventionalist.Often a critical, life-saving intervention following a brain hemorrhage./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Cerebral vasospasm following a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), typically from a ruptured aneurysm.
- Symptomatic vasospasm causing new neurological deficits like weakness, confusion, or speech difficulties.
- Vasospasm identified on imaging studies (like Transcranial Doppler or CT angiography) that is refractory to standard medical management.
- To prevent delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in high-risk patients.
How to prepare
- Thorough neurological assessment and monitoring for signs of vasospasm.
- Diagnostic imaging such as CT angiography or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to confirm and locate the vasospasm.
- Pre-procedure blood tests to check clotting function and kidney health.
- Patient and family counseling about the procedure's risks, benefits, and goals.
- Fasting for several hours before the procedure as directed.
- Establishment of intravenous (IV) lines for fluids and medications.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding or hematoma at the catheter insertion site in the groin.
- Infection at the access site or systemically.
- Allergic reaction to the contrast dye or vasodilator medication.
- Inadvertent damage to the blood vessel (dissection or perforation).
- Blood clot formation or stroke.
- Transient or permanent worsening of neurological symptoms.
- Kidney injury from contrast dye (contrast-induced nephropathy).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate post-procedure monitoring in a Neuro-ICU or high-dependency unit.
- Strict bed rest for several hours to prevent bleeding from the access site.
- Close monitoring of vital signs, neurological status, and the groin puncture site.
- Continued medical management for underlying conditions (e.g., blood pressure control).
- Gradual mobilization as permitted by the medical team.
- Follow-up imaging may be required to assess vessel response.
- Participation in neuro-rehabilitation programs if neurological deficits persist.
-
Typical hospital stay:
7-14 days (typically part of a longer stay for the initial hemorrhage)
-
Expected recovery time:
Highly variable; initial hospitalization is critical, with full neurological recovery taking weeks to months

Vikram Ali, a 42-year-old construction site...
Vikram Ali, a 42-year-old construction site foreman, suffered a traumatic brain injury from a fall at work. While recovering, he developed new, worsening headaches and lethargy. A follow-up scan showed delayed cerebral ischemia due to vasospasm, threatening his recovery. His neurosurgeon explained that Intra Arterial Vasodilatation was needed to improve blood flow to oxygen-starved parts of his brain and salvage his cognitive function. Vikram, worried about providing for his family, agreed. The procedure was performed successfully, targeting multiple constricted vessels. In recovery, his alertness improved significantly over the next 48 hours, allowing him to participate more actively in his rehabilitation. The outcome was a pivotal turn in his long recovery, preventing further cognitive decline. Emotionally, Vikram moved from a state of frustrated helplessness and fear about his future employability to one of renewed hope and determination, seeing the procedure as the critical intervention that put his recovery back on track.
