Neurovascular Intervention Treatment in India
About Neurovascular Intervention
Key Highlights
-
Minimally Invasive: Performed through a small puncture, avoiding the need for open skull surgery (craniotomy).Precision Treatment: Allows direct access to affected brain or spinal cord vessels with real-time imaging guidance.Rapid Stroke Treatment: Mechanical thrombectomy can quickly restore blood flow during an acute ischemic stroke, significantly improving outcomes.listrongShorter Hospital Stay & Recovery:/strong Typically involves less post-procedure pain and a faster return to normal activities compared to traditional surgery./lilistrongReduced Risk Profile:/strong Generally carries lower risks of infection and major bleeding than open neurosurgical procedures./li/ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Acute Ischemic Stroke: To perform mechanical thrombectomy and remove a large blood clot blocking a major brain artery.
- Cerebral Aneurysm: To treat an unruptured or ruptured brain aneurysm using techniques like coiling, stenting, or flow diversion.
- Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) or Fistula: To embolize (block) abnormal tangles or connections between arteries and veins in the brain or spine.
- Symptomatic Carotid or Vertebral Artery Stenosis: To place a stent or perform angioplasty for severe narrowing of neck arteries supplying the brain.
- Vasospasm: To administer medication or perform angioplasty to treat narrowed brain arteries following a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- Diagnostic Angiography: To obtain detailed images of brain or spinal cord vasculature when non-invasive tests are inconclusive.
How to prepare
- Medical Evaluation: Comprehensive assessment including neurological exam, blood tests, and imaging (CT, MRI, or angiography).
- Medication Review: Adjustment or cessation of blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelets) as directed by the neurologist.
- Fasting: Typically required for 6-8 hours before the procedure to prevent aspiration risks during sedation.
- Informed Consent: Detailed discussion of the procedure's goals, benefits, risks, and alternatives.
- Access Site Preparation: The groin or wrist area will be shaved and cleaned to minimize infection risk.
- Intravenous (IV) Line: Placement of an IV for administering fluids, sedation, and contrast dye.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding or Hematoma: At the catheter insertion site or, rarely, within the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage).
- Stroke or TIA: Risk of new or worsening stroke symptoms due to clot dislodgement or vessel injury.
- Allergic Reaction: To the contrast dye used during imaging.
- Vessel Damage: Dissection (tear) or perforation of the artery being treated.
- Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: Temporary kidney impairment from the contrast dye.
- Infection: At the puncture site, though uncommon.
- Aneurysm Recurrence or Rupture: Particularly with endovascular coiling procedures.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Procedure: Monitoring in a recovery area or ICU for several hours; pressure may be applied to the access site to prevent bleeding.
- Hospital Stay: Typically 1-3 days for monitoring neurological status and managing any pain or nausea.
- Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and driving for 1-2 weeks as advised. The puncture site must be kept clean and dry.
- Medication: Strict adherence to prescribed medications, which may include antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel) to prevent clotting.
- Follow-up: Scheduled appointments with the neurologist for wound check, neurological assessment, and imaging follow-up (e.g., angiography, MRI) to monitor treatment success.
- Symptom Monitoring: Patients should immediately report any new or worsening symptoms like severe headache, weakness, vision changes, or bleeding at the access site.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
