Peripheral Artery Embolization Treatment in India
About Peripheral Artery Embolization
Key Highlights
-
Minimally invasive procedure with no large surgical incision required.Precise, targeted treatment using real-time imaging guidance.Often performed under local anesthesia with sedation, reducing general anesthesia risks.Typically results in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery compared to open surgery.Highly effective for controlling bleeding or reducing blood flow to specific problematic vessels.Can be a curative or preparatory treatment for complex neurovascular conditions./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Treatment of cerebral aneurysms (ruptured or unruptured) to prevent bleeding.
- Management of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) or fistulas in the brain or spine.
- Pre-operative embolization of vascular tumors (e.g., meningiomas) to reduce bleeding risk during surgical removal.
- Control of acute or chronic epistaxis (nosebleeds) originating from deeper arteries.
- Treatment of certain traumatic vascular injuries in the head or neck region.
- Management of selected cases of hemangiomas or other vascular lesions.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive neurovascular imaging, such as angiography, CT angiography, or MR angiography, to map the blood vessels.
- Review of medical history, allergies (especially to contrast dye), and current medications.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as directed by the neurosurgeon.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure, typically overnight.
- Pre-procedure blood tests to check clotting function and kidney health.
- Discussion of anesthesia options and informed consent process.
Risks & possible complications
- Reaction to contrast dye, including allergy or kidney impairment.
- Bleeding, infection, or pain at the catheter insertion site in the groin.
- Risk of stroke if the embolic material blocks a healthy, unintended artery.
- Nerve injury or damage to surrounding tissue.
- Incomplete embolization, requiring a repeat procedure.
- Rare complications like vessel perforation or rupture.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial recovery in a monitored setting for several hours; pressure is applied to the groin site to prevent bleeding.
- Patients are advised to lie flat and keep the access leg straight for 4-6 hours.
- Hospital stay is usually for observation, with discharge often within 1-2 days if no complications arise.
- Mild pain or bruising at the puncture site is common and manageable with medication.
- Avoidance of strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and driving for the first week.
- Follow-up imaging (like an MRI or angiography) is scheduled to confirm the success of the embolization.

At my age, you worry about...
At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Narayanamurthy never made me feel that way. He explained my medication changes slowly, and his manner was very calming. The clinic at MGM was busy, but he took his time.
