Neurointerventional Surgery

Overview

Neurointerventional surgery is a specialized field that uses minimally invasive techniques to treat conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system. These procedures offer alternatives to traditional open surgery and help manage a variety of complex neurological conditions.

This field combines neurosurgery, radiology, and interventional procedures to provide effective treatment for conditions like brain aneurysms, strokes, spinal disorders, and vascular malformations.

What is Neurointerventional Surgery?

Neurointerventional surgery involves using advanced imaging technology, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, to guide the physician in performing precise procedures within the brain and spinal cord without the need for large incisions.

Key procedures in neurointerventional surgery include:

  • Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: A minimally invasive procedure to treat brain aneurysms by placing coils or stents inside the blood vessels.
  • Carotid Artery Stenting: A procedure to clear blockages in the carotid arteries and reduce the risk of stroke.
  • Spinal Biopsy: A minimally invasive procedure to remove tissue from the spine to diagnose various conditions.
  • Embolization: The process of blocking abnormal blood vessels, such as those associated with tumors or malformations.
  • Brain Tumor Ablation: Using a catheter and imaging techniques to deliver treatments directly to the tumor to reduce its size.
  • Vascular Malformation Treatment: Procedures that treat abnormal connections between blood vessels in the brain or spine.

When is Neurointerventional Surgery Needed?

Neurointerventional surgery is often required for patients suffering from neurological conditions that are difficult to treat with traditional surgery. Some common indications include:

  • Brain Aneurysms: A balloon-like bulge in a blood vessel in the brain that can potentially rupture and lead to severe complications.
  • Stroke: If a stroke is caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain, neurointerventional procedures can restore blood flow and reduce the severity of the stroke.
  • Spinal Disorders: Conditions like spinal stenosis or tumors that cause compression of the spinal cord may require minimally invasive interventions to alleviate symptoms.
  • Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain that may cause bleeding or neurological deficits.
  • Vascular Malformations in the Spine: Abnormal blood vessel formations that can lead to pain or neurological damage may benefit from embolization or other treatments.
  • Intracranial Hemorrhage: Bleeding within the brain that may require neurointerventional procedures to stop the bleeding and improve patient outcomes.

Neurointerventional surgery allows patients to recover faster and with fewer risks compared to traditional open surgery, offering targeted treatment for a range of neurological disorders.
