What is Endovascular Neurosurgery?
Endovascular neurosurgery involves passing small filters through an artery in the groin or wrist and into the blood vessels of the brain. Once they have reached the brain, our endovascular neurosurgeons can use a series of devices to repair problems in the arteries and veins of the head.
Advantage of Neuroendovascular Surgery:
Neuroendovascular Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach, which is used to diagnose, remove or correct vascular, cerebral and spinal injuries, using the circulatory system as the pathway.
- No craniotomy is required
- Less chance of infection
- Less blood loss
- Less likelihood of intraoperative and postoperative complications
- Shorter hospital stay
- Performed with conscious sedation (in most cases)
- It is possible to reach places inaccessible to the brain by conventional means
- Treatments for Children and Adults
