What is Endovascular/Interventional Neurosurgery?

Endovascular/interventional neurosurgery is a specialized field that involves treating vascular disorders of the brain and spine using minimally invasive techniques. This approach utilizes catheters and other small instruments navigated through the blood vessels to reach the affected area, often resulting in reduced recovery times, less pain, and lower risk of complications than traditional open surgery.

Conditions Treated

Our endovascular/interventional neurosurgery team at Shalby Hospitals treats a wide array of conditions, including but not limited to:

• Cerebral Aneurysms: Treating aneurysms through techniques such as coiling and flow diversion to prevent rupture.
• Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Minimally invasive procedures to correct abnormal blood vessel connections.
• Carotid Artery Stenosis: Stenting and angioplasty to prevent strokes.
• Acute Ischemic Stroke: Utilizing thrombectomy to remove clots and restore blood flow to the brain.
• Intracranial Stenosis: Angioplasty and stenting for narrowed brain arteries.
• Spinal Vascular Malformations: Treatment of abnormal blood vessels in the spine.
• Chronic Subdural Hematomas: Minimally invasive techniques to drain accumulated blood and reduce pressure on the brain.
• Facial Vascular Malformations :
  Our Advanced Techniques
  Shalby Hospitals employs a variety of advanced techniques to ensure precise and effective treatment:
• Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA): High-resolution imaging to visualize blood vessels.
• Embolization: Blocking abnormal blood vessels or bleeding using coils, glue, or other agents.
• Thrombolysis: Dissolving blood clots using medication.
• Balloon Angioplasty: Widening narrowed arteries using a balloon catheter.
• Stent Placement: Inserting a stent to keep arteries open.
• Mechanical Thrombectomy: Removing clots from blood vessels to treat stroke.
