Brain Aneurysms: Endovascular Coiling & Flow diverters

Brain aneurysms are weak spots in brain blood vessels that can burst and cause life-threatening bleeding. Using a minimally invasive technique, we seal off the aneurysm from inside the blood vessel using coils or advanced flow-diverting stents—without the need for open surgery.

This image is from a 33 year old lady who had a large brain aneurysm who came with complaints of severe headache with problems in vision. Patient underwent Endovascular coiling and was discharged within 5 days after surgery with nil headache & remarkable recovery of visual fields & color vision.

This image is from a 55 year old female who presented with severe headache and transient weakness of both legs. She was diagnosed to have unruptured giant brain aneurysm. She was treated with Flow Diverter insertion + Endovascular coiling of the giant aneurysm. Image shows the complete occlusion of the aneurysm after the procedure.

Stroke- Paralysis of limbs: Endovascular Mechanical thrombectomy

In stroke caused by blocked brain arteries, we use a special device to remove the clot and restore blood flow within a golden time window—helping reverse paralysis and save brain function. Stroke is a life threatening emergency which needs immediate endovascular procedure without any delay.

This image is from a 31-year-old male who came with sudden paralysis of right hand & leg with speech problems. Patient underwent thrombolysis (medication to lyse the clot) and subsequently underwent endovascular mechanical removal of the clot in the blood vessel in the brain. After procedure, patient had complete recovery of power in hands & legs with complete recovery of speech. Discharged after 3 days of procedure.

Recurrent attacks of paralysis: Carotid artery stenting

Narrowing in neck arteries can cause repeated mini-strokes (TIAs). We treat it by placing a stent inside the artery to prevent future strokes—restoring blood flow safely through a small groin puncture.

This image is from a 65-year-old male who presented with repeated paralysis attacks of his right hand with numbness. He was diagnosed with left carotid critical stenosis and was successfully treated with carotid artery stenting. Patient had no repeat episodes of paralysis attack after stenting.

Brain & Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) & Dural AV Fistula: Embolization

AVM/AVFs are abnormal tangles of blood vessels that may bleed. We treat them by blocking these vessels using glue or other agents—performed through tiny tubes without brain or spine surgery.

This image is from a 38-year-old female who came to us in a critical condition with altered sensorium & poor neurological status. She was diagnosed with ruptured dural arterio-venous fistula for which we proceeded with embolization. Image shows the liquid embolic cast in the arterial feeders, nidus & venous footplate of the disease. Patient had good recovery in the post-operative period.

Pre-operative Tumor Embolization

Highly vascular tumors can bleed profusely during its surgical removal intra-operatively which can be life-threatening. In order to decrease the intra-operative blood loss, we block the tumoral blood supply prior to the surgery through a simple pinhole and aid in drastically decreasing the blood loss.

This image is from a 54-year-old female who had a large meningioma in the brain which is a tumor of the protective covering of the brain. Due to the high risk of profuse intra-operative bleeding, we embolized the tumoral blood supply 1 day prior to the surgical removal and the patient had a minimum intra-operative blood loss.
