Introduction to Endovascular Neurosurgery
Endovascular neurosurgery is a subspecialty within neurosurgery. It uses catheters and radiology to diagnose and treat various brain disease.
The term endovascular means “inside a blood vessel.” Endovascular neurosurgery uses tools that pass through the blood vessels to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions rather than using open surgery.
Endovascular Neurosurgery Procedures
Endovascular Coiling:
A surgeon inserts a very thin metal wire that forms a coil inside a brain aneurysm to block blood flow. A brain aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of an artery in the brain. This results in an abnormal widening or ballooning. Because the artery wall has a weakened spot, the aneurysm is at risk for bursting if blood flow isn’t blocked. Aneurysm can be treated by coiling or clipping it closed.
Minimally invasive spine surgery:
This procedure is used to treat spinal disorders. These include fractures, tumors, compressed nerves, and other conditions that put pressure on the spinal cord.
Thrombolytic therapy:
This procedure uses “clot-busting” medicine to dissolve a clot in a blood vessel in the brain or elsewhere in the body.
Cerebral angiography:
This is a radiology procedure that looks at how blood is flowing in the brain.
