Specialties & Procedures

 

. Brain Aneurysm Treatment

A brain aneurysm is a weakened area in a blood vessel that can rupture and cause serious bleeding.

When is treatment needed?

• When an aneurysm is detected before rupture
• After a brain hemorrhage
• When there is a high risk of future rupture

Impact on the patient:

Catheter-based treatment helps secure the aneurysm and prevent bleeding, significantly reducing life-threatening risks while preserving brain function.

 

. Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Treatment

AVM is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain, disrupting normal blood flow.

When is intervention required?

• Presence of symptoms such as headaches or seizures
• Risk of bleeding
• Detection during imaging

Impact on the patient:

Treatment reduces the risk of hemorrhage and stabilizes the condition, helping protect overall brain function.

 

. Stroke Intervention

Stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate action to restore blood flow to the brain.

When is intervention needed?

• In acute stroke cases
• Within the early hours of symptom onset

Impact on the patient:

Timely catheter intervention can remove the clot and restore circulation, significantly improving recovery chances and reducing long-term disability.

 

. Brain and Carotid Artery Stenting

Used to treat narrowing or blockage in arteries supplying the brain.

When is it needed?

• Severe carotid artery narrowing
• Recurrent strokes or transient ischemic attacks
• Reduced blood flow to the brain

Impact on the patient:

Improves blood flow, reduces stroke risk, and enhances overall neurological stability.

 

. Pulsatile Tinnitus Treatment

A condition where patients hear a rhythmic sound linked to blood flow near the ear.

When is intervention required?

• Persistent symptoms affecting daily life
• Identified vascular cause

Impact on the patient:

Treatment can significantly reduce or eliminate the noise, improving sleep, focus, and quality of life.

 

. Treatment of Elevated Intracranial Pressure & Optic Nerve Edema

This condition can affect vision due to increased pressure around the brain.

When is treatment needed?

• Persistent headaches or visual disturbances
• Confirmed elevated intracranial pressure

Impact on the patient:

Reduces pressure on the brain and optic nerve, helping preserve vision and relieve symptoms.
