Neurovascular Interventions

Neurovascular interventions are medical procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord. These may include issues like aneurysms (bulges in blood vessels), arteriovenous malformations (abnormal connections between arteries and veins), or strokes. Techniques used can involve minimally invasive approaches, such as catheterization, where thin tubes are inserted through blood vessels to deliver treatments like coils or stents. The goal is to restore normal blood flow and prevent further complications, enhancing overall neurological health. These interventions are typically performed by specialized doctors called interventional neurologists or neurosurgeons.
