Cerebral Angiography is a medical imaging procedure used to visualize the blood vessels in the brain. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream and taking detailed X-ray images to detect abnormalities such as aneurysms, blockages, or malformations. This diagnostic tool helps doctors assess blood flow to the brain and plan treatments for conditions like strokes, tumors, or vascular disorders.

Cardiac Angiography is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to visualize the blood vessels of the heart. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and using X-ray imaging to detect blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities. This test helps diagnose heart conditions such as coronary artery disease and assess the severity of the condition to guide treatment options, including angioplasty or surgery.

These are minimally invasive treatments for brain aneurysms, which are weakened areas in blood vessel walls that can bulge and risk rupture:

• Endovascular Coiling: Involves inserting platinum coils into the aneurysm to promote clotting and prevent blood flow into the bulge, reducing the risk of rupture.
• Pipeline Stent: A flow-diverting stent placed across the aneurysm opening to redirect blood flow and encourage healing of the vessel wall.
• WEB Endovascular Device: A self-expanding, mesh-like device inserted directly into the aneurysm to stabilize it and promote clotting.

These techniques are performed under imaging guidance and offer effective, less invasive alternatives to open surgery.

Thrombectomy for Stroke is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove a blood clot blocking blood flow in the brain during an ischemic stroke. Performed under imaging guidance, a catheter is inserted through an artery (usually in the groin) and navigated to the brain to extract the clot using specialized devices like stent retrievers or suction catheters. Thrombectomy is most effective when performed shortly after stroke symptoms begin, restoring blood flow and reducing the risk of permanent brain damage.

Vertebral Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowing or blockages in the vertebral arteries, which supply blood to the brain and spinal cord. A small, expandable stent is placed within the artery to widen it and restore proper blood flow. This procedure is often performed under imaging guidance and is used to reduce symptoms like dizziness, imbalance, or the risk of stroke caused by compromised blood flow.

Vertebral Augmentation: Kyphoplasty and Sacroplasty are minimally invasive procedures designed to stabilize fractures in the spine and sacrum, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. Kyphoplasty involves inserting a balloon into the fractured vertebra to create space, which is then filled with bone cement to restore height and relieve pain. Sacroplasty follows a similar approach, targeting fractures in the sacrum. Both procedures are performed under imaging guidance, offering rapid pain relief and improved mobility with minimal recovery time.

Intracranial Arterial Stents are tiny, expandable devices used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries within the brain, often caused by conditions like atherosclerosis. The stents are placed using a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure guided by imaging. By opening and supporting the affected blood vessels, they help restore blood flow, reduce the risk of stroke, and improve long-term brain health. This technique provides a targeted, effective alternative to traditional surgical interventions.

Vascular Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to block abnormal or problematic blood vessels. It involves injecting tiny particles, coils, or other materials through a catheter to obstruct blood flow to specific areas. This technique is commonly used to treat conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), bleeding, or tumors. Performed under imaging guidance, vascular embolization effectively reduces blood loss, shrinks tumors, or prevents rupture, offering a safe and targeted alternative to surgery.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) Headache Treatment focuses on managing the increased pressure inside the skull, which causes symptoms like severe headaches, vision problems, and ringing in the ears. Treatments may include weight loss, medications to reduce cerebrospinal fluid production or relieve pressure, and minimally invasive procedures like venous sinus stenting to improve blood flow and alleviate pressure. In some cases, a lumbar puncture or a shunt may be used to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid, providing symptom relief and protecting vision.
