Interventional Neuro-Radiology
Interventional neuroradiology is a growing subspecialty that uses minimally invasive techniques to treat diseases of the blood vessels of the brain and spine. Endovascular neurosurgeons use tiny catheters (hollow plastic tubes) from inside the blood vessel (endovascularly). Medical imaging, called angiography (based on x-ray technology) is the cornerstone of this practice; hence the term Interventional Neuroradiology. The interventional Neuroradiologist uses angiography to pinpoint the size, shape, and location of any pathology prior to precise and effective treatment.
Interventional neuroradiologists treat disorders of the brain, head/neck, and spine that may otherwise require open surgery. Currently, the service is enjoying exceptional strengths in the management of brain aneurysms, AVMs, intracranial and extracranial occlusive disease, acute stroke, otolaryngologic disease, and vertebral compression fractures.
Minimally invasive procedures include:
- Stroke therapy
- Aneurysm coiling
- Carotid stent placement
- AVM (arteriovenous malformation) closure
- Presurgical tumor embolization
- Nosebleed treatment
- Cerebral angiograms
- Spinal angiograms
