Time-critical stroke care saves lives and brain function.
Every minute matters during a stroke. Endovascular thrombectomy and neurovascular interventions can restore blood flow to the brain and prevent permanent disability. Seek expert care immediately.
Understanding Neurovascular Interventions
Neurovascular conditions affect the blood vessels supplying the brain and spinal cord. Stroke, brain aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can cause sudden, life-threatening emergencies that require rapid, specialised intervention.
Endovascular neurovascular treatments involve accessing brain arteries through a catheter inserted in the groin or wrist — no brain surgery required. These minimally invasive techniques are the standard of care for acute stroke, aneurysm management, and AVM treatment worldwide.
What Are Neurovascular Interventions?
Neurovascular interventions use catheter-based techniques to treat conditions affecting blood vessels in the brain and spine. For acute ischaemic stroke, mechanical thrombectomy removes the clot blocking a brain artery. For brain aneurysms, endovascular coiling prevents rupture by filling the aneurysm sac with tiny platinum coils. These procedures are performed under live X-ray guidance, require no open brain surgery, and offer significantly better outcomes when performed by experienced specialists within the treatment window.
Focused Patient Care
Neurovascular conditions are complex. We use advanced neuroimaging to tailor the safest catheter approach for each patient’s specific vascular anatomy and clinical situation.
24/7 Care
Stroke is a medical emergency. Our team collaborates with emergency departments for rapid assessment and intervention — because restoring brain blood flow within hours can prevent permanent disability.
Timely Care
Post-procedure neurological monitoring and rehabilitation guidance are integral to recovery. Our team coordinates with neurologists and physiotherapists for comprehensive follow-up care.
Pinhole access techniques for minimal trauma and faster recovery
Advanced image-guided navigation for precision targeting of vascular structures
Expertise in emergency angioembolization for internal bleeding control
Our Treatment Process
Here is what the neurovascular intervention pathway looks like — whether it is an emergency or a planned procedure:
1
Diagnosis & Planning
Advanced imaging scans help pinpoint blockages, bleeding, or vascular abnormalities; treatment is tailored to your exact condition and medical history.
2
Minimally Invasive Procedure
A catheter is inserted through a pinhole access point to treat the target vessel without open surgery, using real-time imaging guidance.
3
Recovery & Monitoring
Most patients recover quickly with minimal pain and receive comprehensive follow-up care to track healing progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
FAQs About The Service
Frequently asked questions about endovascular stroke and neurovascular treatment:
What are endovascular interventions?
Endovascular interventions are minimally invasive procedures performed inside blood vessels using catheters and specialized tools, guided by real-time imaging to treat vascular conditions without open surgery.
How long does an endovascular procedure take?
Most endovascular procedures take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on complexity. Simple embolizations may take 30-45 minutes, while complex angioplasty or stenting procedures may take 1-2 hours.
What is the recovery time after endovascular treatment?
Recovery is typically faster than open surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, with full recovery in 1-2 weeks. Heavy lifting restrictions may apply for 7-10 days.
Are endovascular procedures painful?
These procedures are performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation. Patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and mild soreness at the access site afterward, which resolves within 2-3 days.
What are the risks of endovascular interventions?
Risks are generally low and include minor bleeding at the access site, temporary bruising, or rare allergic reactions to contrast dye. Serious complications are uncommon due to the minimally invasive nature of these procedures.
Will I need to stay in the hospital overnight?
Most endovascular procedures are day-care procedures. Patients typically go home the same day after 4-6 hours of observation. Overnight stay may be required for complex cases or if complications arise.
