The surgeons at BLK-MAX Centre for neurosciences will treat patients with serious conditions related to Stroke. The treatment might require clot-busting drugs or angioplasty of the brain vessels in a Cath Lab. In the case of a haemorrhagic stroke, the treatment will depend upon the cause of the brain stroke. The major types of stroke causes are: Aneurysm Treatment Method: In endovascular coiling, a very thin metal wire is inserted inside the brain aneurysm, through a miniature catheter, by a highly experienced neurosurgeon. This microcatheter is navigated through the web of brain arteries under image guidance in a cath lab. Once the catheter reaches the desired location, a series of handmade coils are placed inside the aneurysm and detached from outside the body. These small coils form a coil mass which blocks the blood flow to the aneurysm and subsequently lead to the healing of the artery. Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Treatment Method: An Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) is an abnormal collection of blood vessels occurring within the brain itself. In an AVM, there is a sort of short circuit which causes the blood to travel rapidly from the arteries directly into the veins. This can lead to a pressure build-up and cause bleeding from the AVM or the veins, which do not have enough support in their walls. Patients can be asymptomatic or may suffer from headaches, seizures, or deterioration of neurologic functions. If haemorrhage occurs, patients may experience severe headaches, stroke-like symptoms, or even loss of consciousness. The treatment of AVMs may include surgical excision, radiation treatment, or embolisation. In most cases, embolisation is used to block the blood supply to the AVMs, making the treatment safe. In 70% of the cases, embolisation may fully treat a lesion. In some cases, patients might have to undergo a surgical resection or radiation therapy to complete the treatment. Carotid Disease (Stenosis) Treatment Method: In recent years, the use of Angioplasty and Stenting for treating cerebrovascular diseases has grown immensely. Patients with more than 70% symptomatic carotid stenosis are the ones who greatly benefit from this intervention procedure. Patients may also have a history of a previous stroke or Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs). This procedure is performed under monitored anaesthetic care with the patient sedated or under general anaesthesia, depending on their medical condition, making it a highly personalised treatment. Tumour Embolization: There are several groups of patients in whom bleeding from a tumour needs to be controlled. This may include pre-operative treatment of the neck masses (paragangliomas and juvenile angiofibromas) or skull base lesions (meningiomas) to decrease the time and risk of surgery. Patients with epistaxis, i.e. persistent severe nose bleeding, may also benefit from tumour embolisation. All the above procedures are called neuro-intervention procedures and are done in a Neurovascular Cath Lab. In the case of Ischemic Stroke: Stroke Therapy Treatment Method: The incidences of serious stroke-related, long-term disabilities are rising every year. The current emphasis is on recognizing strokes as early as possible, and all attempts are made to open clogged arteries to prevent the loss of brain neurons. The earlier the endovascular treatment is performed, the better the outcome. This is done by using a clot-removing device, which traps and removes a clot from the artery of the brain in a cath lab. This procedure's functional outcomes are significantly better compared to traditional treatment of brain stroke.
