Prevention, early diagnosis and prompt treatment are considered to be the main concern and challenge for a neurologist dealing with such major problem.

Know more about Interventional Neurology
What is Cerebral Angiography?
Cerebral angiography is a procedure that doctors use to image blood vessels in the brain. This allows your physician to diagnose narrowing or blockages of blood vessels, abnormally dilated blood vessels, and hardening of blood vessels inside the head or in the neck, intracranial aneurysms and other abnormalities of the blood vessels. The angiogram is a minimally invasive procedure. The procedure is done in the angiography suite with a special team of physicians, physician assistants, nurses and technologists. The test generally lasts 1-2 hours.
What is Carotid Artery Stenting?
Carotid artery stenting is a procedure in which your vascular surgeon inserts a slender, metal-mesh tube, called a stent, which expands inside your carotid artery to increase blood flow in areas blocked by plaque.
What is Endovascular Aneurysm Coiling?
Coiling is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure performed to treat an aneurysm a balloon-like bulge of an artery wall. As an aneurysm grows, it thins and weakens. It can become so thin that it leaks or ruptures, releasing blood into the space around the brain. This bleeding is called a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and is life threatening. Coils accomplish from the inside what a surgical clip would accomplish from the outside, they stop blood from flowing into an aneurysm but allow blood to flow freely through the normal arteries.
