What Is Neuroendovascular Surgery?

Neuroendovascular surgery helps treat complex brain and spinal cord conditions. This minimally invasive procedure consists of a very thin and flexible tube (catheter) that is inserted into a blood vessel (often via the groin, arm or leg) to deliver medication, diagnostic dyes or treatments to the brain, spinal cords or nerves. The term neuroendovascular consists of neuro, referring to the nervous system (brain, spinal cord or nerves), and endovascular, meaning within the blood vessels.

A neuroendovascular procedure can be used for a variety of reasons. For example, as a diagnostic tool to transport dyes to the specific part of the body for an angiography, to deliver drugs or to carry coils for the treatment of a weakened blood vessel wall.

Since neuroendovascular surgery is minimally invasive compared to open surgeries, blood loss is minimal and recovery time is shorter.

What Conditions Does Neuroendovascular Surgery Treat at NSPC?

A wide range of conditions can diagnosed and/or treated using cerebrovascular surgery and interventional radiology (image-guided catheter-based techniques to treat brain and spine diseases of the blood vessels):

spine or brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs are tangles of abnormal blood vessels)
meningiomas (benign tumors of the brain) and other tumors of the brain
ischemic stroke (an artery that supplies blood to brain becomes blocked)
spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal)
carotid stenosis (angioplasty and stenting can be used to reduce the risk of a stroke in the constricted carotid artery)
aneurysms of the brain
intracranial-hemorrhage from a head injury or other condition

Interventional neuroradiology is also known as neurointerventional radiology or endovascular neuroradiology. This type of medical sub-specialty uses imaging such as x-rays, nuclear medicine and fluoroscopy along with neuroendovascular methods to diagnosis or treat diseases.
