Endovascular & Microsurgical Treatment of Brain Diseases

Endovascular & Microsurgical Treatment of Brain Diseases

At Dr. D. P. Sharma’s Neurosurgery Clinic, Jaipur, patients receive advanced care for complex brain and spine vascular disorders. Using a combination of endovascular procedures (catheter-based, minimally invasive) and microsurgical techniques (precision surgery with a microscope), Dr. Sharma treats conditions such as brain aneurysms, AVMs, fistulas, blocked arteries, strokes, and brain tumors. His expertise—MBBS, MS (Gen. Surgery), M.Ch (Neurosurgery), and Fellowship in Endovascular Surgery—makes him one of the most trusted neurosurgeons in the region.

Treatments Offered:-

1. Brain Aneurysm Treatment – Endovascular Coiling & Microsurgical Clipping

Definition:

A brain aneurysm is a weak, bulging area in a blood vessel of the brain. If it ruptures, it can cause a life-threatening hemorrhage.

Symptoms:

  • Sudden, severe headache (often described as “the worst headache of life”)
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Neck stiffness
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Loss of consciousness (in case of rupture)

Why It’s Done:

Treating an aneurysm before it ruptures can save lives. Both coiling and clipping prevent bleeding and reduce the risk of stroke.

Process:

  • Endovascular Coiling: A catheter is guided into the aneurysm and tiny coils are placed inside to block blood flow.
  • Microsurgical Clipping: Through a small skull opening, a clip is placed at the aneurysm’s base to permanently seal it off.

Recovery:

Most patients undergoing coiling recover within 1–2 weeks. Clipping may require 4–6 weeks of recovery depending on complexity.

When to Consult Dr. Sharma:

If you have persistent headaches, vision changes, or have been diagnosed with an aneurysm, consult Dr. D. P. Sharma, Senior Neurosurgeon in Jaipur, for timely treatment.

2. Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Treatment – Microsurgical Excision & Embolization

Definition:

An AVM is a tangled cluster of blood vessels in the brain or spine where arteries connect directly to veins, bypassing normal circulation.

Symptoms:

  • Seizures
  • Headaches
  • Weakness or numbness in limbs
  • Brain hemorrhage (if ruptured)

Why It’s Done:

Untreated AVMs can rupture, leading to stroke, brain damage, or death. Treatment reduces these risks significantly.

Process:

  • Microsurgical Excision: Surgical removal of the AVM using high-precision techniques.
  • Endovascular Embolization: Blocking abnormal blood vessels by injecting a special glue or coils.

Recovery:

Recovery varies: embolization patients often resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks, while excision requires longer healing (4–6 weeks).

When to Consult:

If you have seizures, unexplained headaches, or imaging has shown an AVM, meet Dr. Sharma in Jaipur for early intervention.

3. Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (DAVF) Embolization

Definition:

A dural AV fistula is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain’s covering (dura mater).

Symptoms:

  • Pulsating noise in the ear
  • Headache
  • Vision disturbances
  • Seizures

Why It’s Done:

Untreated DAVFs may cause brain swelling, hemorrhage, or neurological decline. Embolization seals off abnormal vessels.

Process:

A catheter is navigated into the fistula, and liquid agents or coils are used to block abnormal connections.

Recovery:

Most patients are discharged within 2–5 days and recover fully within a few weeks.

When to Consult:

If you experience persistent headaches, vision issues, or pulsating noise in the ear, consult Dr. Sharma for DAVF evaluation in Jaipur.

4. Carotid Cavernous Fistula (CCF) Treatment – Embolization

Definition:

A carotid cavernous fistula is an abnormal connection between the carotid artery and cavernous sinus (a large vein behind the eye).

Symptoms:

  • Bulging, red eyes
  • Vision loss or double vision
  • Headache
  • Swelling around the eyes

Why It’s Done:

Without treatment, CCF can lead to blindness or brain hemorrhage. Embolization is the safest and most effective option.

Process:

Through a catheter, coils or special materials are placed to close the fistula and restore normal blood flow.

Recovery:

Patients typically recover within 2–3 weeks, with improvement in eye symptoms noticed quickly.

When to Consult:

If you have sudden bulging eyes or vision changes, urgently consult Dr. Sharma in Jaipur.

5. Carotid Artery Angioplasty & Stenting

Definition:

Carotid artery disease occurs when the main artery in the neck supplying blood to the brain becomes narrowed due to plaque buildup.

Symptoms:

  • Transient Ischemic Attack (mini-stroke)
  • Sudden weakness/numbness
  • Difficulty speaking

Why It’s Done:

Stenting prevents stroke in patients with carotid narrowing.

Process:

A balloon widens the narrowed artery, and a stent is placed to keep it open.

Recovery:

Most patients recover within a week and can return to daily activities soon.

When to Consult:

If you have had a TIA, minor stroke, or been diagnosed with carotid narrowing, book an appointment with Dr. Sharma in Jaipur.

6. Brain & Spine Tumor Embolization

Definition:

Tumor embolization is performed to cut off the blood supply to brain or spinal tumors before surgery.

Symptoms (of tumors):

  • Persistent headaches
  • Seizures
  • Weakness in limbs
  • Memory or personality changes

Why It’s Done:

By reducing blood flow, embolization makes tumor removal safer and minimizes surgical bleeding.

Process:

A catheter delivers embolic material into the arteries supplying the tumor.

Recovery:

Patients usually recover in 1–2 weeks and undergo tumor surgery shortly after.

When to Consult:

If you’ve been diagnosed with a brain or spine tumor, consult Dr. Sharma in Jaipur for a safe treatment plan.

7. Stroke Treatment – Mechanical Thrombectomy

Definition:

Mechanical thrombectomy is a life-saving procedure to remove blood clots blocking brain arteries during ischemic stroke.

Symptoms:

  • Sudden weakness or paralysis
  • Slurred speech
  • Facial drooping
  • Loss of balance

Why It’s Done:

Restoring blood flow quickly prevents permanent brain damage and disability.

Process:

A catheter with a stent retriever or suction device is used to remove the clot from the brain artery.

Recovery:

Patients often see improvement within hours. Rehabilitation may be needed depending on stroke severity.

When to Consult:

Stroke is a medical emergency—rush immediately to Dr. Sharma’s Neurosurgery Clinic, Jaipur, or the nearest hospital.

8. Cerebral Angiography (DSA – Digital Subtraction Angiography)

Definition:

A diagnostic imaging test to visualize brain blood vessels using contrast dye and X-rays.

Why It’s Done:

Used to detect aneurysms, AVMs, fistulas, or vessel blockages before treatment.

Process:

A catheter is inserted into the groin/arm artery and guided to brain vessels. Images are taken for detailed diagnosis.

Recovery:

Patients usually go home the same day or next day with minimal downtime.

When to Consult:

If your doctor has recommended a cerebral angiogram, Dr. Sharma in Jaipur offers advanced DSA imaging for precise diagnosis.

FAQ's

A brain aneurysm is a weak spot in a blood vessel that bulges and can rupture, leading to serious bleeding. Treatments include endovascular coiling (blocking the aneurysm with coils via a catheter) or microsurgical clipping (placing a clip at the aneurysm’s base). Early treatment prevents stroke and permanent brain damage. Patients in Jaipur can consult Dr. D.P. Sharma for timely aneurysm care.

AVMs are abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain or spine that can rupture. Common signs include seizures, headaches, limb weakness, or bleeding. Treatment options include microsurgical excision or endovascular embolization to block abnormal vessels. Dr. Sharma in Jaipur provides advanced AVM management for optimal outcomes.

A DAVF is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain covering. Patients may notice pulsating noises in the ear, headaches, or vision problems. Endovascular embolization is the safest way to close these abnormal vessels. Consulting Dr. Sharma early can prevent serious neurological complications.

A CCF is an abnormal connection between the carotid artery and a vein behind the eye. Symptoms include bulging eyes, double vision, headaches, and eye swelling. Endovascular embolization seals the fistula and restores normal blood flow. Early intervention by Dr. Sharma in Jaipur is crucial to protect vision and brain health.

When the carotid artery in the neck is narrowed, it increases stroke risk. Angioplasty widens the artery with a balloon, and a stent keeps it open. This minimally invasive procedure is safe and effective. Patients who have had TIAs or strokes should consult Dr. Sharma in Jaipur for evaluation.

Tumor embolization blocks blood supply to highly vascular brain or spine tumors before surgery. This reduces bleeding and makes tumor removal safer. Recovery is typically short, and patients often proceed to surgery soon after. Dr. Sharma’s expertise ensures safe and effective tumor embolization in Jaipur.

Mechanical thrombectomy removes large blood clots causing ischemic strokes. A catheter device extracts the clot and restores blood flow. Quick treatment, ideally within 6–24 hours of stroke onset, dramatically improves recovery. In Jaipur, Dr. Sharma offers emergency thrombectomy for stroke patients with life-saving results.

Cerebral angiography, or DSA, is a diagnostic test that maps the blood vessels of the brain using contrast dye and X-rays. It helps detect aneurysms, AVMs, fistulas, and blockages, guiding precise treatment. Patients in Jaipur can get advanced DSA imaging with Dr. Sharma for accurate diagnosis and planning.

The choice between endovascular and microsurgical procedures depends on the condition, vessel size and location, patient health, and urgency. Dr. Sharma evaluates each patient with detailed imaging (MRI, CT, DSA) and recommends the safest, most effective treatment in Jaipur.

Recovery varies by procedure. Endovascular treatments generally allow patients to return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks, while microsurgical procedures may require 4–6 weeks of healing. Dr. Sharma provides tailored post-procedure care plans to ensure safe recovery.
