Interventional Neurology
Interventional Neurology is a subspecialty within Neurology. Interventional Neurology refers to endovascular, catheter-based techniques using Fluoroscopy and Angiography to diagnose and treat vascular disease of the Central Nervous System. Interventional Neurology uses tools that pass through the blood vessels to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions rather than using open surgery.
Health1 Super Speciality Hospitals has a team of expert Interventional Neurologists who have done interventions in a number of patients with highest success ratio and good recovery rates. As we believe in result oriented treatment of the patient, we focus on the perfect diagnosis and treatment of the patient at an affordable cost.
Conditions can be treated by using Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques :
- Brain and Spinal Vascular Malformations
- Cerebral Aneurysm – Bulging, Weakening of an artery supplying blood to the brain
- Extracranial & Intracranial Atherosclerosis – Hardening of arteries that supply blood to the head and neck
- Head and Neck Tumors
- Neck Lesions
- Severe Nose bleeds
- Stroke/Blood Clot in the Brain
- Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) – Bleeding/Bursting of a blood vessel in the brain
Scope Of Services :
- Angioplasty : Procedure that looks at how blood is flowing in the neck and brain vessels to determine whether the vessels are diseased, narrowed, enlarged or blocked
- Coil Embolization : Insertion of a very thin wire (coil) to block blood flow to an area
- Embolectomy: Removal of a blood clot that caused the stroke
- Stenting : Insertion of a balloon and/or tiny metal tube (stent) to open a narrowed vessel/artery
- Thrombectomy : threading a catheter through an artery in the patient’s groin to the blocked artery in the brain. A device at the end of the catheter attaches to the clot; the neurologist removes the trapped clot and blood flow to the brain resumes within minutes. Brain cells are no longer deprived of oxygen.

FAQs for Interventional Neurology
What is interventional neurology and how does it treat brain disorders?
Interventional neurology is a specialized field that treats brain and nerve conditions using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. It focuses on neurovascular disorders like stroke and aneurysms by accessing blood vessels through catheters instead of open surgery, allowing faster recovery and precise treatment.
What conditions are treated in interventional neurology?
Interventional neurology treats conditions such as stroke, brain aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations, and vascular blockages. These neurological disorders affect blood flow in the brain and require advanced procedures to restore circulation and prevent permanent damage.
What is mechanical thrombectomy in stroke treatment?
Mechanical thrombectomy is a procedure used to remove a blood clot from a blocked artery in the brain. It is an emergency stroke treatment that helps restore blood flow quickly and reduces the risk of long-term neurological damage.
What is aneurysm coiling in brain treatment?
Aneurysm coiling is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat weakened blood vessels in the brain. Tiny coils are placed inside the aneurysm to prevent rupture and control blood flow, reducing the risk of life-threatening bleeding.
What is stenting in neurovascular treatment?
Stenting is a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked brain arteries. A small mesh tube is inserted into the vessel to restore blood flow and prevent stroke, making it an effective treatment for vascular neurological conditions.
What symptoms indicate the need for interventional neurology care?
Symptoms such as sudden weakness, speech difficulty, severe headache, dizziness, or loss of coordination may indicate serious brain conditions. These symptoms require immediate evaluation and advanced treatment to prevent complications like stroke or permanent disability.
How is interventional neurology different from neurosurgery?
Interventional neurology uses minimally invasive techniques through blood vessels, while neurosurgery involves open surgical procedures. This approach reduces recovery time, lowers risks, and allows precise treatment of neurological disorders affecting the brain and spine.
Is interventional neurology treatment safe?
Interventional neurology procedures are generally safe when performed by experienced specialists. These minimally invasive techniques reduce complications, minimize tissue damage, and improve recovery outcomes compared to traditional brain surgery.
How does interventional neurology improve stroke recovery?
Interventional neurology improves stroke recovery by rapidly restoring blood flow using advanced procedures like thrombectomy and thrombolysis. Early treatment minimizes brain damage, improves survival rates, and enhances long-term neurological function.
When should you consult an interventional neurology specialist?
You should consult a specialist immediately if you experience symptoms of stroke, severe headaches, or sudden neurological changes. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are critical to prevent serious brain damage and improve treatment outcomes.
