What is hemorrhagic stroke or Brain Hemorrhage?

Hemorrhagic stroke is a spontaneous non traumatic bleeding inside the brain leading to brain cell damage & stroke/paralysis. There are many causes of bleeding inside brain like brain aneurysm (ballooning of blood vessel), brain AVF, AVM (Entangled bunch of abnormal brain vessels), high blood pressure, abnormalities of blood factors etc.

What is Interventional Neuroradiology treatment of hemorrhagic stroke or Brain Hemorrhage (Aneurysm & AVM)?

The causes of hemorrhagic stroke like brain aneurysm (ballooning of blood vessel), brain AVF, AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation -Entangled bunch of abnormal brain vessels) are treated by minimally invasive endovascular neurosurgery by Interventional Neuroradiologist without opening the skull & brain.

The brain aneurysm (ballooning of blood vessel) is treated by endovascular coiling. The aneurysm is approached from thigh with the help of microcatheter & microwire & then packed with platinum metallic coils. The packed & blocked aneurysm is thus separated from normal brain circulation & is treated.

The AVF, AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation -Entangled bunch of abnormal brain vessels) are also treated by this minimally invasive endovascular neurosurgery called as Embolisation. The AVM is approached from thigh with the help of microcatheter & microwire & then filled with the liquid agent called as ‘Onyx’ or Glue. The filled & blocked AVM is thus separated from normal brain circulation & is treated.
