Brain Vascular Surgery
Brain vascular surgeries are complex procedures aimed at treating abnormalities within the blood vessels of the brain, such as aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). An aneurysm is a weak spot in a blood vessel wall that can bulge and potentially rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding into the surrounding brain tissue. On the other hand, an AVM is a tangled web of abnormal blood vessels that disrupts normal blood flow and increases the risk of bleeding or stroke. Both conditions require timely and precise surgical intervention to prevent complications and preserve brain function.
Treatment for brain aneurysms and AVMs typically involves one of several surgical approaches, depending on the size, location, and severity of the vascular abnormality. For aneurysms, the most common procedure is microsurgical clipping, where a small metal clip is placed at the base of the aneurysm to isolate it from the main artery and prevent rupture.
