Overview Section

Interventional Neurology Hospital in India

Interventional neurology is an advanced subspecialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the brain, spine, and blood vessels using minimally invasive, image-guided techniques. These procedures are designed to improve precision, reduce recovery time, and minimise the need for open surgery.

At Gleneagles Hospitals, the Interventional Neurology department provides specialised care for complex neurological and vascular conditions. Using advanced imaging systems and catheter-based techniques, our team is equipped to manage conditions such as acute stroke, aneurysms, and other vascular abnormalities of the brain and neck.

This field plays a critical role in emergency stroke care, where timely intervention can significantly improve outcomes. Procedures such as clot removal (mechanical thrombectomy), endovascular treatment of aneurysms, and carotid artery stenting are performed with a focus on accuracy and patient safety.

Supported by experienced specialists and modern neurointerventional technology, the department works closely with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and critical care teams to ensure coordinated and effective treatment. Our approach emphasises early diagnosis, precise intervention, and comprehensive post-procedure care to support better neurological recovery.

Conditions Treated

At Gleneagles Hospitals, the Interventional Neurology department manages a range of complex neurological and vascular conditions using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. These advanced techniques help improve precision, reduce recovery time, and support better clinical outcomes.

Key conditions treated include:

  • Ischemic Stroke: Stroke caused by a blockage in a brain artery, leading to reduced blood flow. Emergency procedures such as mechanical thrombectomy are performed to remove clots and restore circulation.
  • Brain Aneurysm:
    Weak or bulging areas in brain blood vessels that may rupture if untreated. Management includes minimally invasive techniques such as coiling and flow diversion.
  • Carotid Artery Stenosis:
    Narrowing of the carotid arteries, which can increase the risk of stroke. Treatment options include carotid artery stenting to improve blood flow.
  • Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs):
    Abnormal connections between arteries and veins that can disrupt normal blood flow. These are treated using targeted embolisation techniques.
  • Cerebral Venous Thrombosis:
    Clot formation in the brain’s venous system, which may require catheter-based interventions for effective management.
  • Intracranial Stenosis:
    Narrowing of arteries within the brain, treated using procedures such as balloon angioplasty and stenting to restore adequate blood flow.
  • Subarachnoid Haemorrhage:
    Bleeding in the space surrounding the brain, requiring rapid imaging and timely intervention to prevent complications.
  • Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA):
    Often referred to as a “mini-stroke,” it serves as an early warning sign. Prompt evaluation and treatment can help prevent a major stroke.

    Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is interventional neurology?

    Interventional neurology is a specialised field that uses minimally invasive, image-guided techniques to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the brain, spine, and blood vessels.

  • When is interventional neurology required?

    It is commonly used in conditions such as stroke, brain aneurysms, vascular blockages, and other neurovascular disorders where minimally invasive treatment can improve outcomes.

  • What is mechanical thrombectomy?

    Mechanical thrombectomy is an emergency procedure used in stroke treatment to remove a blood clot from a blocked brain artery and restore blood flow.

  • How is interventional neurology different from traditional neurosurgery?

    Unlike open surgery, interventional neurology uses catheter-based techniques through small incisions, resulting in shorter recovery time and reduced risk.

  • Is interventional neurology safe?

    Yes, these procedures are generally safe when performed by experienced specialists, with protocols in place to ensure patient safety and accuracy.
