What is Interventional
Neuro Radiology

Interventional neuroradiology is an advanced subspecialty within clinical radiology, dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system disorders. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge medical imaging, interventional neuroradiologists employ minimally invasive techniques to deliver targeted therapies with utmost precision.

Through the use of microcatheters inserted in the groin area and guided by X-ray imaging, these specialists navigate the intricate network of blood vessels that lead to the brain. This allows them to perform a wide array of treatments, transforming the management of conditions that traditionally required invasive surgical procedures.

One of the groundbreaking interventions is stroke treatment, where clot-busting drugs are precisely delivered directly to the site of blockage. This approach promotes the restoration of blood flow to the brain, greatly enhancing the chances of patient recovery while minimizing potential damage. Similarly, interventional neuroradiology has revolutionized aneurysm therapy. By inserting platinum coils into bulging aneurysms, the risk of clotting and rupture is effectively reduced, providing patients with a safer and highly effective treatment alternative.

These innovative interventions can be performed through small incisions, eliminating the need for traditional open surgery. Consequently, patients experience shorter hospital stays, faster recovery periods, and reduced risks associated with more invasive approaches.

Advanced Techniques
for Precision Treatment

The brain, with its intricate structure of grooves and intertwined vessels, presents neurologists with the challenge of performing complex procedures with utmost accuracy and efficiency. Particularly in cases of aneurysm and stroke, where preserving live brain tissue is crucial, time and precision are of utmost importance. Traditional methods often involve time-consuming processes, such as multiple angiograms and tedious localization procedures.

However, with the advent of cutting-edge technology like the Biplane CathLab, neurologists can revolutionize their approach to these procedures. In the past, determining whether a stroke resulted from a block or bleed alone could consume around 20 minutes. Additionally, identifying the precise location of the block required multiple angiograms from various angles. With the utilization of the Advanced Biplane CathLab at KIMSHEALTH, a single angiogram and a Cone Beam CT scan now provide a comprehensive 3D image of the brain and its vessels, accompanied by a roadmap. This breakthrough innovation allows doctors to effortlessly navigate to the exact site of the blockage and accurately place stents. Consequently, the entire procedure time has been significantly reduced to just 30 minutes, a substantial improvement from the previously required 2 hours.
