Endovascular Neurosurgery
Endovascular Neurosurgery treats blood vessel disorders of the brain and spinal cord from inside the vessels, without the need for open surgery. Dr. Rahul Prasad uses advanced angiographic imaging and thin catheters guided through the arteries to repair aneurysms, malformations, and blockages with precision, minimal disruption, and faster recovery.
What is Endovascular Neurosurgery?
Endovascular neurosurgery is a minimally invasive approach that treats neurovascular conditions from within the blood vessels. Instead of opening the skull, the surgeon guides a thin, flexible catheter through an artery — usually from the wrist or groin — up to the affected vessel in the brain. Using real-time imaging, tiny devices such as coils, stents, or flow diverters are delivered to seal aneurysms, block abnormal vessels, or reopen narrowed and blocked arteries. This approach reduces surgical trauma and supports quicker recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is a minimally invasive technique that treats blood vessel disorders of the brain and spine from inside the vessels using thin catheters guided through the arteries, without open surgery.
It is commonly used for brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, ischemic stroke (clot removal), carotid artery narrowing, and other neurovascular conditions.
Because there is no large incision, many patients recover quickly — often within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the condition treated.
Recovery varies with severity. Mild injuries may heal in a few weeks, while severe brain or spinal cord injuries can take several months and often require structured rehabilitation.
