Neuro Vascular Surgery
Neurovascular Surgery treats disorders of the blood vessels that supply the brain and spinal cord, from aneurysms and malformations to blocked or narrowed arteries. Dr. Rahul Prasad uses advanced imaging together with microsurgical and catheter-based techniques to restore healthy blood flow, prevent bleeding, and reduce the risk of stroke.
What is Neurovascular Surgery?
Neurovascular surgery is a specialised field focused on the arteries and veins of the brain and spinal cord. It treats conditions where blood vessels are weakened, blocked, narrowed, or abnormally formed, any of which can lead to bleeding, stroke, or reduced blood flow. Through precise microsurgical repair, the goal is to secure or restore these vessels, prevent bleeding, and protect the surrounding nerve tissue.
