Vascular & Endovascular Brain Surgery
Vascular & Endovascular Brain Surgery treats disorders of the blood vessels supplying the brain, from aneurysms and malformations to blocked or narrowed arteries. Dr. Rahul Prasad uses advanced imaging along with both open microsurgical and catheter-based endovascular techniques to restore healthy blood flow and prevent life-threatening bleeding.
What is Vascular & Endovascular Brain Surgery?
Vascular brain surgery treats abnormal or damaged blood vessels in and around the brain. Traditional (open) vascular surgery accesses the vessel directly through microsurgery, while endovascular surgery reaches the problem from inside the blood vessel using a thin catheter guided through the arteries, avoiding a large opening in the skull. The right approach depends on the location, size, and nature of the vessel problem, and both aim to prevent bleeding, restore blood flow, and protect brain function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Endovascular brain surgery treats blood vessel problems from inside the vessel using a thin catheter guided through the arteries, avoiding a large opening in the skull.
Open vascular surgery reaches the affected vessel directly through microsurgery, while endovascular surgery works from within the vessel. The choice depends on the location, size, and type of the problem.
Yes. With advanced angiographic imaging, modern catheter techniques, and experienced neurosurgical care, these procedures are safe and highly precise.
Endovascular procedures often allow faster recovery, sometimes within days to a few weeks, while open vascular surgery may take several weeks depending on the condition.
