๐ANOTHER MILESTONE UNLOCKED IN INTERVENTIONAL NEURORADIOLOGY! โขWitness the FIRST SUCCESFUL ENDOVASCULAR COILING OF A BRAIN ANEURYSM. ๐ง
PROCEDURE: โCEREBRAL ANGIOGRAM WITH ENDOVASCULAR COILING OF ANTERIOR COMMUNICATING ARTERY ANEURYSM"
Cerebral angiogram with endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat brain aneurysms. It involves inserting a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) through a small incision, either in the groin or wrist, and guiding it in the brain using fluoroscopy (a type of real-time X-ray imaging).
Once the catheter is in place, a special dye is injected through the catheter, and X-ray images are taken to visualize the blood flow to the brain and identify the aneurysm.
A microcatheter is then placed within the aneurysm wherein tiny platinum coils are threaded through it and deployed into the aneurysm. These coils promote clot formation within the aneurysm which helps to seal it off from the blood flow and reduces the risk of rupture.
This procedure offers an alternative to traditional open brain surgery, because it is less invasive , has a short recovery time, and generally involves fewer complications.
----------
Case: A 45-year-old male diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage Hunt and Hess Grade 2; Hypertension Stage II Uncontrolled. Diagnostic imaging confirmed a small saccular aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. The procedure was completed within 1 hour with no periprocedural complications. The patient was transferred to Post Anesthesia Care Unit and Neuro Cardiovascular Care Unit for post procedure care and management.
