Alchemist Hospital Panchkula with the history of sudden onset of severe headache 15
days prior and then again seven days back. Diagnosis found to be having
ruptured (twice) Acom(anterior communicating artery) Aneurysm. The patient was in a very drowsy condition and general status with weakness in both lower limbs.
Dr. Manish Budhiraja,
Neurosurgeon and Dr. Amandeep Singh, Senior Neurointerventionist with Alchemist
Hospital performed the procedure i.e balloon-assisted Coiling known as Endovascular
coiling. It is a minimally invasive technique
used for the treatment of brain aneurysm, which are balloon-like outpouchings of
blood vessels in brain aneurysm, if ruptures, is life threatening. So patient needs
urgent attention and treatment.
Dr Amandeep told that after
the procedure patient responded well to treatment and at present is fully
conscious.
He further informed that Endovascular Coiling is a minimally invasive
alternate to an open surgery, in which there is no incision. The access to
brain blood vessels is taken through femoral artery in equal region. The coils
which are used are made up of platinum or titanium and are shaped like a very
tiny springs with size of twice the width of human brain.
Dr Budhiraja told that this procedure is equally aided by post
procedural care by the specialised Neuro critical care team and being a
minimally invasive technique, the patient recovers with reduced pain and less
hospital stay.
Alchemist hospital has a dedicated neuro ICU and expert team of
Neurosurgeon, Neurologist and Neurointerventionist
