Seventy-year-old patient with Acom(anterior communicating artery) Aneurysm(an abnormal bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel) has been treated successfully without any incision by the Neuro team of Alchemist Hospital Panchkula.

 A female patient with multiple comorbidities was admitted in

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 coilingIt 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
