Endovascular neurosurgery

The Clinic of Neurology and neurosurgery of the European Medical Center performs minimally invasive endovascular interventions in the pathology of cerebral vessels and spinal cord (arterial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations), neck vessels (stenosing atherosclerosis) and hypervascular tumors of the head and spine.

Highly qualified angioedema surgeons work on a modern biplanar angiographic complex, which allows for accurate visualization of vascular pathology features and immediate correction. The work uses implantable intravascular devices (detachable microspirals, stents) from the leaders of the international medical industry.

Endovascular thromboextraction is becoming increasingly widespread in the world in the acute period of ischemic stroke, when an emergency intravascular removal of a blood clot that has disrupted blood flow in the cerebral artery is performed with a special device inserted into the vessel through a point puncture in the thigh. This technology is more effective than the widely used thrombolysis, which is effective only during the first 3 hours after the onset of stroke symptoms.

The use of endovascular thromboextraction is effective for 6-8 hours after stroke and has practically no contraindications, unlike a wide range of those for thrombolysis.

EMC endovascular treatment specialists have extensive experience in using thromboextraction technology and are ready to provide their assistance immediately in a critical situation.
