Chandigarh August 19, 2021:- A 50 -yr old woman suffering from a large aneurysm arising from a cavernous segment of the left internal carotid artery (ballooning of artery) was treated successfully with Endovascular Neurosurgery at Ivy Hospital, Mohali recently.
Anjali (name changed) who hails from Jalandhar was facing a severe headache. On MRI a large 2 cm aneurysm was discovered in a cavernous segment of the left Internal carotid artery was the cause of her problems.
Earlier this kind of problem was treated with open surgery, but Dr Vineet Saggar, Head of Neuro Interventional and Endovascular Neurosurgery at Ivy Hospital is treating this kind of patient successfully with Endovascular Neurosurgeon from the past 5-years at Ivy.
Giving information during a press conference here on Thursday, Dr Vineet Saggar said that in this technique, the catheter femoral artery and aneurysm is sealed with coils. Nowadays flow divertor or stent-assisted coiling is used to treat such large aneurysms.
It was a complicated case as the neck of aneurysm was very large and simple coiling would have resulted in prolapse of coils into the main artery and caused blockage and stroke. So this patient was treated with stent assisted coiling and discharged in a few days after surgery. This is a very complicated procedure, said Dr Saggar who is an expert in performing this kind of complex procedure.
Dr Vineet Saggar also informed that brain stroke patients can also be treated with this endovascular neurosurgical procedure. If a patient suffering from stroke can be brought into the hospital within 4-5 hours of stroke, the stroke-affected area can be opened by mechanical thrombectomy and the life of patients can be saved, he maintained.
