Benefits of the Endovascular Approach to Treat Cerebrovascular Lesions
The endovascular approach to treating cerebrovascular lesions offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery. This minimally invasive technique provides a more efficient, safer, and comfortable experience for patients, allowing for precise treatment with fewer complications. Here are the key benefits:
- Minimally invasive: Involves small incisions, reducing tissue disruption.
- Faster recovery: Patients experience quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain.
- Reduced risk of complications: Lower chance of infection and other complications compared to open surgery.
- Precise treatment: Catheters allow for targeted treatment of lesions like aneurysms and stenosis.
- Shorter hospital stay: Patients can typically go home sooner.
- Improved patient comfort: Less discomfort due to smaller incisions and reduced trauma.

Pseudotumor CerebriDiagnosis & Treatment
Pseudotumor cerebri, also known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), can cause severe headaches and vision problems due to increased pressure inside the skull. We offer minimally invasive interventions, including venous sinus stenting, to relieve symptoms and restore quality of life. Our case studies highlight successful treatment approaches, demonstrating how endovascular techniques can improve patient outcomes.
