Endovascular surgery
Endovascular embolization is a modern minimally invasive method of surgical treatment of cerebral vascular malformations.
The operation is performed through a single puncture of the artery on the thigh in the groin area. A thin tube-catheter is inserted into the femoral artery, which, under constant X-ray control, advances through the vascular system of the body and is installed in the vessels of the brain directly near the pathological focus of the malformation.
Operation
Angiography of the cerebral vessels is performed, which confirms the correct location of the catheter. After that, an embolization substance is injected through the catheter, which “seals” the pathological vessels of the malformation . Since the structure of the vascular malformation is quite complex, it is not always possible to completely embolize the entire pathological focus.
Sometimes a staged treatment in the form of repeated embolization using different embolizing agents and coils is required. Also, combined treatment is used – microsurgical removal of the malformation after its partial embolization or radiosurgical treatment (irradiation of the malformation).
This approach to treating large AVMs has proven to be the most effective.
Control cerebral angiography
After the operation for embolization of the vascular malformation, it is necessary to perform control cerebral angiography in dynamics (after several months, a year) to detect possible relapses of the disease. All types of surgical treatment of cerebral vascular malformations are used in the neurosurgical department.

Examination by a neurosurgeon is a key step in determining an accurate diagnosis and planning treatment for diseases of the brain and nervous system.
A professional neurosurgeon uses modern methods: MRI, CT, PET and others, which allow you to obtain detailed information about the structure and functions of the brain. Cognitive functions are also assessed.
The main goal is to detect pathology in a timely manner and begin effective treatment. The success of the recovery and the patient's quality of life in the future depend on this.
Neurosurgery is a complex field where surgical intervention requires millimeter precision. Any imprecise movement can lead to serious neurological disorders.
That is why the neurosurgical operating room must be perfectly adapted to the needs of the procedure. It ensures absolute sterility and protection against infections during open intervention.
Modern equipment systems help the surgeon work as efficiently as possible and guarantee the highest level of safety for both the patient and the medical team.
