At the Department of Neurology, Christian Medical College (CMC) Ludhiana, we pride ourselves on offering state-of-the-art comprehensive stroke and neurointervention services. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, supported by a dedicated Neurointervention Lab, a specialized 40-bed Neuro ICU and Stroke Unit, ensuring optimal care for every patient.
Expertise and Facilities
Our team comprises internationally trained neurologists and neurointervention specialists who have extensive expertise in managing complex neurological vascular conditions. We provide a full spectrum of minimally invasive, catheter-based, and image-guided therapeutic procedures designed to treat a wide range of vascular neurological disorders. These advanced techniques involve small incisions, often just a tiny puncture, which significantly reduce recovery time and complications compared to traditional open surgeries.
What is Endovascular Neurointervention?
Endovascular neurointervention refers to treatments performed inside the blood vessels using angiographic guidance. Through this technique, our specialists skillfully navigate tiny catheters, wires, stents, coils, and other specialized devices via the vascular system to precisely target and treat affected areas in the brain and spinal cord.
Conditions Treated with Neurointerventional Radiology
Our neurointervention services effectively address a variety of complex vascular neurological conditions, including:
Stroke: Rapid restoration of blood flow when a clot or plaque obstructs circulation to the brain.
Brain Aneurysms: Treatment of weakened blood vessel walls in the brain that risk rupture and hemorrhage.
Brain and Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs): Correction of abnormal artery-vein connections that may cause bleeding, seizures, headaches, or neurological deficits.
Carotid Stenosis: Management of narrowing or blockage in the primary arteries supplying blood to the brain.
Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas (CCFs): Repair of abnormal connections between arteries and veins behind the eye, which can lead to vision problems.
Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas (DAVFs): Treatment of abnormal artery-vein connections in the brain or spinal coverings that may cause bleeding, swelling, or nerve issues.
Extracranial Atherosclerosis: Addressing narrowing or blockages in the blood vessels supplying the head and neck, reducing stroke risk.
At CMC Ludhiana, our commitment is to deliver cutting-edge, compassionate care through advanced neurointerventional techniques, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients facing neurological vascular challenges.
