Types of Stroke Treatment
The choice of stroke treatment depends on the type of stroke, its severity, location, and the patient’s overall health. Common surgical and advanced interventional options include:
1. Mechanical Thrombectomy: A minimally invasive procedure used in ischemic stroke to remove large blood clots from brain arteries, restoring blood flow and reducing brain damage.
2. Decompressive Craniectomy: Performed in cases of severe brain swelling, this surgery involves temporarily removing a portion of the skull to relieve pressure on the brain.
3. Aneurysm Clipping or Endovascular Coiling: These procedures treat brain aneurysms that may cause hemorrhagic stroke by preventing rupture or re-bleeding.
4. Hematoma Evacuation: Surgical removal of blood collections within the brain to relieve pressure and prevent further injury.
5. Carotid Endarterectomy: A preventive surgical procedure to remove plaque from the carotid arteries, reducing the risk of recurrent strokes.
Stroke Surgery Procedure
The initial stage in the stroke surgery process is a prompt and accurate diagnosis using state-of-the-art imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, and cerebral angiography. These tests help identify the exact location, severity, and cause of the stroke. Following the development of a surgical plan, Dr. Gaurav Varshney uses minimally invasive techniques and modern neurosurgery to attain the highest level of safety and accuracy. While the treatment is administered under specialized anesthesia, vital brain functions are continuously monitored. After surgery, patients are continuously observed in an intensive care unit. Post-operative care includes medication, neurological monitoring, and early rehabilitation through occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy to support functional recovery.
