Interventional Neurology

Overview

Interventional Neurology, also known as Neurointervention or Endovascular Neurosurgery, is a highly specialized, minimally invasive subspecialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disorders of the brain, spine, and head & neck using catheter-based techniques. These procedures are performed under advanced imaging guidance and provide life-saving alternatives to open brain or spinal surgeries. Interventional neurology plays a critical role in acute stroke management, aneurysm repair, and treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), significantly reducing morbidity and improving patient outcomes.
