Specialists at a hospital in Jaipur used a relatively new minimally invasive technique to successfully treat a patient suffering from brain aneurysm.
Brain aneurysm is a blood-filled bulge in the vessel supplying blood to the brain.
The vessel had ruptured leading to bleeding inside the brain. Conventionally, such cases are treated surgically. But the specialist team at Narayana Hospital decided to employ the minimally invasive intervention technique after ascertaining the case.
“The bleeding inside the brain triggered severe headache, vomiting and loss of consciousness in the 35-year-old female patient. After multiple investigations, it was diagnosed that an aneurysm which had developed at the branching point of the middle cerebral artery, supplying blood to the left part of the brain,had ruptured causing slight bleeding.
The patient’s family opted for minimally invasive intervention instead of an open surgery due to lower chances of complication and risk involved in this line of treatment.
“In this case,the main artery supplying blood to the left side of brain was tri-furcated into smaller branches.The aneurysm position was such that two of the branch vessels were originating from its neck,”Dr. Prashant
Singh, interventional neurologist at Narayana Hospital said. “If this wide neck aneurysm was simply filled with a metal coil to stop the blood flow into it, chances of the metal coil dislodging and obstructing the blood flow to the brain was high, which could lead to brain stroke and speech impairment. Hence, the most feasible option was using pCONus stent assisted coiling technique,” he added.
The pCONus device is a stent like structure inserted in the affected artery which helps support the coil placed inside the aneurysm, preventing it from dislodging and is porous such that the blood flow to the brain is not affected.Via a small nick in the thigh or groin,the device was successfully inserted in the affected artery. “Such cutting-edge intervention techniques lead to early recovery and discharge,” said Dr Mala Airun,Zonal Clinical Director, Narayana Hospital.
