Areas of Expertise

Acute Ischemic Stroke

Acute ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot or other blockage disrupts blood flow to a part of the brain, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients.

Cerebral aneurysm

A cerebral aneurysm, also known as a brain aneurysm, is a bulging or ballooning of a blood vessel in the brain due to weakness in the vessel wall.

Cerebral dural AVFs

A cerebral dural arteriovenous fistula (dural AVF) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins within the dura mater, the tough outer layer of the brain and spinal cord.

Brain AVMs

A brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels where arteries and veins are connected directly without the usual capillary network.

Carotid stenting

Carotid Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure to open narrowed carotid arteries and restore blood flow to the brain, reducing the risk of stroke.

Intracranial Stenting

Intracranial stenting is a procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries in the brain caused by conditions like intracranial atherosclerosis.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT)

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, leading to bleeding (hemorrhage) within the brain or around it.

MMA Embolization for Chronic SDH

It is a collection of blood between the brain's surface and the outer layer of the brain. It often results from a head injury that causes blood vessels to rupture.

Spinal cord AVMs

Spinal cord arteriovenous malformations (spinal cord AVMs) are abnormal connections between the arteries and veins within the spinal cord.

Dural Venous Stenting

It is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat conditions like intracranial venous sinus stenosis, which can cause increased pressure in the brain.

Head & Neck Vascular Malformations

Head and neck vascular malformations are abnormal blood vessel formations that develop in the arteries, veins, capillaries, or lymphatic system.
