Embolization of Brain Tumours: Pre-Surgical Precision for Enhanced Safety

Embolization of Brain Tumours: Advanced Pre-Surgical Care for Safer Outcomes

Targeting tumours, preserving life — precision embolization for brain tumours.

We offer embolization of brain tumours as a minimally invasive, pre-surgical technique to improve safety and outcomes during tumour removal. This advanced procedure minimizes surgical risks and enhances recovery by reducing blood flow to the tumours, ensuring the highest standard of care for our patients.

What is Brain Tumour Embolization

Embolization of brain tumour’s involves blocking the blood vessels supplying the tumours to reduce its blood flow. This pre-surgical intervention shrinks the tumour’s size and minimizes bleeding during removal, making the surgical process safer and more effective. Embolization is typically performed for vascular brain tumour’s or tumour’s located in areas with high blood supply.

Who Needs Embolization of Brain Tumours?

This procedure is recommended for patients with:

  • Highly vascular tumour’s, such as meningiomas or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
  • Tumours located near critical structures in the brain where surgical access is challenging.
  • Conditions where significant blood loss during surgery poses additional risks.

Symptoms Indicating Brain Tumours

  • Minimally Invasive: Performed through a small catheter inserted into the blood vessels.
  • Reduces Surgical Risks: Decreases the risk of excessive bleeding during tumours removal.
  • Enhanced Surgical Precision: Shrinks the tumours and makes the surgical field clearer.
  • Shorter Recovery Time: Patients typically recover quickly from the procedure itself.

How Tumour Embolization is Performed

At Vanchilingam Advanced Neurology and Stroke Care, we ensure precision and patient comfort throughout the procedure:

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: Advanced imaging, including angiography and MRI, is used to map the tumour’s blood supply.
  • Catheter Insertion: A small catheter is inserted through an artery, typically in the groin, and guided to the tumour’s blood vessels.
  • Embolizing Agent Injection: Specialized materials, such as glue or particles, are injected to block the blood vessels feeding the tumours.
  • Post-Procedure Monitoring: Patients are monitored for a short period before being prepared for surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs on Tension and Migraine Headache Treatments

Brain tumour embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces blood supply to a tumour before surgical removal. This technique minimizes bleeding during surgery, enhances precision, and improves patient safety.

By blocking blood flow to the tumour, embolization shrinks its size and reduces the risk of excessive bleeding during surgery. This makes tumour removal safer, improves surgical precision, and facilitates a faster recovery.

Patients with highly vascular brain tumours, such as meningiomas or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), or those whose tumours are located near critical brain structures, are ideal candidates. It is particularly recommended for individuals at risk of significant blood loss during surgery.

Symptoms vary based on tumour size and location but commonly include persistent headaches, seizures, vision problems, difficulty with balance, cognitive changes, and weakness or numbness on one side of the body.

Yes, embolization is a safe and well-established pre-surgical technique performed using advanced imaging technology. It is minimally invasive, requires a small incision, and significantly lowers surgical risks.

  • Minimally invasive with quicker recovery.
  • Reduces surgical risks, including excessive bleeding.
  • Enhances surgical precision by shrinking the tumour.
  • Shortens overall recovery time after surgery.

Recovery from the embolization procedure itself is usually quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days. However, full recovery depends on the upcoming tumour removal surgery and overall health.
