Endovascular embolization is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a neurointervention specialist to block abnormal blood vessels.
⚙ How It Is Done:
A thin catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin artery.
Under real-time angiographic imaging, it is navigated to the abnormal vessels.
Special embolic materials (liquid glue, Onyx, coils, or particles) are injected to block the abnormal connection.
🎯 Goals of Embolization:
Reduce or completely eliminate abnormal blood flow
Prevent brain hemorrhage
Relieve symptoms
Prepare for surgery or radiosurgery (in selected AVMs)
✅ Benefits:
No open brain surgery
High precision
Shorter recovery time
Targeted treatment
Early diagnosis and timely intervention significantly reduce the risk of stroke or brain hemorrhage.
