Brain and vascular conditions require immediate attention and expert treatment. The vast experience Dr. Kalpesh brings to Gujarat in traditional neurosurgery, microneurosurgery, and interventional (endovascular) neurosurgery makes him a valuable contribution to the field. Over 10,000 cases of neurosurgery and over 2,000 endovascular cases have been performed by him. He is the one most experienced in the state in flow-diverter stenting and intra-aneurysmal closure devices for cerebral aneurysms. His work includes the more recent therapies (such as aneurysm repair, coiling, AVM embolisation, and carotid stenting) that enable patients to heal with reduced risk and more quickly.
What Is an Aneurysm?
An aneurysm is a bulge or depression in the wall of an artery in the brain. Over time, blood flow creates pressure in this area, causing it to expand. When it breaks, it will result in bleeding within the brain, which is fatal.
Some of them may not show the symptoms until the aneurysm develops or ruptures. Signs and symptoms that are a warning of this include common symptoms like sudden severe headache, blurred or double vision, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck and loss of consciousness.
Early detection is key. Before rupture, complex imaging can be done to determine the presence of an aneurysm, either with MRI or a CT scan. Early treatment can be used to reduce the risk of complications.
Coiling: Minimally Invasive Solution
Coiling is an additional treatment used in the management of brain aneurysms today, which is one of the most effective treatments. It is an endovascular operation, and as such, it is done within the blood vessels without opening the skull.
A slender catheter is placed through the groin to the aneurysm. Essentially, small platinum rings are inserted into the aneurysm to prevent blood circulation. This avoids the enlargement or rupture of the aneurysm.
There are several advantages of coiling; these are:
- No open brain surgery
- Shorter recovery time
- Fewer complications
- Shorter hospital stay
Dr Kalpesh has successfully coiled several patients. His accuracy and extensive knowledge of the structure of brain vessels guarantee the superior results and safety of the patients.
Flow Diverter Stenting: Extremely Sophisticated Aneurysm Care.
Other aneurysms are either too large or have a broad neck, and coiling becomes less effective. Flow Diverter Stenting is the most appropriate in such situations.
A special stent is placed in the blood vessel to prevent the aneurysm. The aneurysm will be self-limiting. The process will decrease the possibility of rupture and offer a more lasting solution.
Dr Kalpesh is the most experienced in the state of Gujarat in terms of flow diverter stenting. His level of experience with such high-end vascular equipment allows patients to receive the ideal treatment of complex aneurysms.
AVM: The Art of the AV Malformation
AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation) is a tangled, irregular combination of arteries and veins of the brain. This interferes with normal circulation and blood flow. There are AVMs, which have no symptoms, and there are those that cause headaches, seizures, or brain bleeding.
AVM is frequently treated through endovascular embolisation, in which a catheter is inserted that passes materials that can block the abnormal vessels. This minimises the chances of bleeding and normalises the condition. In other cases, physicians use embolisation in combination with surgery or radiosurgery to achieve improved outcomes.
Modern technology has meant that many AVMs can be handled using less invasive methods, which means quicker healing and better livelihood.
Carotid Stenting: Fighting Stroke in the Future.
The blood of the brain is fed by the carotid arteries. The constriction of these arteries as a result of plaque deposition might cause a stroke. One of the new technologies is carotid stenting, which is used to open these constricted arteries and normalise blood flow.
In order to keep the artery open, a stent is inserted inside the artery. This is not as intrusive as the normal surgery; the recovery period is lower and it leads to a significant reduction in the risk of stroke.
Carotid stenting is suitable for patients with carotid artery disease or high stroke.
The Reason I chose a Senior Neurosurgeon?
Surgery of the brain and vascular needs superior accuracy, proficiency, and technological advancement. A trained neurosurgeon will be in a position to take up difficult cases with improved results. Dr Kalpesh possesses decades of experience in complex treatment, such as coiling, flow diverter stenting, AVM embolisation, and carotid stenting.
He has an extensive surgical exposure working on brain tumours, skull base tumours, traumatic brain injuries, and minimally invasive endoscopic surgeries. He combines high-level methods to minimise risk, reduce the recovery time, and enhance the quality of life of patients.
Conclusion
The neurovascular therapies of today, i.e., coiling, flow diverter stenting, AVM embolisation, and carotid stenting, have altered the treatment approach to complex conditions of the brain. These techniques are less dangerous, more specific and assist patients to heal more quickly. Dr Kalpesh is known for his commitment to high-calibre brain and vascular care, which can ensure greatly improved patient outcomes for those who require special care.
