Emergency stroke care and endovascular treatment

Stroke & Neurointervention

Assessment and treatment of acute stroke, brain aneurysms and other conditions of the brain’s blood vessels at KIMS Hospitals, Kondapur. A suspected stroke is an emergency: call 108 or go to the nearest emergency department, not an outpatient clinic.

Treatments and procedures

All stroke & neurointervention

  • Stroke treatment

    Emergency assessment with brain and vascular imaging, then clot-dissolving medicine (thrombolysis) or thrombectomy when clinically appropriate, followed by monitoring, prevention and rehabilitation.

    Stroke treatment

  • Mechanical thrombectomy

    Removal of a clot from a large brain artery through a catheter, for selected patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke after clinical and imaging assessment.

    Mechanical thrombectomy

  • Brain aneurysm treatment

    Evaluation of unruptured and ruptured aneurysms with CTA, MRA or DSA. Monitoring or treatment is decided by size, location, shape, growth and individual risk.

    Aneurysm treatment

  • Aneurysm coiling

    Soft platinum coils placed inside a suitable aneurysm through a microcatheter, to reduce the risk of bleeding or re-bleeding.

    Aneurysm coiling

  • Flow-diverter treatment

    A fine mesh stent placed across the neck of a selected aneurysm to redirect blood flow. It needs careful planning and antiplatelet medication, and is not suitable for every aneurysm.

    Flow-diverter treatment

  • Cerebral angiography (DSA)

    Detailed catheter-based X-ray imaging of the brain’s blood vessels, used to assess aneurysms and other vascular conditions and to plan treatment.

    Cerebral angiography (DSA)

  • Carotid artery disease

    Narrowing of the neck arteries that supply the brain, which can lead to stroke. Treatment is individual: medical management for many, and carotid stenting only for selected patients.

    Carotid artery disease

  • Cerebral venous thrombosis

    A clot in the brain’s draining veins, which can cause headache, seizures or weakness. It is treated mainly with anticoagulation; endovascular treatment is reserved for selected severe cases.

Condition 01 / 05Emergency
Diagram: Acute ischemic stroke

Acute ischemic stroke

A clot blocks an artery that supplies the brain. Brain cells start to die within minutes, so every minute without blood flow counts.

Warning signs

  • Face drooping on one side
  • Arm or leg weakness
  • Slurred or confused speech

How it’s treated

  • Clot-busting medicine
  • Thrombectomy
  • Stroke unit care

Not every patient needs a procedure. Treatment depends on clinical findings, imaging, timing, risks and evidence-based indications, and an outpatient appointment is not appropriate during an acute stroke.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if I think someone is having a stroke?
Treat it as an emergency. Call 108 for an ambulance or go to the nearest emergency department straight away. Do not wait for an outpatient appointment or send a message through this website.
Does every stroke need thrombectomy?
No. Mechanical thrombectomy helps selected patients with a blockage in a large brain artery. Whether it is suitable depends on the type of stroke, imaging findings, timing and the patient’s overall condition.
Does every brain aneurysm need treatment?
No. Many unruptured aneurysms are monitored with imaging. Treatment is considered based on size, location, shape, growth, medical history and individual risk, and options such as coiling or flow diversion are discussed individually.
What is interventional neurology?
Interventional neurology uses thin catheters guided by X-ray imaging through the blood vessels to diagnose and treat selected conditions of the brain’s blood vessels, such as stroke and aneurysms. Like any procedure, it carries risks, which are explained before treatment.
Does carotid narrowing always need a stent?
No. Many people with carotid narrowing are treated with medicines and risk-factor control. Stenting is considered only for selected patients, depending on symptoms, the degree of narrowing, anatomy and overall risk.

Open Mon–Sat, 9AM–5PM
