Neuro Interventional Radiology (NIR) is a specialized branch of medicine that uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat disorders of the brain, spine, and neck. By using advanced imaging modalities such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and angiography, tiny catheters, wires, stents, coils, and other devices are guided through blood vessels to the target area.

This approach allows the delivery of medications, removal of clots, opening of blocked vessels, or blocking abnormal blood flow—often with less pain, shorter recovery times, lower risk of infection, and minimal damage to surrounding tissues compared to traditional surgery.

Common Conditions Treated:

• Stroke (ischemic or thrombotic)
• Brain aneurysms
• Brain and spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
• Carotid stenosis
• Skull base tumors
• Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs)
• Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs)
• Extracranial atherosclerosis
• Extracranial and paraspinal vascular malformations

Infrastructure & Technology

Kiran Hospital’s Neuro Interventional Radiology unit is equipped with world-class infrastructure and cutting-edge technology:

• Advanced Imaging: High-resolution CT, MRI, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and 3D rotational angiography for precise diagnosis and procedural guidance.
• Hybrid Operation Theaters: Fully equipped for minimally invasive neurovascular interventions.
• Catheterization & Microdevice Support: State-of-the-art microcatheters, guidewires, coils, stents, and embolic devices.
• ICU Support: Specialized neuro-intensive care unit with continuous hemodynamic monitoring for post-procedural care.
• 24/7 Emergency Services: Trained interventional radiologists, neuro anesthetists, and support staff available for urgent interventions like stroke or ruptured aneurysms.
