Cerebrovascular disease is one of the most common diseases in clinical practice, and patients with cerebrovascular disease also have a high risk of disability and mortality. Moreover, many patients with cerebrovascular disease are prone to recurrence. Patients with cerebrovascular disease often have concurrent hemiplegia, angular curvature, and eye deviation, which have a very serious impact on their daily life and pose a great threat to their overall health. Due to the high operability and complexity of clinical treatment for patients with cerebrovascular disease, it also leads to the occurrence of related postoperative sequelae.
In this situation, choosing an effective and scientific clinical treatment plan for patients with cerebrovascular disease is crucial and important, which can actively improve the prognosis of patients with cerebrovascular disease. Moreover, in recent years, the treatment method of neural intervention has gradually been promoted and used in the clinical treatment of patients with cerebrovascular diseases, and has also become one of the commonly used treatment methods for patients with cerebrovascular diseases. Now let's take you to learn about the relevant information of neurointerventional therapy for cerebrovascular diseases.
1、 What is neurointerventional therapy? In fact, when it comes to neurointerventional therapy, it is mostly applied in clinical settings for brain diseases, such as stroke and ischemic stroke that we often mention in our daily lives, which are a type of cerebrovascular disease. In the application of neurointerventional therapy for cerebrovascular diseases, doctors mainly rely on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) system to conduct imaging examination of the patient's lesion site, providing a clear surgical field of view and helping doctors make an effective diagnosis, thereby ensuring that doctors implement targeted treatment for patients. It is of great significance to restore normal blood supply to the patient's brain and ensure good treatment outcomes. And according to clinical practice of neurointerventional therapy, it has also been proven that using neurointerventional therapy does not cause significant trauma to patients. Moreover, compared to traditional surgical procedures, the various procedures of nerve intervention therapy are relatively simple and have very high safety, which can bring excellent clinical treatment to patients and will not produce a large number of complications after surgery. So, choosing neural intervention therapy has a very good protective effect for patients.
2、 How is neurointerventional therapy performed? Neurointerventional therapy mainly involves inserting tubes through the femoral artery and vein to treat the cerebral blood vessels in the patient's skull and neck. This treatment method is also between open surgery and routine internal medicine treatment, so generally speaking, it will not cause significant trauma to patients and has a very high safety guarantee. At the same time, with the help of digital subtraction angiography, doctors can accurately observe the condition of the patient's lesions and implement targeted treatment, which can restore normal blood supply to the patient's brain in a shorter period of time, thereby improving the patient's prognosis. In addition, during the process of nerve intervention therapy for patients, doctors also use urokinase, which can directly act on the endogenous fibrinolytic system, effectively promoting the catalysis and cleavage of plasminogen towards plasmin, and successfully degrading various coagulation factors in the circulatory system, comprehensively dissolving distal small thrombi, and achieving the best therapeutic effect.
3、 The advantages of neurointerventional therapy for cerebrovascular diseases
1. Fast surgical process and short hospital stay. Because neurointerventional surgery can be quickly completed in some urgent situations, such as in the interventional treatment of acute cerebral thrombosis, it can often be completed within tens or even minutes. In a short period of time, it can allow the patient's brain blood vessels to circulate again, and also prevent the patient's brain cells from dying in large numbers due to ischemia and hypoxia, ensuring that the patient's brain tissue does not suffer irreversible damage and saving the patient's brain tissue to the greatest extent possible. In addition, due to the short surgical time and minimal surgical trauma suffered by patients, the recovery time they need to go through after surgery is not too long, and they can generally be discharged within a few days. For patients and their families, the economic burden is also reduced.
2. Clear therapeutic effect, good efficacy, and wide adaptability. Especially for many lesions located in intracranial blood vessels, traditional craniotomy surgery often requires a very long time, is difficult, and has a certain disability rate after surgery. But if neural intervention therapy is applied, this situation can be easily dealt with, not only causing less pain to the patient, but also reducing postoperative complications, which can greatly improve the patient's quality of life.
3. Complementary and organic combination with traditional surgery. In the treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations, nerve intervention can be used first to embolize some of the malformed blood vessels to reduce their volume and blood flow. In this case, surgical intervention can greatly improve the safety of the surgery.
The above is a brief introduction to neurointerventional therapy for cerebrovascular diseases, hoping to be helpful to everyone!
