A neuroendovascular surgeon in Lahore specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions involving the blood vessels of the brain, neck, and spinal cord. Neuroendovascular treatment uses advanced imaging and minimally invasive catheter-based techniques to access affected blood vessels through the vascular system.
Prof. Dr. Qasim Bashir provides specialized neuroendovascular and neurointervention in Lahore for patients with brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), acute ischemic stroke, carotid artery narrowing, intracranial stenosis, and other complex neurovascular conditions.
Depending on the patient’s diagnosis, treatment may include brain aneurysm coiling or stenting, AVM embolization, mechanical thrombectomy, carotid or intracranial angioplasty and stenting, venous sinus stenting, tumor embolization, and other neuroendovascular procedures. Cerebral or spinal angiography may also be used to examine blood vessels in greater detail and assist with treatment planning.
Neuroendovascular procedures are commonly performed through an artery in the wrist or groin. Because treatment is delivered through the blood vessels, many procedures can be performed without large surgical incisions. Recovery and hospital stay vary according to the patient’s condition and the procedure performed.
People experiencing sudden weakness, facial drooping, difficulty speaking, loss of balance, vision problems, or an unusually severe headache should seek urgent medical attention.
For evaluation by a neuroendovascular surgeon in Lahore, patients can consult Prof. Dr. Qasim Bashir at Bashir NeuroSpine Institute, Lahore.
