Coil Embolization
Coil Embolisation: Advanced Intervention for Vascular Anomalies
Coil embolisation is a sophisticated medical procedure used to treat various vascular abnormalities, including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and abnormal blood vessels. This minimally invasive technique involves the placement of tiny metal coils or coils combined with other materials directly into the affected blood vessel to block blood flow and prevent further complications. Dr. Devender Singh, a distinguished vascular surgeon in Hyderabad, specialises in performing coil embolisation with precision and expertise, offering patients effective solutions for vascular disorders.
Understanding Coil Embolisation:
Coil embolisation is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation and is guided by imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy or angiography. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into the affected blood vessel through a small incision in the skin, and the coils are delivered to the target site. Once in position, the coils are deployed, filling the abnormal vessel and causing it to clot off, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding or rupture.
Procedure Overview:
Preoperative Evaluation:
- Before undergoing coil embolisation, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including medical history review and diagnostic imaging to assess the location and extent of the vascular abnormality.
Anaesthesia and Access:
- Coil embolisation is typically performed under local anaesthesia or sedation to minimise discomfort.
- A small incision is made near the affected blood vessel, and a catheter is inserted into the vessel under X-ray guidance.
Coil Deployment:
- Once the catheter is positioned within the target blood vessel, the coils are delivered through the catheter and deployed at the desired location.
- The coils conform to the shape of the vessel, filling it and promoting clot formation, which occludes blood flow and prevents further complications.
Postoperative Care and Recovery:
- After coil embolisation, patients are monitored closely for any signs of complications, such as bleeding or infection.
- Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, with minimal discomfort or downtime.
Benefits of Coil Embolisation:
- Minimally Invasive: Coil embolisation is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis, resulting in shorter recovery times and reduced risk of complications compared to open surgery.
- Effective Vascular Occlusion: Coil embolisation effectively blocks blood flow in abnormal blood vessels, reducing the risk of bleeding, rupture, or other complications associated with vascular anomalies.
- Customised Treatment: Coil embolisation can be tailored to each patient’s specific vascular condition, with the ability to deploy coils of various sizes and shapes to achieve optimal results.
- Preservation of Surrounding Tissue: By selectively occluding abnormal blood vessels, coil embolisation minimises damage to surrounding healthy tissue and promotes healing.
