Brain Aneurysm, AVM and Stroke Surgeryমস্তিষ্কে রক্তক্ষরণ ও ব্রেন স্ট্রোকের অপারেশন

A burst brain aneurysm is one of the most serious emergencies in medicine. Dr. Zico has clipped 225 aneurysms, including giant and multiple ruptured aneurysms, and performs brain bypass (EC-IC bypass), AVM surgery and carotid endarterectomy.

Brain aneurysm clipping

ব্রেইন অ্যানিউরিজম
225operations

An aneurysm is a weak, ballooned spot on a brain artery. If it bursts it bleeds around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage). A ruptured aneurysm must be secured quickly because a second bleed is often fatal.

Brain aneurysm clipping

Common symptoms

  • Sudden, severe headache (হঠাৎ তীব্র মাথাব্যথা)
  • Vomiting, neck stiffness, fainting
  • Drooping eyelid or double vision
  • Seizure or loss of consciousness

When surgery is considered

  • A ruptured aneurysm
  • Unruptured aneurysms with high risk features (size, shape, location)

How Dr. Zico treats it

In aneurysm clipping, a tiny titanium clip is placed across the neck of the aneurysm under the microscope, closing it off while keeping the artery open. Some aneurysms are treated from inside the vessel (coiling); the choice depends on the aneurysm's shape and location.

Brain aneurysm surgery by clipping is Dr. Zico's largest vascular experience. Subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment needs a team that can act within hours.

AVM (arteriovenous malformation)

AVM
20operations

An AVM is a tangle of abnormal vessels where arteries connect directly to veins. It can bleed or cause seizures, often in young people.

AVM (arteriovenous malformation)

Common symptoms

  • Bleeding in the brain
  • Seizures
  • Headache

When surgery is considered

  • AVMs that have bled and can be removed safely

How Dr. Zico treats it

AVM treatment is chosen from surgery, endovascular treatment and radiosurgery, alone or combined, depending on size and location.

AVM treatment is planned together with interventional and radiosurgery colleagues.

Brain bypass (EC-IC bypass)

Heart bypass is well known; the brain can have a bypass too. In EC-IC bypass an artery from the scalp is joined to a brain artery to bring in extra blood when a main artery is blocked or must be closed to treat a complex aneurysm.

Brain bypass (EC-IC bypass)

Common symptoms

  • Repeated mini-strokes from a blocked artery with poor blood flow
  • Moyamoya-type narrowing
  • Complex aneurysms needing the parent artery closed

When surgery is considered

  • Selected patients after detailed blood-flow studies

How Dr. Zico treats it

Dr. Zico has performed 16 EC-IC bypass operations. Bypass needs fine microsurgical stitching of vessels about 1 to 2 mm wide.

EC-IC bypass surgery, often called brain bypass surgery, is done for a small group of carefully selected patients.

Carotid endarterectomy (stroke prevention)

Narrowing of the carotid artery in the neck is a common cause of stroke. Carotid endarterectomy removes the fatty plaque to prevent a future stroke.

Carotid endarterectomy (stroke prevention)

Common symptoms

  • A mini-stroke (TIA): brief weakness, numbness or loss of speech
  • Brief loss of vision in one eye

When surgery is considered

  • Significant carotid narrowing with symptoms

How Dr. Zico treats it

The artery is opened, the plaque removed and the artery closed, under careful blood-flow monitoring.

Carotid endarterectomy lowers the risk of a future stroke when the artery is badly narrowed.

ঘাড়ের ক্যারোটিড রক্তনালী সরু হলে ব্রেন স্ট্রোক হতে পারে। অপারেশনে জমে থাকা চর্বি সরিয়ে স্ট্রোকের ঝুঁকি কমানো হয়।

Questions patients ask

সাধারণ প্রশ্ন ও উত্তর
When is stroke surgery needed?

Most strokes are treated with medicines. Surgery is needed for bleeding from an aneurysm or AVM, some large bleeds or swelling that threaten life, and for carotid narrowing or poor blood flow in selected patients.

Clipping or coiling for an aneurysm?

Both are effective. The choice depends on the aneurysm's shape, size, location and the patient's condition. Some aneurysms are better suited to clipping, others to coiling.

ব্রেন স্ট্রোকের অপারেশন কখন লাগে?

বেশিরভাগ স্ট্রোকের চিকিৎসা ওষুধে হয়। তবে অ্যানিউরিজম বা AVM থেকে রক্তক্ষরণ, বড় রক্তক্ষরণে মস্তিষ্ক ফুলে যাওয়া বা ক্যারোটিড সরু হলে অপারেশন লাগতে পারে।
