About Vandana's Treatment and Recovery
Vandana's health journey took a serious turn when she was diagnosed with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST), a rare but critical condition caused by blood clots in the veins that drain blood from the brain. The sudden diagnosis was alarming for her and her family, as the condition required immediate and specialized medical care.
Seeking expert treatment, they approached Medicover Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, where Vandana was placed under the care of Dr Sibasankar Dalai. After detailed evaluation and careful planning, the medical team recommended an advanced interventional procedure to address the blockage. This timely decision marked the beginning of Vandana's recovery journey and her return toward better health and stability.

What is Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST)?
Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) occurs when blood clots form in the veins that carry blood away from the brain. This blockage prevents proper drainage, leading to increased pressure within the brain and potential damage to brain tissue.
CVST is a serious medical condition that requires urgent diagnosis and treatment.
Common symptoms may include:
Initial treatment usually involves blood-thinning medications to prevent the clot from worsening. In severe cases, advanced procedures such as thrombectomy are required to physically remove the clot and restore blood flow.
What Treatment did we provide to Vandana at Medicover?
At Medicover Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, Vandana underwent a successful Dual Sinus Thrombectomy and Angioplasty under the expert care of Dr Sibasankar Dalai and the interventional team.
This advanced endovascular procedure was chosen to directly remove the clots causing CVST and reopen the blocked veins to restore normal blood flow.
The treatment process included:
- Thrombectomy: Specialized catheters were guided to the blocked venous sinuses to safely remove the blood clots.
- Angioplasty: A small balloon was used to widen the narrowed sections of the vein and improve blood circulation.
- Close Monitoring: Continuous monitoring and post-procedure care ensured a smooth recovery and reduced the risk of complications.
The successful completion of this complex treatment highlights Medicover Hospitals, Visakhapatnam's commitment to delivering advanced neurological and interventional care, helping Vandana return to her normal life with renewed health and confidence.
