At Medicover Hospitals, Hitech City, our neurology and interventional team successfully treated a 69-year-old woman who was brought to us with a severe and life-threatening stroke. This timely and advanced treatment gave her a new lease on life and prevented permanent disability.

The Critical Condition: Acute Neurological Deterioration

The patient was admitted in an emergency with acute neurological deterioration. Upon immediate evaluation, our team identified a rare and dangerous type of stroke caused by a severe blockage in a major blood vessel supplying the brain.

This condition, medically known as a watershed infarct, occurs when blood flow to vulnerable brain regions is severely reduced. If not treated promptly, it can lead to irreversible brain damage, long-term disability, or even death.

How Our Neurology Team Acted Quickly?

Dr. Ranjith, Consultant Interventional Neurologist at Medicover Hospitals, led the procedure. Using advanced brain imaging and vascular scans, our experts diagnosed the condition without delay. Recognizing the urgency, our neurology team decided to perform a highly complex and advanced neurostenting procedure, which is rarely performed in such critical stroke cases.

The Life-Saving Procedure

A state-of-the-art neurovascular stent was carefully placed to open the blocked artery and restore blood flow to the brain. The stenting was completed successfully and safely, with an immediate improvement in cerebral blood circulation.

Following the procedure, the patient showed significant neurological recovery. She was saved from permanent disability and is now gradually improving with rehabilitation and supportive care.

Doctor's Words

Dr Ranjith, Consultant Interventional Neurologist, said:

"This was a rare and extremely high-risk stroke. Immediate diagnosis and advanced neurostenting helped us restore blood flow and prevent lifelong disability. Timely intervention made all the difference."
