Affordable Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Surgery Cost in India

At Medicover Hospitals, we offer advanced and affordable Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) surgery performed by highly skilled neurosurgeons. AVM is a rare but serious condition involving abnormal connections between arteries and veins, most commonly in the brain or spinal cord.

Our specialists use the latest microsurgical, endovascular, and radiosurgery tools to treat AVMs safely and effectively. We ensure accurate diagnosis, expert surgical planning and complete post-operative support for the best possible result for our patients.

What is an Arteriovenous Malformation?

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangled network of blood vessels that disrupts normal blood flow between arteries and veins. AVM surgery is done to remove or close this abnormal connection to prevent bleeding, seizures or stroke.

Depending on the AVM's size, location and complexity, treatment may require microsurgical removal, endovascular embolisation or stereotactic radiosurgery. The aim is to restore normal blood circulation and prevent life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

Key Takeaways

Why is AVM Surgery Done?

AVM surgery is performed to reduce the risk of rupture or bleeding in the brain or spinal cord and to improve neurological health.

It is done to:

• Prevent brain hemorrhage or stroke caused by ruptured AVMs.
• Relieve neurological symptoms like seizures, headaches or weakness.
• Reduce the risk of recurrent bleeding and neurological damage.
• Improve blood flow to the brain and prevent long-term complications.
• Treat AVMs that do not respond to medicines or non-surgical therapies.

What are the Benefits of AVM Surgery?

AVM surgery provides several important benefits to patients with vascular malformations:

• Prevents life-threatening brain haemorrhage.
• Reduces or eliminates seizure episodes.
• Improves blood circulation and brain function.
• Lowers the risk of stroke and neurological decline.
• Enhances quality of life and overall brain health.

• Type and location of AVM: AVMs can be located in different areas of the body like the brain or spine and their complexity and risk levels can differ.
• Type of Surgery: There are various types of procedures like traditional surgery, minimally invasive techniques or radiation therapy, that affect the overall cost.
• Diagnostic Tests: Some tests like MRIs, CT scans are needed to assess the situation before surgery, which can add to the overall cost.
• Hospital Stay and Recovery: The time you need to stay in the hospital and the recovery period can also affect the total expense.
• Surgeon's Experience and Technology: The expertise of the surgeon and the advanced technology used during the procedure can influence the price as well.

Different Types of AVM Surgeries and Their Costs

At Medicover Hospitals, the type of AVM surgery is chosen based on the size, location and nature of the malformation. Below are the main types of AVM procedures and their costs.

Microsurgical Resection

Microsurgical resection is a precise open-brain surgery where the AVM is completely removed under a high-powered surgical microscope.
It is performed to eliminate the AVM and prevent the risk of future hemorrhage or stroke.

Microsurgical Resection Cost

The microsurgical AVM resection cost at Medicover Hospitals ranges from Rs. 1,20,000 to Rs. 3,00,000 depending on the AVM size and surgical complexity.

Endovascular Embolisation

Endovascular embolisation is a minimally invasive technique in which a catheter is inserted into the blood vessels and special materials are injected to block blood flow to the AVM.
It is used to shrink the AVM or prepare it for further surgical removal or radiosurgery.

Endovascular Embolisation Cost

The endovascular embolization costs ranges from Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 2,50,000 depending on the materials used and the AVM's location.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

This non-invasive treatment uses targeted radiation to shrink and close off small AVMs without open surgery. It is recommended for small or deep-seated AVMs that cannot be safely removed surgically.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery Cost

The stereotactic radiosurgery cost at Medicover Hospitals ranges from Rs. 1,50,000 to Rs. 3,50,000 depending on the equipment and treatment sessions required.

Combined AVM Therapy

In complex cases, a combination of embolisation, microsurgery and radiosurgery is used for complete AVM management. It is performed to reduce surgical risk and achieve total AVM obliteration while preserving brain function.

Combined AVM Therapy Cost

The Combined AVM treatment cost varies between Rs. 2,00,000 and Rs. 4,00,000 based on the number of procedures and treatment duration.
