How Do Doctors Reach the Brain Through the Wrist or Groin without opening the skull?
In this video, Dr. Suresh Giragani explains how Interventional procedures use the body's blood vessels to reach the brain. He discusses the two common access points — the radial artery near the wrist and the femoral artery near the groin — and how doctors navigate the blood vessels using their knowledge of human anatomy and medical imaging.
🧠 In this video, you'll learn:
- How doctors access the blood vessels leading to the brain
- Why the wrist or groin may be chosen as the entry point
- How catheters travel through interconnected blood vessels
- How advanced techniques make minimally invasive brain treatments possible
Modern Intervention allows doctors to reach selected areas of the brain through blood vessels, avoiding the need to open the skull for many procedures.
