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.

Brain Clot Removal Without Opening the Skull!

Can doctors remove a blood clot from the brain without opening the skull? Yes, in selected cases, a minimally invasive procedure called mechanical thrombectomy can help treat certain types of ischemic stroke.

In this video, Dr. Suresh Giragani explains how doctors reach blocked blood vessels in the brain using tiny catheters and remove clots using specialised devices.

🧠 What you'll learn in this video:
- How doctors remove blood clots from the brain
- What mechanical thrombectomy is
- How a tiny basket-like device captures and removes a clot
- How aspiration catheters use suction to remove blood clots
- How doctors use imaging and contrast dye to navigate blood vessels
- How modern Neuro interventional procedures can treat selected strokes without opening the skull

Remember: A stroke is a medical emergency. Sudden facial drooping, arm weakness, or difficulty speaking requires immediate medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to improve.

A proud milestone for the Indian stroke intervention community. 🇮🇳🧠
This , we take a monumental step forward from relying on Western data to answering critical questions with our own Indian clinical evidence. I am deeply honored and proud to have been part of India’s first two multicenter mechanical thrombectomy studies: the PRAAN Registry and the GRASSROOT Trial.
For our patients, families, and referring doctors across the country, here is what this evidence demonstrates:
• PRAAN Registry (14 centres, 190 patients): India’s first prospective multicentre thrombectomy registry showed successful blood flow restoration in nearly 9 out of 10 patients, with two-thirds returning to independent lives—proving both clinical success and cost-effectiveness within our healthcare framework.
• GRASSROOT Trial (8 centres): Evaluating an affordable, value-priced stent retriever device in real-world Indian conditions—often in shared angiography suites—the trial achieved a 94% recanalization rate, matching the best landmark trials worldwide.
A heartfelt congratulations to our incredible co-investigators, multidisciplinary site teams, and pioneers across the country who made both studies possible.
Stroke does not wait, and neither should our health systems. Let’s work together to turn life-saving thrombectomy from an elite privilege into a universal standard of care.

🚨 WORLD STROKE DAY | BE FAST. SAVE A LIFE! 🧠

A stroke can happen suddenly. Recognizing the warning signs and acting quickly can make a life-saving difference. ❤️

Remember BE FAST to recognize stroke symptoms:

🔹 B – Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination.
🔹 E – Eyes: Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
🔹 F – Face: Uneven smile or facial drooping.
🔹 A – Arms: Sudden weakness or numbness in one arm.
🔹 S – Speech: Slurred speech or difficulty speaking.
🔹 T – Time: Time to act! Seek emergency medical help immediately.

⏱️ Every second counts. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek emergency medical care immediately. Do not wait for the symptoms to disappear.

📢 This World Stroke Day, spread awareness. Knowing the signs could save a life!

Dr. Suresh Giragani, Senior Consultant Interventional Radiologist at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, demonstrates the treatment of a fenestrated middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm in a 58-year-old man who presented with giddiness and a brief loss of consciousness.

The video covers key procedural steps, including:

🔹 Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
🔹 3D rotational angiography
🔹 Device sizing and deployment
🔹 An adjunct technique to address variant bifurcation anatomy
🔹 Follow-up imaging

This case highlights the importance of detailed angiographic assessment, careful device selection, and an individualised treatment strategy for complex intracranial aneurysms.

A challenging case of a 45-year-old man with a thrombosed prosthetic heart valve who developed sudden hemiplegia and aphasia after thrombolysis.
Imaging revealed distal ACA and MCA occlusions involving critical motor areas. Favorable CT perfusion findings led to rescue mechanical thrombectomy for DMVO.
A powerful example of how timely imaging, careful patient selection and endovascular treatment can make a difference in acute stroke care.
