Advanced Neurovascular Care by Dr. Laxmikant Bhople & Dr. Sandeep Gore
AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation)
An Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain that bypasses normal capillary circulation. As a result, high-pressure blood flows directly into veins, significantly increasing the risk of brain hemorrhage.
In many cases, AVMs remain undetected until symptoms appear suddenly. Therefore, early diagnosis and expert neurovascular treatment are essential to prevent life-threatening complications and permanent neurological damage.
Keeping this critical risk in focus, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore offers advanced AVM treatment in Nanded with a strong emphasis on precision, safety, and long-term neurological preservation.
Causes & Risk Factors of Brain AVM
Brain AVMs are usually congenital. However, symptoms may develop later in life. Common risk factors include:
- Congenital vascular abnormalities
- Increased blood pressure within malformed vessels
- Weakening of blood vessel walls
- Associated aneurysm formation
Because AVMs behave unpredictably, regular monitoring and expert evaluation are crucial.
Symptoms of Brain AVM
AVM symptoms can vary widely depending on size and location. In some cases, patients remain asymptomatic until bleeding occurs. Common symptoms include:
- Sudden severe headache
- Seizures
- Weakness or paralysis
- Vision or speech difficulties
- Loss of consciousness
- Brain hemorrhage
If any of these symptoms appear, immediate neurosurgical consultation is strongly advised.
Advanced AVM Treatment Options
AVM treatment requires careful planning and specialized neurovascular expertise. Accordingly, Dr. Laxmikant Bhopleand Dr. Sandeep Gore follows evidence-based treatment protocols customized for each patient.
Microsurgical AVM Removal
In suitable cases, open microsurgical excision is performed. As a result, the abnormal vessels are completely removed, eliminating the risk of future bleeding.
Endovascular & Hybrid Treatment Planning
Certain AVMs require staged or combined treatment. Therefore, endovascular techniques may be used before surgery to reduce blood flow and improve safety.
Hemorrhage Management
If AVM rupture causes brain bleeding, emergency neurosurgical intervention is provided. Consequently, pressure on the brain is relieved and further damage is prevented.
Conservative Monitoring
For select low-risk AVMs, observation may be advised. In such cases, regular imaging and neurological follow-up are maintained.
Expertise of Dr. Laxmikant Bhople & Dr. Sandeep Gore
With over 9 years of experience in advanced neurosurgery and neurovascular procedures, Dr. Laxmikant Bhople and Dr. Sandeep Gore with over 14 years of experience in spine surgery, has managed complex AVM and brain hemorrhage cases with precision. In addition to surgical skill, he emphasizes detailed risk assessment and patient counseling.
Moreover, his goal remains long-term safety, neurological preservation, and improved quality of life.
Benefits of Timely AVM Treatment
- Reduced risk of brain hemorrhage
- Prevention of stroke and seizures
- Preservation of neurological function
- Improved long-term outcomes
- Personalized neurovascular care
Because AVM rupture can be fatal, timely expert intervention is essential.
Recovery & Post-Treatment Care
Recovery following AVM treatment depends on the complexity of the condition. Initially, patients are closely monitored in a neurocritical setting. Subsequently, rehabilitation and follow-up imaging are planned.
Through continuous monitoring, recurrence risk is minimized and neurological recovery is optimized.
