ApolloMedics performs rare pediatric neuro-intervention

Doctors at Apollo Hospitals===ApolloMedics Super Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, successfully performed a rare and complex neuro-interventional procedure, intracranial catheter-directed thrombolysis, on a two-and-a-half-year-old girl suffering from a life-threatening stroke. The child was diagnosed with deep Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) with multiple brain infarcts, a condition associated with high mortality risk. A multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Dewansh Mishra navigated a microcatheter through the femoral vein to deliver clot-dissolving medication directly to the site of thrombosis, restoring venous drainage and preventing further brain injury. The child, also diagnosed with Antiphospholipid Antibody (APLA) syndrome, made a significant neurological recovery after nearly three weeks of intensive care. This case will be presented at the Indian National Stroke Conference, highlighting the growing capabilities of advanced stroke care in India.
