In the last 15-20 years, significant changes have occurred in the world of surgical medicine, allowing for serious interventions in the body without traumatic incisions. One of the revolutionary achievements in vascular surgery is the method of endovascular embolization, which allows for the treatment of various vascular defects and diseases virtually without surgical intervention.
Endovascular embolization in Israel is a minimally invasive procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia. This technique allows for the treatment of vascular blockages, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, uterine fibroids, carotid artery cavernous fistulas, and even liver cancer and prostate adenoma.
This minimally invasive treatment method spares patients from complex vascular surgeries, allowing them to recover within a few days after the procedure. At Top Ihilov, endovascular embolization is successfully used for a number of pathologies.
Before undergoing endovascular embolization in Israel, the patient must undergo a series of diagnostic procedures. In particular, a comprehensive blood test, ultrasound of the internal organs, allergy tests, and other studies are required. If the patient is taking anti-inflammatory or anticoagulant medications, they must be discontinued a week before the planned procedure.
Endovascular Embolization of Aneurysm in Israel
The technology of endovascular embolization is most often used for brain aneurysms. The pathological dilation of blood vessels in the brain is fraught with rupture, leading to bleeding in the brain and serious neurological disorders, potentially resulting in the patient's death. Endovascular embolization of brain aneurysms in Israel allows for the removal of the aneurysm from the bloodstream without surgical intervention, thereby protecting the patient from possible brain hemorrhage.
How is endovascular embolization of an aneurysm performed in Israel? A small incision is made in the groin, and a catheter is inserted into the artery, which the doctors monitor on a screen. The catheter is guided to the aneurysm in the brain, and miniature coils are introduced through it, which block blood flow to the aneurysm. After this procedure, the catheter is successfully removed. After some time, the aneurysm is sealed off, and the patient no longer has the risk of rupture.
Sometimes, the neck of the aneurysm is too wide, and the microcoils may fall into the bloodstream. In such cases, special balloons are used to close the entrance to the aneurysm and prevent the coils from falling out.
On average, endovascular embolization of a brain aneurysm in Israel lasts 30-40 minutes. In particularly severe cases, the procedure may take several hours. Today, endovascular embolization of an aneurysm in Israel guarantees that the patient can avoid disability due to brain hemorrhage in the future. In this regard, Israeli doctors strongly recommend that patients undergo timely examinations to avoid vascular catastrophes in the future.
Endovascular Embolization Cost in Israel
How much does endovascular embolization of a brain aneurysm cost? The price in Israel for this medical procedure is almost 50% lower than in Western Europe and the USA. Thanks to significant government funding for medical institutions and a high level of healthcare system development, the prices for medical services in Israel are noticeably lower than those in Europe and America.
