Expert Care for Brain Blood Vessel Abnormalities |
What Exactly Is a Neurovascular Malformation?
- Dural AV Fistula – abnormal connections in the brain’s protective lining
- Cavernous Malformations – clusters of abnormal vessels that can leak
- Vein of Galen Malformation – a rarer type affecting deeper brain veins
What Causes These Abnormal Vessels?

Family history
Some types run in families.

Gender
Slightly more common in men

Certain genetic conditions
Like hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Previous brain injury
In rare cases, these can develop later
Symptoms That Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Sudden, Severe Headaches
we’re talking “worst headache of your life” territory

Seizures
Especially if you’ve never had them before

Weakness or Numbness
On one side of your body, almost like a stroke

Vision changes
Double vision, blurring, or even temporary loss

Speech difficulties
Slurring words or struggling to find the right ones

Dizziness or Balance problems
Feeling unsteady on your feet
- If you’re experiencing any combination of these, don’t brush them off. Your brain is trying to tell you something.
Who Actually Needs Treatment for This?
Your doctor found an AVM during a scan for something else.
You’ve been having seizures, and tests showed a brain blood vessel abnormality.
You experience persistent headaches, weakness, or vision changes.
Your malformation shows signs that it could bleed or rupture.
You want to prevent complications before they become life-threatening.
Patients travel from all over—Mohali, Chandigarh, Panchkula, Punjab, Himachal and even J&K—specifically to see Dr. Sidhu. Why? Because he offers AVM treatment without open surgery. That’s a game-changer for most people.
How Does the Actual Procedure Work?

Getting Access
Dr. Sidhu makes a tiny puncture in your groin area. This gives him access to your femoral artery. You’re under anesthesia, so you won’t feel a thing.

Navigation
Using live X-ray imaging, he guides a thin catheter (think of it like a very fine tube) through your blood vessels all the way up to your brain. It sounds wild, but this is exactly what interventional radiologists do every day.

The Treatment
Once the catheter reaches the abnormal vessels, Dr. Sidhu injects a special liquid agent. This seals off the malformation. No more abnormal blood flow. No more high-pressure connections.

Healing Begins
Your body’s natural healing process takes over. The blocked vessels eventually shrink and scar down. The risk of bleeding drops dramatically.

Recovery
The catheter comes out. You rest. And you start getting better.

Why Choose Minimally Invasive Treatment?

No large incisions – just a tiny puncture in your groin
Less pain – because there’s no major surgery involved.
Shorter hospital stay – most patients go home in 1 to 3 days.
Faster recovery – you’re back to your routine much sooner.
Lower complication rates – compared to traditional open surgery.
Precise treatment – the liquid embolic agent goes exactly where it needs to
What to Expect: Your Journey Step by Step

The First Meeting
You walk into the clinic. You sit down with Dr. Sidhu. You tell him what’s been happening. He listens—really listens. You leave with a clear understanding of what’s going on.

Getting the Full Picture
You undergo specialized imaging. MRI. CT. Possibly a digital subtraction angiography (DSA). These give Dr. Sidhu a detailed map of your malformation. He needs to see exactly what he’s dealing with before planning your treatment.

Customized Plan
Based on your specific condition, Dr. Sidhu creates a treatment plan tailored just for you. Not a one-size-fits-all approach. Something designed around your unique situation.

The Procedure
You come in for your AVM embolization treatment. You’re under anesthesia. You wake up, and it’s done. Simple as that.

Recovery and Follow-up
You spend a short time in the hospital. Then you go home. You come back for follow-up visits to make sure everything is healing properly. Regular check-ups ensure your brain blood vessel abnormality stays under control.
Recovery and Aftercare – What’s It Really Like?
- Hospital stay: Usually just 1 to 3 days
- Returning to work: About 1 to 2 weeks if you have a desk job
- Getting back to normal: 2 to 4 weeks for most activities
- No heavy lifting for at least 2 weeks
- Keep the puncture site in your groin clean and dry.
- Take all medications exactly as prescribed.
- Show up for every follow-up appointment.
