Cerebral artery aneurysm Treatment in Mater Oblia Hospital

Cerebral artery aneurysm care at Mater Olbia Hospital in Olbia, Sardinia, Italy includes imaging, endovascular embolization, and neurosurgery. The hospital has a biplane angiography suite for minimally invasive neurovascular procedures.

Assessment with CT, MR, and Doppler imaging

Dr. Caterina Kulyk, an MD specializing in neurology and cerebrovascular disease, supports assessment and follow-up. She trained at the University of Padua and worked with a Stroke Unit and Doppler laboratory in Linz, Austria.

• Imaging and consultations: Options include CT angiography, MR angiography, brain CT, and brain MRI.
• Doppler ultrasound: Color Doppler checks the supra-aortic trunks, while transcranial Doppler assesses blood flow in brain vessels.
• Specialist assessment: Patients may have consultations with interventional radiology, neurosurgery, or the Neurology and Stroke Unit.

These tests support treatment planning and follow-up for vascular and neurovascular disease.

Treatment with biplane angiography and intraoperative CT

• Endovascular embolization: Doctors guide catheters and microcatheters through a blood vessel to the aneurysm. They may use coils, embolic liquids, balloons, stents, or endografts. The procedure avoids surgical incisions, and hospital stays are usually short.
• Neurosurgical microsurgery: Open surgery may include resection or repair, with neuronavigation and neurophysiological monitoring. Equipment includes an operating microscope, neuronavigator, intraoperative CT, and ultrasonic aspirator.
• Neurorehabilitation: Inpatient or outpatient programmes support recovery after stroke, severe acquired brain injury, or other neurological deficits. A team of rehabilitation specialists provides at least 3 hours of therapy daily.

Mater Olbia Hospital is accredited by the Italian National Health Service and Regione Sardegna. Its intensive care unit has 13 beds, supporting care around neurosurgical procedures.

Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.
