As a neurointerventional and vascular specialist, my work focuses on conditions affecting the blood vessels of the brain, head and neck, as well as vascular conditions elsewhere in the body. For suitable conditions, minimally invasive, image-guided procedures may provide an alternative to open surgery. My priority is to review each patient’s individual circumstances, explain the available options clearly, and help them understand the most appropriate next steps for their care.

What Is a Neurointerventional Specialist?
A neurointerventional specialist treats conditions involving blood vessels in the brain, head, and neck. The specialist uses detailed medical imaging to understand how blood is moving through these vessels.
Some vascular conditions can be managed through a small tube called a catheter. It is guided through the blood vessels to the affected area. This may avoid the need for open surgery. However, the appropriate treatment depends on each patient's condition.

Put Brain Aneurysm on Your Health Radar
Did you experience the worst headache of your life? Thoughts could be racing through your mind. A brain aneurysm is a weak spot in a blood vessel in the brain that can change over time. The key concern is when an aneurysm ruptures, which can disrupt blood flow, affect brain tissue, and lead to serious brain damage. Controllable conditions like high blood pressure can increase this risk and treatment options can depend on the condition. Surgical clipping is one option that prevents blood from entering the weakened area. In many cases, minimally invasive treatments can also be used to restore normal blood flow and reduce risk. We have created structured guides to help you explore each stage in more detail:
A simple (computed tomography) CT scan could be just what the doctor ordered and the first step in early detection and prevention of a brain aneurysm. Come in for an easy consultation with our brain aneurysm specialist in Singapore to be on your health radar.
