Ali Mesiwala, MD, is an experienced California neurosurgeon who has engaged with the Chaparral Medical Group, Inc., as medical director since 2005. Respected in his professional community, Ali Mesiwala, MD was a faculty member at the “Fifth Annual International Meeting on Cerebral Revascularization” at St. Louis University in Missouri.
Cerebral revascularization is a technique used in cases of brain ischemia, which involves a blockage of oxygen-rich blood to the cerebrum. It is performed on patients with cerebral aneurysms, cranial base tumors, and occlusive cerebrovascular disease.
The objective of the procedure is to augment flow of needed blood to the brain. It addresses the fact that patients with ischemic symptoms, particularly poor collateral flow and severe hemodynamic impairment, are at significant risk of subsequent stroke.
Treatment pathways within the cerebral revascularization sphere include intracranial and extracranial arterial bypass. In addition interventions such as angioplasty, endarterectomy, and ipsilateral external carotid artery stenting may be undertaken as a way of boosting collateral sources of blood flow.
