Dr. Ankit Arora

Overview

Dr. Ankit Arora is a Consultant in Neuro and Vascular Interventional Radiology, specializing in the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of complex brain, spine, and vascular disorders. He combines advanced neuroimaging with cutting-edge endovascular and image-guided techniques to deliver precise, patient-centered care.

His expertise includes the management of stroke, brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs/AVFs), vascular tumors, spinal CSF leaks, intracranial hypertension/hypotension, and complex vascular pathologies. He also performs specialized procedures such as aneurysm coiling, flow diversion, carotid and intracranial stenting, venous sinus stenting, tumor and uterine/prostatic artery embolization, and peripheral vascular interventions.

With a strong foundation in advanced MRI and CT interpretation, Dr. Arora ensures accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies. His practice is dedicated to offering patients the benefits of minimally invasive therapies—reduced risk, faster recovery, and improved outcomes guided by innovation and precision.
