Neurovascular Care

Our experts offer a comprehensive neurovascular care experience, specializing in both open cerebrovascular and advanced neurointerventional techniques. Their expertise covers a wide range of conditions, including:

• Interventional Stroke Care
  • Minimally invasive procedures used to treat acute ischemic strokes, which are caused by blood clots blocking blood vessels in the brain. These treatments are crucial for restoring blood flow and minimizing brain damage. 
• Thrombectomy
  • Thrombectomy is a specialized interventional procedure used to physically remove blood clots from arteries or veins, typically in the brain. During a thrombectomy, a doctor inserts a catheter into an artery, usually in the groin or arm, and guides it to the location of the blood clot using X-ray imaging. Devices within the catheter then either capture and pull out the clot or suction it out to restore blood flow. 
• Carotid Stenosis
  • A narrowing of the carotid arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the brain. This narrowing, often caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), can significantly increase the risk of stroke. 
• Brain Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)
  • A brain AVM is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain, where arteries connect directly to veins without the usual capillaries in between. This can lead to weakened vessel walls and an increased risk of bleeding (hemorrhage) or seizure. 
• Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (DAVF)
  • A dural AVF is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins located within the dura mater, the tough outer covering of the brain or spinal cord. Like AVMs, DAVFs can lead to an increased risk of hemorrhage or other neurological symptoms due to abnormal blood flow. 
• Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH)
  • Intracerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke caused by bleeding directly into the brain tissue. This can be caused by high blood pressure, ruptured aneurysms, AVMs, or trauma. 
• Brain Aneurysm
  • A brain aneurysm is a weakened, bulging spot on an artery in the brain, resembling a balloon. While many aneurysms remain asymptomatic, a ruptured aneurysm can cause a life-threatening brain hemorrhage. 
• Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a serious condition where bleeding occurs in the space between the brain and the membranes that surround it (the subarachnoid space). This is often caused by a ruptured brain aneurysm and can lead to severe headache, neurological deficits, and life-threatening complications.
