Interventional
Neuroradiology is a minimally invasive approach
in the treatment of vascular diseases of the central
nervous system. Conditions in the past that would
have required surgical intervention such as aneurysms,
vascular malformations, and tumors of the brain,
spine, head and neck can be considered for treatment
by using an endovascular approach to reach the lesion.
The Purpose of this Center is to provide a complete
range of services for the diagnosis, treatment and
rehabilitation of patients with neurovascular problems
of the brain and spinal cord. Patients may be referred
for consultation only, care in partnership with
referring physician, or complete management

to reach the lesion. Interventional techniques such
as thrombolysis are also useful in the management
of patients with acute ischemic stroke. These endovascular
procedures can allow treatment of previously untreatable
or difficult lesions. Our
team of Interventional Neuroradiologists are available
for consultation 24 hours a day.
We have a weekly Cerebrovascular conference to
review radiographic studies and clinical information
on cases referred to the Center for discussion
of treatment options.
We invite you to send cases.
