Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery

Our Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of brain aneurysms, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, brain arterial-venous malformations (AVMs), dural arterial venous fistulae (DAVF), carotid stenosis, intracranial stenosis, chronic subdural hematoma, vascular tumors of the brain, head and neck, epistaxis and Moya-Moya disease. We have advanced and pioneered minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of many of these diseases, allowing them to be treated easily, quickly and safely with minimal disruption of a patient’s lifestyle. We participate in and lead multiple national and international clinical research trials, which allow us to offer patients access to all of the newest and most innovative state-of-the-art technologies.

Endovascular Neurosurgery (Neurointerventional Radiology)

Endovascular Neurosurgery (also known as Neurointerventional Radiology or Neurointerventional Surgery) is a specialty area within medicine in which a physician called a neurointerventionalist performs minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat complex conditions of the brain, neck and spine. These procedures use advanced, image-guided techniques to deliver treatments through a small puncture in the skin instead of open surgery.
