Advanced Care for Vascular Conditions of the Brain and Spine
Neurointerventional surgery, also referred to as interventional neuroradiology or neurovascular surgery, is a subspecialty dedicated to diagnosing and treating vascular conditions affecting the head, neck and spine. Our minimally invasive, endovascular approach utilizes microcatheters—small, flexible tubes—to access and treat abnormal blood vessels in the brain and spine. Many conditions that were once considered untreatable or required more invasive surgery can now be effectively managed with this advanced technique.
