Neurovascular Program  

The Neurovascular program is committed to clinical and research excellence and is entrusted with all aspects of managing stroke and cerebrovascular disorders as well as the coordination of subsequent therapeutic strategies including surgery, interventional neuroradiology, stereotactic radiosurgery, and rehabilitation.

The clinical mission is complemented by an academic commitment to advancing knowledge through basic and applied research.

The management of patients with cerebrovascular disease is provided by physicians who are recognized experts in their respective fields. They have managed thousands of patients with these diseases and are known around the world for providing outstanding care to patients with cerebrovascular diseases.

We are on the cutting edge of care of patients with cerebrovascular disease and stroke. Our team has millions of dollars in grant funding from various federal and nonfederal grant sources that we use to investigate various aspects of stroke. Our goal is to find the cause of some of these diseases and to thereby enhance treatment and someday prevent them.

Among special services provided is the diagnosis and treatment of the following:

  • Aneurysms
  • Microsurgery and Endovascular Coiling
  • Vascular malformations
  • Arteriovenous malformations (AVM’s)
  • Cavernous malformations
  • Extracranial intracranial artery bypass
  • Acute stroke and occlusive disease management including carotid disease and carotid endarterectomy and stenting
