Our team employs the latest interventions to save brain function including:

Treatments include:

  • Cerebral angiography and intervention (angioplasty, stenting)
    A tiny surgical balloon dilates the artery, increasing blood flow.
  • Endovascular coiling
    Tiny coils of stainless steel are placed inside an aneurysm to prevent it from rupturing.
  • Intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis
    IV therapy to dissolve stroke-causing clots.
  • Induced hypertension (Hypertensive hypervolemic hemodilution)
    Combines IV (intravenous) medications and fluids to increase blood pressure and volume, allowing blood to flow through blocked arteries.
  • Induced hypothermia
    Lowers the brain’s temperature to protect cells from cell death.
  • Burst suppression
    An approach in which the brain's metabolic and electrical activity is significantly reduced with medication to treat seizures. (status epilepticus)
  • Plasmapheresis
    Removes and cleanses blood.
  • Ventricular drainage
    Allows cerebrospinal fluid to be drained so that it doesn’t cause increased pressure in the brain.
