Neurovascular Laboratory & Procedures

Patients with neurocritical conditions such as stroke, brain aneurysm, brain bleed and arteriovenous malformation (AVM) receive the latest minimally invasive procedures in our interventional Neurovascular Laboratory.

biplane This specialized lab, equipped with the best technology, enables our interventional neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists to work quickly and precisely – especially when time matters most.

Latest Technology for Neurovascular Procedures

The advanced equipment in the Neurovascular Laboratory provides faster and more accurate imaging. This speeds procedures while reducing patients’ exposure to radiation and contrast dye.

Features include:

Biplane technology – Takes two images with just one exposure
Digital process for quick imaging
Real-time 3D image – Lets physicians analyze image from any angle, improves diagnosis and treatment
3D multimodality matching of preoperative scans – enhances visualization of MRIs and CTs

Treatments Conducted in Laboratory

Among the interventions and therapies performed:

Intra-arterial thrombolytic (clot-busting) therapy with rT-PA – Extends stroke treatment window from three to eight hours
Intravenous thrombolytic therapy
Coil embolization, balloon-assisted or with stents
Mechanical removal of intravascular blood clots
Carotid artery and intracranial stent placement
Particle or glue embolization
Balloon test occlusion
Diagnostic cerebral angiography
Other tests and therapies for neurovascular disorders
