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

• 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.
