Interventional Neurology is a minimally-invasive surgical treatment utilizing microcatheters to embolize or recanalize abnormal vessels of the brain and spine. Also known as endovascular neurosurgery, neuro-interventional surgery, endovascular surgical neuroradiology and interventional neuroradiology.
MyMichigan's Interventional Neurology team offers expert care and treatment plans to treat conditions like strokes, aneurysms and spinal compression fractures.
Many conditions that were historically untreatable or required more complex or invasive surgery, can now be treated using this type of advanced surgery.
Some of the procedures performed by the MyMichigan Interventional Neurology team:
- Stroke - Acute ischemic treatment including thrombectomy (clot retrieval)
- Brain Aneurysms: Ruptured and Unruptured (Coil embolization Flow diversion or WEB device embolization)
- Spinal AVMs and Spinal DAVFs treatment
- Carotid Artery Disease Stenosis Treatment (Angioplasty and stenting)
- Intracranial Atherosclerosis Treatment (Angioplasty and stenting)
- Intracranial Vasospasm Treatment
- Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) embolization
- Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (DAVF) treatment
- Brain/head and neck tumors: Pre-operative Embolization
- Chronic or subacute Subdural Hemorrhage treatment (catheter-based embolization)
- Dissection of Carotid and Vertebral Arteries
- Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (brain venous sinus stenting in refractory cases)
- Cerebral venous sinus stenting
- Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis treatment
- Epistaxis treatment with catheter base embolization
- Lumbar drain placement
