Stroke Center
The Stroke Center is dedicated to providing rapid, comprehensive care for individuals experiencing stroke and related neurological emergencies.
Our team of board-certified neurologists, neurointerventional specialists, neurosurgeons, and rehabilitation experts offers state-of-the-art treatment and rehabilitation services aimed at minimizing brain damage, maximizing recovery, and preventing future strokes.
We are committed to delivering personalized, patient-centered care to help patients regain independence and improve their quality of life following a stroke.
Comprehensive Stroke Care Services
Our Stroke Center offers a wide range of services to address the needs of patients at every stage of stroke care—from emergency treatment to long-term rehabilitation:
• Emergency Stroke Response and Treatment:
Rapid assessment and treatment for acute stroke symptoms, including immediate access to advanced imaging, clot-busting medications (thrombolytics), and mechanical thrombectomy.
Our stroke team is available 24/7 to provide life-saving interventions that minimize brain damage and improve outcomes.
• Neuroimaging and Diagnostic Services:
State-of-the-art imaging techniques, including CT scans, MRI, and angiography, to accurately diagnose the type and location of the stroke, assess the extent of brain damage, and guide treatment decisions.
Our imaging capabilities allow for quick and precise evaluation in the critical moments following a stroke.
• Mechanical Thrombectomy:
A minimally invasive procedure used to remove blood clots from the brain’s blood vessels in cases of ischemic stroke.
Our neurointerventional specialists use advanced techniques to restore blood flow and minimize brain damage.
• Intracerebral Hemorrhage Management:
Expert care for patients with hemorrhagic stroke, including monitoring, blood pressure management, and surgical interventions such as craniotomy or minimally invasive clot evacuation.
Our team works to control bleeding and reduce pressure on the brain.
• Carotid Artery Stenting and Endarterectomy:
Surgical and minimally invasive procedures to treat carotid artery disease, a leading cause of stroke.
These treatments help prevent future strokes by removing or stabilizing plaque that narrows the arteries supplying blood to the brain.
• Aneurysm Treatment:
Specialized care for brain aneurysms, including endovascular coiling, flow diversion, and surgical clipping.
Our team provides comprehensive treatment to prevent aneurysm rupture and associated stroke risk.
• Stroke Prevention and Risk Factor Management:
Ongoing care for patients at risk of stroke, including management of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
We offer personalized plans for lifestyle modification, medication management, and routine monitoring to reduce the likelihood of future strokes.
