Neuro-Interventional Surgery: Why Choose Memorial Neuroscience Institute?

When you come to us for care, you’ll find:

• Leading expertise: Our neuro-interventional surgeons perform a high volume of procedures. This level of experience is not often found in community health systems. Meet our team. 
  
• Multispecialty collaboration: Neuro-interventional surgeons work closely with specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurocritical care, neurorehabilitation, radiation oncology and vascular surgery. Together, they ensure you receive comprehensive care before, during and after surgery. 
• Advanced technology: Our neuro-interventional surgery suites (catheterization labs) are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. We also have access to the latest endovascular devices and blood vessel-blocking agents, including some available only through clinical trials. 
• Faster recovery: Minimally invasive procedures typically have a lower risk of complications and faster healing time. When possible, we use an artery in your wrist as the access point for surgery. There’s less downtime with this approach than entering through an artery in your groin. You can stand up as soon as the anesthesia wears off. 
• Exceptional stroke care across our health system: Two of our hospitals are Comprehensive Stroke Centers (the highest level) and two are Primary Stroke Centers. Our stroke treatment outcomes exceed national benchmarks for timeliness of care. Receiving rapid care is the main factor in how well patients do after a stroke. 
• Personalized approach: We tailor care to each patient, not just their condition. Our surgeons include you and your family in the decision-making process to ensure your care meets your needs.
• Pediatric care:  Our neuro-interventional surgery team works closely with pediatric neurosurgeons at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital to treat AVMs and aneurysms in children.
