Neurointerventional Radiology

The quick treatment of patients suffering from aneurysms, strokes or serious back injury can have a dramatic impact on the recovery of the patient. The Eisenhower Neuroscience Institute team utilizes a number of intervention techniques to treat the patient within the brain or vertebrae before they experience debilitating brain or spinal injury. In the brain, these treatments include dissolving clots, placing coils in aneurysms and inserting angioplasty or stents in narrowed vessels. In the spine, Eisenhower interventional physicians perform vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, procedures that inject a cement-like material into the vertebrae to stabilize a fracture and alleviate pain.
