Interventional Neuroradiology/Endovascular Neurosurgery is a minimally invasive approach to the treatment of vascular diseases of the central nervous system and spine. Conditions in the past that would have required surgical intervention such as aneurysms, vascular malformations, stenoses and tumors of the brain, head and neck can be considered for treatment by using an endovascular approach to reach the lesion. Interventional techniques such as thrombolysis are also useful in the management of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Many disease processes of the spine may also be treated utilizing percutaneous techniques. These image guided therapies allow treatment of previously untreatable or difficult lesions. Physicians from our group provide office visits and are on call 24 hours a day. Our service works in collaboration with the Neurosurgery and Neurology Departments at Massachusetts General Hospital to insure patients receive optimal treatment planning and therapy. This includes a weekly Cerebrovascular conference to review potential cases for treatment. CONTACT
