Expert treatment for stroke

Our highly trained stroke care experts are well equipped to deliver life-saving care for ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and can perform the latest, minimally invasive treatment options:

Angioplasty and stent placement are used to open blocked arteries and veins.
Embolizing agents (clotting medications) are delivered by catheter to stop blood flow resulting from hemorrhagic strokes.
Thrombolitic therapy, which is also delivered by catheter, uses clot-dissolving medicine to treat ischemic strokes.
Minimally invasive surgery can be used to remove a clot, or repair arteries and veins.
