Cerebrovascular surgery
What is cerebrovascular surgery?
“Cerebro” refers to the large part of your brain and “vascular” refers to your arteries and veins. Cerebrovascular surgery is a specialized surgery performed by a neurosurgeon on the blood vessels that supply blood to your brain.
Sometimes referred to as “neurovascular surgery” and “cerebrovascular neurosurgery,” it’s a treatment for numerous blood vessel conditions and diseases. From addressing restrictions in blood flow to ruptured blood vessels and clots, a cerebrovascular surgeon can perform procedures to help treat vascular conditions on the brain or spine, including:
- Aneurysms
- Hemorrhages
- Vascular malformation
- Vascular brain tumors
- Cavernous malformations
- Carotid stenosis
- Cavernous carotid fistulas
- Strokes
It's crucial to your health that your brain has a clear path for blood to flow to it. When that flow is interrupted, brain cells begin to die within minutes. This can lead to inflammation or brain damage. By receiving a quick diagnosis and treatment for a vascular condition, we can help you avoid serious long-term effects.
