Neuroendovascular Therapy

Neuroendovascular therapy is the minimally invasive treatment of blood vessels in the brain. Procedures are performed through a 3-millimeter opening in the leg or arm.

Angioplasty and Stenting
Angioplasty is a procedure in which a balloon is placed and inflated in the narrow portion of the blood vessel to open the artery.

Stenting is a procedure in which a metal mesh tube is placed in a narrow portion of a blood vessel to open it. A stent is a "bridging device" which helps to open and reinforce the wall of a blood vessel.

IA-tPA Intra-arterial Therapy
IA-tPA therapy involves placing a small catheter in the blood clot to directly deliver clot-busting medication to open the artery.
