Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery
Vascular Neurosurgery
Vascular Neurosurgery covers the surgical treatment of intra and extracranial vascular lesions including carotid endarterectomy, and craniotomy for management of cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. Specialized monitoring and diagnostic capabilities include transcranial doppler and intraoperative angiography.
Endovascular Neurosurgery
Endovascular Neurosurgery at OHSU is provided in association with the Dotter Interventional Institute and the Oregon Stroke Center. Endovascular neurosurgery utilizes leading edge catheter and imaging technology for treatment of vascular disorders and tumors, without the necessity of a traditional open surgical procedure. This program emphasizes treatment of vascular disorders including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and stroke.
Interventional Neuroradiology
Interventional Neuroradiology is an exciting, minimally invasive approach in the treatment of diseases of the brain and spine. Conditions in the past that would have required surgical intervention such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and tumors of the brain, spine, head and neck can be considered for treatment by using an endovascular approach to reach the lesion. Interventional neuroradiologic techniques such as thrombolysis are also useful in the management of patients with acute ischemic stroke. These endovascular procedures can allow treatment of previously untreatable or difficult lesions.
