Neurovascular Surgery and Endovascular Neurosurgery
 This
Division represents a comprehensive approach to cerebrovascular disease
that includes microsurgery, endovascular embolization techniques for
aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, and stereotactic radiosurgery
for brain AVMs using the Gamma Knife and X Knife (LINAC based). In
addition, clinical experience is available in microsurgery for stroke
prevention, as well as carotid endarterectomy and balloon angioplasty
of the carotid artery if patients are not candidates for open surgical
procedures.
Within the past year, over four hundred aneurysms and one hundred forty
one brain AVMs were treated, and twelve carotid endarterectomies and forty-nine
angioplasty procedures were performed. This represents a larger volume
of vascular neurosurgery than all other programs in the Philadelphia region
combined.
