Cerebrovascular and Stroke Surgery

The cerebrovascular specialists at Baylor Medicine are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with disorders of the arteries and vessels in the brain, neck and spine such as:

• Acute ischemic stroke
• Brain aneurysms
• Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
• Carotid stenosis
• Cavernous malformations
• Dural arteriovenous (AV) fistulas
• Endovascular neurosurgical oncology
• Moyamoya disease
• Spinal vascular malformations

Some cases are best treated with open microsurgery, while others are best treated with a less invasive endovascular approach in which brain vessels are treated from inside the blood vessel and accessed through a small puncture in the patient’s leg. A team of expert physicians, including highly specialized neurosurgeons, vascular neurologists, nurses and therapists provide state-of-the-art treatments combined with compassionate, patient-centered care.
