Highlights

Multidisciplinary approach to Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) and Aneurysm
Surgical treatment of Cerebrovascular Disease
Stroke

Overview

The Neurosurgical Center’s surgeons have performed more than 1,500 craniotomies for the microsurgical clipping of aneurysms and have removed more then 280 arteriovenous malformations. Research and studies on hemorrhagic stroke and intraventricular hemorrhage are sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Taken together, hemorrhagic and occlusive stroke constitute the most common cause of neurological disability in the United States. At the VCU Health System, we have assembled a dedicated multi-disciplinary team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, interventional neuroradiologists, rehabilitation physicians and neuroscience nurses to provide “state-of-the-art therapy” across the entire spectrum of strokes and stroke-related conditions.

Members of our group have an extensive track record in NIH-sponsored ischemia pathophysiology research, and research to evaluate new therapies for stroke. Our comprehensive neurovascular and neurotrauma care programs offer the best acute care available in the mid-Atlantic region to patients at risk of brain damage due to established or incipient stroke.
