Endovascular Neurosurgery
When you need expertise for critical conditions like stroke and aneurysms, UI Health is your destination for expert care.
The UI Health neurosurgery team includes specialists in endovascular neurosurgery — minimally invasive procedures to treat diseases of the brain and spinal cord — who are committed to providing you with high-quality care in a healing environment.
What is Endovascular Neurosurgery?
Endovascular neurosurgery brings together the skill and technology of neurosurgery and radiology to treat neurological conditions, specifically those affecting blood vessels. Endovascular and interventional neurosurgeons use images and catheters during minimally invasive procedures rather than open surgery. In some cases, this can result in shorter recovery times and more effective therapy.

Areas of Expertise
Aneurysm
UI Health provides expert diagnosis and treatment for aneurysms. UI Health’s state-of-the-art Neuroangiography Suite allows neurosurgeons to provide a full spectrum of care for conditions like aneurysms.
Brain AVM
UI Health specialists offer several advanced treatment options for Brain AVMs, which can – in some cases – lead to complications like stroke.
Carotid Stenosis
Also known as carotid artery disease, UI Health specialists perform interventional procedures to address carotid artery disease when the risk of stroke is high and cannot be managed by lifestyle changes.
Stroke
Every second counts during a stroke. As a Comprehensive Stroke Center, the Joint Commission’s highest level of stroke certification, UI Health provides patients with 24/7 expert care.
Venous Sinus Stenosis
UI Health neurosurgeons use a minimally invasive procedure known as stenting to treat narrowing veins in the brain.
Vertebral Augmentation
Procedures that stabilize fractured vertebrae designed to reduce pain.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Minimally invasive procedures performed by interventional pain management specialists that repair fractured vertebrae.
As an integrative program, our team of experts work collaboratively in the fields of cerebrovascular surgery, interventional neuroradiology and stroke neurology.
