Vascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery

Hackensack Meridian Health is on the cutting edge of treatment for intracranial vascular disorders (disorders involving arteries within the skull), such as brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and stroke.

Our care blends high-end technology with the compassion that each individual patient deserves. We provide each patient with a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan. In addition to traditional surgery, we perform minimally invasive surgery as well as non-surgical procedures.

The Latest Technology to Treat a Variety of Disorders

We offer the latest technology for minimally-invasive treatments of intracranial vascular disorders, including:

• Coil embolizations
• Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
• Pipeline embolizations
• Stent assisted coil embolizations

Multi-modality treatment options (options that combine more than one type of treatment) for intracranial arteriovenous malformations:

• Embolizations with nBCA or Onyx
• Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
• Microsurgical resection

Neurointerventional procedures (minimally invasive image-guided procedures):

Acute stroke interventions

Angiography and embolization for brain and spinal arteriovenous malformations

Carotid artery stenting with distal protection

Cerebral and spinal angiograms

Dural arteriovenous fistulas

Embolization for Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas

Embolization for refractory epistaxis (recurrent, severe nosebleeds)

Intracranial angioplasty and stenting

Microsurgical Procedures

• Clipping of brain aneurysms
• ECIC (Extra-Cranial to Intracranial) bypass for Moya-Moya, complex aneurysms, and select complex tumors
• EDAS (Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis) for Moya-Moya
• Ligation of cranial or spinal arteriovenous fistulas
• Resection of AVM’s
• Resection of cavernomas of the brain or spine

Pre-operative embolization of brain and spinal tumors

Pre-operative embolization of head and neck tumors
