About Strokes
A stroke happens when blood to the brain is blocked or there is bleeding in the brain. These conditions can lead to a lack of oxygen to the brain, killing cells and possibly causing brain damage. A stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.
Women are more at risk of having a stroke than men, and the risk also increases with age. Improving your overall health by getting exercise, losing weight and lowering your blood pressure may reduce your risk.
Personalized Treatment for Your Stroke
No two patients are the same. This is why your care team works with you to design a treatment plan based specifically on your needs. It includes everything from diagnosis to post-treatment support and prevention of future strokes. Your care plan may include one or more of the following:
- 24/7 interventional radiology
- Carotid endarterectomy
- Clipping and coiling (for brain aneurysm)
- Craniotomy
- Mechanical thrombectomy
