Highlights of our program include: 

• Focus on prevention: Treatment often starts with medical therapies to optimize blood flow to the brain. If stroke risk increases, we may refer you to a neurovascular surgeon for a procedure.

• Endovascular lab: Our endovascular lab has the latest minimally invasive technologies. Neurosurgeons, neurointerventional radiologists and vascular neurologists use catheters to access the brain through a blood vessel, delivering precise treatments. We are one of the few centers in the country that perform endovascular procedures routinely through the wrist and groin.     

• Seamless care: For complex cases, neurovascular surgeons collaborate with other specialists like neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons, radiation oncologists and other specialists. 

• Innovation: Our specialists advance the field through research in minimally invasive procedures and stroke care. Learn more about our neuroscience research and academics.

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health is one of the few programs in the Puget Sound treating advanced neurovascular disease. Blood vessel problems like brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and fistulas can cause a stroke. We reduce stroke risks by repairing blood vessel problems.
