Neuroform Stent for Wide-Neck Aneurysms
These stents are placed as an adjunct to coil embolization of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. Use of the stent allows treatment of aneurysms that cannot be managed by coiling alone.
Wingspan Stent for Intracranial Stenosis
The Wingspan stent system with angioplasty balloon catheter is a neuro-specific stent used to expand the lumen of cerebral arteries in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease that is refractory to medical therapy.
Onyx® HD-500 Liquid Embolic Agent for Wide-Neck Aneurysms
The Onyx HD-500 liquid embolic system is another tool for treating wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. Liquid Onyx is delivered into the aneurysm by a controlled injection through a micro catheter. Onyx is a polymer that solidifies within five minutes, thereby occluding the aneurysm.
NeuroFlo Perfusion Augmentation for Symptomatic Cerebral Vasospasm
The NeuroFlo Perfusion system augments cerebral perfusion, improving neurological outcome in patients with symptomatic vasospasm secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Penumbra Imaging Collaborative Study (PICS)
The PICS study is a multicenter trial to assess the outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients revascularized by the Penumbra™ System, a device used in mechanical thrombectomy therapy.
Hydrogel Coils for Intracranial Aneurysms Registry (GEL-THE-NEC)
The GEL-THE-NEC Registry is a multicenter, international registry studying intracranial aneurysms treated with hydrogel-bearing embolic coils placed at the aneurysm neck.
New Generation Hydrogel Coils for Intracranial Aneurysms Treatment Trial (HEAT)
The HEAT Trial is a multicenter, randomized clinical trial comparing intracranial aneurysms treated with bare platinum coils compared to new generation hydrogel-bearing embolic coils.
Neurointerventional Outcomes Database and Research
The purpose of this study is to monitor procedural data and patient outcomes to enhance the effectiveness of procedures performed in the department to improve overall quality of care.
