Doctors across the country often refer children with complex neurovascular conditions to us.
Using cutting-edge technology, we perform microscopic surgery. The procedure helps divert blood flow away from areas likely to bleed or clot.
The pial synangiosis is a type of indirect bypass surgery we perform frequently. It is also common to remove AVMs during surgery.
UPMC experts use endovascular surgery to remove a blood clot in a stroke.
In order to remove the clot, the surgeon guides a special tool through the tube that expands at the clot. A tube is then used to pull the clot through.
In spite of its name, Gamma Knife® radiosurgery doesn't involve surgery. Instead, it involves delivering high-powered radiation to a precisely targeted area.
In cases where surgery or other treatment options aren't appropriate, doctors prescribe blood thinners.
They also combine blood thinners with surgical and other treatments to prevent blood clots.
