vascular

The brain represents 2% of our body weight, yet it receives 15% of the blood that flows through our bodies—more than any other organ. When blood flow in one or more of the multiple arteries and veins to the brain and spinal cord is blocked by a ruptured blood vessel, an obstruction such as a clot, or pressure from a tumor, the result is a stroke. Each year, there are more than 750,000 new strokes in America, the country's leading cause of disability and 3rd leading cause of death. Early diagnosis, the very latest treatment advances, and a team of specialists and internationally regarded authorities are critical to the most successful treatment.

ING surgeons who superspecialize in vascular neurosurgery have international training and experience in blood vessel abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord. If a procedure is being successfully performed somewhere in the world, it is available to our patients.
