The specialized neurovascular team is able to study brain pathology over 360 degrees enabling them to treat the disease without affecting the normal brain. The Institute has one of the nation's most experienced neurosurgeon and neuroradiologist studying and utilizing this technology. Cerebral aneurysms are abnormal blisters on arteries of the brain. Both conditions can break open or rupture, causing death or a devastating neurologic deficit. The neurovascular team at the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute utilizes the 3-D images to more accurately diagnose the problem and determine the best treatment utilizing either microsurgical or endovascular techniques.
Endovascular treatment is a great benefit to patients suffering from a stroke.
With the advanced technology, a microcatheter is placed directly into the blocked blood vessel and medication is administered to dissolve the clot, restoring blood flow and oxygen to the brain. This technology is also used for the treatment of brain tumors. Blood vessels that feed the tumor can be selectively blocked allowing surgical tumor removal with minimal bleeding. The New Jersey Neuroscience Institute at JFK Medical Center is a comprehensive center designed exclusively for the diagnosis, treatment and research of complex neurologic disorders in adults and children.
