Interventional Neuroradiology
International Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology focused on minimally-invasive, image-guided treatment of medical conditions affecting the nervous system. The combination of state-of-the-art imaging technology with cutting edge surgical techniques has led to unprecedented success in the treatment of neurovascular conditions.
Specifically, interventional radiologists can now reverse the effects of the most devastating acute ischemic strokes with endovascular thrombectomy, which has been unequivocally proven to dramatically improve patients outcomes by averting severe permanent disability of death. At LAIIC we have an experienced, dedicated interventional radiology team that is prepared to treat these patients 24-hours a day.
