CHI Memorial Neuroscience Institute Endovascular Clinic

Our clinic specializes in treating vascular diseases of the brain, including:

• Aneurysms

• Abnormal blood vessels, such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and arteriovenous fistulas

• Blood clots

• Stroke

We also specialize in treating related conditions requiring cerebrovascular surgery, skull base neurosurgery and spinal reconstruction. Our certified nurse practitioner collaborates closely with Ghiassi to identify individuals who may benefit from minimally invasive treatments for blood clots or brain aneurysms. They ensure patients fully understand the risks and benefits of these procedures and provide comprehensive care throughout the preoperative, perioperative and postoperative stages.

This advanced technique involves using small, precise tools to access the brain’s vascular system through tiny incisions or natural body corridors. It is used to remove blood clots, repair damaged blood vessels and address conditions like aneurysms and AVMs with minimal impact on surrounding tissues, resulting in faster recovery and improved outcomes.

Our minimally invasive spine surgery techniques utilize the smallest possible corridor to access the spine. This approach minimizes blood loss, reduces tissue damage, shortens recovery time and decreases the need for post-operative pain medications, allowing patients to return to daily activities sooner.

Spinal reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to correct significant spinal deformities or misalignments by stabilizing the spine with hardware like screws, rods and plates. It often involves the fusion of vertebrae together using bone grafts to restore proper alignment and alleviate pain. This procedure is typically done to treat conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis or spondylolisthesis, where the spine has an abnormal curvature or instability.
