North Carolina Neuroendovascular

We use procedures such as cerebral angiograms, embolization, stenting, thrombectomies and spinal angiograms to treat conditions such as: 

• Brain aneurysm (a blood vessel in the brain that develops a bulge that fills with blood)
• Subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding between the brain and the surrounding membrane) 
• Stroke  
• Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) (brain or spinal) (a tangle of veins that disrupts blood flow)
• Arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) (brain or spinal) (an abnormal connection between a vein and an artery)
• Carotid stenosis (narrowing of the carotid artery)
• Carotid and vertebral artery dissection (tears in the artery)
• Head/neck arterial and venous stenosis (narrowing or blocking of the veins)
• Pulsatile tinnitus (rhythmic sound or whooshing as a symptom of blood flow changes)
• Chronic subdural hematoma (collection of blood on the surface of the brain)
• Treatment-resistant epistaxis (recurrent nosebleed)
• Certain brain and spinal tumors (preoperative embolization) 
• Pseudotumor (idiopathic intracranial hypertension, high pressure around the brain)
