Treatments

Intracranial angioplasty and stenting

In this procedure, small, extremely flexible and soft balloon micro catheters with stents are maneuvered into the cerebral circulation through the femoral artery. First an angioplasty is performed, which opens the blocked artery or blood vessel by inflating the balloon. After the artery has been opened, a stent or small flexible cylindrical mesh tube is inserted into the artery to prevent further blockages.

Carotid and vertebral artery stenting

In this procedure, small, extremely flexible and soft balloon micro catheters with stents are inserted through the femoral artery and maneuvered through the vascular system into the narrow stenosis of the carotid and vertebral arteries. First an angioplasty is performed, which opens the blocked artery or blood vessel by inflating the balloon. After the artery has been opened, a stent or small flexible cylindrical mesh tube is inserted into the artery to prevent further blockages.

Intracranial thrombolysis

In this procedure a micro catheter is navigated from the femoral artery all the way into the intracranial circulation to the area of abnormal circulation or occlusion where a local therapeutic infusion is given into the cerebrospinal circulation.

Clot retrieval devices

In Time is a clot retrieval device that allows the mechanical removal of a blood clot responsible for obstruction of a blood vessel. This device associated with thrombolysis increases our chances to better manage acute strokes.
