Stroke Treatments

Your treatment options will depend on the type of stroke you've experienced.

Treatment for Ischemic Stroke

Treatment for an ischemic stroke focuses on dissolving/removing the clot causing the stroke. Our stroke experts administer an IV thrombolytic medication, dissolving the clot and improving blood flow to the part of the brain that’s deprived. A minimally invasive endovascular procedure is performed in eligible patients with a large vessel occlusion, or LVO.

Treatment for Transient Ischemic Attack

Although a TIA results in the symptoms of a stroke and no lasting damage, according to the American Heart Association, you’re 10 times more likely to have another stroke than someone of the same age and gender who hasn’t had a TIA. As a “warning” stroke, a TIA is an opportunity to prevent a future stroke.

Once our specialists determine the cause of the transient ischemic attack, treatment focuses on correcting the cause, usually with medication to reduce blood clotting, or with a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked arteries.

Treatment for Hemorrhagic Stroke

Treatment for a hemorrhagic stroke focuses on repairing the cause of bleeding and relieving pressure in your brain. Our stroke experts use advanced, minimally invasive endovascular procedures or neurosurgery to repair the cause of the stroke.
