Neurointerventional Surgery
At UPMC Hamot we have committed to providing state of the art treatment for conditions of the brain and vessels of the head and neck. The treatment options available are highly specialized, and UPMC Hamot is one of the few places in the country who offer this level of expert diagnosis and treatment options.
A Neurointerventional radiologist has additional training focused on the diagnosis and treatment within the brain and spine. These specialists offer patients minimally invasive treatments. These are designed to provide relief from debilitating pain, and to correct life-threatening conditions. The benefits to this type of treatment are often seen in a lower risk to the patient than invasive surgery, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.
