A stroke can happen to anyone at any time. In stroke, every second counts. Prompt action can prevent further damage to the brain and help someone make a full recovery. Our team of stroke specialists offer round-the clock care and an entire range of treatment options in every stroke center, including:
- Management of smaller strokes with medication.
- Minimally invasive (interventional) procedures.
- Neurosurgery, including carotid endarectomy, carotid artery stenting and BrainPath, which is a revolutionary surgery technique that treats a hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke while also preserving brain function. Learn more about BrainPath.
The care a patient receives depends on a few factors:
- Whether the stroke is caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a leaking artery (hemorrhagic stroke).
- Where in the brain the stroke occurred.
- How much brain tissue is involved.
Legacy primary stroke centers bring together the latest research and close teamwork between neurologists, nurses, therapists, pharmacists and case managers to ensure that every stroke patient gets the best possible care.
