Cerebrovascular Diseases

Advanced Training
All our doctors and surgeons are fellowship-trained specialists, meaning they have completed additional years of training in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.

Coordinated, Comprehensive Care
Our specialized staff coordinates the care of everyone who comes to Duke -- from an initial emergency room visit, through hospital care and your transition home or, if necessary, to a rehabilitation facility.

Emergency Diagnosis and Response
Our cerebrovascular team is the region's leading resource for brain health emergencies, including aneurysms and stroke. Speed of treatment is critical for full repair and recovery, and blood flow disorders in the brain can be difficult to diagnose.  

Regional Referral Center
People are referred to our cerebrovascular team from across the Southeastern U.S. to confirm a diagnosis or prepare a treatment plan. 

A Team Approach
Your medical team includes specially trained radiologists who capture and interpret images of blood vessels in your brain, neurologists who understand the role of the brain and spinal column in the nervous system, neurosurgeons, and other highly trained specialists. They work together to craft the treatment plan that is best for your condition.

Diagnostic and Imaging Expertise
As a leading cerebrovascular referral center, we use the latest diagnostic and imaging technologies quickly and effectively. These tools enhance our ability to review your medical situation and present the safest and best options.

Innovative Surgeries
From cerebral bypass surgery to less invasive therapies, we use the most advanced medical and surgical techniques to ensure you receive the most effective care.

Rare Conditions Care and Treatment
We regularly identify and treat diseases rarely encountered at most hospitals, including  moyamoya and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
