Cerebrovascular Surgery Center
Specialized diagnosis and treatment for cerebral aneurysms, cerebral arteriovenous malformations, moyamoya disease, carotid artery stenosis, intracranial hemorrhage, and other cerebrovascular diseases.
The Cerebrovascular Endovascular Surgery Center provides comprehensive cerebrovascular diagnosis and treatment within an academic medical center.
Specialized evaluation and treatment for a wide range of cerebrovascular diseases.
Endovascular procedures and microsurgical approaches can be considered according to each patient's condition.
Integrated care is available through collaboration with relevant clinical departments.
Comprehensive care for diseases affecting the blood vessels of the brain.
Cerebrovascular diseases include conditions that affect the blood vessels supplying the brain. These include cerebral aneurysms, vascular malformations, moyamoya disease, carotid artery stenosis, and intracranial hemorrhage.
The Cerebrovascular Endovascular Surgery Center at Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital provides both endovascular treatment and microsurgical treatment. Treatment strategies are determined according to the patient's symptoms, vascular anatomy, disease characteristics, and overall medical condition.
Neurosurgical specialists with expertise in cerebrovascular diseases and endovascular treatment evaluate patients and establish individualized treatment plans.
Both minimally invasive endovascular procedures and microsurgical approaches can be considered depending on the characteristics of the disease.
CT, MRI, cerebral angiography, and other vascular imaging examinations support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Treatment options for cerebral aneurysms include observation, endovascular treatment, and microsurgical treatment depending on individual risk factors.
Acute neurological symptoms can be rapidly evaluated through the hospital's emergency and diagnostic systems.
Relevant specialties and hospital services can work together when patients require complex or multidisciplinary care.
The center evaluates and treats various diseases involving the blood vessels of the brain.
A weakened area of a brain artery that may enlarge and, in some cases, rupture and cause subarachnoid hemorrhage.
An abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain that may cause hemorrhage or neurological symptoms.
A cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive narrowing or occlusion of major arteries at the base of the brain.
Narrowing of the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain and may increase the risk of ischemic stroke.
Bleeding occurring within or around the brain that may require urgent neurological and neurosurgical evaluation.
Other vascular conditions of the brain are evaluated according to symptoms, imaging findings, and individual risk factors.
Accurate imaging and clinical evaluation are essential for determining the appropriate treatment strategy.
| Examination | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Brain CT / CT Angiography | Evaluates brain structures, hemorrhage, and cerebral blood vessels. |
| Brain MRI / MR Angiography | Provides detailed information about brain tissue and cerebral vessels. |
| Cerebral Angiography | Provides detailed visualization of cerebral blood vessels and vascular lesions. |
| Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) | Enables detailed assessment of cerebral vascular anatomy when more precise vascular imaging is required. |
| Cerebral Blood-Flow Assessment | Helps evaluate cerebral circulation and blood-flow impairment in selected patients. |
| Neurological Evaluation | Clinical and neurological assessment is combined with imaging findings to establish a treatment plan. |
Minimally invasive procedures performed from inside the blood vessels may be considered for selected cerebrovascular diseases.
A catheter is guided through the blood vessels to a cerebral aneurysm, where coils are placed to reduce blood flow into the aneurysm.
A stent may be used in selected aneurysms to support treatment and help maintain the desired vascular configuration.
In selected vascular malformations, embolization may be used to reduce abnormal blood flow as part of an individualized treatment strategy.
Microsurgical treatment remains an important option for selected cerebrovascular conditions.
Selected cerebrovascular lesions may be treated through microsurgical access following craniotomy.
Treatment is determined based on lesion location, morphology, rupture status, vascular anatomy, age, and overall medical condition.
Endovascular and microsurgical approaches may be considered together or sequentially when clinically appropriate.
Acute cerebrovascular conditions such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage may cause rapid neurological deterioration. Prompt medical evaluation is essential when sudden neurological symptoms occur.
Patients with complex cerebrovascular conditions may require coordinated care across multiple specialties.
Neurosurgery can collaborate with Neurology, Radiology, Emergency Medicine, Rehabilitation Medicine, and other relevant specialties when needed.
Advanced diagnostic imaging supports detailed evaluation of cerebral vessels and brain structures.
Diagnostic findings can be reviewed with clinical information to establish an appropriate treatment plan.
Emergency evaluation and diagnostic services support patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms.
Patients with cerebrovascular disease and other medical conditions can receive coordinated evaluation within the university hospital system.
Appropriate follow-up and monitoring can be arranged according to the patient's disease and treatment.
A structured evaluation process helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient.
Symptoms, medical history, and neurological status are assessed.
CT, MRI, angiography, or other examinations may be performed.
The lesion and surrounding vascular anatomy are evaluated.
Endovascular, microsurgical, or other approaches are considered.
Treatment and follow-up are provided according to the patient's condition.
