About the Cerebrovascular Endovascular Surgery Center
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.

Cerebrovascular Diseases We Treat
The center evaluates and treats various diseases involving the blood vessels of the brain.
Cerebral Aneurysm
A weakened area of a brain artery that may enlarge and, in some cases, rupture and cause subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation
An abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain that may cause hemorrhage or neurological symptoms.
Moyamoya Disease
A cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive narrowing or occlusion of major arteries at the base of the brain.
Carotid Artery Stenosis
Narrowing of the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain and may increase the risk of ischemic stroke.
Intracranial Hemorrhage
Bleeding occurring within or around the brain that may require urgent neurological and neurosurgical evaluation.
Other Cerebrovascular Diseases
Other vascular conditions of the brain are evaluated according to symptoms, imaging findings, and individual risk factors.
Cerebrovascular Diagnosis
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. |
Endovascular Treatment
Minimally invasive procedures performed from inside the blood vessels may be considered for selected cerebrovascular diseases.
Coil Embolization
A catheter is guided through the blood vessels to a cerebral aneurysm, where coils are placed to reduce blood flow into the aneurysm.
Stent-Assisted Treatment
A stent may be used in selected aneurysms to support treatment and help maintain the desired vascular configuration.
Endovascular Embolization
In selected vascular malformations, embolization may be used to reduce abnormal blood flow as part of an individualized treatment strategy.
Microsurgical Treatment
Microsurgical treatment remains an important option for selected cerebrovascular conditions.
Microsurgical Craniotomy
Selected cerebrovascular lesions may be treated through microsurgical access following craniotomy.
Individualized Treatment Selection
Treatment is determined based on lesion location, morphology, rupture status, vascular anatomy, age, and overall medical condition.
Combined Treatment
Endovascular and microsurgical approaches may be considered together or sequentially when clinically appropriate.
Emergency Cerebrovascular Care
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cerebral aneurysms and cerebrovascular treatment.
Does every cerebral aneurysm require treatment?
Not necessarily. The need for treatment is determined
by factors such as aneurysm size, location, morphology,
rupture status, age, medical history, and estimated risk.
Some aneurysms may be monitored, while others may require
endovascular or microsurgical treatment.
What is the difference between endovascular treatment and microsurgery?
Endovascular treatment is performed from inside the blood
vessels using a catheter, while microsurgical treatment
generally involves accessing the lesion through a craniotomy.
The appropriate approach depends on the characteristics
of the disease and the individual patient.
What is coil embolization?
Coil embolization is an endovascular procedure commonly
used to treat cerebral aneurysms. A catheter is guided
through the blood vessels to the aneurysm, and coils are
placed inside the aneurysm to reduce blood flow into it.
Can cerebrovascular disease occur without symptoms?
Yes. Some cerebrovascular diseases may be discovered
incidentally during brain imaging performed for another
reason. Even without symptoms, appropriate evaluation
may be necessary to determine whether monitoring or
treatment is appropriate.
What symptoms require emergency medical attention?
Sudden severe headache, sudden weakness or numbness of
the face or limbs, difficulty speaking, sudden visual
disturbance, loss of consciousness, severe dizziness,
or other sudden neurological symptoms may indicate an
acute cerebrovascular event. Immediate emergency medical
evaluation is recommended.
What are the advantages of receiving cerebrovascular care at a university hospital?
University hospitals can provide access to multiple
clinical specialties and comprehensive diagnostic,
surgical, emergency, and inpatient services. This may
be particularly useful for patients who require complex
evaluation or multidisciplinary care.
