 Your chances of surviving a brain attack (stroke) have
improved.
The 3-D biplane cath lab at Southwest is making it easier for your doctor to
get an accurate picture of what's going inside your brain as well as other areas
of your body.
Interventional procedures refer to procedures done
using catheters and x-ray equipment rather than surgery. Neurointervention
can be used to treat
brain aneurysms, arteriovenous (blood vessel) malformations (AVMs), strokes and
tumors. In most cases, the patient goes home the same day.
