Stroke is An Emergency!

A stroke is a brain attack. It requires immediate action. If stroke is suspected, call 911 immediately. Do not wait and see what happens or try to “sleep it off.” The faster you seek care, the better your chances for treatment and recovery.
Similar to a heart attack, stroke symptoms may not always be classic symptoms such as face drooping, arm or leg weakness or slurred speech. The first sign may be a sudden loss of balance or coordination, blurred vision or sudden loss of vision.

Research, Education and Clinical Trials
As one of the top-ranked centers for neuroendovascular research in the nation, we’re on the forefront of discovery and innovation that improves lives.
By participating in pioneering clinical trials, we’ve helped change the standard of stroke care and provided new hope to patients who otherwise were past the traditional window of time for minimally invasive treatment.
Through our educational conferences, we share the most innovative and evidence-based practices that are available to optimize patient outcomes throughout the country.
Join Aneurysm Research Study
We’re looking for people diagnosed or treated for a brain aneurysm and any of their biological first-degree blood relatives, (parent, full siblings, children) to join our Familial Brain Aneurysm Study.
Our goal is to learn more about the hereditary ties of aneurysms, and ultimately save lives. There is no cost for participants and the process is simple and straightforward and offers free imaging to first-degree relative participants.
