Outcomes In Interventional Neurology
Almost two years ago, we launched PubMed Journals, an NCBI Labs project. PubMed Journals helped people follow the latest biomedical literature by making it easier to find and follow journals, browse new articles, and included a Journal News Feed to track new arrivals news links, trending articles and important article updates.
PubMed Journals was a successful experiment. Since September 2016, nearly 20,000 people followed 10,453 distinct journals. Each customer followed 3 journals on average.
Though PubMed Journals will no longer exist as a separate entity, we hope to add its features into future NCBI products. We appreciate your feedback over the years that made PubMed Journals a productive test of new ideas.
Interventional Neurology – Improving outcome of neurovascular therapy Tissue plasminogen activators (tPAs) are used for treatment of stroke, aneurysms, stenosis, and vascular malformations. DO Charting Outcomes 2018. Interventional neurology should be looked at more as interventional neuroendovascular, ie lots of stroke stuff etc, and isn't all that similar to what a neurosurgeon's focus is. If you want neurodegenerative stuff then Neurology all the way. In this prospective, population-based study of the contemporary management of adults with AVMs in Scotland, interventional treatment and AVM size were independent predictors of progression to poor outcome (OHS 2–6) in the first 3 years after presentation or interventional treatment.
NCBI Labs is NCBI’s product incubator for delivering new features and capabilities to NCBI end users.
Neurointerventional Radiology (also known as Neurointerventional Surgery or Endovascular Neurosurgery) is a specialty that performs minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases of the brain, neck, and spine. Interventional procedures use state-of-the-art image-guided techniques to deliver treatments through a small puncture in the skin (percutaneous route) instead of open surgery.
Experience Matters
CRL’s Neurointerventional Radiology Section, also known as the “MN Brain Docs,” is a highly-skilled team of physicians that use the most advanced techniques to treat some of the most complex neurological diseases. They are supported by specialized neurointerventional nurse practitioners with many years of experience in neurology and neurosurgery. The practice has treated over 2,200 intracranial aneurysms endovascularly, one of the highest volumes in the nation.
Collaborative Care
The practice is located in the Neuroscience Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, the leading center for neurological care in the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest. Far cry 4 console commands. The Interventional Neuroradiology practice works closely with highly experienced neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuro-oncologists, intensivists, interventionalists, and otolaryngologists to provide complete neurological care.
Focused on Quality and Innovation
CRL’s Neurointerventional Radiology practice is at the forefront of innovation in the field, being highly involved in new device trials, outcomes research and the development of new technologies. These activities also foster a culture of safety and continuous quality improvements in patient care.
