What is Endovascular Surgery?

There are three main endovascular surgeries performed by Neurovascular and Stroke Institute:

• Endovascular embolization using Onyx
• Endovascular embolization using coiling or Onyx
• Endovascular carotid or brain stenting

Pre-Surgery

You will be given specific instructions on the time to arrive at the hospital and where to check in. Once checked in you will be directed to a Pre-Op area where you will change into a hospital gown, and you may get white stockings to wear to help prevent blood clots in your legs after surgery.

Our endovascular nurses will talk with you about the type of anesthesia and pain medication you will be receiving, and IV line will be placed in your arm for fluids and medicines throughout your surgery.
