The Department of NeurosurgeryAneurysm and AVM Program |
Brain aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are primarily treated by physician specialists in the UCLA Brain Aneurysm and AVM Program.
Under the innovative leadership of Neil A. Martin, M.D., FAANS, the UCLA Brain Aneurysm and AVM Program is a world leader for the diagnosis, treatment and management of vascular diseases of the brain and spinal cord. UCLA neurovascular surgeons collaborated with colleagues in diagnostic neuroradiology, interventional neuroradiology, stroke neurology, neurological critical care, stereotactic radiosurgery, and neurological rehabilitation to treat more than 12,000 patients in 15 years.
The program specializes in the management of complex central nervous system vascular disorders, including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cavernous angiomas, and carotid and intracerebral stenosis. Clinicians and researchers work closely with the UCLA Stroke Center, the first in Los Angeles County certified by the Joint ommission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) as a Primary Stroke Center.
As part of an academic Center of Excellence, the program offers opportunities for patients to participate in cutting-edge treatments sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. The neurovascular team is constantly analyzing results to improve outcomes and works tirelessly to provide the very best quality of care.
