The Edward Neurosciences Institute in affiliation with the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation offers world-class stroke care for patients who suffer strokes or have other neurological disorders.  The Institute features the most advanced drug therapies, interventional neurosurgery techniques and a $5 million state-of-the-art neurointerventional lab.

The lab features an advanced biplane angiography system that provides three-dimensional images and unparalleled quality for physicians and, for patients, reduces their procedure time, radiation exposure and time under anesthesia.  In the biplane lab, doctors can stop a stroke in its tracks and even reverse its effects.  In one minimally invasive procedure, a tiny catheter can be inserted in an artery in the patient’s leg, moved up to and past the heart and into the blood vessels in the far reaches of the brain, grab the clot and then remove it.
