The University of Florida Neurovascular Center is one of the leading comprehensive cerebrovascular/endovascular neurosurgery services in the United States. All aspects of cerebrovascular neurosurgery are performed routinely, including aneurysm clipping, carotid endarterectomy, resection of intracranial arteriovenous malformations, resection of spinal arteriovenous malformations, EC-IC bypass procedures, and combination open cerebrovascular/endovascular procedures. Common Neuroendovascular procedures include coiling of aneurysms, embolization of arteriovenous malformations, endovascular treatment of acute strokes,
embolization of tumors, intracranial and extracranial angioplasty and stent placement, obliteration of arteriovenous fistulae including carotid cavernous fistulae, embolization of vein of Galen malformations and other pediatric cerebrovascular disease, and vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty for spinal compression fractures.
