Neurosciences Institute

It's a powerful partnership in the fight against stroke, aneurysms and other neurological disorders – the Edward Neurosciences Institute in affiliation with the world-class physicians of the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation.

The Edward Neurosciences Institute features the most advanced drug therapies and interventional neurosurgery techniques to treat neurological diseases. Neurointerventionalists can stop a stroke in its tracks, and even reverse its effects, utilizing 3-D biplane technology to extend the treatment window of stroke up to eight hours. A neuro-interventionalist inserts a catheter through arteries in the thigh, abdomen and chest and into the brain. Clear digital images guide the surgeon to the blockage so it can be dissolved or mechanically removed.

The Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation provides full-time neurointerventionalists, medical director leadership and 24/7 on-call coverage in concert with other independent neurosurgeons on Edward’s medical staff. Meet the team.

Beyond Stroke: Treating aneurysms, brain tumors and more
Physicians of the Neurosciences Institute treat the full range of neurological diseases, including aneurysms, brain tumors and vascular trauma of the brain, neck and spine. TheNeurosciences Institute features a $5 million state-of-the-art neuro-interventional lab with 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.
