CommonSpirit Neurointerventional Radiology Penrose
About
At CommonSpirit Penrose Hospital, our advancements in neurosciences and technology allow us to treat numerous neurological disorders that once required open neurosurgery, through minimally invasive procedures.
With 24/7 inpatient availability and timely outpatient access, our specialists are always ready to provide urgent interventions for stroke and other neurovascular emergencies, ensuring rapid and decisive action when every second counts.
Our Services
Our Neurointerventional Radiology program has revolutionized the treatment of many neurological disorders, offering patients less invasive options with potentially quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgeries.
As a DNV-accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center, Penrose Hospital’s neurointerventional surgery team is a core part of our stroke care unit and is composed of specialists in the endovascular treatment of critical cerebrovascular conditions, including acute stroke care treatment and beyond. We provide advanced care for aneurysms, ischemic stroke, and complex cerebrovascular malformations, delivering the highest quality of care to the most complex cases, offering evidence-based treatments with cutting edge research protocols.
The following are some of the more common treatments and conditions seen by our team:
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Our neurointerventional radiologists use catheters (thin, flexible tubes) and wires inserted through blood vessels (usually from the groin or wrist) to access the affected area. This allows them to treat conditions without the need for open surgery.

We treat a wide range of conditions, including cerebral aneurysms, stroke (acute ischemic stroke), arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid artery stenosis, and other vascular diseases affecting the brain and spine.
