Neurovascular (cerebrovascular) surgery research and innovation

Mayo Clinic is one of the largest research centers for cerebrovascular diseases in the United States. Our physician-scientists and other researchers are leaders in advancing the understanding of aneurysms, stroke and other cerebrovascular conditions. They're committed to doing research that improves diagnosis and therapies for many different conditions that affect nerves, brain and blood flow. They:

Study potential treatments and better ways to predict risk of hemorrhage in people with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Lead international studies into brain aneurysm diagnoses and treatment techniques dating back to 1991. This research has helped specialists more reliably determine brain aneurysms needing immediate treatment.
Examine how to individualize the treatment of people with aneurysms who are undergoing flow diversion therapy. By using advanced research methods such as next-gen sequencing, bioinformatics and computational modeling, researchers aim to improve the outcomes for people who have this treatment.

Talk with your doctor about potential new diagnostic and therapeutic advances that might benefit you and whether you are eligible for any cerebrovascular clinical trials.
