At Hospital Auxilio Mutuo, we provide specialized attention to patients with cerebrovascular diseases.
Through minimally invasive techniques, we are able to diagnose and treat aneurysms, strokes and
other complex conditions with great precision and minor recovery time.
Endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive medical technique
that allows the treatment of blood vessel diseases from inside
the arteries or veins, while cerebrovascular or neurovascular
surgery addresses conditions affecting the nerves, blood
vessels, and brain.
At our Neuroscience Center, we treat conditions such as:
Occurs when a brain artery dilates or bulges abnormally, causing a possible rupture and possibly a serious brain hemorrhage.
This happens when a clot blocks the blood flow towards a part of the brain, preventing the brain cells from receiving oxygen and nutrients.
Arteriovenous malformations are abnormal connections between brain arteries and veins that alter blood circulation and may increase the risk of brain hemorrhage.
Occurs when there are atypical connections between arteries and veins located in the dura mater, the membrane that surrounds the brain, and may cause neurological symptoms or bleeding.
Thinning of the carotid arteries, which are responsible for carrying blood towards the brain, increasing the risk of stroke.
Rare disorder in which cerebral arteries thin gradually, limiting blood flow to the brain.
Intense facial pain caused by the trigeminal nerve being compressed by a nearby blood vessel.
Occurs when a clot is formed in the veins that drains the blood from the brain, which can cause high blood pressure and damage to the brain.
Lesions with a great deal of blood vessels, by a large network of blood vessels, that may require interventions to control irrigation.
We are committed to our patients’ brain health, which is why we carry out minimally invasive procedures with tools that incorporate camera assistance and robots, thus avoiding major incisions. This way, there is less tissue damage, less pain, fewer risks and, primarily, a quicker recovery.
Some of the cerebrovascular procedures that
we carry out include:
Dr. Juan Vicenty Padilla is a neurosurgeon trained at the Science Department
of the University of Puerto Rico, with a subspecialty in cerebrovascular and
endovascular management completed at Harvard.
Hospital Auxilio Mutuo made history by performing
its first cerebral thrombectomy, a specialized and
minimally invasive procedure that creates new options
for patients prone to ischemic stroke.
Through this surgery, the blood clot (thrombus), which
obstructs one of the brain’s main arteries, is extracted,
in order to correct blood flow. This innovation strengthens
the medical response to stroke, where every minute can
make a difference in a patient’s recovery, and cements
Auxilio Mutuo as a health center that prioritizes brain health.
