Stroke Interventions Save Lives

When the brain is injured by a lack of good blood flow, a stroke or aneurysm is possible. Our brain and spine specialists have important tests to access the risk of stroke and then employ preventive treatments to restore blood flow to the brain.

Daniel Gibson, MD, is a neuro-interventional radiologist and neurosurgeon at our Ascension Southeast Wisconsin hospitals. He is seeing remarkable patient outcomes after performing advanced neuro-interventions, like the trans-carotid artery revascularization (TCAR), with fast-acting, clot-busting tPA medications. Dr. Gibson and the Ascension Stroke Care team knows stroke is much like a bubble that is about to burst, often, without warning. That is why stroke is called the silent killer. The neuro-interventions available at Ascension hospitals are:

  • Minimizing brain damage
  • Opening blood flow to critical areas of the brain.
  • Preventing repeat strokes even in complex cases
  • Surgically treating hard-to-reach aneurysms and brain tumors

Dr. Gibson specializes in treating adult patients with:

  • Arteriovenous malformation (AVM)
  • Brain aneurysm
  • Brain tumors
  • Carotid artery blockage
  • Cerebral aneurysm
  • Intracranial vascular disease
  • Stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA)
  • Vascular disease

“It’s our belief that by empowering patients and the care team with information we can better manage complex neurovascular diseases.” – Daniel Gibson, MD, Neuro-interventional radiologist
