Neurovascular Disorders & Stroke

The Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Brain Health Center is led by internationally renowned vascular neurologists and neurosurgeons, as well as diagnostic and interventional neuroradiologists, neuroanesthesiologists, rehabilitation specialists and neurocritical care physicians. Together, they employ the most advanced and emerging imaging technology and procedures to diagnose and treat patients of all ages who suffer from complex, life-threatening neurovascular conditions. We offer a complete repertoire of state-of-the-art therapeutic paradigms to treat the full spectrum of neurovascular diseases, including a versatile array of precision medicine-guided neurological and/or more invasive neurosurgical modalities, such as endovascular, open, minimally invasive and hybrid approaches.

We are the first health system from the Bronx to the Hudson Valley to have earned the prestigious Comprehensive Stroke Center designation from the Joint Commission and are among the top 3% of hospitals in the nation to earn this designation. We are ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for neurology and neurosurgery according to U.S. News & World Report, and the highest-volume pediatric and adult stroke center in the New York Metropolitan Area. Our Montefiore Einstein Burke Rehabilitation Hospital is ranked in the top 1% of all U.S. hospitals for rehabilitation according to U.S. News & World Report.

Our renowned multidisciplinary neurovascular experts have advanced fellowship training, experience and expertise in the latest and emerging diagnostic and treatment modalities for strokes, hemorrhages, aneurysms and vascular malformations, as well as a broad array of acquired, congenital and traumatic conditions. We’ll coordinate any additional care or specialized services you may need, bringing together experts from across our health system to ensure your care is fully integrated and comprehensive. We are also one of few centers in the nation whose specialists have been trained through fellowship programs focused on endovascular techniques and the application of novel endovascular devices, as well as in neurocritical care.

As an internationally recognized leader in stroke research, we are spearheading and participating in numerous clinical trials to advance promising interventions for stroke prevention, treatment, recovery and rehabilitation for patients with or at risk of a stroke across all stages of life. Montefiore Einstein is a founding partner and key member of the New York City Collaborative Regional Coordinating Center (NYCC-RCC), the largest National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded multi-institutional consortium dedicated to stroke prevention, treatment, education and rehabilitation efforts aimed at reducing the burden of stroke. The consortium places particular emphasis on vulnerable pediatric and adult populations, ultrarapid response paradigms and national and international endovascular research and treatment efforts.
