Many insurance plans cover CR, but coverage varies. 

Yes, under medical supervision in a CR program.

Typically 6 to 12 weeks, depending on individual progress.

Brain aneurysms are treated using Endovascular Coiling or Flow Diverter Stents:   Coiling – Small platinum coils are placed inside the aneurysm to prevent rupture. Flow Diverters – A stent is placed to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm, promoting healing.

For acute ischemic stroke, doctors use Mechanical Thrombectomy, a procedure where a tiny catheter is guided to the blocked artery in the brain to remove the clot using a Stent Retriever or the PENUMBRA aspiration system. This helps restore blood flow and prevents permanent brain damage.

INR procedures are minimally invasive, meaning: Smaller incisions and reduced blood loss Shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery Lower risk of infections and complications Highly precise treatments with real-time imaging guidance

The INR team treats a wide range of neurovascular and spinal conditions, including: Stroke (Ischemic & Hemorrhagic) Brain & Spinal Aneurysms Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) & Arteriovenous Fistulas (AVF) Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas (CCF) Intracranial & Extracranial Stenosis (Narrowing of blood vessels in the brain & neck) Venous Sinus Thrombosis & Pseudo-Tumor Cerebri Spinal Vascular Malformations & Tarlov Cysts Tumors of the Brain, Head, Neck, and Spine

Interventional Neuroradiology (INR) is a subspecialty of radiology that uses minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases of the brain, head, neck, spine, and spinal cord. These procedures involve the use of catheters, stents, and embolic agents to treat conditions like strokes, aneurysms, vascular malformations, and spinal disorders.

Some babies may have breathing difficulties, developmental delays, or neurological concerns, but early interventions improve outcomes.
