Founding of the Interdisciplinary Brain Vascular Center at the Frankfurt University Clinic
The new center combines strengths to offer patients with brain vascular diseases the most up to date treatment. The cause of strokes is disrupted blood supply to the brain and hemorrhaging inside the cranium, which can result in permanent disability or even death.Thanks to modern diagnostics and imaging techniques it is possible to recognize earlier, and effectively treat stoke-causing diseases affecting blood vessels supplying the brain, and thus prevent a stroke. This requires close collaboration between the specialist areas of neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology and vascular surgery.
