The Methodist Neurological Institute Brain Aneurysm Center is a comprehensive center providing expert care and research for patients affected by stroke or aneurysms. Formed as part of the Methodist Neurological Institute, the Brain Aneurysm Center is a crucial step to fight these terrible disorders because stroke and aneurysms are the third leading cause of death in the United States.
The Center staffs nationally and internationally recognized neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons and neurologists. Physicians are leading research trials and looking at new ways to improve current treatments.
