Interventional Neurologists

Interventional neurology is an emerging sub-specialty that just a few hundred U.S. physicians in the U.S. have achieved. The specialty requires a minimum of seven years of training after medical school. Interventional neurologists combine the clinical skills of a neurologist with expertise in cutting-edge invasive techniques such as stenting of carotid arteries and aneurysm embolization.

These specialists and intervention techniques have extended the window of treatment time available to ischemic stroke patients who are treated at Hennepin Stroke Center up to ten hours after stroke symptom onset. Interventional neurologists at Hennepin Stroke Center have pioneered several endovascular techniques.

Stroke patients at Hennepin Stroke Center have 24/7 access to the following interventional neurologists through a partnership with University of Minnesota Medical School and University of Minnesota Physicians:
