\"\"Cooper University Health Care\u2019s Neurological Institute<\/a> is transforming neurological care in the region with the opening of a new, dedicated Acute Stroke and Neuro Interventional Suite within its Emergency Department \u2013 the first of its kind in the nation. Cooper is the first comprehensive stroke center in the United States equipped with the latest generation Siemens Healthineers biplane angiography suite integrated with a CT scanner, providing fully integrated surgical image guidance for minimally invasive treatment of strokes.<\/p>\n

The new Suite is designed to treat emergent and non-emergent forms of cerebrovascular disease including acute stroke of any type, cerebral aneurysms, carotid artery disease, and other vascular conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord. This \u201cone stop shop\u201d approach represents an innovative model of care addressing the critically time-sensitive nature of neurovascular emergencies.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the type of stroke or neurological condition, patients will be evaluated and treated right where they enter the hospital without the need for time-consuming transfers from the Emergency Department to a CT scanner and from CT scanner to a procedural suite. Patients will be able to receive intravenous clot-busting medical treatment, thrombectomy, or other interventional procedures within the unit avoiding all the additional steps typically associated with conventional evaluation and treatment of neurological disorders, saving brain tissue and leading to better clinical outcomes.<\/p>\n
