Ali Aziz-Sultan, MD, Chief of Vascular/Endovascular Neurosurgery, is a dual fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in both open and endovascular approaches to cerebrovascular conditions and has extensive expertise in a wide range of innovative techniques to treat aneurysms, stroke and brain tumors. Examples include the use of flow diverter stents to address aneurysms, stent retrievers to achieve high recanalization rates in stroke patients, and chemoembolization to treat brain tumors.
Rose Du, MD, PhD, Director of Cerebrovascular Surgery, is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon in Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Surgery. Dr. Du is an expert cerebrovascular neurosurgeon and specializes in open treatment options. Dr. Du conducts clinical research on cerebral aneurysms, cerebral and spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), cerebral and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas, moyamoya, cavernous malformations, carotid stenosis, stroke, cerebral aneurysms, and cerebral vasospasm.
Galen V. Henderson, MD, Medical Director of the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, is currently evaluating the incidence, management, and outcome of non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, as well as mechanical retrieval for acute ischemic stroke.
Kai U. Frerichs, MD, Director of Endovascular Neurosurgery, is a dual fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in endovascular treatment options. Dr. Frerichs uses leading multimodality approaches for cerebrovascular disease treatment, including coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms, intra-arterial interventions for clot thrombolysis and removal in acute stroke, carotid and intracranial stenting and angioplasty, and cerebral and spinal AVM. Dr. Frerichs’ research focus includes the development of novel neuroprotective strategies for stroke and neurotrauma.
