The FJD launches its Institute of Neurointerventionism

The increase in the prevalence of brain diseases, the technological improvement of therapeutic devices and the increasing number of specialized centers for their approach at a global level explain the growing demand, national and international, for neurovascular treatments.

In this context, the Jiménez Díaz Foundation University Hospital has just launched its Institute of Neurointerventionismwhich offers minimally invasive procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the nervous system and the spinal column, combining comprehensive, multidisciplinary and personalized care, with state-of-the-art equipment in the most specialized and expert hands.

“Our team combines cutting-edge technology, international training and a close-to-patient approach to ensure safe and effective interventions,” explains Dr. Claudio Rodriguezdirector of the Institute of Neurointerventionism and head of the Interventional Neuroradiology Service of the Madrid center.

The objective, he adds, is “to become a national and international reference center in cerebral and spinal neurointerventionism, making our healthcare excellence, leadership in innovation and humane treatment available to patients.” A challenge that will be reflected not only on a clinical level, but also in the teaching and specialized training of future professionals and in the transfer and advancement of knowledge through technological innovation and research.

To this end, the Institute of Neurointerventionism has the institutional support of the Jiménez Díaz Foundation, its Health Research Institute (IIS-FJD) and the Autonomous University of Madrid through the Chair of Neurointerventionism.

In addition, “it has a multidisciplinary team made up of interventional neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthetists and specialized nursing; and first-class hospital facilities, with adapted spaces and equipped with cutting-edge equipment, such as hybrid operating rooms, state-of-the-art biplane angiography, 4D CT, dual energy CT, advanced angiography and simulation laboratory,” details Dr. Rodríguez.

“Recognized clinical experience, advanced technology and comprehensive care, and innovation and research as a seal of quality are our differential characteristics that constitute the value commitment of the Institute of Neurointerventionism – continues its director – and that we aspire to translate into a growing number of successfully treated patients, both national and international, satisfaction and positive clinical results, scientific production and innovation.”

Services

Specifically, the service portfolio of this new care device covers the most advanced treatments in two large areas.

The first, neurovascular pathologyoffers the diagnosis and endovascular treatment of aneurysms, vascular malformations, stenosis, stroke and craniofacial tumors through techniques such as cerebral angiography and supra-aortic trunks, spinal angiography, angioplasty and stenting of supra-aortic trunks, angioplasty and stenting of carotid and intracranial vessels, embolization of cerebral aneurysms, cerebral arteriovenous malformations and spinal cords, dural fistulas, craniofacial venous malformations, epistaxis and craniofacial hemorrhages, presurgical embolization of craniofacial and spinal tumors and endovascular treatment of stroke.

As for the second, the spine pathology and non-vascular techniques, The Institute of Neurointerventionism offers percutaneous approaches for chronic pain, herniated discs, spinal cysts, vertebral fractures and spinal tumors with a personalized approach and advanced and minimally invasive techniques that allow for a faster recovery.

To achieve this, it includes chemical or thermal rhizotomy, nerve blocks, radiofrequency of facet joints, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, sacroplasty, ablation of spinal tumors, chemoembolization of head, neck and spine tumors and blockade of the sphenopalatine ganglion, among other techniques. And it completes them with treatment of spinal cysts using ablative techniques, diagnosis and treatment of intracranial hypotension secondary to spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks using the most advanced techniques, vertebral hemangiomas, osteoid osteomas and aneurysmal bone cysts, among other types of tumors, percutaneous treatment of herniated discs, combined treatment of vertebral tumors, ablative treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and treatment of cysts spinal arachnoids.

An attention excellent, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, personalized and innovative which is also supported by the Interventional Neuroradiology Unit of the Jiménez Díaz Foundation, whose spacious, updated and complete facilities optimize both clinical results, with maximum precision, safety and effectiveness in the interventions, as well as the experience and stay of its patients.
