  • Leaders in research & innovation – Active in national trials and guideline development.
  • 24/7 emergency services – Rapid response for stroke and aneurysm patients.

Stroke Treatment

We were the first in West Virginia to offer neurointerventional stroke care. Patients benefit from rapid diagnosis and treatment, including clot-busting medications and clot removal procedures.

Aneurysm Care

Our team uses advanced imaging and catheter-guided devices to prevent and treat ruptures with high precision and lower risk.

Carotid Artery Treatment

We treat blocked arteries by using stents or angioplasty to improve blood flow to the brain and lower the risk of stroke.

Spine Disorders

We treat the following using imaging-guided, minimally invasive techniques:

  • Pain with nerve blocks
  • Tumors with embolization or ablation
  • Fractures with kyphoplasty
  • Vascular malformations with embolization

Head & Neck Tumor Embolization

Cutting off blood flow to tumors improves surgical outcomes and reduces bleeding risk.

Percutaneous kyphoplasty

RNI neurointerventional radiologists can treat spine compression fractures caused by osteoporosis using a technique called percutaneous kyphoplasty. This minimally invasive treatment helps reduce spine pain and restore spine function.
