The Stroke Center at Stanford is currently recognized as a world as a leader in stroke research. The Center has consistently been one of the most prolific research groups in the nation. Stanford has pioneered major advances in medical therapies for treating and preventing stroke, neurosurgical techniques for stroke prevention and exciting interventional neuroradiologic procedures for stroke patients. Stanford developed an innovative TIA program that is transforming the way TIA is diagnosed and managed. The Stroke Center's Neurocritical Care Program has made key advances in the diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage and the prognosis of coma. Stanford neuroscientists have helped clarify the basic mechanisms of stroke-induced brain injury and have pioneered several new imaging techniques that allow us to successfully treat selected patients up to 12 hours after symptom onset.
