Leading Edge Stroke Treatment For A Faster Return to Life

Stroke Treatment That Puts Your Recovery First. Every second counts after a stroke. That’s why Atlantic Cardiovascular offers immediate, personalized treatment of stroke designed to maximize your potential and get you back to doing what you love.

Expert Stroke Diagnosis for Prompt & Effective Treatment

At Atlantic Cardiovascular, we understand that rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial in treatment of stroke patients. Our team of expert stroke specialists utilizes the latest diagnostic tools to quickly assess your condition and determine the best course of action.

Accurate diagnosis is not only crucial for immediate treatment but also for preventing future strokes. By identifying the underlying causes of your stroke – whether it’s a blood clot, hemorrhage, or an underlying heart condition – we can develop a personalized prevention plan to reduce your risk of recurrence.

Our Advanced Stroke Diagnosis Option

Our team utilizes a combination of advanced diagnostic tools and techniques, including:

Computed Tomography (CT) Scans

These scans create detailed images of your brain, helping us identify the type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) and the extent of any damage.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI provides an even more detailed look at your brain, often revealing subtle abnormalities that CT scans may miss.

Echocardiography

This ultrasound of your heart allows us to assess its function and check for any underlying conditions that may have contributed to your stroke.

Angiography

This imaging technique helps us visualize your blood vessels and identify any blockages that may need to be addressed with minimally invasive procedures.

Interventional Stroke Care At Atlantic Cardiovascular

While tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) has long been a cornerstone of stroke treatment, Atlantic Cardiovascular is at the forefront of interventional stroke care, offering a wider range of options that can be life-changing for patients. Our specialized team goes beyond medication, employing advanced surgical and minimally invasive endovascular procedures to directly address blockages and restore blood flow to the brain.

Through these interventions, we can often remove clots that are too large or complex for tPA alone, significantly improving outcomes for many stroke patients. This includes techniques such as mechanical thrombectomy, where a catheter is threaded through the blood vessels to physically remove the clot, and angioplasty/stenting, where a tiny balloon is inflated to open up narrowed arteries and a stent is placed to keep them open.

Our Commitment To Interventional Stroke Care Means

A Regional Stroke Network Delivering Faster Stroke Intervention: Our coordinated network ensures rapid access to specialized care, giving you the best chance of a full recovery.
A Broader Spectrum of Treatment Options: We tailor treatment to your individual needs, employing the most effective and innovative approaches available.
Increased Likelihood of Positive Outcomes: By intervening directly at the site of the blockage, we aim to minimize brain damage and maximize your chances of regaining function and independence.

Recognized Mini Stroke Treatment

A mini-stroke may be temporary, but its message is clear: your brain is at risk. At Atlantic Cardiovascular, we take mini-strokes seriously. We offer swift, comprehensive treatment for mini stroke designed to protect your future and prevent a major stroke from happening.

We understand that time is of the essence. You’ll receive a prompt and thorough evaluation, including advanced imaging, blood tests, and specialized assessments to pinpoint the cause of your mini-stroke.

Your dedicated team of experts will develop a custom plan to address your unique risk factors and prevent future strokes. This may include medication, lifestyle changes, or in some cases, minimally invasive procedures. We’ll continue to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
