As the no. 3 ranked neurology and neurosurgery program in the country, RUSH University Medical Center is at the forefront of providing leading edge care and participating in pathfinding neuro-interventional research. At the center of this work is R. Webster Crowley, MD, who discusses Rush’s use of the CorPath robotic system, Woven EndoBridge Embolization System and the RIST catheter.
He is the chief of the Section of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery, as well as the surgical director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center. He is also the director of the Endovascular Neurosurgery Fellowship and his research interests include stroke, aneurysm treatment, pseudotumor cerebri and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
“We were one of the first programs to use the CorPath endovascular robot, which is used to diagnose cerebral angiograms, but has the potential for broader interventional uses with aneurysm and stroke treatment in the future. Rush also performed the first surgery in the world using the RIST catheter, which helps neurosurgeons access cerebral aneurysms with a better safety profile. Our neuro interventional program allows us to expand the ways that patients have access to the latest minimally invasive care.”
