Active
partnership
between
clinician and researchers
We are proud of our research programs and what they do for the medical community. When associated with a research program, physicians have knowledge and access to more effective treatments and diagnostic technologies.
Jeffrey Thomas, MD
Stroke Center’s Director of Neurosurgery
and Interventional Neuroradiology
Dr. Thomas is researching a solution to a problem that has bedeviled surgeons for more than 50 years—the tendency of some patients to develop severe blood vessel spasms in the brain a few days after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (i.e., bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm). These vasospasms can lead to stroke, disability, or death.
