Outcomes
The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Stroke Center prides itself on maintaining a high standard of care when it comes to managing patients diagnosed with stroke. We benchmark ourselves against other hospitals to ensure that our compliance to the Joint Commission stroke core measures and other metrics remains high.

Occasionally, plaque builds up in neck arteries, usually the largest artery going to the brain, called the carotid artery. As with many cerebrovascular diseases, we at Mount Sinai can treat carotid artery stenosis through surgery or endovascular techniques. These procedures are called carotid endarterectomy (CEA), carotid artery stenting (CAS), and Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR).

Angiograms are X-ray exams that use a dye injected into the blood vessels to make the veins and arteries more visible. Angiograms help our surgeons identify disorders of the blood vessels and vascular system. To do this procedure, which usually takes about an hour, we insert a needle into your artery at the groin or arm, then insert a catheter.
