In the Sutter network, you’ll have access to a number of different treatments and ways mitigate the chance of stroke, such as:

  • Aneurysm coiling and clipping – This surgery strengthens a brain aneurysm, a weak area in a blood vessel wall, by clipping or coiling and stenting the aneurysm
  • Carotid angioplasty and stent placement – This minimally invasive, outpatient procedure involves inserting a small catheter into the carotid artery to increase blood flow.
  • Cerebral endarterectomy – This minimally invasive procedure restores proper blood flow through the carotid arteries to the brain.
  • Stents – These tiny tubes can be placed in arteries and blood vessels to help improve blood flow and hold the structure open.
  • Thrombolytic (tPA) Therapy – Using a series of drugs, this therapy breaks up or dissolves blood clots to lessen the chance of heart attack and stroke.

Want to BE FAST when you need to spot a stroke? Learn the signs of a stroke and how to identify it quickly to help people get the care they need. Remember, time is critical for a stroke victim. Each minute, two million brain cells die. Don't stop by just educating yourself, Sutter's BE FAST educational materials can be downloaded, printed, and hung up in your school, office, or even around the home.

Stroke Care and Recovery

Quick treatment and a clear path to recovery can mean all the difference after a stroke. Our Continuum of Care Infographic (PDF) illustrates the potential paths of recovery most patients face when first receiving care and recovering from a stroke.

A neurological disorder is any disorder of the body's nervous system. This may happen due to structural, chemical or electrical problems occurring in the brain, spinal cord or other nerves, which can result in a range of symptoms. Examples of symptoms include paralysis, muscle weakness, poor coordination, loss of sensation, seizures, confusion, pain and altered levels of consciousness. There are many recognized neurological disorders, and much research is being done to find treatments.
