About UCSF Neurovascular Division
The UCSF Neurology Department's Neurovascular Division treats and researches conditions of the brain’s blood vessels. This includes acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, vascular malformations (arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, fistulas).
