At Krembil, we have an interdisciplinary team comprised of stroke neurologists, cerebrovascular surgeons and interventional neuroradiologists taking a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating some of the most complex neurovascular conditions.
In Canada, stroke is the third leading cause of death, and leaves thousands more with life-changing disabilities. Here, at Toronto Western Hospital we have two state-of-the-art operating rooms that allow our specialists who do surgery on the brain to have some of the best outcomes in removing artery-blocking brain clots that cause ischemic strokes, relieving pressure in brain-bleeding hemorrhagic strokes, and other brain-related interventions. We have achieved "Stroke Distinction" from Accreditation Canada for demonstrating national leadership, clinical excellence and a commitment to continuing to improve the level of care for stroke patients.
