“We provide a one-stop treatment service from early detection of various cerebrovascular diseases to rehabilitation.”

The second most common cause of death in Koreans after cancer, cerebrovascular disease (stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral artery) leaves sequelae even if it does not lead to death in many cases. Thus, the most important factor in the patient's prognosis is how quickly effective treatment is implemented in the acute phase.

Neuro·Vascular Center at Shihwa Medical Center is playing a leading role in cerebrovascular treatment using cerebrovascular angiography, in which the structure and condition of blood vessels are identified to determine the presence or absence of abnormalities in blood vessels, and interventional procedures, in which a stent or balloon catheter is inserted into the blood vessel. In addition, the center provides comprehensive and high-quality medical care from the initial diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease to rehabilitation through organic collaboration with specialized departments such as neurology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation medicine, and radiology. In addition, there are 5 beds in Siheung City's first stroke intensive care unit, where changes in the status of patients with acute cerebrovascular disease, whose neurological status changes frequently, are intensively observed. At the same time, in this system of care, skilled nurses with specialized training provide resident care 24 hours a day, and medical staff responds promptly.

Strengths of the Neuro·Vascular Center of SHMC
    • Operation of stroke intensive care unit

    • Operation of an ANGIO room
    • Specialized medical staff with extensive experience in cerebrovascular diagnosis and interventional procedures provide a one-stop treatment in which lesions are examined at an early stage in the Angio room equipped with the latest equipment and treatment through accurate procedures is provided.
    • Up-to-date equipment
