Description of Clinical Expertise
Dr. Srinivasan is a comprehensive cerebrovascular neurosurgeon, with advanced training in both microsurgical/skull base techniques as well as endovascular techniques to treat cerebrovascular disorders. This includes aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), arteriovenous fistulas, cavernous malformations, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, moyamoya disease, and carotid disease.In addition, he treats less common neurovascular pathologies of the spine, including AVMs and arteriovenous fistulas, and cavernous malformations of the spinal cord.
In order to help diagnose these lesions, he performs diagnostic cerebral angiograms, and often uses endovascular techniques to treat these diseases.
Comprehensive cerebrovascular surgery includes microsurgical "open" treatments, endovascular/neurointerventional procedures, and stereotactic radiosurgery.
