We're pleased to announce the opening of our second state-of-the-art biplane neuroangiography suite last year. The opening was a major expansion that has already significantly improved our team’s ability to diagnose and treat patients who have complex cerebrovascular conditions with greater efficiency and throughput.
Ramesh Grandhi, MD, Section Chief of the Neuroendovascular Division, shared his thoughts at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "This is a foundational step for our vision of the future of stroke and cerebrovascular care," he said. "This is something that's going to be transformational for our patients, and I'm really proud of what our teams have accomplished together."
As the only academic medical center in the region, the opening of the second suite reflects our ongoing commitment to cutting-edge, multidisciplinary care and investment in improving access for patients.
"In the last 20 years, we've seen an incredible evolution in treatment from open surgeries to being able to treat many conditions through the vessel," said Department Chair William Couldwell, MD, PhD. "It's been a remarkable journey."
The new suite was designed to keep University of Utah Health at the forefront of image-guided neuroradiologic and neuroendovascular procedures—ensuring the best outcomes for our patients. The ribbon-cutting ceremony included Dr. Jennifer J. Majersik, Division Chief of Vascular Neurology, and Dr. Troy Hutchins, Vice-Chair of Operations for the Department of Radiology, as well as members of the hospital administration and clinical teams.
"I am thankful to all who supported this endeavor, especially my partners and our team, whose tireless efforts led to this important expansion. We look forward to continuing to provide the highest level of care to patients throughout the Mountain West and taking the care we're able to provide to the next level," said Dr. Grandhi.
