Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen Is One Of First In Texas To Use Surpass Streamline Flow Diverter To Treat Aneurysms

Harlingen, TX – Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen is one of the first in Texas to treat a patient for a cerebral aneurysm, using the Surpass Streamline Flow Diverter device. 

“We are excited to have successfully implanted one of the first Surpass flow diverters in Texas, right here in the Rio Grande Valley,” said Dr. Ameer E. Hassan, DO, FAHA, FSVIN, Head of the Neuroscience Department, Director of Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology and Director of Clinical Neuroscience Research at Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen.  

Valley Baptist-Harlingen is advancing the way patients with large and unruptured aneurysms are treated by using the latest stent to reliably keep the artery open and close the blood flow to the aneurysm.
