22-year-old Makes Incredible Recovery from Both COVID-19 and Stroke: Danny Dominguez’s Story

September 28th, 2021

As a 22-year-old man, Danny Dominguez isn’t the typical stroke patient. The first time he experienced shortness of breath and headache accompanied by a throbbing sensation in April 2020, he went to a nearby hospital and was sent home with pain medication.

A few days later, he was at home and wasn’t feeling well. His intuition told him to give his mother a hug before she left for work. “It was just an instinct,” Danny says. “A few minutes later, I started losing consciousness and woke up in the hospital.”

Ask a Neurosurgeon: What to Know About Brain Aneurysms

A brain aneurysm can feel like a terrifying diagnosis, often compared to the grim specter of a stroke. This fear is not unfounded, given the severe damage both conditions can inflict. But, there are distinct differences between the two. Understanding brain aneurysm symptoms, their causes, and how to prevent them is crucial. When it comes to understanding the brain aneurysm versus stroke distinction, what signs of a brain aneurysm to look out for, or the treatment process, no one is...

Aneurysm Coiling: Minimally Invasive Treatment for Safer Outcomes

A brain aneurysm, also known as a cerebral or intracranial aneurysm, is caused by a weakened artery wall that ultimately forms into a bulge, blister or sac off the side of the arterial wall. Patients normally do not have symptoms unless the aneurysm ruptures. Aneurysms can occur at any age, but are more likely in adults over age 25 and are most common between the ages of 30 and 60. Aneurysms that have ruptured are a life threatening condition with...

Craniotomy for Aneurysm Repair: Restoring Vascular Health in the Brain

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning of a blood vessel in the wall of an artery in the brain. It is also known as a cerebral aneurysm or intracranial aneurysm. Experts believe aneurysms form and grow due to blood flow through a vessel that exerts pressure on a weak area of the vessel wall. Over time, the wall of the artery can bulge outward, forming an aneurysm sac. Aneurysm sacs are thin walled and may bleed if the...

Radio host makes airwaves with stroke – and complete recovery

Today, Marisol Vargas is the mother of a vivacious 2½-year-old. But in 2019, she ended up permanently on a daily baby aspirin regimen after suffering a stroke that brought her to from one medical center to Hackensack University Medical Center by helicopter. Her carotid artery was completely blocked, which can lead to potentially devastating stroke even in young patient. There, she had a special brain scan from Hackensack Meridian Neuroscience Institute neurosurgeon Reza Karimi, M.D., who was then able to treat her...

Practice pioneers new aneurysm technology for riskiest brain aneurysms

Not all brain aneurysms are the same. Nor are all surgeons and practices. Out of over 1,000 neurological medical centers in the country, the vascular neurosurgery team at New Jersey Brain and Spine was selected to participate in the Citadel embolization device study. The minimally invasive approach for brain aneurysms varies from a more common coil treatment to one that’s more like a ribbon shape. A coil treatment for a brain aneurysm is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood...

What is Brain AVM?

In this video, Dr. Karimi discusses Brain AVM or brain arteriovenous malformation, shedding light on this condition and its treatments that should only be done by experienced vascular neurosurgeons who are skilled in all available treatments.

Groundbreaking new technology creates new hope for brain aneurysm patients

Dr. Reza J. Karimi is not only among the few neurosurgeons in the country with advanced training in open microvascular neurosurgery and endovascular neurosurgery – he's also an assistant neurosurgery professor. That means he’s just as open to developing and teaching new ways to treat life-threatening conditions that benefit his patients and the next generation of brain specialists. Among those is the innovative NeVa device for vasospasm. Dr. Karimi is the only neurosurgeon in the Northeast currently using the non-invasive technology...

Multidisciplinary Care for Aneurysms and Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)

The brain is an organ of exquisite complexity, and its health is paramount to our overall well-being. Among the myriad of conditions that can affect the brain, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) pose a significant threat due to their potential to cause serious complications. Here, we explore this precarious condition and discuss what individuals need to know about severity, prevalence, life expectancy, survival rates, and treatment options. We particularly emphasize the indispensable role of multidisciplinary care provided by neurovascular centers in diagnosing...
