For Neurosurgeon Andy Grande, MD, work really is a matter of life and death.
Grande, who specializes in the treatment of brain aneurysms, vascular malformations and a form of facial pain called trigeminal neuralgia, sees many patients with problems that range from carotid artery stenosis to Moyamoya disease. He is also passionate about stroke care, and conducts medical research he hopes could transform treatment and recovery for stroke patients.
We spoke with Grande about his role within University of Minnesota Health and his vision for neurosurgical care.
