A Unique Perspective on Neurological Care

AHN Neuroscience Institute provides a multidisciplinary approach for patients with neurological conditions, using some of the most advanced techniques available in the U.S. Seung Paul Jeong, MD, AHN neurosurgeon dual-trained in open cerebrovascular and endovascular procedures, provides care across the Pittsburgh region at AHN Jefferson, AHN Allegheny General, and AHN Forbes Hospitals.

Dr. Jeong’s expertise in general neurosurgery, open cerebrovascular, and endovascular procedures gives him a unique and comprehensive perspective when evaluating patients, providing a well-rounded assessment that results in the best possible care and treatment  — always tailored to individual patient needs.

Advanced endovascular procedures at AHN

Dr. Jeong and our team of experts at AHN Neuroscience Institute are using innovative endovascular technologies, including a state-of-the-art biplane imaging system, to diagnose and treat conditions like:

• Aneurysms
• Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
• Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs)
• Carotid stenosis
• Idiopathic intracranial hypertension
• Subdural hematoma
• Moyamoya disease
• Stroke

These minimally invasive procedures use small vascular punctures to access the affected vessels and deploy devices such as coils or stents to treat the pathology.

“AHN is uniquely positioned to adopt and evaluate new devices and techniques that can meaningfully improve patient outcomes, often before they are available elsewhere,” said Dr. Jeong.

Dr. Jeong says endovascular procedures have obviated the need for open surgery for certain conditions, decreased recovery time, and reduced the need for repeat procedures in many cases, along with other benefits including:

• Quicker intervention for time-sensitive conditions.
• Increased eligibility for treatment for high-risk patients.
• Enhanced ability to access complex cerebrovascular lesions.
• Novel treatment techniques for conditions without a clear open surgical solution. 

Prioritizing patient-centered, collaborative care

AHN’s vascular neurosurgery division emphasizes collaboration among neurosurgeons, neurologists, and interventional radiologists with neuroradiology training. Each case, routine or complex, is reviewed by the multidisciplinary team to ensure optimal, personalized treatment planning.

“We’re here to support patients at every stage,” said Dr. Jeong. “Whether performing a surgery or offering a second opinion, our team is equipped with leading-edge surgical options, symptom monitoring techniques, and extensive experience from various fields that provide peace of mind for both patients and referring providers.”

Patients also benefit from newly renovated, best-in-class facilities, including a dedicated endovascular suite and neurointensive care unit at AHN Allegheny General Hospital, designed to enhance procedural precision and recovery.
