May 8, 2008 (FPRC) -- New York, NY - "La Oveja Eléctrica" on Televisión Metropolitana Canal 22 will present an April 25 interview with Alejandro Berenstein, M.D., the director of the Center for Endovascular Surgery. Located at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, the Center for Endovascular Surgery is a division of Beth Israel's Hyman-Newman Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery (INN).
In the television interview, Dr. Alejandro Berenstein talks about the latest technology in endovascular surgery. Also known as “interventional neuroradiology”, endovascular surgery utilizes minimally invasive techniques to treat disorders of the brain, head, neck and spine.
A pioneer in the emerging field of interventional neuroradiology, Dr. Berenstein created and developed the first Division of Interventional Neuroradiology (surgical neuroangiography) in the United States. He also developed the first multidisciplinary center for congenital vascular anomalies and hemangiomas, where a team of specialists review and design treatment strategies for patients with vascular problems of the head and neck. Dr. Berenstein uses the same concepts, techniques and multidisciplinary expertise at the INN in cases of aneurysms, vascular tumors, vascular malformations, birthmarks and other vascular abnormalities.
"La Oveja Eléctrica" spotlights the latest innovations in the world of science and technology and explores the impact it has on people’s lives.
