Josh Abecassis, M.D. – Brain Bypass and Revascularization Program

Patients once had to leave the state for this surgery — now they’re traveling to Kentucky for care from the UofL Health Brain Bypass team.

In this episode, we sit down with Josh Abecassis, M.D., to discuss the Brain Bypass and Revascularization Program at UofL Health, a highly specialized treatment option for patients with complex blood vessel disorders of the brain, including moyamoya disease.

Dr. Abecassis explains how brain bypass surgery works and why UofL Health is uniquely positioned to provide this advanced procedure. In fact, UofL Health is one of the only locations in Kentucky and one of just a few in the region offering a direct bypass surgery option for eligible patients.
