Which of the following is an NIR capable center in Las Vegas?

• A. Mount Charleston General
• B. Paradise Valley Medical Center
• C. Sunrise
• D. Riverside Valley Hospital

Answer: (C)

Neuro-interventional radiology centers provide urgent endovascular treatment for neurovascular emergencies, especially acute ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion. They have a dedicated interventional suite and a 24/7 team to perform procedures like mechanical thrombectomy and other endovascular interventions, which can dramatically reduce disability when time is critical.

Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas is the facility that maintains a true NIR program with round‑the‑clock availability, making it the designated NIR capable center for the area. The other hospitals either do not offer neuro-interventional radiology services or aren’t established as Las Vegas-based NIR centers, so they wouldn’t be the appropriate destination for a patient needing those immediate neuroendovascular treatments.
