Streamlined referrals for cerebrovascular care

How It Works

Prompt access, clear communication

For urgent or emergent cases — ruptured or symptomatic aneurysms, acute stroke, intracranial hemorrhage — Dr. Dalyai and the ECU Health neurovascular team are reachable 24/7 through the ECU Health Transfer Center, staffed by registered nurses who coordinate provider consults and transfer to the appropriate level of care.

For elective referrals, the ECU Health Neurosurgery & Spine Center schedules patients promptly. After your patient is seen, you can expect timely consultation notes with findings and recommendations, direct communication on complex cases, coordination with your office on follow-up, and return of the patient to your care when neurosurgical needs are complete.

Background

Dual-trained, open and endovascular

Dr. Dalyai completed his neurosurgery residency and an enfolded fellowship in endovascular & cerebrovascular neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He is board certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery, has authored 37+ peer-reviewed publications, and serves as Director of Vascular Neurosciences and Surgical Director of Stroke for ECU Health.

Because he practices both open microsurgery and endovascular techniques, your patients receive a balanced recommendation across the full range of treatment options — clipping and coiling, flow diversion, embolization, thrombectomy, carotid stenting and endarterectomy — rather than a single-modality view.
