Caleb Rutledge, MD

I specialize in treating neurovascular disorders that cause bleeding in the brain or spinal cord. These include brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, fistulas, and cavernomas. I also treat blockages of the carotid arteries in the neck or blood vessels in the brain that cause stroke.

I am director of cranial and vascular neurosurgery at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. The hospital is certified by The Joint Commission as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, which means it provides the most advanced stroke care.

I have advanced training and experience in performing both microsurgical and minimally invasive endovascular procedures. For example, most brain aneurysms can be safely treated inside the blood vessels with endovascular techniques such as coiling or stenting, but sometimes microsurgical clipping is necessary. My goal is to provide the best treatment for each patient.

I am a member of NYU Langone’s Center for Stroke and Neurovascular Diseases and the Cranial Bypass Program, where I collaborate with other neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and neurologists to improve patient outcomes and their experiences.

In addition to my clinical work, I conduct clinical and translational research focused on cerebrovascular diseases, including trials to evaluate new devices and treatments. I am the author of more than 80 peer-reviewed publications. I also enjoy teaching residents and fellows.
