At just 19 years old, Eddie Constantineau suffered a stroke while lifting weights at the gym. He experienced a sudden headache and left arm weakness and was rushed to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital.

Eddie’s stroke was caused by a tangle of abnormal blood vessels called an arteriovenous malformation, or AVM. It’s a rare condition that increases pressure in the veins, potentially causing them to rupture and bleed. While present at birth, AVMs usually go undetected until someone reaches their 20s or 30s.

Eddie underwent immediate surgery to remove his AVM and stop the bleed. For the next 27 days, he began his recovery in the hospital. “The only thing I remember from that time is the ICU staff and their hospitality,” Eddie says, whose story was recently featured in Detroit News. “They took incredible care of me and treated me like family.”

Since then, Eddie has been in rehab to relearn how to do just about everything. He is currently working on walking without a cane, strengthening his left leg and improving the function of his left hand.

“Eddie isn’t just recovering; he’s redefining what recovery looks like,” says Mohammed Rehman, our neuroendovascular surgeon who is leading Eddie’s post-surgery care. “His strength, resilience and determination have been remarkable. As a physician, it’s a privilege to walk alongside patients like Eddie—not just to treat their condition, but to support their comeback.”
