BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebrospinal fluid-venous fistulas (CVF) are a common cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) and can be treated with transvenous embolization (TVE). Rebound...

New study alert! Our team analyzed 100 patients with SIH and found that spine MRI diverticular patterns can reliably predict CSF-venous fistula (CVF) location â a crucial step toward more targeted & efficient myelography. Perhaps the holy grail of CVFs? https://t.co/Jv89HYIZQb

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CSF-venous fistulas (CVFs) are an increasingly recognized cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension and require invasive myelography for localization. Whether spine MRI...

https://t.co/p0IdCvGrSO Thrilled to show our findings implicating the glymphatic system in futile recanalization after thrombectomy in LVO #stroke. Is the glymphatic system a potential therapeutic target? @mtbendermd

OBJECTIVE Stroke is a leading cause of global death and disability, with mechanical thrombectomy remaining the optimal treatment approach for large-vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic stroke. Despite...

Convinced thrombectomy isn't beneficial in distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs)? Our study (in press @SVINJournal!) suggests an anterior DMVO-specific perfusion target mismatch profile may yet identify patients who can benefit! @vsyedavalli

Background Recent trials of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) were negative but also used inconsistent imaging-based inclusion criteria, whereas many...

Interesting analysis from RESCU ICAS led by âŚ@mtbendermd⊠. Worse NIHSS on presentation and higher number of passes are strong predictors for futile recanalization, while stenting and complete recan provide protective effect

What agent to use in MMA embolization? Kiernan Gunn demonstrates that Onyx appears to be more cost-effective than n-BCA or coils. #snis2025 @SNISInfo @esmintsociety @cvsection @fcalbuquerque51 @dr_mchen @DanniDiestro @MattAmansMD @ducruetaf @MattFusco_MD @DrAltschul

Congrats on wrapping up fellowship to two bright starts in neurovascular surgery: @RahmaniRedi and @Drkandregula. Enjoyed the whole year with this dynamic duo, from late night strokes to brainstorming novel approaches. Now onto @UofLNeurosurg and @PennNSG you'll make us proud!
