@AdamArthurMD’s @cvsection Luessenhop Lecture was a powerful reminder: each patient is a person foremost, and our duty is to tailor their care to them as an individual while guiding them through their cerebrovascular care journey.

2️⃣ Medium vessel occlusion: Feels like we’re back in 2013. Hoping well-designed studies demonstrate that there are patients who need these procedures and the baby shouldn’t be thrown out with the bath water.

1️⃣ MMA embolization: The field is wide open. Surprised to see how many are coiling off the MMA—clearly more data is needed to guide optimal strategy.

We officially opened our new biplane angio suite at @EndeavorHlth. This Philips Azurion biplane R3 is 1 of only 5 across the country, & the 1st of its kind in Illinois. Grateful to be part of a hospital continuing to invest in tech that improves precision, safety, & outcomes.

By the AM, his NIHSS was down to 1. Interestingly, even with that dramatic clinical improvement, there was still significant cortical diffusion restriction. A fantastic outcome, made possible by the continued advances in our field. #cerebrovascular #neurosurgery #neurosurgeon.

This patient came in with an NIHSS of 17, just one hour after symptom onset. After a single successful aspiration pass, he began moving his left arm right there on the table. These cases never cease to amaze me, and they remain some of the most rewarding work we do. .

We’re taught that CT perfusion within 6 hrs of last known well isn’t always reliable, & tends to overestimate core infarct. Even in the era of large core thrombectomy, it’s critical to keep this in mind & continue advocating for thrombectomy when appropriate. More in thread.

Tried the new Sofia 88 guide catheter and it tracked really well. At 115cm, it will be particularly great for really tall patients with tough arches . Make sure to use a 130cm 5Fr Sim select catheter without a tuohy or with a short tuohy . @terumoneuro.

In cases with super tortuous arch & low carotid bifurcation, I’ll use a buddy wire (018 Glide Advantage or BMX96) out the ECA in tandem with the working wire during angioplasty & stenting. If stenting the proximal common carotid, try placing the buddy wire out the subclavian.

Smoking meats has become one of my favorite ways to unwind. TIP 👉🏼 Wrap the meat in butcher paper w/ tallow + a long hold at 150° in oven for 6–8 hrs after the cook. Any other other meat smokers with tips? 💬. @madscientistbbq @chudsbbq #BBQ #SmokedBrisket

Had a great time riding with Team Spirit Award winners, Team @EndeavorHlth, at #CycleNationChicago—raising awareness, funds, and heart rates for #stroke research. 🧠🚴♂️. Hearing my patient share her recovery story was a powerful reminder of why we do this. @AmericanHeartIL
