The 2013 ARUBA trial concluded that medical management alone is superior to medical management with interventional therapy for patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations. A study was conducted to analyze AVM treatment and epidemiologic response to the ARUBA trial. Following ARUBA, there has been a stark decrease in interventions for uAVMs. Nationwide rAVM discharge incidence is inversely correlated with uAVM intervention rate. Less uAVM interventions may lead to a substantial increase in AVM rupture incidence. In this podcast, JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Felipe C. Albuquerque spe ..read more

Survival for glioblastoma remains very poor despite decades of research, with a 5-year survival of only 5%. Technological improvements that have revolutionized treatment of ischemic stroke and brain aneurysms have great potential in providing more precise and selective delivery of cancer therapeutic agents to brain tumors. In this podcast, JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Felipe C. Albuquerque speaks with Dr. Stephen Chen (1)and Dr. Peter Kan (2) about their paper "Perfusion-guided endovascular super-selective intra-arterial infusion for treatment of malignant brain tumors". The paper describes a tec ..read more

The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device has FDA approval for treatment of wide-necked intracranial bifurcation aneurysms. It has been shown to result in adequate occlusion in bifurcation aneurysms overall, but its usefulness in the individual bifurcation locations has been evaluated separately only in few case series, which were limited by small sample sizes. In this podcast, JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Dr. Nimer Adeeb (1)and Dr. Adam Dmytriw (2) on their paper "Comparing treatment outcomes of various intracranial bifurcation aneurysms locations using the Woven EndoBr ..read more

Sex disparities in acute ischemic stroke outcomes are well reported with IV thrombolysis. Despite several studies, there is still a lack of consensus on whether endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) outcomes differ between men and women. In this podcast, we discuss the Selection for Endovascular Treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke (SELECT) study, in which women had similar discharge outcomes as men following EVT, in a propensity-matched cohort, but the improvement from discharge to 90 days was significantly worse in women, suggesting the influence of post-discharge factors. JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Dr ..read more

In the latest podcast, we discuss the joint expedited recommendations from the European Stroke Organisation (ESO) and the European Society for Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT) on indication for intravenous thrombolysis before mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke and anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Dr. Guillaume Turc, Department of Neurology, GHU Paris Psychiatrie et Neurosciences, Université de Paris, and co-chair of the module working group.

Venous sinus stenting (VSS) is a safe, effective, and increasingly popular treatment option for selected patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Serious complications associated with VSS are rarely reported. In this podcast, JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Dr. Kyle Fargen, from the Department of Neurosurgery, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, about a case series in which serious complications after VSS were identified retrospectively from multicenter databases. The cases are reviewed and learning points regarding complication avoid ..read more

In this podcast, we discuss the COMPASS: a trial of aspiration thrombectomy versus stent retriever thrombectomy as first-line approach for large vessel occlusion, comparing patients with and without prior intravenous (IV) alteplase administration. JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Maxim Mokin, from the Department of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair, University of South Florida, Tampa, USA, about the post hoc analysis. which concludes that prior administration of IV alteplase may adversely affect the efficacy of aspiration, whilst it does not seem to influence the stent retri ..read more
