What a privilege to be part of the team that made this possible. My utmost gratitude to Dr. Pedro Lylyk, a true master and pioneer, and all his team at the Clinica La Sagrada Familia (Buenos Aires, Argentina).
The best is yet to come ;-) neuronewsinternational.com/c…

New #publication alert!
How do #strokes occur independent of degree of carotid artery stenosis? Can the mechanical force of blood cause plaque disruption leading to #stroke?🤔
Check out our latest publication which answers these very pertinent questions!

New set of eyes for neurointerventionalists! @SavastanoLuisMD presenting our work on Laser Angioscope in diagnosis and treatment of #carotid #disease at @WLNC2020 #WLNC2022 @VerAvanti
Check out our latest paper on the use of #OCT in #carotid #interventions for #stroke in @INR_WFITN. R&D of new intravascular technologies is another area of expertise of our lab. Have a look!

Give up #neurotwitter? Well the correct answer is: a human cadaveric model!
Go check out our recently published paper @JNIS_BMJ which presents this novel model for #mechanical #thrombectomy in #stroke. Let us know what you think in the comments!
dx.doi.org/10.1136/neurintsu…
Hey #neurotwitter, here's a little trivia. Where do you think is the #mechanical #thrombectomy happening in the video below:
1. A glass phantom
2. A silicone phantom
3. A large animal model
4. A human cadaveric model
5. A patient with LVO
Let us know in the comments!

Hey #NeuroTwitter did you miss us? Well here is a comeback post with our recent work on a new approach to the classic #CEA surgery.
Looking to obtain high quality atheroma specimens? This approach is definitely for you! #stroke #Neurosurgery

Have you encountered a radial loop before?
On our way to an IMax for epistaxis, we used the microwire & microcatheter to undo a radial loop.
Note how the artery takes its native shape at the end. Like we were never there.
@YoungNIR @cvsection #radial
Hey #neurotwitter! You guessed it right, arterial collapse during #thrombectomy for #stroke does happen often but we don't see it!
Have a look at our latest paper in @TheAJNR which details this phenomenon doi.org/10.3174/ajnr.A7389
@SavastanoLuisMD @WBrinjikji @Yang_Liu_1
Hey #NeuroTwitter: How often do you think arterial collapse is happening during aspiration #thromebctomy for #stroke?
0%Never happens
5%Very rarely
10%Only in small arteries
86%Often but we don't see it
