Neurointerventionalist interested in intra-arterial chemotherapy and venous sinus stenting

The River stent is FDA approved. Finally.

This a remarkable story of medical reversal that every doctor should read. High dose dexamethasone was a standard component of chemo for multiple myeloma (I remember this from residency in the 1990s) until this practice was challenged by a patient advocate and subjected to an RCT which showed it was very harmful. Echoes of the CAST trial for antiarrhythmic drugs. In both cases, experienced clinicians were unable to see harm in practice without the clarity of RCTs. We should always be questioning what medical practices now accepted as "standard of care" are actually harmful. @adamcifu @drjohnm @VPrasadMDMPH @AndrewFoy82

🎗️ IIH Awareness Month 🎗️
Dr. Sofia Cienfuegos shares how weight bias and stigma impact care for those with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). Awareness + education are key for this underdiagnosed condition.

Another reported series of patients with spinal CSF-venous fistulas treated by endovascular embolization expands the data available supporting this novel treatment paradigm. Schreiber et al. report a series of 21 patients undergoing 23 procedures with 86% of patients experiencing both clinical and radiographic resolution of their symptoms of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. No major neurological complications occurred as a result of the procedure. https://t.co/hPVSd3QlaW #embolization #SAH

In idiopathic intracranial hypertension, lumbar puncture opening pressure strongly correlated with venous sinus pressure gradient (r = 0.76). Patients with higher gradients may derive the most benefit from venous sinus stenting.

🚨 VSSS is safe and effective! 🚨

The River Stent Trial confirms venous sinus stenosis stenting (VSSS) is safe and effective treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Commentary discusses how clinical practices have evolved to prioritize noninvasive methods for post-stent evaluations. 🧠💡

How accurate is assessment of extrinsic vs. intrinsic venous sinus stenosis on MRV? Obviously intrinsic after stent deployment in this case. Venous angioplasty is then a distinct technique, with serial upsizing of noncompliant balloons.
