[Simone Peschillo, M.D., Ph.D. @S_Pesch]

We are thrilled to finally share the results of 20 months of dedicated work, involving 15 of the world’s leading neurovascular centers and the analysis of 2,647 patients. This effort has culminated in the validation of the M.A.R.T.A. Score (#Associated #Risks to the #Treatment of #Unruptured #Intracranial #Aneurysms), now published in @NeurosurgeryCNS : https://t.co/O9f1DmHjAQ

This study aimed to develop and validate the #MARTA #Score, using routinely collected patient, aneurysm, and treatment data to #predict the risk of complications and help guide decision-making toward the treatment—#endovascular (EVT) or #neurosurgical (NT) for #unruptured intracranial #aneurysms.
It performs strongly compared to other established scores, such as #SAFETEA and #SCC.

We hope this tool will prove valuable in clinical practice for guiding treatment decisions and improving patient care.

To PFT or not to PFT? We undertook an investigation of 13 institutions and found that platelet function testing before PED treatment of intracranial aneurysms in the context of ASA/clopidogrel DAPT may not reduce risk of procedure-related complications.

Great presentation by our superstar researcher Mahlet Mekonnen on arterial embolization in meningioma! @TheYangLab1 #NASBS2024 #skullbase @NASBSorg @IsaacYangMD @UCLAHealth @UCLANsgy @HarborUCLA @HarborUCLASurg @EladLevyMD @ammadbaigmd @UBNeuro

This is an excellent and interesting meta analysis showing effectiveness of exercise. Especially pertinent in #neurosurgery.

[Elad Levy @EladLevyMD]

#Wellness is critical to maintaining and improving mental health. This is why we put in a resident #gym and @onepeloton bikes @UB_Neurosurgery. Encourage physical activity daily! @CNS_Update @CNSResidents @JeremyHowick @lola_chambless @Twilli7

[Ammad A Baig @ammadbaigmd]

Such a remarkable achievement!

[Jason Davies, MD,PhD @JMDaviesMDPhD]

3 randomized trials. 3 positive results. Paradigm shift in the treatment of subdurals. More data coming and much science to learn but this is an encouraging start.

Potentially landmark RCT trial from @UB_Neurosurgery on MMA embolization for cSDH at #ISC2024 conference this year. @JMDaviesMDPhD @EladLevyMD @_AdnanSiddiqui @ubnsvascular

[Jason Davies, MD,PhD @JMDaviesMDPhD]

Tune into #ISC24 on 2/9 for a special session on MMA embo for SDH. Jared Knopman and I will be presenting results for the surgical arm of the EMBOLISE trial. @AHAScience @UB_Neurosurgery @Medtronic @_AdnanSiddiqui

[Adnan H. Siddiqui, MD @_AdnanSiddiqui]

Completed my first #endovascular cases at the #AtlasSurgeryCenter! Excited about this next phase of outpatient #neurointervention!

48% of patients/families think mRS 3 is reasonable outcome after thrombectomy. 26% consider mRS 4 acceptable. Time to rethink "mRS 0-2 = good outcome" dogma @USFNeurosurgery @ElliotPressman @ShailThankiMD @ShahidNimjee @eva_mistry @AmeerEHassan @KunalVakhariaMD @WaldoGuerrero82

Amazing work @ubnsvascular team! 🎉🎉🎉

The 'expanded' in expanded endonasal surgery isn't just a term - it describes the additional surgical opportunities through the nose.

This approach uses the nose as a natural corridor to reach the brain's base, making surgery less invasive & recovery quicker.
