New in @TheAJNR: Can CT perfusion guide your cervical approach in acute stroke before EVT?
Our study shows lower HIR & specific Tmax mismatch ratios point to underlying ICA atherosclerosis, allowing for early etiology triage & tailored procedural planning

Officially graduated from medical school today.
Honored to begin the next chapter as Eric M. Teichner, MD, and deeply grateful to the mentors, friends, and family who supported me along the way.
Excited for all that’s ahead.

IR may not ask you to open the skull, but it absolutely demands the same trait: tenacity. The willingness to keep showing up and solving difficult problems under pressure. Kudos to @BarrowNeuro for this series.
What makes a great #neurosurgeon? We set out to answer this question with season four of Barrow Neurosurgery Base Camp. Today, we're bringing you our 10th "trait of greatness" with the season finale: "On Tenacity."
“I think I’ve always just called myself stubborn,” said Anna Huguenard, MD, who trained at #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute as a cerebrovascular and skull base fellow. “Whether you call that stubbornness or tenacity, that willingness to just keep coming back is so important to actually becoming a master.”
In the season finale, Barrow #neurosurgery faculty and trainees share personal stories of unwavering determination and reflect on what drives them to keep going—even on the most challenging days.
You’ll also get to hear from the following special guests:
-Fred G. Barker II, MD, Director of Cranial Base Surgery, @MassGeneralNews
-Richard G. Ellenbogen, MD, FACS, Chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery, @UWMedicine
-Kevin T. Foley, MD, Chair, @SemmesMurphey Clinic
-@AdamArthurMD, Neurosurgeon, Semmes Murphey Clinic; Chief Medical Officer, @Medtronic
-@DanielYoshor, MD, Chair, Department of Neurosurgery, @PennMedicine

ERAS data from this cycle: 245 integrated Interventional Radiology positions filled among 541 applicants (~45% match rate). A striking reflection of the specialty’s selectivity and growth. #Match2026#SIRRFS#IRRadRes
This is a brain artery rupturing in the middle of a angio procedure. You see blood actively leaking into brain. It requires urgent airway and external ventricular drain and is 10/10 scary.
Introducing the Interventional MRI Suite, setting a new standard for interventional medicine.
Developed in partnership with Siemens Healthineers, the suite supports radiation-free, MRI-guided procedures.

“We have provided new hope for post-thrombotic syndrome [PTS] patients” said Suresh Vedantham (St Louis), presenting the C-TRACT trial results which showed in patients with moderate or severe PTS, endovascular therapy reduced symptom severity and improved QOL

Today marked the opening of one of our brand new Interventional Neuroradiology suites. Congrats to @TJUHospital, @TJUHNeurosurg & Farber Neuroscience for the collaboration; an exciting step forward in expanding access to advanced cerebrovascular care for our patients.
Presented at #SIR26TOR:
Among patients with moderate or severe PTS, the addition of endovascular therapy to standard care resulted in less severe PTS and better quality of life at 6 months than standard care alone but with a higher risk of bleeding. Full phase 3 C-TRACT trial results: https://t.co/r2a9OzBLfw

Got The Gross Clinic at my White Coat Ceremony as a symbol of surgery at Jefferson.
150 years later, we’re treating the same diseases—just without opening the body.
Interventional Radiology is that evolution.
