@mtlawton An absolute pleasure to have @mtlawton and #Dr. T here to discuss all things #cavernoma #cartography #connectomunculus #schwannoma? #brain #tumor

[Kunal Raygor, MD @kunalraygor]

Excited for an invigorating day of resident research talks, hosted by @mtlawton ! #Vanderbilt #Neurosurgery #GeorgeAllen

[Kunal Raygor, MD @kunalraygor]

PGY4 and future vascular neurosurgeon, @LohitVelagapudi giving a fantastic talk on radiographic predictors of revascularization after EDAS for #moyamoya disease. @VanderbiltCV

[Kunal Raygor, MD @kunalraygor]

@mtlawton @gkouts8 @VanderbiltCV @JanKarlBurkhar1 @visishs you’re getting a stellar fellow next year!

[Kunal Raygor, MD @kunalraygor]

@mtlawton Phenomenal talk by future pediatric/vascular neurosurgeon @gkouts8 on genomic factors underlying revascularization in #moyamoya disease @VanderbiltCV

[Elad Levy @EladLevyMD]

Team is ready to share our process and workflow for #carotid artery stenting!

Looking forward to a great live case this morning - the first carotid stent procedure performed in an ambulatory setting. Be a part of history and witness the future of neuroendovascular care! @UB_Neurosurgery @EladLevyMD @CNS_Update @SiemensHealth @Medtronic

[UCSF Neurosurgery @NeurosurgUCSF]

Congratulations to @UCSFHospitals neurosurgeon Shawn Hervey-Jumper, MD, on receiving the Guha Award from @TumorSection & @NeuroOnc! 🎉 This award recognizes his lab’s research advances in cancer neuroscience and his dedication to mentoring. #2025CNS @CNS_Update

Subdural hematomas often represent sequelae of arteriovenous fistulae contained within meningeal vessels, hence the effectiveness of MMA embolization, as shown in this Onyx embolization of a parietal branch #neuroendovascular #neuroanatomy #cerebrovascular #neurosurgery

Delighted to welcome @SalehLamin to Buffalo to help proctor the first @Medtronic  Artisse endosaccular aneurysm cases at the Gates Vascular Institute (@KaleidaHealth)

#Cowboys need #lassos:

After post-deployment rotation of a WEB, the inferior M2 branch was occluded.

1. Flow matters- give #Integrilin
2. 5F catheter parked at aneurysms neck
3. Snare in an micro-catheter
4. Lasso the WEB around the detachment zone and extract

@ManishKAghi @NeurosurgUCSF @robcosorio @AANS @josephoh0517 @robcosorio congrats on this impressive project! Keep up the good work, excited to see you continue to thrive as a resident!

[Manish Aghi, MD PhD @ManishKAghi]

Congrats to @NeurosurgUCSF PGY1 @robcosorio for his @aans plenary talk describing work completed by him and his coresident @josephoh0517 in my lab defining PitNET tumors st the single cell level, challenging the current classification scheme. #AANS2025

[Michael Lang @DrMichaelJLang]

The perfect jump shot is built in the gym, when you're tired and no one is watching.

Love to see @PittNeurosurg residents putting in microanastomosis reps in the lab so they're ready to shine in the OR.

Special thanks to @DrJosephMaroon for donating the instrument sets!

Tortuous carotid anatomy can be controlled using the the combination of #balloon anchor ⚓️ and #balloon sail techniques⛵️. #HEAVYMETAL

Additionally PROXIMAL #embolic protection is used when distal landing zones are challenging. #airbag

NEW CASE!

​7F Dude catheter navigates severely tortuous cervical vertebral anatomy with excellent stability to deliver a flow diverter in distal basilar artery.

Complex #aneurysms require elegant solutions. Here we show a stent-in-stent construct to protect the PCA and SCA.

We use our “roller coaster” technique to navigate #inflow—>outflow of the SCA.

Nuanced understanding of stent characteristics and advanced techniques are needed.
