Neuroendovascular Fellowship Curriculum
The Department of Neurological Surgery is proud to provide this CAST-accredited Neuroendovascular Fellowship for those looking to train under world-class faculty in an affordable and vibrant city.
Our Curriculum
Fellows receive extensive exposure, with an annual case volume of over 1,000, across a broad array of pathology in cerebrovascular, including diagnostic cerebral and spinal angiography; venous manometry; ischemic stroke such as mechanical thrombectomy, intracranial and extracranial angioplasty and stenting and intra-arterial thrombolysis; hemorrhagic stroke such as aneurysm repair using coils/stents/flow diverting stents, arteriovenous malformation embolization and dural arteriovenous fistula embolization; blunt and penetrating cervical/cerebrovascular injury; otolaryngological emergencies; idiopathic intracranial hypertension stenting; brain tumor embolization; subdural hematoma embolization; and more. Fellows will be exposed to both radial and femoral approaches for both diagnostic and interventional cases. Fellows also lead our weekly cerebrovascular case conference for resident education.
In addition to the topics covered under the Curriculum, optional research opportunities available include: clinical outcomes for patients with dural arteriovenous fistulae, aneurysms and stroke as part of large, multi-center consortiums; animal models of hemorrhagic stroke; and computational fluid dynamics.
