🌀 Why do some aneurysms occlude quickly after flow diversion despite persistent high-speed flow?
This JNIS study suggests that aneurysm occlusion is not driven by flow reduction alone.
In fast-occluding aneurysms, progressive fibrin accumulation across the flow diverter disrupted the inflow jet, increased neck coverage, and substantially reduced intra-aneurysmal velocity.
A fascinating look at the biology and hemodynamics behind successful flow diversion.

If this is not #Evolution of neurosurgery, I don't know what it is. Thank you Dr. @EladLevyMD for once again leading the pack! @CNSResidents @CNS_Update @cvsection
What does the next frontier of neurosurgery look like?
Increasingly, it is outpatient.
At #CNS2026, join @EladLevyMD and leaders in the field for a symposium on the future of outpatient neurosurgery—exploring procedure selection, safety, technology, research, and sustainable practice models.
The shift to ambulatory care is already underway. Help shape what comes next.

The best surgical bypasses mimic nature’s design, like anterior & posterior communicating arteries in the circle of Willis, drawing flow on demand. Arteries that run parallel and in close proximity can be joined w/ side-to-side anastomosis to create an intracranial-to-intracranial bypass, like this A3-A3 construct…#SevenBypasses

Practice night for @CNS_Update Annual Meeting presentations by our all-star @UKYMedicine medical students! Very much looking forward to the meeting and seeing our crew show out in force in DC! @uk_neurosurgery @CNSResidents
Can we predict how a flow diverter will actually deploy before we deploy it? 🧠💻
In a real-world simulation-guided workflow, Ankyras closely predicted PED:
🎯 Deployed length: MAE 1.24 mm
📍 Proximal landing zone: MAE 1.34 mm
📈 Strong correlations: r=0.91 and 0.94
Virtual planning may be moving closer to real-world deployment.

🎙️ New JNIS Podcast | AI in acute stroke
Can an LLM make thrombectomy decisions at expert level? 🧠🤖
Dr. Michael Chen speaks with Dr. Aymen Meddeb about AI-assisted stroke triage.
In 80 real-world AIS cases, the top-performing LLM achieved:
⚡ 87% MT accuracy
💉 78% IVT accuracy
The bigger question: could LLMs support stroke decisions when specialist expertise is not immediately available?

We are proud to announce that Christopher P. Kellner, MD, has been elected Chair of the joint American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (AANS/CNS) Cerebrovascular Section.
“I’m excited to take on the role of chair of the CV Section and build on the strong foundation that leaders before me have developed. We will continue to engage trainees and international societies, and to integrate artificial intelligence into cerebrovascular neurosurgery so we continue to further our mission of improving research and patient care,” said Dr. Kellner.

In this most recent publication by the one and only @VictorGabriel_H our research fellow @TJUHNeurosurg Symptom burden and diagnostic delays in CCFs did not predict post-treatment recovery: durable angiographic occlusion was the key determinant of outcome! @NeurosurgeryCNS @CNS_Update @cvsection
The NREF is proud to support these outstanding CAST-certified neurointerventionalists as they expand their expertise through observerships at leading high-volume cerebrovascular centers.
In a rapidly evolving field, opportunities for hands-on knowledge sharing are essential. This fellowship honors clinical excellence and ensures continued growth, collaboration and innovation in cerebrovascular care. @cvsection #NREF #NeurosurgeryAwarenessMonth
