After long years of hard work @AmuluruKrishna & I are proud to publish the 1st ed. of #CerebrovascularDisorders in @SpringerNature's @NeuroMethods Educating future generations on the nuances of cerebrovascular diseases is a true labor of love Thank you to all our collaborators.
🚨 Historic moment from Capitol Hill! The first-ever @MThrombectomy advocacy day brought together stroke physicians, EMS leaders, and policymakers to expand access to MT worldwide. 🧠🤝🏛️💉 The mission to save brains continues. #StrokeAwareness @MThrombectomy @svinsociety…
We are excited to share photos from the first @MThrombectomy on the Hill! Multi stakeholder collaboration and communication with policymakers remains crucial in developing MT stroke systems of care to accelerate and expand access to MT. The mission continues 🏛️🧠⏳💉

With my brother Kiwon Lee at #NYSIN25 — the neurocritical care session is coming up next! #curingcoma @WMCHealth @nymcbrainspine
I’m blessed to have the chance to soon train under the supervision of Dr. Al-Mufti! Mentorship is not only about supervision, it is about growth and helping the mentee build their own mindset in the field. @almuftifawaz @WMCHealth
Few things are more momentous than seeing one’s fellow graduate. I used to think academic success was measured in case volume & publications. But over time, I’ve realized the true legacy is mentorship. Watching a fellow grow over 24 months—from their first cautious steps in the…
Last night’s CHICAGO: Interventional-Neurosciences Course's reception at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures, @UniversityChicago, was amazing. Surrounded by an amazing collection antiquities from Mesopotamia including the iconic winged bull (lamassu). A perfect…
Fantastic kickoff to CHICAGO: Comprehensive Hybrid Interventional-Neurology Course and Guided Overview. The energy and excitement were palpable. Terrific organization by @TareqKass & @ThindSonam @UChicago Proudly @svinsociety - endorsed! #NeuroIntervention #SVIN…
First case of mission thrombectomy @svinsociety very successful using the first 7X aspiration catheter in Chicagoland @ImpCare_Stroke Register for our e-fellowship cme.uchicago.edu/NSF25 to learn best practice in NIR and get free access to CHICAGO access cme.uchicago.edu/ChicagoNeuro20…
July 14 was a milestone—and a career highlight. @svinsociety @MThrombectomy organized #MToHill, we met 22 congressional offices including @CongressmanRaja & Congressman @RepGLatimer to push for bipartisan action: standardized EMS stroke education via the free Advanced Stroke…
Flow diverter power. Ruptured big ica aneurysm, coiled in acute setting followed by flow diverter in second stage. Control MR shows retraction of temporal horn due to aneurysmal reduction. @daigaole @jildazz @italolinfante @neuroangio1 @ikeafonso1 @almuftifawaz @PascalJabbourMD
🔊🔊@svinsociety and Northwell Health are now co-branding the Cerebral Venous Disorders Symposium and working together to make this the premier conference on Cerebral Venous Disorders. The “SVIN Cerebral Venous Disorders Symposium hosted by Northwell Health” will take place on…
Happy Independence Day from SVIN! 🎇 As we reflect on independence and innovation, we’re grateful for the clinicians, researchers, and partners working tirelessly to improve patient outcomes every day. #SVIN #FourthofJuly #IndependenceDay
The sun was setting on my stressful, vertiginous drive from Positano along the Amalfi Coast. For 18 minutes, I did something I rarely allow myself to do: nothing. I pulled over. Watched the sun set. Listened. Breathed. Well—almost nothing. I recorded it in hyperlapse—not to…
Greatest meeting of the year - @JacobsInstitute 3C complication course 2025 in Jackson hole 🏔️ with @AmeerEHassan @ShailThankiMD @MajidiShahram @_AdnanSiddiqui and many many many more friends and colleagues from all over the world 🌎
New study: stroke thrombectomy is faster when neurology-trained cath lab techs are in the room, 10 min faster to first pass! Every minute counts. This is exactly why SVIN’s SILC certification aims to raise standards and consistency in stroke labs around the globe. #TimeIsBrain…

Very eloquently put as always, you are a phenomenal mentor & teacher @almuftifawaz, your legacy continues through your fellows & spreads wide , my career and trajectory being one which is heavily indebted &influenced by you. Congratulations to this graduating class !!
Way to think outside the box, @AmeerEHassan . Here’s the thing—not everyone arrives in time, not everyone can get tPA, and not every zip code has a neurointerventionalist on call. So what’s the backup plan? Enter: Histotripsy. Non-invasive ultrasound that liquefies clots in…
🚨 No drugs. No wires. No incisions. Just sound waves. For the first time, we’ve used focused ultrasound to completely liquefy stroke clots in under 2 minutes—without the need for thrombolytics or catheters. Our latest study on histotripsy marks a major step toward a…
