NEW ASPIRATION TECHNOLOGY TO REMOVE BRAIN CLOTS DURING STROKE. Always great test new technologies in lab. APA works novel mechanism. Although cyclical aspiration tested > 10 years ago, has not made to clinical practise outside of trials. Time #ReADAPT aspiration procedure.
Great team effort. Under the @evanluthermd era I think record was 7 in one day and weekend record was 6 on a Saturday. Hope we never have to go back to that!
4 strokes in 4 days. Basilar occlusion, ICAD, ICAt, + tandem occlusion. Lucky to train @StrokeMiami @UMneurosurgery @JacksonHealth Especially thankful to my junior fellow Luis Guada MD. All gas, no brakes ⛽️ Been an exceptional year. #stroke #endovascular #neurosurgery #youngNIR
