Andrew Koo, MD

End of an era. Two year enfolded neuroendovascular fellowship with @MatoukCharles and Ryan Hebert, MD. Thank you for the trust and mentorship only time could have built. And thank you, patients and families, for your trust in us. Onwards to chief residency at #YaleNeurosurgery

🧠 In a prospective multicenter study of 66 patients with NPH, transvenous eShunt placement showed no device-related SAEs at 90 days and significant improvements in gait, cognition, and urinary symptoms. 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/4az2ZtQ

Good day to be a Tar Heel !

Amazing work @DadaRenedo, Congratulations !!

@PoojaKhatriMD honored at #ISC26 @AHAScience with the Feinberg Award for her decades of contributions to improving stroke science and outcomes. Great and humble leader and newly appointed Chair of Neurology @YaleMed. A distinguished career recognized by her peers!

In a study based on the UK Biobank, SLAMF1 (a receptor involved in modulating innate and adaptive immune responses) was associated with increased risk of SAH. #stroke ahajrnls.org/47PFrzw

Thanks @NN_publishing for featuring our work! @musc_star @EmoryNeurosurg

We all know that ⏰ is 🧠. Do different time intervals have different impacts on outcomes? This large retrospective study demonstrates that procedure duration predicts outcomes more than prehospital delay for EVTs! This emphasizes the importance of skilled interventionalists performing thrombectomies! @musc_star @alex_spiotta @AliAlawiehmdphd bit.ly/3IyOMls

Single-cell RNA-seq of #stroke clots reveals cause-specific signatures, suggesting new biomarkers. #AHAJournals @DadaRenedo @jn_acosta @sujijantaratMD @AndrewBKoo @CyprienRivier @SanticlocMD @jpantonios @GuidoFalconeMD @LaurenHSansing @MatoukCharles ahajrnls.org/46n4fOF

New study out: 📊 In neurointerventional surgery, women remain only 1 in 10 authors. First authorship ↑ (10%→17%), but senior/last authorship barely moved (6%→9%). Progress is happening, but equity in leadership is still far away.

Thank you, @GreenJournal , for highlighting our study on ischemic stroke rates and outcomes after cardiac interventions in the US 🫀🧠 Grateful to the @YaleMed Neurology, NSGY, CT Surgery teams for their collaboration #Stroke #neurotwitter #TeamScience

An amazing event filled with incredible science and innovation in the neuroendovascular community! Thank you for the invitation to discuss our workup and management of pulsatile tinnitus.

New multicenter study reveals limitations of medical management for infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs). Early surgical or endovascular intervention shows better outcomes for high-risk patients. 🧠💉 #NeuroSurgery #StrokeCare @JNIS_BMJ bit.ly/43JL2oV

🚀 Breaking new ground in hydrocephalus treatment! 🌟 The eShunt System by CereVasc, featured in @JNIS_BMJ, offers an innovative endovascularly implantable cerebrospinal fluid shunt. Dive into the technical video for a step-by-step guide, key anatomic insights, and strategies to overcome common challenges. #MedicalInnovation #Neurosurgery #TechInMedicine 📽️👉 bit.ly/3FgWVcA

A fantastic time at the annual New England skull base lab hosted this year at Yale. Reconnecting with longtime friends and mentors, while forming new relationships. Thank you to course faculty Dr Moliterno, @wenyalindabi, @CKLeeMD, Dr Liebelt ! #nsgy @StrykerNS @NENeurosurgery

Excited to share our new technical video on the eShunt System-a novel endovascular approach for treating communicating hydrocephalus. Watch step-by-step deployment and learn key procedural tips: jnis.bmj.com/content/early/… #Neurosurgery #Hydrocephalus @JNIS_BMJ

Performing an MMA embolisation procedure during the same anaesthesia session as a burr hole evacuation surgery represents a safe and potentially resource-efficient approach to cSDH management, as per a recent @JNIS_BMJ paper from @MatoukCharles et al neuronewsinternational.com/single-session…

We all want hydrocephalus treatment that isn't brain surgery. Diana Gray, CEO at HA speaks with Dr. @MatoukCharles from @Yale about the eShunt System - a minimally invasive treatment that could revolutionize how #hydrocephalus is managed. 📹 youtu.be/R7QYnoNMXXg @CereVasc

Amazing work by Yale co-fellow @DadaRenedo leveraging the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines (AHA-GWTG) Stroke Registry. Congrats, Daniela!

Great work led by @san_murthy and @sheth_kevin leveraging #GWTG data to evaluate functional outcomes of #ICH patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery. Better outcomes! ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…
