What defines best practice in diagnostic cerebral angiography (DCA) today? These updated guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for contemporary DCA practice, spanning technique, safety, complication management, reporting, and patient-centered care. 🧠📖 @SNISinfo @esmintsociety @anzsnr 🔗 Read more at bit.ly/42IHF0e

The next #SNISInsights webinar “Complications and Bailouts: Tips and Tricks” is 4/21 at 4PM ET. Panelists @Doctor_OC_, Kasra Khatibi, MD and Neil Patel, MD will list down with Luciano Ponce Mejia, MD and SNIS Education Chair @JPTsaiMD. Register: register.gotowebinar.com/register/76648…

Glomus tympanicum: a remarkable atlas of middle ear blood supply. Superior tympanic A. from MMA, inferior tympanic A. from APA, small pharyngotympanic A. from APA, stylomastoid A. from Post. auricular A. But no labyrinthine A. from AICA or no caroticotympanic A. from ICA.

All of us at #SNIS are thrilled to welcome the inaugural Neurointerventional Match class! Our board members wanted to share their congratulations. Hear from @JPTsaiMD, @blaise_baxter, @MajidiShahram, @dr_mchen and @ClemensSchirmer below. #MatchDay2026 #Neurointerventional

Redefining the Cerebral Ischemic Core-Penumbra-Oligemia Continuum | Stroke ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

Among adults with acute #ischemic #stroke treated 4.5 to 24 hours after onset, intravenous #tenecteplase prior to EVT did not increase functional independence or reduce disability compared with EVT alone. #ESOC2026 @ESOstroke ja.ma/4nhCMEV

In select group of mild stroke patients with mismatch volume of 50 ml or more, EVT shows benefit in the MILD MT trial. In study from China, most patients had ICAD. About 1/3 of pts who received medical therapy alone had early worsening #ESOC2026

In acute #ischemic #stroke without large/medium vessel occlusion, adjunctive IV #tirofiban after suboptimal #tenecteplase response improved excellent outcomes, with low risk of symptomatic intracranial #hemorrhage. #ESOC2026 @ESOstroke ja.ma/49uIduf

📊 Research Summary: For adults with acute #ischemicstroke presenting 4.5 to 24 hours after symptom onset, the addition of intravenous #tenecteplase before EVT did not improve 90-day clinical outcomes and showed no significant difference in safety compared with EVT alone. #ESOC2026 @ESOstroke ja.ma/42qT190

BEST-BAO trial reports no additional benefit with alteplase plus EVT vs EVT alone in basilar artery occlusion presenting <4.5 hours

Could targeting the middle meningeal artery help reduce headache and opioid use after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage? In this JNIS pilot study, MMA infusion of lidocaine ± dexamethasone during aneurysm embolization was associated with reduced pain burden, lower opioid use, and no complications in patients with low-grade aSAH. @PeterKa80460001 @utmbhealth @UTMBNeurosurg @DrHongTao Read more: bit.ly/3OZgScN

Spinal epidural abscess is an infection in the epidural space commonly caused by 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴. Symptoms include back pain, neck pain, fever, and neurologic symptoms.

In the phase 3 OCEANIC-STROKE trial involving patients with noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA, asundexian added to antiplatelet therapy led to a lower risk of ischemic stroke without increasing major bleeding.

💊Early DOAC initiation is safe and non-inferior to delayed treatment regardless of infarct volume ❌⏱️No evidence that anticoagulation initiation should be delayed beyond 4 days on the basis of infarct size Read the paper here!👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… @UCLStrokeRes

🔎🧠In 298 aneurysms, jailing vs re-crossing in stent-assisted coiling showed similar procedure metrics, no significant difference in safety events at 12 months, and comparable occlusion rates (89.4% vs 83.9%). Read more: bit.ly/40NJOGX @AshuPJadhav @BrianJankowitz @_AdnanSiddiqui
