Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, the Editor-in-Chief of JNIS, Robert Tarr, is joined by David Fiorella, the corresponding author of the study, "Final results of the US humanitarian device exemption study of the low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) device".

Dr Fiorella, from the Department of Neurological Surgery, Stony Brook University Medical Center, New York, concludes that the LVIS device facilitates coil embolization of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms with high rates of technical success. The process also granted an excellent safety profile, and very high rates of complete and near-complete occlusion at follow-up.
