Dr. Charles Matouk (Charles Matouk) has a message to share during Stroke Awareness Month: “There are things that can be done to reduce the impact of a stroke on your life. In some cases, even reverse the effects of a stroke.”

Study: TCAR was successfully used in 20 patients for #endovascular treatment of various neurovascular conditions like ICAD and aneurysm #flowdiversion bit.ly/4bnPNFY Charles Matouk @SujijantaratMD Joseph P. Antonios Andrew Koo, MD Abdelaziz Amllay, MD Kevin Sheth Daniela Renedo

When access is difficult or there is a desire to use a neuroprotection strategy for intracranial neurovascular procedures, we have found off-label use of Silk Road Medical's Open Transcarotid System to be invaluable. 

Check out our Yale experience!

Huge congrats to Adel Malek, Carl Heilman, and the CereVasc Team led by Dan Levangie on getting to this important milestone!

So thrilled to be on this journey with you. Let's get it started!

These data help establish a new, comprehensive procedural benchmark, FPE30, that may better represent the ideal of fast, complete reperfusion with a single pass of a thrombectomy device.

So proud of Andrew Koo for his leadership on seeing this project through to fruition.

We can improve brain health outcomes in cardiac surgery if we provide life changing stroke treatments in patients who are at high risk! #BrainHealth Yale School of Medicine Charles Matouk Richa Sharma, MD, MPH Shadi Yaghi Hooman Kamel

Don't miss out on this webinar, Tuesday, January 24th at 8:00 PM EST. Our guest speakers will be covering the management of multiple aneurysms in the setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Great work from Kevin Sheth's lab exploring the integration of clinical information and a deep learning algorithm on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) detection using the Swoop Portable MR Imaging System (Hyperfine). Beautiful work from the wards of Yale-New Haven Hospital ...

Just super proud of our post-doctoral research fellow, Daniela Renedo, for leading this highly collaborative effort between the Yale Departments of Neurology & Neurosurgery. Way to go, Daniela! #ISC2023 Stroke AHA/ASA

Inspiring conversation with Dr. Charles Matouk of Yale Department of Neurosurgery on lessons from transcarotid artery revascularization for thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. Neurosurgeons used to routinely use transcarotid approach, what’s old is new again #stroke

Congrats to Penumbra and the National PIs, Don Frei and Dave Fiorella, for launching this trial of modulated aspiration in mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.

Honored to be part of this journey with Adel Malek, Carl Heilman, and the rest of the CereVasc Team.

I'm a big believer in the value of frailty in risk stratification for the treatment of neurological disease. Our most recent study shows that frailty is an independent predictor of adverse events and thirty-day hospital readmission.

Recharged and ready to go! Let's get at it ...

So much fun getting to know these brilliant, young engineering minds interested in medical device development. Who knows what the future holds -- sky's the limit!

Another foundational insight from Yale's Falcone Lab ...

These results bolster the existing inconclusive evidence linking vitD levels and spontaneous ICH.

In neurovascular surgery -- open or endovascular -- treatment options can be categorized as 'reconstructive' or 'deconstructive.' Deconstruction — where the parent vessel is sacrificed to treat the pathology — is still a great tool in the toolbox.

Closing out #StrokeAwarenessMonth with a reminder of how far we have come. Thank you Charles Matouk for sharing your perspective on ADAPT
