In this episode of INR Stories, Nanthiya Sujijantarat welcomes Ajay Wakhloo. He reflects on his journey from early experimental work in Europe to becoming one of the pioneers of flow diversion for brain aneurysms. Ajay Wakhloo shares his vision for the future of neurointervention, from regenerative aneurysm healing and laser-based technologies to endocisternal approaches.

Key topics discussed

• The origins of flow diversion and how experimental observations led to a paradigm shift in aneurysm treatment
• Innovation at the intersection of medicine, engineering, and fluid mechanics
• Regenerative approaches to aneurysm healing and the role of laser-induced vascular repair
• Emerging technologies, including endocisternal access, neuromodulation, and direct carotid puncture for stroke care
• Advice for young physicians on creativity, perseverance, and building an innovation mindset
