June 25, 2021 Ophthalmic artery occlusion in intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in children.
In this podcast, JNIS Editor-In-Chief Felipe C. Albuquerque and Pascal Jabbour discuss a study from July’s issue, concluding that local factors relating to the chemotherapy and selective microcatheterization of the ophthalmic artery are essential factors in the development of ophthalmic artery thrombosis, as seen by the association of ophthalmic artery thrombosis with the frequency of intra-arterial chemotherapy.
Dr Jabbour, Department of Neurological Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, USA, is the corresponding author of 'Incidence and predictors of ophthalmic artery occlusion in intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma' - https://jnis.bmj.com/content/13/7/652

April 01, 2021 Complete flow control in transvenous embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
In this podcast, JNIS Editor-In-Chief Felipe C. Albuquerque and Adnan Siddiqui discuss a case series that describes complete flow control using concurrent transient rapid ventricular pacing with afferent arterial balloon flow arrest technique as “safe and feasible” for transvenous embolization of select cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM).
Dr Siddiqui (Department of Neurosurgery, University at Buffalo, NY, USA) is the lead author of “Complete flow control using transient concurrent rapid ventricular pacing or intravenous adenosine and afferent arterial balloon occlusion during transvenous embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations: case series”, published in the April 2021 issue of JNIS.

February 15, 2021 COVID-19: the downtrend of African American stroke patients receiving mechanical thrombectomy
JNIS Editor-In-Chief, Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Sami Al Kasab and Alejandro Spiotta, both from the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, USA. They discuss the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry data showing an “alarming downtrend in mechanical thrombectomy rates in African American patients during the COVID-19 pandemic”.

December 02, 2020 Environmental sustainability in neurointerventional procedures
Operating rooms contribute between 20% to 70% of hospital waste. Neurointerventional procedures, in particular, generate a substantial amount of that waste: an average of 8 kg per case, recently aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
JNIS Editor-In-Chief, Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Pey Ling Shum, Monash Health, Clayton, Victoria, Australia, about her recent paper “Environmental sustainability in neurointerventional procedures: a waste audit” - https://jnis.bmj.com/content/12/11/1053

September 24, 2020 Being a female physician in a male-dominated speciality
Sexism is common place in one of the most male-dominated subspecialties in medicine. Despite this, the prevalence of women physicians in neurointervention is steadily rising.
In this podcast, JNIS Editor-In-Chief, Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews neurointerventionalists Stephanie H Chen - Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami School of Medicine - and Marie-Christine Brunet - Department of Neurological Surgery (NEUR) at McGill University - about the challenges of being a female physician in this field.
They are the authors of the first study examining the amount of maternal and fetal radiation exposure during a pregnant neurointerventional fellow’s training. Spoiler alert: the findings suggest that, when optimal radiation safety practices are implemented, the fetal dose of a pregnant neurointerventionalist is negligible.

August 20, 2020 Transarterial and transvenous access in neurointervention
The recommendations resulting from the report of the SNIS Standards and Guidelines Committee on transarterial access are discussed in this podcast.
JNIS Editor-In-Chief, Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Robert Starke (University of Miami MILLER School of Medicine, Miami Beach, Florida, and Westchester Medical Center, Valhalla, New York) and Justin Fraser (University of Kentucky, Lexington), who recently published the paper “Transarterial and transvenous access for neurointerventional surgery: report of the SNIS Standards and Guidelines Committee” on behalf of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery.

April 03, 2020 ‘Chronic intracranial venous hypertension syndrome’: a new classification scheme for IIH
JNIS Editor-In-Chief Felipe C. Albuquerque discusses idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and a new patient classification paradigm with Kyle Fargen (Neurological Surgery, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, USA) and Michael Levitt (Neurological Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, USA). Both authors recently wrote about the intersection between IIH and venous sinus stenosis, an increasingly hot topic within the neurointerventional community. In the podcast, the participants discuss this novel classification, venous sinus stenting, and issues pertaining to this diverse patient population.

February 26, 2020 Field triage for endovascular stroke therapy
In a densely populated setting, for patients with stroke who are endovascular therapy candidates and closest to a primary stroke center from the field, triage to a slightly more distant comprehensive stroke center is associated with faster time to endovascular therapy, no delay to alteplase, and less disability at 90 days.
Felipe de Albuquerque talks to Mahesh Jayaraman and Ryan McTaggart (Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) about their paper “Field triage for endovascular stroke therapy: a population-based comparison”, which is part of the March issue of JNIS and can be read for free on the journal's website: https://jnis.bmj.com/content/12/3/233.
