March 19, 2019 A closer look over Brexit’s impact on research and publishing
Although the impact of Brexit on research is still unknown, BMJ’s CEO Peter Ashman is confident medical publishing “will be OK”.
In this special podcast, Publishing Director of BMJ, Allison Lang, assures the American audience of JNIS that the turmoil in the UK over leaving the European Union should have no impact on the specialty journals of the BMJ Publishing Group.

January 21, 2019 Wide-neck middle cerebral artery and basilar apex treated by endovascular techniques. The BRANCH
In the January 2019 podcast, Felipe C. Albuquerque talks to Reade De Leacy about the BRANCH (wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery and basilar apex treated by endovascular techniques)- a multicentre, retrospective study comparing core lab evaluation of angiographic outcomes with self-reported outcomes.

October 26, 2018 Neurothrombectomy in the late time window: continued benefit in trial ineligible patients
There are two editor's choice papers of the November issue of JNIS discussed in this podcast. Editor-in-Chief of JNIS, Felipe de Albuquerque, talks to Ashutosh Jadhav and Shashvat Desai, both from the Department of Neurology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pennsylvania, USA. They are co-authors of the papers:
Thrombectomy 6-24 hours after stroke in trial ineligible patients (https://jnis.bmj.com/content/10/11/1033)

July 19, 2018 Current endovascular strategies for cerebral venous thrombosis
The recommendations of the report of the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery (SNIS) Standards and Guidelines Committee for endovascular strategies for cerebral venous thrombosis are discussed in this podcast. Editor-in-Chief of JNIS, Felipe de Albuquerque, talks to Justin Fraser (Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA) on behalf of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery.

May 29, 2018 M2 occlusions patients may benefit from endovascular therapy
M2 occlusions can present with serious neurological deficits, resulting in large infarcts and significant morbidity and mortality. The paper discussed in this podcast concludes that patients with M2 occlusions and higher baseline deficits (NIHSS score ≥9) may benefit from endovascular therapy, thus potentially expanding the category of acute ischemic strokes amenable to intervention.
Listen to the conversation between the Editor-in-Chief of JNIS, Felipe de Albuquerque, and Ansaar Rai (Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, West Virginia University Hospital, USA), who is the co-author of “A population-based incidence of M2 strokes indicates potential expansion of large vessel occlusions amenable to endovascular therapy”.

March 21, 2018 Balloon guide catheter use in mechanical thrombectomy linked to clinical and angiographic outcomes
The use of balloon guide catheters (BGCs) during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke is associated with superior clinical and angiographic outcomes, concludes a systematic review and meta-analysis recently published by JNIS and discussed in this podcast.
Waleed Brinjikji (Departments of Radiology and Neurosurgery of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA) tells the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Felipe Albuquerque the details of his paper ‘Impact of balloon guide catheter on technical and clinical outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis’.

January 24, 2018 Favorable revascularization therapy in patient with ASPECTS ≤5 in anterior circulation infarct
A low baseline Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is strongly associated with low rates of favorable outcome in patients with acute stroke. The study discussed in this podcast evaluated the efficacy and safety of revascularization therapy in patient with ASPECTS ≤5 in anterior circulation infarct, concluding that revascularization therapy contributed to a favorable clinical outcome at 90 days, especially in patients younger than 70 years.
The Editor-in-Chief of JNIS Felipe Albuquerque is joined by Vincent Costalat (Department of Neuroradiology, CHRU Gui de Chauliac, Montpellier, France), who co-authored the paper: "Favorable revascularization therapy in patients with ASPECTS ≤ 5 on DWI in anterior circulation stroke".

October 20, 2017 Too good to intervene? Thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion strokes with minimal symptoms
In this podcast, the Editor-in-Chief of JNIS Felipe Albuquerque speaks to Raul Nogueira (Department of Neurology, Emory University School of Medicine/Marcus Stroke & Neuroscience Center, Atlanta, Georgia, USA).
He is the co-author of the study "Too good to intervene? Thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion strokes with minimal symptoms: an intention-to-treat analysis".

August 30, 2017 Predictors of false-positive stroke thrombectomy transfers
Diagnosing with clinical scales or imaging? The transfer decision process of patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke to receive thrombectomy is discussed in this podcast.
The Editor-in-Chief of JNIS Felipe Albuquerque speaks to Michael Chen (Department of Neurological Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, USA) about his co-authored study ‘Predictors of false-positive stroke thrombectomy transfers’, published in the September 2017’s issue of the JNIS.

June 05, 2017 Editorial: In defence of “our” stroke patients
JNIS Associate Editor Joshua Hirsch is joined by Shazam Hussain (Cerebrovascular Center, Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, USA) and David Fiorella (Department of Neurosurgery, Stony Brook University, New York, USA) to discuss the June 2017's editorial in the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery.
In this commentary, they analyse the conclusions of the study “Public Health Urgency Created by the Success of Mechanical Thrombectomy Studies in Stroke”, published by Circulation, stating that the opinions of Drs Hopkins and Holmes “lead to unwarranted conclusions that have dangerous implications for patient care”.
The authors of the JNIS editorial comment on three major points of controversy:
(1) a disregard for training, expertise, and experience in the management of a disease that may lead to death or disability when treating physicians do not have them;
(2) a misunderstanding of the fundamental underpinnings of stroke physiology and anatomy;
(3) a false association between a real problem (undeveloped systems of care) and a spurious assumption (ie, that there are not enough physicians trained to perform intracranial MT). We examine these concerns below.
The editorial “In defense of our patients” was written on behalf of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery, the Cerebrovascular Section of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology.
