What is the current role of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) in chronic subdural hematoma management?
📖 These updated recommendations review the evidence supporting MMAE as an adjunct to surgical drainage, considerations for standalone treatment in select populations, and key technical and safety principles for contemporary practice.

💊🧠 Can prasugrel-based single antiplatelet therapy offer a simpler option for distal aneurysm flow diversion?
In this multicenter real-world study, SAPT showed comparable angiographic occlusion to DAPT after treatment with the p48 MW HPC flow diverter, without a significant increase in thromboembolic or ischemic events. Hemorrhagic complications were seen only in the DAPT group, supporting continued interest in tailored antiplatelet strategies for selected patients. @AlexanderSirak1 @SirakovStanimir @AbdallahAb48757

🎧 New JNIS Podcast Episode
Does achieving near-complete reperfusion in medium vessel occlusions translate to better clinical outcomes?
In this episode, JNIS Editor-in-Chief Dr. Michael Chen speaks with Prof. Johanna Ospel about a post-hoc analysis of the ESCAPE-MeVO trial, exploring the relationship between reperfusion grade, infarct volume, and 90-day functional outcomes (bit.ly/42MPu4Q).

🧠💉 In TNK-treated LVO stroke patients eligible for EVT, thrombus migration occurred in 36% and made EVT impossible in 26% vs 4% without migration. Thrombus migration significantly reduced rates of complete reperfusion but did not affect functional outcomes. Read more here: bit.ly/4lpk658

🚨 A response to Dr. Heck's recent commentary on the routine care of CSDH. @ducruetaf emphasizes that the NNT of 14 is clinically respectable in the neurointerventional landscape. ISAT for aneurysms has an NNT of 13.5 and ACST for carotids has an NNT of 20. What do YOU think about MMAe for CSDH? Read more here: bit.ly/45uOiFa
