We are excited to share that our manuscript has been published in the Journal of Neurosurgery! Our study focused on real-time MRI-guided focused laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), a minimally invasive surgical treatment for challenging brain lesions. We aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of our experiences with LITT in surgical neuro-oncology to better understand its safety and efficacy. Key findings: We analyzed data from 313 patients who underwent LITT for brain tumors between 2013 and 2023. During a mean follow-up of 10.4 months, 66.8% of patients remained alive, and 26.2% of the ablated lesions recurred. Factors like age, lesion grade, preoperative volume, and readmission within 30 days were significantly associated with overall survival. LITT showed promising results, particularly for metastases and glioblastoma. These findings highlight LITT as a safe and effective treatment option for intracranial lesions, offering hope for patients with challenging brain tumors. #Neurosurgery #BrainTumor #MedicalResearch #LITT #MRI #JournalOfNeurosurgery #neurosurgery #neuroanatomy #microsurgery #medicaltraining #university #medical #medicine #brain

Patient in his 40s with history of severe dizziness, who was admitted for further work up and found to have complete occlusion of the left vertebral artery on brain MRA and severe focal stenosis of the right vertebral artery within the V4 segment. Taken for cerebral angiogram, which confirmed the focal critical hemodynamically significant stenosis of the right vertebral artery. Complete revascularization achieved with the Medtronic Onyx Frontier stent. Resolution of the dizziness, post procedure, without any neurological deficits. Discharged on dual antiplatelet therapy and high dose statin. #stroke #endovascular #neurosurgery #neurology #miami #palmbeach #ftlauderdale Memorial Healthcare System Medtronic Neurovascular SVIN - Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery

The collaboration between Brianne Victor and I allows us to share exciting news and research about #braintumors and #glioblastoma from the Malnati Brain Tumor Institute at Northwestern and Northwestern Department of Neurological Surgery teams at Northwestern University - The Feinberg School of Medicine with a much larger audience. This recent research is thoughtfully explained by Jason Miska for a layman audience. Connecting patients to research is important to help a patient navigating their care.
