My mentor & friend Pascal Jabbour MD, FAANS, FACS, FAHA has the giant shoulders upon which I and so many are lucky to stand. CV surgery demands tehnical mastery, desire to expand the surgical toolkit, humility, and joie de vivre. The legacy of Drake is alive and well in you! CNS CV Section

We have all lost a true visionary. Few can claim to have truly changed the world, and Nick Hopkins was one. But to do so with kindness, honesty, and humility is what made him truly great.

In this season's “Clippology with the Masters,” 3 former fellows to join me w/aneurysm cases from their practices. The reward w/mentoring is seeing trainees test their mettle, flourish on their own, become masters in their own right. Join us: Justin R. Mascitelli, MD, FAANS, @JanKarlBurkhardt,

The 2.5cm miniPT isn't the classic crani to approach the basilar apex. Small proximal P1 associated with a thalamoperforator wasn't worth the added morbidity of an OZ, but presented clearly and perforators easily dissected. Sometimes the stars align to make surgery simple

I enjoy training vascular neurosurgery fellows, and even more, I enjoy watching them spread their wings after graduation and soaring in their own practices. In this season of "Clippology with the Masters," I host 3 of my former fellows. Here is Episode 1 with Jan-Karl Burkhardt, MD

Can't think of a better way to honor Nick Hopkins than gathering at the meeting now bearing his name. Great friends, an open exchange of ideas, and a beautiful mountain make it the most special meeting of the year. If you pass Corbet's Cabin, pause a moment at Nick's skis

The Nick Hopkins Symposium in Jackson Hole. Adnan H. Siddiqui, MD and many others gathered to honor Dr. Nick Hopkins. His memorial skis at Corbett's Cabin served as a respectful tribute to a great man.

Lucky to have one of the greats as a mentor - check out some cases which highlight some of the lessons I learned from Michael T. Lawton, MD. When I pull out titanium instead of platinum, the rules don't change: applied anatomy, precision technique, and struggling for elusive perfection.

The perfect jump shot is built in the gym, when you're tired and no one is watching. Love to see Pitt Neurosurgery residents putting in microanastomosis reps in the lab so they're ready to shine in the OR. Special thanks to Dr. Joseph Maroon for donating the instrument sets!
