Excited to be joining Curvia to help students develop the skills they need to become experienced researchers. Looking forward to working with the team, and especially Amin Nassar, MD for such a great initiative!

Every 10 mg/dL ⬇️ in LDL for patients with ICAD stroke has 9% ⬇️ rates of recurrent stroke or MI. this theoretical framework suggests that PCSK9i can help achieve this. We need PCSK-9i trials in ICAD Jim Siegler (@jimsieglermd.bsky.social now) Tareq Kass-Hout Malik Ghannam Seemant Chaturvedi neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

Just out: Our SR (44 studies, ~10K IMEs) shows low CoE that higher rates of symptom exaggeration in studies with ≥40% women (47%) vs <40% (31%). A multimodal approach including validated tests of performance measures is needed for IME evals. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Missed being at SNIS Info this year, but still got hands-on with the Johnson & Johnson Neurovascular flow model, right here in one of the angio suites. Bringing a piece of SNIS to me! #SNIS2025

🌍 SEAL IT IDE Trial update 🌍 Ruptured case successfully treated by Dr. Kass-Hout @ University of Chicago ➡️ 238 patients enrolled! Thank you to Dr. Kass-Hout & team for their outstanding work! #SEALIT #BrainAneurysm #Neurointervention

Would you treat a low-grade AVM (~10.6×7.8mm) without high-risk features in an octogenarian? If yes, how (embolization, radiosurgery, observation, surgery)? When would you intervene? Curious to hear your approaches and rationale!

This was a phenomenal course for fellows. I genuinely learned a lot, a very unique experience. Highly recommend for next year! Lucky to train with you, Tareq Kass-Hout, and thanks to Sonam Thind for organizing this extraordinary meeting.
