A brain-sparing endovascular technique for aqueductal stenosis

Can aqueductal stenosis be treated through a minimally invasive endovascular approach without transgressing brain parenchyma?

In this episode, JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Michael Chen, speaks with neuro-interventional radiologist Dr. Michal Obrzut¹ about a neurointerventional approach to the management of obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to aqueductal stenosis.

The author describes the underlying concept, technical feasibility in cadaveric models, and potential implications for minimally invasive neurosurgical practice.
