Neurointerventional Endovascular Fellowship
The neurointerventional endovascular fellowship at Penn is an interdisciplinary fellowship including faculty from neurosurgery, neuroradiology and neurology and is SNS/CAST approved. The 2-year program offers comprehensive training in cerebrovascular disease of the brain, neck and spine using both radial and femoral access techniques. We use state of the art biplane angiography machines in 3 hospitals including 3 hybrid biplane icono Siemens OR rooms in our new hospital (the pavilion). Besides diagnostic cerebral and spinal catheter angiograms our fellows will learn techniques of balloon occlusion test, inferior petrosal sinus sampling, WADA testing and all available techniques for endovascular embolization.
We treat over 2000 endovascular procedures yearly at Penn and this represents one of the largest cerebrovascular volume in the nation, which will allow our fellows to be best prepared for their faculty position after completion of the fellowship. Working alongside Dr. Burkhardt and Dr. Pukenas, you will have the opportunity to gain more first hand experience than most fellows could ever imagine.
