Speaker: Dr. Nevia Caputo
Neuroradiologist,specialized in endovascular therapy
Director of Radiology
Azielda Sanitaria Locale (ASL)
Teramo, Italy

Particularly experienced in the treatment of intracranial arterovenous malformations, aneurysms and in the pre-surgical devascolarization of intracranial hypervascularized lesions, Dr. Nevia Caputo also has great experience in the field of CT and MRI. She took care of her training in these sectors attending the Lysholm Radiological Department of National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London and later attending the Lariboisière Hospital in Paris working with Professor J.J. Merland and Professor A.Casasco.
She has many years of extensive clinical experience with advanced and complex neuroendovascular procedures. The outcomes of the results she reported in many scientific papers and meetings.

Presentation title: Endovascular Therapy in neurological and neurosurgical emergencies

Dr. Nevia Caputo will show illustrative cases focusing on technical aspects of the endovascular procedures and pointing out how to manage difficulties in visualizing normal or pathological aspects.

Speaker: Prof. Adnan Siddiqui, MD, PhD

Neurosurgeon

Professor and Vice Chairman in the Department of Neurosurgery (UBNS) at the State University of New York at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences

University at Buffalo, Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Department of Neurosurgery Buffalo New York, USA

Prof. Siddiqui completed fellowship training in Interventional Neuroradiology, Cerebrovascular Surgery and Neurocritical Care and has special interest and expertise in the performance of complementary microsurgical, radiosurgical and endovascular techniques for the comprehensive management of cerebrovascular conditions. He has special interests in endovascular management of acute ischemic stroke.
Prof. Siddiqui has over 450 peer reviewed publications and has continuously served on multiple scientific and educational committees.
He leads the Canon Stroke and Vascular Research Center (CSVRC) at University at Buffalo. This multi-disciplinary center with multiple concurrent major NIH grants, houses neurosurgeons, neuroscientists, physicists and biomedical engineers working collaboratively on cutting edge research focused on neurovascular biology and pathology including stroke and aneurysms, imaging, simulation and hemodynamics. In addition, he serves as the Director of the Neurosurgical Stroke Service at the Gates Vascular Institute in Buffalo, one of the busiest Comprehensive Stroke Services in New York State and the United States.

Presentation title: Higher Definition, Easier Procedure, Better Outcomes

Prof. Siddiqui will show the performance of endovascular techniques for the comprehensive management of acute ischemic stroke. By using a bi-plane interventional X-Ray system equipped with a high definition detector for best-in-class visualization of stents and guidewires. Resulting in more safe procedures and better outcomes for the patient.
