Neuroendovascular CAST Fellowship

Fellowship training structure follows the criteria set forth by the Committee on Advanced Subspecialty Training (CAST). The fellowship duration is dependent on prior training and procedural experience, with both 1- and 2-year options available. The 1-year fellowship is designed for applicants who have already completed a minimum of 200 catheter-based diagnostic and/or interventional cerebral angiographic procedures and have demonstrated competency in catheter techniques. The 2-year fellowship is intended for applicants who have not yet met this procedural requirement; the first year focuses on developing core diagnostic neuroendovascular skills, while the second year provides advanced training in therapeutic neuroendovascular interventions.

During training, the fellow will become proficient in the full spectrum of endovascular neurosurgery procedures, including endovascular aneurysm treatment (coiling, stent-assisted coiling, flow diversion, intrasaccular devices), AVM embolization, AV fistula embolization, mechanical thrombectomy, carotid angioplasty and stenting, MMA embolization, head and neck embolization and spinal embolization.
