Cerebrovascular Symposium 2022: Innovations in the Management of Complex Cerebrovascular Disease - August 25, 2022

According to the CDC, cerebrovascular disease is the most common life-threatening neurological event in the United States with stroke being one of the leading causes of serious long-term disability. An estimated 30,000 people experience a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMS) present in about 1 percent of the general population. Risk of complications from unique cerebrovascular diseases, like arteriovenous fistula (DACF) and mycotic aneurysms, can be decreased by transdisciplinary training to recognize emergent cases, identifying possible interventions, and refer care.
