"These new guidelines represent a major step forward in the field of neurointerventional surgery," said Dr. Donald Frei, a neurointerventional surgeon at Radiology Imaging Associates in Denver and president of SNIS. "While SNIS has long been championing the important role of the neurointerventionalist in ensuring positive outcomes for stroke patients, this consensus among a distinguished group of organizations elevates the importance of appropriate education, training and quality assurance processes to effectively treat a very time-sensitive, life-threatening condition."
In addition to the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, the guidelines will also be published in Interventional Neuroradiology, American Journal of Neuroradiology, Journal of Interventional Neurology, the eJournal of the European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (EJMINT), Journal of Neuroendovascular Therapy, Neuroradiology and Neurosurgery.
