04/09/25 • 22 min

Topics discussed in this episode:

A pioneering journey: From falling into neurointervention by chance to becoming a key figure in India's development of the specialty.
Training the next generation: The evolution of fellowships, the importance of hands-on mentorship, and why structured, long-term training remains crucial.
Infrastructure and access: How charitable support and public-private collaboration have made advanced procedures possible in resource-limited settings.
India-specific challenges and strengths: High prevalence of venous stroke and ICAD, and the country’s growing experience in managing these complex cases.
Future vision: A call for more inclusive training, a greater role for Indian centres in global research, and optimism about minimally invasive technologies and the evolving role of neurointervention in brain modulation.
