The Weill Cornell Medicine Interventional Neuroradiology (INR) Service offers a two-year clinical fellowship for neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and vascular neurologists.
We take pride in educating our fellows with a hands-on approach so that they become independent by the end of their fellowship. Our division collaborates closely with the departments of Neurology, Neurological Surgery, Radiology, Ophthalmology, and Otolaryngology (ENT), exposing our fellows to more than 1,200 cases per year. Fellows also participate in novel clinical trials and are provided with ample opportunities for clinical research and publication.
We expose our fellows to all aspects of endovascular and percutaneous procedures involving the brain, spine, head and neck, including;
- Diagnostic cerebral and spinal angiography
- Aneurysm coil embolization
- Aneurysm flow diverter embolization
- AVM and AVF embolization (brain, spine, face, neck)
- Acute stroke interventions
- Carotid angioplasty and stenting
- Intracranial angioplasty and stenting
- Venous sinus stenting
- Petrosal sinus sampling
- Epistaxis treatment
- Percutaneous sclerotherapy
- Balloon test occlusion
- Wada testing
- Intra-arterial chemotherapy for tumors of the eye, brain and spine
- Embolization of brain, spine, head and neck tumors
- Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty
