Video Summary
In this video, Lucas, a neurologist, gives a talk on brain immunization and planning for the procedure and techniques involved. He thanks Adam and Errol for having him and the audience for attending. He mentions that he will not be discussing certain topics like Aruba and natural history. He discusses the basic reasons patients have brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and emphasizes the importance of understanding each element of an AVM to determine the appropriate treatment and technique. He illustrates his points with case examples, including one of a ruptured AVM in a 14-year-old where he performed pre-surgical embolization to aid in surgical resection. He also discusses the use of detachable microcatheters like the Apollo and Scepter and their potential benefits and drawbacks. He talks about techniques for embolizing AVMs and high-flow fistulas, emphasizing the importance of good microangiography, proper catheterization, and understanding the anatomy. He concludes with the advice to start small, work with experienced partners, and continue learning and growing in the field. No credits were given.
