| TORONTO, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Specialists from around the world will gather at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery’s (SNIS) 19th Annual Meeting from July 25–29, 2022, in Toronto to discuss groundbreaking research and developments in the field of neurointerventional surgery. The 2022 conference, held during SNIS’ 30th anniversary year, will be a hybrid event with in-person and livestreamed content. Meeting session topics will include the role of artificial intelligence and robotics in neurointervention, new techniques for diagnosing, triaging and treating stroke and brain aneurysms, and the effect of COVID-19 on stroke patients. Philip Meyers, MD, FSNIS, a renowned neurointerventionalist who has helped create or characterize many of the devices currently used daily during neurointerventional surgery, will deliver the meeting’s Grant Hieshima Luminary Lecture. Dr. Meyers will reflect on the wide-ranging improvements in stroke and aneurysm treatment over the course of his career and on the life and legacy of illustrious neurointerventionalist Grant Hieshima, MD, who died in 2019. In addition, Toronto native and stroke patient Monica Missrie will talk about her path back to her career as an interpreter and conservationist in this year’s Amy Walters Lecture. “The pace of innovation in neurointerventional surgery over the past 15 years has not relented even with the pandemic-related challenges. Conferences such as the SNIS Annual Meeting allow for healthy debate, education and collaboration among members which helps to clarify so much of what has occurred in our field this past year,” said SNIS President Michael Chen, MD. “I am grateful that our talented colleagues can once again gather online or in person to teach, learn and inspire one another.” The 19th Annual Meeting will highlight promising new neurointerventional research, with press releases available on the following abstracts:
