Hundreds of healthcare workers vaccinated days after Delaware received first dose
Delaware Public Media online
2020-12-18
Dr. Sudhakar Satti was among those. He does surgery for stroke patients at ChristianaCare’s Wilmington Hospital. “I feel really good,” Satti said after getting vaccinated Friday. “I feel relieved, and I feel very optimistic.” Satti wasn't hesitant to be among the first in Delaware to get the vaccine...

Abstract TP149: Balloon Mounted Drug Eluting Stents For Treatment Of Intracranial Atherosclerosis In Emergent Large Vessel Ichemic Stroke
Stroke2023-02-01
Introduction: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is an important etiology of ischemic stroke, and often poses a challenge to successful endovascular reperfusion in the setting of emergent large vessel stroke (ELVS). We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of balloon-mounted drug eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of ELVS.
Target Ultra and Nano coils in the endovascular treatment of small intracranial aneurysms (ULTRA Registry)
Journal of Neurosurgery2022-06-01
Objective: The ULTRA Registry is a national multicenter prospective study designed to assess aneurysm occlusion rates and safety profiles of the Target Ultra and Nano coils in the treatment of small intracranial aneurysms (IAs).
Comparative cost analysis of liquid embolization systems for brain arteriovenous malformation using a real-world US hospital database: TRUFILL ® versus Onyx TM
Interventional Neuroradiology2022-05-01
Background Liquid embolic systems (LES) such as n-butyl cyanoacrylate-based TRUFILL ® and ethylene vinyl-alcohol copolymer-based Onyx TM are widely used for the embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). The purpose of this study was to compare hospital cost and length of stay (LOS) among unruptured bAVM patients undergoing embolization procedures with TRUFILL versus Onyx LES.
Patient Preference for Transradial Access over Transfemoral Access for Cerebrovascular Procedures
Journal of Vascular and Interventional NeurologySudhakar R. Satti, Ansar Z. Vance, Sohil N. Golwala, Tim Eden
2017-06-09
Shared decision-making, when physicians and patients collaborate and agree on health care decisions, is a key tenant of patient-centered care. Choice of access site for neurovascular procedures is rarely a shared decision point between physicians and patients. We present our initial evaluation of patient preference for radial over femoral access for cerebrovascular procedures.
Subclavian steal: Endovascular treatment of total occlusions of the subclavian artery using a retrograde transradial subintimal approach
Interventional NeuroradiologySudhakar R Satti, Sohil N Golwala, Ansar Z Vance, Sonya N Tuerff
2016-02-08
In symptomatic subclavian steal syndrome, endovascular treatment is the first line of therapy prior to extra-anatomic surgical bypass procedures. Subintimal recanalization has been well described in the literature for the coronary arteries, and more recently, in the lower extremities. By modifying this approach, we present a unique retrograde technique using a heavy tip microwire to perform controlled subintimal dissection.
Radial access for cerebrovascular procedures: Case report and technical note
Interventional NeuroradiologySudhakar R Satti, Ansar Z Vance, Thinesh Sivapatham
2015-12-11
Advantages of radial access over brachial/axillary or femoral access have been well described for several decades and include decreased cost, patient preference, and decreased major access site complications. Despite these advantages, radial access is rarely employed or even considered for neurointerventional procedures. This attitude should be reconsidered given several recent large, randomized, controlled trials from the cardiovascular literature proving that radial access is associated with statistically lower costs, decreased incidence of myocardial infarctions, strokes, and even decreased mortality.
Vessel perforation during withdrawal of Trevo ProVue stent retriever during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke
Journal of NeurosurgeryLakshmi Leishangthem M.B.B.S. and Sudhakar R. Satti M.D.
2014-10-01
The authors report a case of an intracranial extravasation during the withdrawal of a Trevo ProVue stent retriever device in a patient being treated for acute ischemic stroke. An 82-year-old woman developed sudden left hemiparesis and aphasia during an urgent cardiac catheterization procedure for a non–ST elevation myocardial infarction. She had a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of at least 10 and no improvement with intravenous administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA).

Giant and complex aneurysms are increasingly treated with the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED). However, clinical experience with the device remains preliminary.
