Neuroendovascular Surgery Fellowship Program
The Neuroendovascular Surgery group at Ochsner serves a large patient population encompassing the Gulf South region. Our Comprehensive Stroke Center located at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana is the heart of a 52-site hub-and-spoke stroke network that serves Louisiana and portions of both Mississippi and Alabama. Each year, our team performs over 170 mechanical thrombectomies, 80 aneurysm treatments, and 100 MMA embolizations for subdural hematomas for patients across the system. We perform a full range of neurovascular procedures which also includes diagnostic angiography, carotid and intracranial PTA/stenting, AVM/AFV treatments, head/neck embolizations, spinal angiography/intervention, dural sinus stenting, and IPS sampling. There is also a busy percutaneous spine interventional program including vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, basivertebral nerve ablation, spinal injections, spinal biopsy, DSA/CT myelography, and percutaneous/transvenous CSF leak management.
The Neuroendovascular Surgery Fellowship Program at the Ochsner Clinic is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Subspecialty Training. The Ochsner neuroendovascular fellowship is listed as Tulane/Ochsner in the approved programs. Our physician faculty core specialties backgrounds include neuroradiology, interventional radiology, neurology, and neurosurgery, and we welcome fellow applicants from all 4 of these residency training pathways.
We offer fellowships that are one- or two-years in length based on the prerequisite experience of individual applicants, following the guidelines outlined by CAST requirements (Neuroendovascular-11.01.24.pdf). The fellowship will participate in the upcoming Neurointerventional Surgery Match (Neurointerventional Surgery Match | NRMP). Please contact us if there are questions about individual eligibility.
