Carotid Webs: Armed and Dangerous with Dr. Diogo Hassen

Stroke Busters

We have an amazing Grand Rounds follow up interview for you today! Dr. Diogo Haussen, Director of Neuroendovascular Service at the Marcus Stroke & Neuroscience Center at Grady Memorial Hospital joined us for a Grand Rounds presentation with medical students and faculty at McGovern Medical School. His presentation was titled, Carotid Webs: Armed and Dangerous.

Our Senior Neurology Resident, and future UT Stroke Fellow, Mohammad Ahmad, interviewed Dr. Haussen following his presentation to ask some more in depth questions.

As with our previous Grand Rounds episode, we added the Q&A from the live Grand Rounds because it added so much value to this episode.
