Houston Neuroendovascular Surgery Club

Quarterly Meeting Series

The Houston Neuroendovascular Surgery Club (HNESC) hosts multidisciplinary meetings provided by UTHealth Neurosciences.

The HNESC meetings gather local experts in Neuroendovascular Surgery, from various specialties including Neurosurgery, Neurology and Radiology, in an open forum for the presentation, discussion, and analysis of interesting neurovascular and interventional cases. HNESC meetings are case-driven. We expect to receive case submissions of which the most interesting will be selected for oral presentation. The case selection committee reviews the submissions in a blinded manner to ensure objectivity. Priority will be given to cases that are stimulating and educational for the participants. Each meeting will be formatted to allow sufficient time for a question and answer period in order to provide an opportunity to explore the presented subject matter thoroughly. We expect the meeting to be highly interactive and full of scientific and clinical advances presented by local thought leaders in this discipline.
