Alfredo Casasco, co-director of the Endovascular and Percutaneous Therapy Service, Hospital Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Madrid, Spain, and president of the third ESMINT congress in Nice, France, tells Neuro News about his sense of wonder at first microcatheter could navigate at the intracerebral level and how this opened up a world of therapeutic possibilities.

 

How did you come to choose medicine, and then interventional neuroradiology as a career?

Ever since I was a child, I have been attracted to medicine; first with the innocence of someone who sees a physician like an almost unattainable figure and someone to imitate, then thanks to my affinity with the biological sciences, and later due to my awareness that medicine was a weapon against disease and suffering.

In my opinion, there is nothing more comforting than seeing how a doctor can act to resolve a long period of suffering, and thus change the future of a person and/or a family.

My choice to go into interventional neuroradiology followed a natural evolution from neurosurgery which was my first specialty to a less invasive technique.

There was also the stimulus to face a new specialty in ful1 development, which represented a major challenge.
