You’ll go deep into the brain and beyond, exploring the neurological processes and structures that control our health, hormones, behaviors, movements, moods, and emotions. You’ll learn about new therapies that are giving hope for sufferers of the most challenging diseases, and you’ll hear about some habits you can develop to keep your brain in good working order for years to come. We’ll show you why patients from around the world are coming to Pacific Neuroscience Institute for novel treatments that are in many instances, available at few other institutions. pacificneuro.org | (310) 582-7640 Think Neuro’s has two co-hosts, Anthony Effinger and Dan Fost. Anthony Effinger is an award-winning journalist who is fascinated with neuroscience and the workings of the brain. Anthony spent 24 years at Bloomberg News, where he covered money and finance, with deep forays into science and health. In 2006, the Association of Health Care Journalists awarded him first prize for Playing the…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T08:20:57.446589+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/think-neuro-580182"},"episode":{"title":"Treatment & Management of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas (DAVFs) with Adi Iyer, MD, MS | A PNI Minute","slug":"treatment-management-of-dural-arteriovenous-fistulas-davfs-with-adi-iyer-md-ms-a-pni-minute","published_at":"2026-02-11T16:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/think-neuro-580182/treatment-management-of-dural-arteriovenous-fistulas-davfs-with-adi-iyer-md-ms-a-pni-minute","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/think-neuro-580182","url":"https://think-neuro.simplecast.com/episodes/treatment-management-of-dural-arteriovenous-fistulas-davfs-with-adi-iyer-md-ms-a-pni-minute-w5n6b0zn","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/72cbe8bb-0e0e-4d60-859b-58af149d2035/episodes/5ed1b0f7-3d63-4b5e-8b71-d1812e060942/audio/f1be427c-d922-42cc-9bab-992a101e225c/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=9_mrbLRD","summary":"Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare vascular condition where abnormal connections (fistulas) form between branches of arteries and veins in the dura mater, the brain's covering. The dural arteries deliver high-pressure, oxygen-rich blood to the brain, while the dural veins return deoxygenated, low-pressure blood to the heart. DAVF causes high-pressure arterial blood to flow into veins or sinuses meant for low-pressure blood, which can lead to ruptures, brain hemorrhages, and other neurological issues. Meet Dr. Aditya (Adi) Iyer, a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in vascular diseases of the brain and spine at Pacific Neuroscience Institute®. As one of California’s few dual-trained neurosurgeons, Dr. Iyer offers both minimally invasive open surgical techniques and incisionless catheter-based procedures to treat strokes, aneurysms, AVMs, tumors, and pain.","meta_description":"Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare vascular condition where abnormal connections (fistulas) form between branches of arteries and veins in the d…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":119,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/think-neuro-580182/episodes/treatment-management-of-dural-arteriovenous-fistulas-davfs-with-adi-iyer-md-ms-a-pni-minute/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/think-neuro-580182/treatment-management-of-dural-arteriovenous-fistulas-davfs-with-adi-iyer-md-ms-a-pni-minute.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
