Dr. Satti has been instrumental in expanding the Department of NIS and helping CCHS become a JACHO accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center.
Dr. Satti is compassionate physician focusing on patient care and experience. He is a pioneer and national leader in radial access for neuroendovascular procedures, which allows for a less pain, lower complications, and shorter recovery times than traditional femoral access.
Dr. Satti’s clinical expertise include minimally invasive procedures/surgery of the head, neck and spine.
Specific procedures:
- Acute Stroke Surgery (Mechanical Thrombectomy and Carotid/Vertebral Artery Stenting)
- Pediatric Neuroendovascular Procedures (Brain aneurysms, AVM brain/spine)
- Endovascular Surgery of Brain Aneurysms (Coiling, Flow Diversion, Stenting)
- Embolization of Brain, Facial and Spine Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) and Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas and Steriotactic Radiosurgery of AVMs
- Dural Sinus Stenting (pseudotumor cerebri/IIH)
- Pain Management: Interventional pain/spine Injections, Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty, Radiofrequency Ablation procedures
- Management of Traumatic Injuries Head/Neck (Dissections/Pseudoaneurysms/Bleeding)
- Inferior Petrosal Venous Sinus Sampling
- Epistaxis (nose bleeding) embolization
*Radial access offered for all neurointerventional procedures
Dr. Satti is very active in the improving and expanding the field of Neurointerventional Radiology/Endovascular Neurosurgery through research and continuing education. He has served as a Primary Investigator on more than 10 clinical trials, authored over 20 peer reviewed articles, and is an active journal reviewer (J. Neurointerventional Surgery, Am. J. Neuroradiology, Interventional Neuroradiology).
