    Abstract: Women's representation in medicine has increased over time yet the proportion of women practicing neurointervention remains low. We conducted an anonymous online survey through which we could explore the gender gap in neurointervention, identify potential issues, difficulties, or obstacles women might face, and evaluate if men encounter similar issues. Methods An online questionnaire was designed in SurveyMonkey®. Invitation to participate was emailed through national and international neurointerventional societies as well as directly through private mailing lists to men and women working in neurointervention. Responses were collected from 10 May 2019 to 10 September 2019. Results There were 295 complete responses, 173 (59%) male and 122 (41%) female. Most respondents (83%) fell within age categories 35–60 years, with representation from 40 countries across five continents. In all 95% were working full time, 73% had worked as a neurointerventionalist for 〉 6 years, 77% worked in University-affiliated teaching institutions. Almost half of the respondents indicated no female neurointerventionalist worked in their center. Female respondents were younger and age-adjusted analysis was undertaken. Significantly fewer females than males were married and had children. Significantly fewer females held supervisory roles, held academic titles, and significantly less had a mentor. Females were less satisfied in their careers. More females felt they receive less recognition than colleagues of the opposite sex. Males had a greater proportion of work time dedicated to neurointervention. Similar proportions of both genders experienced bullying in work (40%–47%); however, sexual harassment was more common for females. There were no differences between genders in how they dealt with complications or their effects on mental well-being. Conclusion There are many potential reasons why women are underrepresented in neurointervention, however, the literature suggests this is not unique to our specialty. Multiple long-term strategies will be necessary to address these issues, some of which are discussed in the article.

    Abstract: Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms (WNBA) are a difficult subset of aneurysms to successfully repair endovascularly, and a number of treatment adjuncts have been designed to improve on the results of coiling, including stenting and flow diversion of the parent vessel. Surgical clipping is commonly performed for certain WNBAs, such as middle cerebral aneurysms, in some centres. Intra-saccular flow diversion (ISFD) using the Woven Endo-Bridge (WEB) or similar devices, has been developed as a new endovascular alternative to coiling for WNBAs. Meta-analyses of case series suggest satisfactory results, both in terms of safety and efficacy, but in the absence of randomized evidence, whether ISFD leads to better outcomes for patients with WNBA remains unknown. There is a need to offer ISFD within the context of a randomized care trial. Methods The proposed trial is a multicentre, randomized controlled care trial comparing ISFD and best conventional management option (surgical or endovascular), as determined by the treating physician prior to randomized allocation. At least 250 patients will be recruited in at least 10 centres over a four-year period, and followed for one year, to show that ISFD can increase the incidence of successful therapy from 75 to 90% of patients, defined as complete or near-complete occlusion of the aneurysm AND a good clinical outcome (mRS ≤ 2) at one year. The trial will be followed by an independent data safety monitoring committee to assure the safety of participants. Conclusion Introduction of intra-saccular flow diversion can be accomplished within a care trial context.
