IIH Practitioner Webinar Series

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder of elevated pressure within the brain without an identifiable cause. The IIH Practitioner Series is designed for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-interventionalists, endovascular surgeons, interventionist radiologists, neuroradiologists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and ENT specialists. Patients and caregivers are always welcome to attend.

The River Stent™ and IIH

July 7, 2026

8:00 am Eastern

Join us on July 7 for our webinar featuring an expert discussion on the River Stent™ and its role in the treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH).

This live webinar brings together two leading experts in neurointervention and cerebrovascular care to discuss the evolving treatment landscape for IIH, patient selection considerations, procedural insights, and real-world experience with venous sinus stenting.

The session will be moderated by Dr. Brian Snelling and will feature Dr. Adnan Siddiqui, a renowned neurosurgeon and leader in neurovascular innovation. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on the use of the River Stent and have the opportunity to hear directly from experienced practitioners in the field.

Dr. Adnan H. Siddiqui is a University at Buffalo Distinguished Professor and Vice Chairman of Neurosurgery at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, internationally recognized for his expertise in cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery. With specialized training in interventional neuroradiology, cerebrovascular surgery, and neurocritical care, he has extensive experience treating complex neurovascular conditions, including stroke, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and venous disorders.

Dr. Siddiqui has authored more than 600 peer-reviewed publications, contributed over 50 book chapters, and delivered more than 400 presentations at leading cerebrovascular conferences worldwide. He has designed and led numerous national and international clinical trials and currently serves as principal investigator for multiple multicenter studies advancing neurovascular care and medical device innovation.

Dr. Siddiqui is Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer of the Jacobs Institute, where he works with physicians, researchers, engineers, and industry partners to accelerate the development of new technologies for vascular disease. He also directs the Canon Stroke and Vascular Research Center and the Neurosurgical Stroke Service at Buffalo’s Gates Vascular Institute, one of the busiest comprehensive stroke centers in the United States. His contributions to research, education, and innovation have earned numerous honors, including the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities and designation as a University at Buffalo Distinguished Professor.
