Moyamoya.com family,

With special thanks to Dr. Scott and Mr. David Steger from Children's Hospital Boston, we have been invited to a ground breaking opportunity to watch a pial synangiosis surgery on a Moyamoya patient LIVE on the internet!

PLEASE show your support and visit the web address listed below and add your reminder to watch this incredible event.


Quote:

On Tuesday, June 8 at 10 a.m. EDT Children's Hospital Boston will broadcast a live Webcast of a pial synangiosis on a patient with Moyamoya disease. The procedure, pioneered by Children's Hospital Boston's Neurosurgeon-in-Chief Dr. Michael Scott, involves relocating a healthy blood vessel, the superficial temporal artery, from the scalp to the surface of the brain. This one-hour Webcast is part of Children's ongoing effort to bring knowledge of advanced care and technology to specialists and referring physicians around the world, and to educate patients and families about the latest and most innovative medical treatments available.

I am very interested in seeing it, but I work at that time. Do you think they will record it so others can see it later?

Becky, yes, I've spoken to Boston Children's and the surgery video will be archived.  They will provide me with the link the following day and I will post it here for all of those who didn't have the chance to watch it live.

So exciting!  I'm signed up!

I shared the link on my Facebook page.  I don't know if I'm going to watch or not - my daughter may need to have the procedure a 3rd time at some point in the future, so I'm just not sure that watching it is the best choice for me at this time.  I do however think this is an amazing opportunity, and am glad to learn that the video will be archived for delayed viewing, should I choose to forego viewing on 6/8.  Thank you, DJ!
