Environmental sustainability in neurointerventional procedures

Operating rooms contribute between 20% to 70% of hospital waste. Neurointerventional procedures, in particular, generate a substantial amount of that waste: an average of 8 kg per case, recently aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. JNIS Editor-In-Chief, Felipe C.
