Microvention Funds $250,000 Educational Grant for the Advancement of Endovascular Education and Technology to the CNS Foundation

October 3, 2019, Schaumburg, Illinois – MicroVention, one of the world’s fastest growing medical device companies, has granted $250,000 to the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Foundation (CNS Foundation). This generous gift will fund educational programs dedicated toward the advancement of the field of endovascular education and technology.

“We have become extremely knowledgeable about how to treat and care for aneurysm and stroke patients. With that knowledge comes the responsibility to meet the demand which is higher than I’ve ever seen, due to the aging population,” said Elad I. Levy, MD, MBA, FACS, FAHA, Chair of the CNS Foundation. “MicroVention’s gift allows us to educate and expand the population of neurosurgeons who can skillfully serve our endovascular patients.”

“MicroVention’s gift and leadership are deeply appreciated by the CNS Foundation,” said Steven N. Kalkanis MD, 2020 CNS President. “This gift will allow the CNS Foundation to make a meaningful impact in neurosurgical education, particularly for endovascular surgeons. Our work with MicroVention is a terrific example of a philanthropic partnership that will allow the CNS Foundation meet to meet its mission to improve worldwide health.”
