A dawn of a new era in Stroke care
Amre Nouh
University of Connecticut, USA
O
ver the past year, landmark clinical trials have
transformed stroke care for patients with large
vessel occlusion, extending the therapeutic window
for mechanical thrombectomy for up to 24 hours from
symptom onset. Since, many patients who may have not
been eligible for treatment who have favorable clinical
and radiographic mismatch profiles with salvageable brain
tissue determined by advanced imaging are been treated
with excellent outcomes. In addition, our understanding
of the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia has been
enhanced by these findings. Clinical guidelines recommend
adoption of these best practices and the implications this
has had on stroke systems of care are many from EMS to
destination therapy. This talk will go over the advances in
diagnosis and treatment of large vessel occlusion stroke,
current experience and best practices.
