Symposium Overview
Stroke Care Does Not End With Reperfusion
This symposium reviews current guidance in the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care of patients with cerebrovascular disorders through the perspectives of neurology, neurosurgery, neuro-intervention, neurocritical care and neuroscience nursing.
The educational focus extends across acute intervention, stroke mimics, seizures, pediatric stroke, bedside monitoring, prognostication, palliative care, cardiometabolic prevention, disparities and patient/family education — reflecting the complete stroke-care pathway.
The Stroke Care Continuum
Recognize → Intervene → Monitor → Prognosticate → Prevent → Support
01
Recognize
Brain attacks, stroke mimics and changing neurologic symptoms.
02
Intervene
Evolving thrombectomy indications and acute treatment strategies.
03
Monitor
Seizures, continuous EEG and bedside stroke-care processes.
04
Prognosticate
Outcome assessment and supportive/palliative-care decisions.
05
Prevent
Metabolic risk, new therapies and stroke-prevention strategies.
06
Support
Education, family support and disparities in stroke care.
Endovascular Stroke Care
How Far Can the Thrombectomy Window Expand?
Review the evolving evidence and clinical rationale behind expanding access to endovascular treatment.
Evidence
SELECT LATE Trial
