This is the latest in stroke @StrokeAHA_ASA #stayalertwithstrokealert #podcast #stroke #ISC22

An honor to host @amrsarrajMD on the podcast to answer many important questions on EVT for large core. Does age, hypodensity index, NIHSS and core size modify outcomes? What about thrombolysis if eligible @NKrementzMD @CT_LP_MRI @StrokeMiami
The July episode of the #StrokeAlert Podcast is now available. Host @NAsdaghi highlights articles in the July issue of #Stroke and interviews @amrsarrajMD on “Mechanical Thrombectomy for Large Ischemic Stroke.” #AHAJournals #StayAlertWithStrokeAlert ahajournals.org/do/10.1161/pod…

#MondayTip 📊Pooled INTERACT data ✅Intensive BP lowering improves recovery in ICH ⏱️When started <3h (cutoff: 2.6h)➡️reduces haematoma growth ☝️Greatest benefit in mild–moderate ICH (ICH score) 🚨Early treatment improves outcomes👉supports CODE-ICH systems & future trial design

What is the difference bw futile recanalization and the no reflow phenomenon? Learn this and a lot more with the June issue of #strokealert podcast.
The June episode of the #StrokeAlert Podcast is now available. @NAsdaghi highlights articles in the June issue of #Stroke & interviews Drs. Samantha Rivet & Felix Ng about "Persistent Tissue-Level Hypoperfusion (No-Reflow) Negates the Clinical Benefit of Successful Thrombectomy."
Intensive BP reduction x24hr post EVT didn’t improve outcomes. Didn’t reduce sICH. mRS 3-6 occurred in 71.0% (130/183) of the intensive-management group and 67.5% (135/200) of the standard-management group. @TheLancet

One third of endovascularly treated patients in routine care are older than 80. EVT is safe in the elderly, but advanced age is a powerful predictor of poor outcomes. @FLStrokeReg @UMiamiNeuro @StrokeMiami @SharashidzeVera
In 20,000+ cases, 1 in 3 EVT patients are over 80. While EVT is safe, advanced age predicts worse outcomes. #AHAJournals @SharashidzeVera @NAsdaghi @UMiamiNeuro @NYUneurologyres @nyugrossman ahajrnls.org/3Yvqr4H
Stroke neurologist reading a CXR. Good News there is a loop recorder ( albeit low lying position). Bad News, can’t get an MRI due to bullet fragments. @StrokeMiami

Last date for ISC session submissions is tomorrow!!! This is your chance to shape ISC2026! @StrokeAHA_ASA @LaurenHSansing @NguyenThanhMD @ChaturvediNeuro @AHAScience
ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA… One in 3 patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy in clinical practice are over the age of 80 years. Our findings emphasize that EVT maintains its safety across the spectrum of age in routine clinical practice. @NAsdaghi @FLStrokeReg @JAHA_AHA

Thanks again to all for a wonderful visit! @NAsdaghi @DrJRomanoNeuro @vdelbrutto @dyavagal @NicoleBSur @StrokeMiami
Honored to have presented the preliminary data on #TRIMIS at the #ISC2025. Most patients with mild stroke and target occlusion don’t conform to incl/excl criteria of ongoing RCT. Stay tuned 4more @NguyenThanhMD @ShadiYaghi2 @UMiamiNeuro @StrokeMiami @StrokeAHA_ASA
We recently spoke w/ the lovely @NAsdaghi (@umiamimedicine) to hear preliminary findings from the TRIMIS study investigating the clinical & radiographic characteristics of mild strokes that present w/ a target occlusion. Watch here: 👉 ow.ly/NQsh50VbFch #ISC2025 #stroke
Absolutely honoured to be delivering the inaugural Ralph Sacco Distinguished Lecture at the @UMiamiNeuro 58th Neurology Update & Stroke Intensive Review. Huge thanks to @NAsdaghi & @DrJRomanoNeuro for the generous invitation and gracious hospitality! @machealthsci @PHRIresearch
