Key Considerations in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Distal Vessel Occlusion

AHAHeader-1

In this webinar we will discuss the role of various imaging modalities including CTA, CT perfusion and MRI for the diagnosis of distal intracranial vessel occlusions (DVO). We will also review the evidence supporting the role of intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy for treatment of distal occlusions.  Several case studies will be presented, and diagnostic and therapeutic options discussed by the panel.

Our panel of stroke experts from across the globe will share their experience and learnings in DVO diagnosis and treatment to improve patient outcomes.

THIS SESSION WILL COVER

  • Practical implementation of advanced imaging in acute ischemic stroke 
  • Distal image pattern recognition and selection
  • Distal MT criteria and how pattern selection impacts outcomes 
  • Understand the EXTEND clinical trial design and results
  • Review recent data showing CTP improves diagnostic accuracy and confidence
  • Understand the goals of ongoing studies of DVO
