Ischemic stroke therapy has undergone a paradigm shift in the last decade with a flurry of groundbreaking randomized clinical trials expanding eligibility criteria. Developments in neuroimaging acquisition, processing, and interpretation have been critical in the design and implications of the latest clinical trials. Learn from neuroradiology and neurointerventional experts working at the frontier as we discuss the latest and ongoing ischemic stroke clinical trials focusing on large core infarctions and distal vessel occlusions and their implications for neuroimaging expectations. The standard-of-care in ischemic stroke is changing – catch up with the latest in 2024. The educational formal will be lectures.
