In-hospital #stroke represents ~3% of all strokes and has a ~2-fold increased mortality rate compared to community-onset stroke. Do you already have an "IN-CODE STROKE"? Great work by @Katha_MD @AlmekhlafiMa @JHolodinsky et al. @DCNSNeuro https://t.co/H0N2dQujAd

Differences of ~1.5 mL, ~7 mL, and ~15 mL in infarct volume corresponded to a 1%, 5%, and 10% higher probability of mRS 0-1 in #stroke pts. Check out our ACT post-hoc analysis. @johanna_ospel @nishita_singh3 @draravindganesh @AlmekhlafiMa @lucianacatanese @American_Heart

๐ŸงตA more nuanced approach to reperfusion decisions in patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion requires a better understanding of tissue viability, perfusion physiology, & ischemic damage to more accurately predict beneficial, futile, or harmful reperfusion.

IVT and EVT treatment decision-making in #MeVO #Stroke patients is getting very "cerebral". Take a look at our latest review published in @StrokeAHA_ASA! @johanna_ospel @mhill68 @mayank_G0 @MPeyT1 @NguyenThanhMD @AlmekhlafiMa @bijoymenon

Reperfusion in #stroke can be beneficial, futile, or harmful. A better understanding of the pathophysiology and overall prognosis can inform our decision-making. @StrokeAHA_ASA @American_Heart @johanna_ospel https://t.co/qNkHNPRbwO

A must-read by @UPensato on the probability of excellent outcomes in relation to infarct volume. Essential insights for anyone managing acute stroke care. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Amazing #WSC2025 in BCN! My take-home msg: 1. Breakthrough stroke trials are needed 2. Lot of room to be more aggressive in BP lowering for ICH prevention 3. MMA in CSDH is effective 4. Better imaging needed to predict harmful reperfusion 5.TNK over tPA 6. BCN best city in Eur

IPMA of large core EVT trials (ATLAS) showing 60% increase odds of better outcomes. Apparently across any sub analysis (still think there is a group who experience harmful recanalization though) #WSC2025 @WorldStrokeOrg
