Stroke Thrombectomy is an advanced interventional radiology procedure used to treat ischemic strokes. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain, leading to brain tissue damage, disabilities, or even death.

During this event, we will discuss the use of artificial intelligence in diagnosing ischemic strokes, the Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score (ASPECTS), and the role of minimally invasive thrombectomy in restoring blood flow to the affected area of the brain. We will also explore the benefits of thrombectomy compared to other treatment options, such as thrombolysis.

This event is perfect for anyone interested in Neurology or Interventional Radiology and wants to learn more about the latest advancements in stroke treatment. Join us to discover the power of thrombectomy in the treatment of ischemic strokes.

We look forward to seeing you at the event!
