Management of the Stroke Patient After Neurointervention

Acute ischemic stroke continues to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent advances in patient selection have revolutionized stroke care. This lecture is designed to help physicians implement evidence-based strategies for patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing emergent endovascular reperfusion and early integration of rehabilitation into the intensive care unit setting. This course may be of special interest to physicians in the fields of neurology, neurocritical care, emergency medicine and family medicine, along with other physicians interested in stroke management after neurointervention.
