Using balloon guide catheters (BGC) with mechanical thrombectomy reduces long-term stroke care costs across the US, Canada & Europe. Savings up to $6,297 (US) & €3,344 (NL) per patient! #StrokeCare #NeuroIntervention

Does the duration of mechanical thrombectomy procedures predict outcomes? The latest JNIS podcast highlights observations from a multicenter study giving insight into choices of catheter types, and strategic decisions for prolonged procedures. bit.ly/3CQRhNb

Great to have our very own @hldmak present the health economic benefits that the second generation #BGC provide to healthcare systems in treating #stroke patients during #MT.
Great collaboration with @JNJMedTechUKIr @AM_Mortimer

Following the path of MAGIC-MT & EMBOLISE, STEM Trial (Squid Trial for the Embolization of the MMA for the treatment of CSDH) in favor of MMAE as presented by @adamarthurmd at #ISC24. Data review ongoing & additional endpoints will be very interesting.

Latest in #cSDH- bit.ly/3R7pj0H - Housely SB et al. show that standalone MMA #embolization had similar volumetric resolution (>12w) and lower recurrence than #surgery alone in matched cSDH patients. @SBHousleyMD

David Fiorella discusses rapid progress in MMA embolisation for cSDH treatment at #SNIS2022. Gives insights on the wealth of ongoing trials in this space (STEM, EMBOLISE, MEMBRANE), adding: "We should have level one evidence here in the next 18 months - maybe at @SNISinfo 2024"

Anyone in the UK routinely undertaking MMA embolisation for cSDH ? Please DM @UKNGNeuro or @HannahStockley8

Thanks #neurotwitter for your response. Through the utilization of brain models, our lab has been pushing the frontiers to understand the failure mechanisms for #thrombectomy in LVO #stroke. Have a look at our findings on this subject (thread): doi.org/10.3171/2020.11.JNS2…
