Abstract:

This article is based on a symposium that took place during the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) 2021 and was sponsored by Medtronic. Four experts presented innovative technologies and concepts that could transform stroke care and improve patient outcomes. The technologies include an intelligent care coordination system, the artificial intelligence Software called Viz.ai, and a catheter tip distensibility concept based on effective inner diameter that could positively impact direct aspiration first pass thrombectomy results. The clinical section includes updates on the latest studies and guideline recommendations for risk stratification of patients, atrial fibrillation monitoring, stroke prevention and symptom control.
