Replying to @MassGeneralC @S_Pesch
One needs those trained in "both techniques" in formal radiology and stroke neurology too; we hope your department has them. Does it matter that radiologist Söderman pioneered radiosurgery for AVMs or Moniz performed cerebral angiography? This @ThiemeIntl preface says it well.

Using an institutional registry, the investigators derived the MAD-MT score — a pragmatic tool that identifies DMVO patients most likely to benefit from EVT while minimizing risk, supporting future trial design. #stroke ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.…

🚀 Something very exciting is on the horizon We are incredibly proud to announce the launch of the upcoming IUA Trial. This is an exciting international clinical trial that aims to advance the evidence base in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Clinical research is at the heart of improving patient care, and we’re delighted to be leading this important initiative. We’re incredibly proud to be contributing to international research that has the potential to improve outcomes for patients around the world 🧠 Stay tuned as more details emerge, and if you’re interested in learning more about the trial, visit: iuatrial.com #ClinicalTrials #Neurointervention #IntracranialAneurysm #StrokeCare #MedicalResearch #EvidenceBasedMedicine #Innovation #InterventionalRadiology #Neuroradiology #GlobalCollaboration

IUAT | International Unruptured Aneurysm Trial

A planned multicentre randomised PROBE trial comparing clipping with contemporary EVT for unruptured anterior circulation aneurysms.

"Compared with conventional guide catheters, the use of balloon guide catheters led to worse functional recovery in patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy for intracranial large vessel occlusion." Has been a long time coming; there was a lot of unfounded dogma to surmount.
