Overview
Overview
The goal of this course is to inform healthcare professionals in acute care settings about endovascular procedures to treat acute ischemic stroke.
 
After taking this course, you should be able to:
  • Identify emergent treatment options for patients experiencing an acute ischemic stroke.
  • Define the role of endovascular treatments in acute ischemic stroke treatment.
  • Describe the essential patient management strategies after endovascular stroke treatment.
Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Ischemic stroke is a time-sensitive emergency that requires prompt, definitive treatment. The primary focus of treatment for ischemic stroke is reestablishing perfusion to the area(s) of the brain affected. This can be achieved through the use of pharmacologic or mechanical interventions/treatments. Endovascular interventions such as thrombectomy and stenting procedures are an option for some patients. These procedures are image-guided, minimally invasive, and show promise for minimizing patient disability and improving functional outcomes. The impact of these treatments on mortality has yet to be proved. Healthcare professionals in acute settings should be familiar with all treatment options, understand the need for quick interventions, and recognize how their role can improve patient outcomes.
