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

Celebrated 20yrs at @NorthBristolNHS this month. Lovely certificate but do you think long service folk should be rewarded? And if so, how? I got an extra 20 chest X-rays to report* (*=joke)

@JNIS_BMJ @PoppeAY Doesn't look like the control population had tandem lesions...is this comparing apples and pears?

Acute stenting for tandem occlusions remains controversial. Mendes et al. present data showing that acute stenting in tandem occlusions is associated with worse outcomes than patients treated with thrombectomy alone. bit.ly/3xXGUo9 @PoppeAY #thrombectomy #CAS
