“Hospitals treat efficiently once patients arrive, yet many patients lose critical hours before they reach them” Please read our editorial on ICH reversal and system of care fragmentation 🔗 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA… Thanks for the invitation @OmarAlJanabiMD @Mo_majali91

#DISTALS primary endpoint just presented at #ISC26! For #DMVO, #EVT with #Tigertriever 13 was associated with greater successful reperfusion at 24h without sICH! Long term clinical outcome are pending. @AHAScience @StrokeAHA_ASA @svinsociety @SVINJournal @SNISinfo

Quick in and out of #ISC26 — meeting and collaborating with great minds as we venture into what’s next for Neurointervention and Cerebrovascular care @StrokeAHA_ASA @SVINJournal @svinsociety @SVINRegistry @PittStroke @PittNeurology @PittNeurosurg @ChildrensPgh @UPMCPhysicianEd

Pitt stroke past, present, and future @IsaacKayyaliMD @Nirav_r_bhatt @draliafadhil @romilsingh1892 @Qudahmd @AlAlBayati1 @fahmy_doheim repping at #SVIN25

CREST 2 presentation at #SVIN25. A landmark trial that will hopefully change guidelines in the near future.

🎉 Honored & thrilled to share that our abstract has been selected for the Alexandrov Award at the American Society of Neuroimaging (ASN) 2026 Annual Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷🧠✨ Our work explores how age modifies the link between transcranial Doppler hyperemia, PI, and reperfusion outcomes after EVT — bringing bedside physiology closer to precision stroke care. ⚙️💡🩸 Congratulations and thanks to @LucasRochaMD for letting me being a part of this 🌴📊 #Neuroimaging #Stroke #EVT #TCD #ASN2026 #PrecisionMedicine @PittStroke

Presented at #SVIN25: CREST-2: In high-grade asymptomatic carotid stenosis, addition of stenting to medical therapy led to a lower risk of stroke over a 4-year period. Endarterectomy did not lead to a significant benefit. Full results: nej.md/3LK9kst Editorial: Managing Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis nej.md/482XjG1 @svinsociety
