DOI: 10.1161/str.51.suppl_1.wp340
Abstract: Introduction: Given the time-sensitive benefits of acute stroke (AS) treatments, stroke systems of care must balance reducing door-in-door-out (DIDO) time at primary stroke centers (PSCs) with capacity limits at comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs). For example… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/str.53.suppl_1.wp163
Abstract: Introduction: Timely recanalization is strongly associated with functional independence in patients who undergo mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for a large vessel occlusion (LVO). The American Heart Association recommends Door to Recanalization/Reperfusion (DTRp) time of ≤120 minutes.… read more here.
