🚨 The results of CLOSURE-AF are in, providing a sobering look at Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC).
This was the first trial to test the device against modern DOAC therapy in the high-risk patients seen in daily practice.
The verdict: LAAC failed to meet non-inferiority

#ISC2026
🌎ISC delivered fewer “home runs” and more hard truths: what works, what doesn’t, and where selection matters most in stroke care
From extended-window thrombolysis to FXIa inhibition, #ISC26 highlights where stroke care is truly moving — and where it isn’t.

ORIENTAL MEVO trial shows a benefit of EVT but the devil is in the details. The benefit was seen those with NIHSS 8 or more. Note that M3 occlusions did not benefit from EVT. #ISC26

New AHA acute stroke guidelines are out!
Every year in the United States, >600000 individuals have a first ischemic stroke and approximately 200000 more have a recurrent stroke.
This guideline aims to incorporate this updated evidence in order to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive set of recommendations for the acute evaluation and management of patients with AIS.

Wow. A totally unexpected result. Likely the end of CEA for ACAS.
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

🚨 Sudden bilateral hearing loss could be a critical warning sign of basilar artery occlusion (BAO)! How does that happen 🤷. Don’t overlook this potential life-threatening condition. 🌟🧠 #StrokeAwareness @JNIS_BMJ bit.ly/3FrrBb8

🌟ICYMI: Check out April #Stroke #EditorPick: In tandem occlusion patients secondary to cervical carotid artery dissection, emergent stenting was associated with a higher likelihood of successful recanalization but not improved functional outcomes or increased sICH.
