Description

Conclusion

• Telemedicine is allowing for more patients suffering from AIS to receive care by dedicated stroke physicians including neurovascular surgeons.
• Our study does not find any difference in outcome between neurologists, who have traditionally managed stroke care, and neurosurgeons.
• Although ischemic stroke is a matter of multidisciplinary management, these surgeons are appropriately knowledgeable to prescribing IVrt-PA and concurrently performing MT in a highly-specialized stroke unit.
