Broad-based group of physicians calls for improvement in stroke treatment
Date:8/20/2007

perience in catheter-based techniques to the treatment of stroke, but also a history of rapid triage and treatment of patients with a life-threatening illness. Cardiologists, for example, currently set a target of 90 minutes for treatment of a blocked artery causing a heart attack. That same model could be applied to stroke therapy.

It just makes sense, Dr. Hopkins said. Cardiologists have advanced catheter skills, they are accustomed to dealing with blocked arteries on an emergency basis, and they could form multidisciplinary stroke teams that could be activated very quickly when a patient came to the emergency room with a stroke.

The authors of the new document see it as a call to action, and hope it will spark a broad-based movement to form stroke teams capable of providing interventional treatment of stroke 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in communities throughout the nation. According to Dr. White, the ultimate goal is to have a stroke treatment center in every community capable of catheter-based stroke interventionessentially, to offer the same level of care for a brain attack as for a heart attack.

By tapping into the physicians currently performing carotid stenting, we could more than double the number of people capable of performing catheter-based interventional treatment of stroke, Dr. White said. Once youve seen the need, its impossible to step back.
