Medium Vessel Occlusion, Featuring Jeffrey Wagner (Hosted by Anthony Harrington)

The International Stroke Conference presented by AHA/ASA is the premier conference to learn the latest and greatest on all things stroke. Join Drs. Adam Blanchette, Cynthia Dickerson, Matthew Grantz, and Jeffrey Wagner as they share their takeaways from the 2026 installation of the conference.

Historically there has been a lack of literature and general awareness of primary stroke events leading to trauma, and a resulting missed opportunity to offer hyperacute stroke treatments to these patients. STRAUMA protocols are seeking to change that. Join Dr. Matt Grantz for a deeper look at STRAUMA and why it's becoming a growing area of interest in the fields of vascular neurology, trauma, and emergency medicine.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a significant health concern, with an estimated 350,000–356,000 cases in the U.S. in 2020. Only 24% of patients survive to hospital admission, and fewer than 10% are discharged with good neurological outcomes. Withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) is the most common cause of in-hospital death after OHCA, underscoring the need for accurate, multimodal prognostic assessments.
