The management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has evolved from rigid, time-based treatment windows to individualized, tissue-based decision-making. With advances in imaging and reperfusion therapies, clinicians can now identify salvageable brain tissue and expand treatment options for eligible patients.

This focused masterclass explores modern stroke management, including CT perfusion, MRI mismatch, and ASPECTS scoring, along with evolving approaches to intravenous thrombolysis (tenecteplase vs. alteplase) and mechanical thrombectomy in extended windows of up to 24 hours.

Gain practical insights into rapid triage, blood pressure optimization, complication management, and streamlining door-to-needle and door-to-puncture workflows for timely, evidence-based stroke care.
