Overview

There is currently significant deficiency of preventive and interventional stroke therapies in Europe with substantial geographical variations (for example in mechanical thrombectomy), despite strength of evidence showing the need for these therapies. Comprehensive highlights from the conference should help to stimulate further improvement in this area.

• Learn the principles of the stroke multidisciplinary team in order to organise a stroke network.
• Receive up-to-date evidence from stroke trials (MT).
