In the field of neurointervention, the accuracy and timeliness of selecting the appropriate thrombectomy strategy is critical for patient outcomes. One key factor influencing this decision is the imaging of thrombus characteristics, which can provide valuable insights for interventionists when choosing the first-line approach.
We are reaching out to you, our colleagues in the neurointerventional community, to participate in a survey designed to explore how thrombus features impact thrombectomy strategy selection.
Why Thrombus Imaging Matters
Thrombus characteristics such as the susceptibility vessel sign, hyperdense artery sign, and thrombus length are often assessed through baseline imaging. These features can influence how interventionists approach thrombectomy, potentially altering the strategy used to remove the clot and restore blood flow. Understanding the current practices and opinions of neurointerventionists regarding these thrombus characteristics is essential for advancing our field.
This survey aims to gather insights into how these imaging features play a role in your clinical decisions. Are they routinely considered when selecting a thrombectomy strategy? Do they guide your decision-making, or are other factors prioritized?
Survey Details
We value your experience and input in shaping future practices for thrombectomy strategies. The survey is straightforward and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Additionally, all responses will be kept completely anonymous, ensuring your privacy throughout the process.
By participating, you will contribute to a growing body of research that helps guide the future of neurointervention. Your feedback will assist us in understanding how imaging can enhance clinical decision-making and improve patient care.
