On Monday, 18 November 2024 from 5 PM – 6 PM CET, we will have a joint ESMINT-ESO Webinar on: ESO-ESMINT Guidelines on Acute Management of Basilar Artery Occlusion.
The webinar will be moderated by Jan-Hendrik Buhk (Hamburg, Germany). Speakers of the webinar are Daniel Strbian (Helsinki, Finland) and Wim van Zwam (Maastricht, the Netherlands).
What is the webinar about?
This webinar will focus on presenting the recently published ESO-ESMINT guidelines on the Acute Management of Basilar Artery Occlusion. Key questions (PICO) identified by the guidelines working group will structure the session. Both randomized and non-randomized data will be covered, with levels of evidence clearly reported. When evidence-based recommendations cannot be provided, expert consensus will be shared.

What to expect?
Basilar artery occlusion is a rare but devastating type of stroke. Only a handful of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exist, most of which originate from China and involve patients with very high NIHSS scores, comparing endovascular treatment with secondary prevention alone. The guidelines working group has taken a rigorous approach to provide guidance for typical clinical scenarios.
