On this inaugural joint CSC (Canadian Stroke Consortium) Stroke FM episode, two colleagues from Calgary's Stroke program Bijoy Menon @bijoymenon and Andrew Demchuk discuss nuances of the soon-to-be-published MR CLEAN-NO IV trial (direct to EVT vs. bridging therapy) after the trial's results were showcased at ISC 2021. We look forward to future episodes as the joint CSC-Stroke FM collaboration unfolds on this podcast. We aim to highligh new and exciting scientific breakthroughs, educational topics, and all things part of the chain of survival for stroke care.
