Investigating Urgent Stenting in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
🚀 First patients successfully randomized in London, Southamptom, Stuttgart and Heidelberg! In the past few days, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London 🇬🇧 , University Hospital Southampton NHS FT 🇬🇧 , Klinikum Stuttgart 🇩🇪 , and University Hospital Heidelberg (UKHD) 🇩🇪 successfully randomized their first patient! Congratulations to Thomas Booth, Ana Paula Narata, Ali Khanafer, Markus Möhlenbruch, and the local study teams—it is great to see a growing number of sites contributing! 📈 We are currently progressing with 31 initiated sites in Europe; of those, 23 have been activated, and nine are recruiting patients—with a total of 16 patients now enrolled. Every patient included in the trial brings us one step closer to understanding whether urgent stenting improves patients’ outcome—Let's fly together! 🚀 Marios Psychogios, Prof. Dr. Urs Fischer, Alex B, Luzia Balmer, Katja Fromm, University Hospital Basel, University of Basel, Departement Klinische Forschung, Universität Basel, University of Bern, Insel Gruppe #InterventionalNeuroradiology #ICARUS #TeamUSB
