Disentangling Workflow Paradigms and Treatment Decision-making in Acute Ischemic Stroke

To the Editor We congratulate Requena and colleagues on their randomized trial, in which they compared a direct-to-angiography suite (DTAS) paradigm with a conventional workflow paradigm, ie, cross-sectional imaging, followed by transport to the angiography suite for endovascular treatment (EVT) when appropriate. The authors found that a DTAS paradigm not only decreased in-hospital workflow times but also increased the odds of patients undergoing EVT, both of which may have contributed to the improved clinical outcomes in the DTAS group.
