Antithrombotic Strategy in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Differences Between Neurologists and Haematologists in a Canadian Survey (P6.007)
Conclusions: In this cohort, there are differences between neurologists and hematologists with regards to initial choice of anticoagulant. It is possible that more complex presenting cases of CVT with concurrent venous infarction, hemorrhage or seizure may present to neurologists as compared to hematologists. Thus, an initial preference for UFH may reflect a desire for a reversible agent with a short half-life in the event of bleeding complications in an unstable patient. Our study is limited by response bias, though our response rate of 28[percnt] is comparable to other contemporary web-based physician surveys. The majori...

Patient Safety and Outcomes after Thrombolysis within a 4.5 Hour Window Via Telestroke Network (P03.179)
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that IV thrombolysis within a 4.5 hour window can be performed safely and effectively through a telemedicine network with outcomes similar to what can be obtained treating patients directly at an academic stroke center.Disclosure: Dr. Suwatcharangkoon has nothing to disclose.
