Time to Endovascular Reperfusion and Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionAmong patients with acute ischemic stroke in routine clinical practice, shorter time to reperfusion was associated with better outcome after endovascular therapy. Standardized workflows and training in endovascular treatment techniques should be promoted nationally to reduce in-hospital delays.

Results of Systemizing Stroke Care in Acute Endovascular Patients (P2.308)
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a streamlined routing and transfer process significantly shortened treatment times and decreased complications in our stroke patients. Our pre-established expedited triage, imaging, stroke physician expertise, and mechanical clot retrieval proficiency resulted in more favorable outcomes. With these changes, patients receive the most specialized endovascular care in a highly efficient manner.Disclosure: Dr. Hawkins has nothing to disclose. Dr. Martin has nothing to disclose.

Arterial Closure Devices for Treatment of Inadvertent Large-Caliber Catheter Insertion Into the Subclavian or Carotid Artery: A Case Series of Five Patients
CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERIZATION is a common procedure in today`s medicine. Iatrogenic complications occur in up to 34% of catheter placements including 5% of arterial puncture. A variety of complications by arterial puncture have recently been described, including airway obstruction, pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, and even stroke caused by arterial thrombosis or embolization. Although 2-D ultrasound assisted insertion of large central venous catheters may reduce adverse events, it might not be available in an emergency setting, and the use of ultrasound guidance requires training. Depending on anatomic localizatio...
