This course will provide attendees with an update of all major areas of clinical interest in vascular neurology. Lectures will cover management of acute ischemic stroke, brain hemorrhage, symptomatic and asymptomatic vascular lesions including arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, cerebral aneurysms and carotid stenosis. The course will also cover the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to stroke. Lectures will be supplemented with highlights of images in clinical vascular neurology and group discussions of clinical vignettes.
As part of the Mayo Clinic 10th Annual Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease Review 2018, an electronic poster session for presentation of original research dedicated to the field of Neurology will be held. Challenging Stroke Cases are welcome. These may include challenging stroke cases (i.e., case reports) of those encountered in clinical practice. The conference will also review stroke randomized trials, outcome studies, potential practice innovations, stroke monitoring, and stroke center systems-based practice innovation or improvements. Posters will be chosen from all abstracts received by the Friday, September 14, 2018 submission deadline.
Abstract Eligibility: Original abstracts that either have or have not been presented at other meetings will be considered for the conference. Abstracts based upon published papers based on stroke will also be considered. Research Competition: Outstanding abstracts will be selected for electronic poster presentations at the 2018 Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease Review course.
Number of Entries: A participant may be the primary author on no more than two abstracts; however, he or she may be a contributing author on any number of abstracts. Deadline: Abstract submission deadline is Friday, September 14, 2018.
