Overview
The field of cerebrovascular care is evolving rapidly, with new advancements shaping the way we diagnose, treat, and manage complex conditions. The Cleveland Clinic Innovations in Cerebrovascular Care 2025 meeting will highlight the latest clinical breakthroughs and technological innovations while fostering multidisciplinary discussions on some of the most pressing challenges in patient care. Designed for practitioners across neurosciences and related specialties, this meeting provides a platform to explore cutting-edge strategies and collaborate on improving outcomes for patients with cerebrovascular conditions. Join us as we explore the future of cerebrovascular care.
Who Should Attend?
This educational activity is intended for emergency medicine physicians, fellows, neurointensivists, neurointerventionalists, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, primary care physicians, and residents who treat cerebrovascular patients.
Learning Objectives
After completing this educational activity, participants will be able to do the following:
- Discuss the relevance of venous anatomy and its implications for venous disorders and stroke.
- Debate the role of venous stenting versus medical therapy in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
- Critically review the approaches to treating cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, including the use and timing of thrombectomy versus medical therapy.
- Provide an evidence-based review of key advances in cerebrovascular care, including new technologies and artificial intelligence, and describe their use in clinical practice.
- Summarize and interpret the latest updates and trial results from the largest cerebrovascular conferences in the world.
- Summarize the issues supporting minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation.
- Debate aggressive versus conservative anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation post ICH.
- Describe the potential use of technological innovations, especially artificial intelligence-based models, and wearable devices to improve cerebrovascular outcomes
- Review new therapies and devices in neurocritical care, especially their role in multimodal monitoring, transcranial doppler, and EEG for delayed cerebral ischemia.
- Provide evidence supporting medical versus interventional therapies for the management of cervical carotid webs and define their optimal use in clinical practice.
- List the key issues and latest developments in endovascular versus medical therapy for medium vessel occlusion and aggressive versus permissive strategies for lowering blood pressure in acute stroke.
- Analyze complex cases to evaluate advances in device technology and endovascular techniques for treating cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, atherosclerotic disease, stroke, and other cerebrovascular disorders.
