Hassan et al: IV tPA is associated with increase in rates of intracerebral hemorrhage and length of stay in patients with acute stroke treated with endovascular treatment within 4.5 hours: should we bypass IV tPA in large vessel occlusion?

Huge smile on my face today. A ruptured AVM embolization pt came by to say hello & tell us he has picked up a new hobby singing & playing the piano! His wife thanked us for not giving up on him after a physician told her “he won’t make it” He wanted to thank the awesome staff!
It's Stroke Awareness Month, and we're honored to play a part in saving lives in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas! Together, let's raise awareness, educate, and empower our communities to prevent strokes and promote a healthier future. 💪
