Description
The management of TIA and Stroke in the UK is changing and currently both the National Institute of Clinical Excellence and the Department of Health are producing new guidelines.
The introduction of thrombolysis for the management of ischaemic stroke is gaining increased acceptance. The maximum benefit of a carotid endarterectomy is within the first week from the development of symptoms. There is still controversy on the place of carotid angioplasty.
The timing is appropriate for a symposium to debate critical issues on the management of patients with cerebrovascular disease.
Our invited faculty includes some of the best known experts from a variety of fields such as neuroradiology, neurology, vascular surgery and care of the elderly.
