How can cutting-edge stroke care be delivered in resource-limited settings, and how can access to neurointervention be improved?
Raul G. Nogueira discusses the global impact of stroke, including mortality, disease burden, and economic costs, highlighting disparities between urban, wealthy regions and rural, low-resource areas. He emphasizes the unequal access to mechanical thrombectomy and the need for more trained professionals, better distribution of stroke centers, and advocacy for improved care.
He also presents the RESILIENT trial, which studied thrombectomy for stroke within Brazil’s public healthcare system. This landmark study not only secured reimbursement in Brazil but also influenced stroke care policies across other South American countries.
