CHOICE2 results presented at #ISC26

[Dr. Negar Asdaghi @NAsdaghi]

Breaking news #ISC26. Choice2 was a positive RCT. IA tpA post successful EVT. But mortality was increased with IA tpA @StrokeAHA_ASA

[Shadi Yaghi @ShadiYaghi2]

sICH risk post IVT in CAA seems to be driven by microbleeds and superficial siderosis. Check out this terrific study by my colleagues from Canada 🇨🇦 showing the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was only seen in Boston 1.0 and 1.5 and not 2.0. https://t.co/FdI22ynbKg

The new AHA acute stroke guidelines are out. These reflect comprehensive available evidence in acute ischemic stroke including systems of care, use of TNK, EVT eligibility, antithrombotic use, pediatric stroke, and management of cytotoxic brain edema. https://t.co/iGSiy3mMHk

Just landed in the session “Updates in Vascular Neurology” moderated by @NuroseKarim at #SVIN2025 — the field is evolving faster than ever. Excited to hear the newest on large core, STOP CAD and arterial dissections. 🚀🧠 l

#CREST2 Results 🚨
CAS + IMM > IMM alone, lower risk of periop stroke/death within 4y for asymptomatic high grade carotid stenosis, no sig benefit in CEA arm

So exciting!!
#SVIN2025 #CREST2

[Fawaz Al-Mufti, MD, FSVIN @almuftifawaz]

Watch. To. The. End.
#SVIN2025 just casually dropped a bombshell:
CREST-2 says carotid stenting > CEA + medical management.
Yes, you read that right.

The data has spoken: ARD 3.2%, RR 2.13, and the p-value didn’t come to play.

The plenary hall was purely electric.
You could feel the field shift in real time.

CREST 2 presentation at #SVIN25. A landmark trial that will hopefully change guidelines in the near future.

[Shadi Yaghi @ShadiYaghi2]

Carotid artery stenting for the win for asymptomatic severe carotid stenosis. Very impressive trial by the CREST-2 team. Congratulations! @ChaturvediNeuro #SVIN25 https://t.co/cYJQxW4DYL

[Fawaz Al-Mufti, MD, FSVIN @almuftifawaz]

Verdict is out!!!!! #CREST2 RESULTS FAVORING CAS!!!

Absolute risk difference = 3.2% (95% Cl, 0.6 to 5.9; P=0.016) Relative risk = 2.13 (95% Cl, 1.15 to 4.39)
