iCure Stroke 2022 Hack 1.1 + Redeem Codes

Dear Colleague,
The iCure Stroke organization was one of the first face-to-face meetings after the strict pandemic period, allowing our event to meet with more than 350 registered participants from 31 countries. We are proud of the feedback we received at this face-to-face meeting, especially regarding the relevance of the content in real-life stroke practice. We received great incentives to further develop this special education and exchange platform. We believe our motto "Bridge Therapies and Communities" is more relevant now than ever before.

Challenges of Modern Stroke Treatment...
In our first edition, we focused on indications for mechanical thrombectomy, techniques, decision making, and the notion of "customized care in stroke intervention, pre and intra-hospital organization, as well as the creation of a "stroke survival chain".

The pandemic had a deep impact on all aspects of life, but also, specifically on ischemic stroke:

• At the beginning of the pandemic, many of us saw a significant drop in the number of cases making it to the hospital.

• Workflows were modified due to several factors:
• Finally, stroke outcomes risk being impacted due to the virus possibly directly affecting stroke pathogenesis or simply as a by-product of patients arriving in more severe condition and being treated more slowly than usual.

The status quo has been challenged. Questioning what we take for granted and exchanging best practices has never been this primordial.

Mastering Complexity through Simplification
In this unprecedented context, iCure Stroke will fix its goal as defining the essential focus in ischemic stroke service. We aim to provide a simple, practical approach and cutting-edge educational content, for attendees to go back with easily applicable take-home messages.

We decided to re-iterate iCure Stroke as a "traditional" on-site meeting in 2022 because we believe that a format with real - as opposed to virtual - contact is what impacts intense learning. Debates are difficult, if not impossible to stimulate during webinars. We believe that emulation of ideas and generation of consensus is possible only when inspired individuals exchange ideas in face-to-face discussions. Hence, we will organize a real event, taking all protective measures that may be relevant at the time the meeting will be taking place.

We look forward to meeting you again in İstanbul in 23-25 June 2022.
