When it comes to ischemic stroke, even when mild, go big or go home. Check our latest publication, Optimization and individualization of dual antiplatelet therapy strategies for older patients with mild to moderate ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis. journals.lww.com/aa/fulltext/99…

🧠💉 Time to rethink the time window for IVT in stroke patients. Our new meta-analysis in the Journal of Stroke shows that TNK, given 4.5–24 hours after stroke onset, improves functional independence without increasing the risk of bleeding. j-stroke.org/journal/view.p…

Hard work from residency is still paying off 🔥 Check our latest publication “Delayed cerebral vasculopathy following pneumococcal meningitis: a case report”. academic.oup.com/omcr/article/2…

A great thread! “You don’t lead by resisting change. You lead by shaping what it becomes.”

I’m blessed to have the chance to soon train under the supervision of Dr. Al-Mufti! Mentorship is not only about supervision, it is about growth and helping the mentee build their own mindset in the field. Fawaz Al-Mufti, MD, FSVIN Westchester Medical Center Health Network

“The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won.” I couldn't have asked for better partners, co-fellows, and, more importantly, friends during this journey in the realm of vascular neurology. UMiamiStroke UMiami Health System Jackson Health System

In a world that often felt like it was falling apart, the Brickell Soccer Family was an anchor, something real to hold onto to stay sane. Goodbye, brothers!

New era, new challenges!

Check our new study, Publication Race: The Battle for Residency in a Competitive Landscape, which shows research is now central to matching. From 2009 to 2024, publications increased by 365%, with the largest jump in competitive specialties. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40622151/

When you are taking a break from neuroendovascular training, and you see this lamp somewhere. If you know it, you know it 😉

Glad to see our work on blood pressure management post endovascular thrombectomy cited in the AHA Guidelines for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HY…

Check our recent publication on the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for retinal artery occlusion. Time is brain🧠, time is retina 👁️! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40739887/

Equipoise continues 🧠 While direct aspiration may hold a slight advantage over stent retrievers, this does not strongly translate to clinical benefits. Further studies, preferably clinical trials, are needed in this regard. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40884579/

Secondary analysis of ARCADIA: In patients with LV systolic dysfunction, apixaban did cut the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke compared with aspirin. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

Dealing with AIS in the setting of tandem occlusion is challenging, especially when considering CAS in patients who received IVT. Our results confirm not only the beneficial effects but also the safety of IVT in this particular population of patients. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40920232/

I don’t think I will ever cease to be astonished by the miracle of the intracranial vasculature.

My brother Ahmed Taher, MD is doing his usual thing; being exceptional 👏🔥👏

An honor to be a part of this insightful study 🧠 #TRIMIS #WSC25
