2021 Global Neurosurgery Lyceum Series: Stroke and Neurovascular Symposium

Thursday, May 20, 2021, 6:30 AM - 5:00 PM

We will not be accepting any registrations after 8:00am on Wednesday, May 19, 2021.

The Global Neurosurgery Lyceum Series: Stroke and Neurovascular Symposium is designed to provide neurosurgeons, neurologists, physicians and allied healthcare professionals with a comprehensive overview of the current and emerging cutting-edge management strategies for cerebrovascular diseases and stroke, delivered by internationally renowned neurosurgeons, neurologists, and researchers.

Cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of serious long-term disability, and the second leading cause of death worldwide. Although the field of stroke and neurovascular care has brought advances toward improving outcomes for patients who are neurocritically ill, in many instances especially, functional outcomes remain poor. Studies have suggested that previous declines in cerebrovascular disease mortality and hospitalization rates have stalled, and that mortality from cerebrovascular disease is increasing significantly among younger adults. These reasons include patient-related factors (e.g., development of new health problems, deterioration of overall health status, or complications from stroke), health system factors (e.g., poor discharge planning and care coordination), and environmental factors (e.g., limited access to care).

This symposium is dedicated to endovascular, neurosurgical, and neurological education, and will cover emerging trends in stroke, neurovascular surgery, neuro-intervention, and neurocritical care. The symposium will emphasize on disseminating the advances in the field of stroke, aneurysm and other neurovascular disorders management, thereby improving the care, better recognition, and timely referral and intervention to prevent secondary brain injury. The examination of health care delivery, management strategies, and identification of individual thresholds by means of advanced technology, all play important roles in how neurovascular care will be presented. Neurovascular care and research are a multidisciplinary and multi-professional effort, and neurosurgeons, and neurologists are tasked to lead this effort to further advance the field.
