Abstract
The Stroke Treatment Academic Industry Roundtable XII included a workshop to discuss the most promising approaches to improve outcome from acute stroke. The workshop brought together representatives from academia, industry, and government representatives. The discussion examined approaches in 4 epochs: pre-reperfusion, reperfusion, post-reperfusion, and access to acute stroke interventions. The participants identified areas of priority for developing new and existing treatments and approaches to improve stroke outcomes. Although many advances in acute stroke therapy have been achieved, more work is necessary for reperfusion therapies to benefit the most possible patients. Prioritization of promising approaches should help guide the use of resources and investigator efforts.
