TI Best Evidence Webinar


TITLE: Optimising Outcomes in Persons with Carotid Stenosis: Where are we up to in April 2021?

PRESENTER: Professor Anne Abbott is a neurologist from the Central Clinical School at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. She made the paradigm shifting discovery that the ipsilateral stroke rate associated with advanced (50-99%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis has fallen by at least 65% to approximately 0.8% over the last 3-4 decades with medical intervention alone (lifestyle modification and medication). This stroke rate is lower than with surgery or stenting in past trials. A/Prof Abbott’s work is having a significant impact in updating guidelines, policy and practice for improved stroke prevention in persons with carotid arterial disease. There are also implications for better prevention of all arterial disease complications.’

DATE: Wednesday, April 14, 2021

TIME: 14:00 – 15:00 Pacific Standard Time PST [UTC -7 convert to your local time]

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  • understand that medical intervention (lifestyle coaching and appropriate medication) is the most effective weapon we have against arterial disease, that it is highly effective and continues to improve
  • understand the various forces at work which encourage inappropriate use of carotid artery procedures (surgery and stenting)
  • understand some new ways in which audience members can get involved and help improve patient outcomes on a global scale
