Gregory W Albers

[outro jingle]And this concludes our podcast for the September 2026 issue of Stroke.

Please be sure to check out this month's table of contents for the full list of publications, including a special report by Dr. Greg Albers from Stanford University Medical Center and colleagues proposing changes to the 2026 American Heart Association and American Stroke Association guidelines regarding imaging selection for endovascular thrombectomy in the six to 24-hour time window, as well as a second special report from the guidelines writing group themselves responding to and declining these proposed modifications.

These special reports highlight the ever-changing evidence behind the choice of imaging modality and patient selection for endovascular thrombectomy and the continued evolution of the guidelines.

As new evidence emerges, now more than ever, staying up to date is essential, and what better way to do so than staying alert with Stroke Alert? [outro music] This podcast is produced by Walters Kluwer and BioMedia Communications and supported by the editorial team of Stroke.
