Video Transcription

Video Summary

This session highlights the importance of evidence-based approaches in post-market healthcare investments, particularly in managing patients with intermediate-risk conditions. It underscores the significance of enrolling patients in randomized trials to refine and potentially alter treatment guidelines. Discussions focus on large-bore thrombectomy versus catheter-directed therapy (CDT) and their roles in patient care. Emphasis is placed on regional discrepancies in treatment approaches and the need for more data to develop clinical algorithms. Experts advocate for ongoing trials and collaboration among medical organizations to enhance patient care and guidelines, with a call for continued funding and support.
