Note the word patient-centered Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any objective diagnosis or even something as simple as hypothermia to reduce brain damage. Nothing on treating the neuronal cascade of death. I'll have to see if I can find the authors and ask why they missed everything good.

In February, the guidelines
will be published first in SIR's Journal of Vascular and Interventional
Radiology and subsequently by each society either in its respective
journal or on its website.
"These groundbreaking guidelines are the product of two years of
collaboration among multidisciplinary teams from eight societies," said
Marshall E. Hicks, M.D., FSIR, president of the Society of
Interventional Radiology, the national society of nearly 5,000 doctors,
scientists and allied health professionals dedicated to improving health
care through minimally invasive treatments. "With real progress being
made in research and treatment of stroke over the last decade, this
distinguished group of international authors—from societies whose
members perform minimally invasive stroke treatments—felt that the time
was right for a consensus on how to effectively treat and manage stroke
patients," said Hicks, the head of the division of diagnostic imaging at
the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
"The one constant in stroke treatment is time," noted David Sacks, M.D.,
FSIR, an interventional radiologist at Reading Hospital and Medical
Center in West Reading, Pa., and the study's lead author. "Seconds count
from time of admission to treatment. Meeting the outcomes described in
these guidelines will ultimately benefit patients by requiring strict
adherence to a rapid treatment schedule," he added. Stroke is the fourth
leading cause of adult death and disability in the United States and
the third leading cause of death in Canada, Europe and Japan.
The guidelines recommend submission of outcomes to a national registry
that will allow research and also comparisons between facilities. Sacks
noted that the benchmarks in the paper are intended to be used in a
quality assurance program to assess and improve processes and outcomes
in acute stroke revascularization, which is the opening of a blocked
artery to the brain. He said that the guidelines may also be helpful to
facilities that are interested in applying for accreditation as a
comprehensive stroke center. "As the field of stroke revascularization
evolves, the guidelines will be revised as needed," he added.
In 2003, the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology published a
joint society document to guide the design and reporting of stroke
research; the new guidelines address clinical care. The co-authors
completed a review of the relevant literature from 1986 through February
2012 as the basis for creating performance metrics and thresholds. "All
society representatives vigorously discussed each issue based on the
literature review and personal experience," said Sacks.
