InFocus: Imaging Helps ID Stroke Area, but to No Avail

I know I posted about this earlier but it bears repeating. That until the neuronal cascade of death is solved these interventions won't show the best results. Dr. Joseph P. Broderick, do you even understand what you are up against? Just blowing out the clot does not solve the stroke problem.

Researchers are refining every detail of stroke patient treatment to improve outcomes and advanced imaging might prove beneficial, Chelsea Kidwell, MD, said in this exclusive InFocus interview.
Kidwell, of Georgetown University, was the principle investigator of the MR RESCUE trial, which used advanced MRI and/or CT imaging to identify salvageable brain tissue. The hope was that by targeting these areas with endovascular therapy, outcomes would improve.
But hypotheses are generated to answer questions, and in this case, the answers didn't quite match up to expectations, Kidwell reported here.
It's not the end for this line of inquiry, however, Kidwell told Chris Kaiser, MedPage Today cardiology editor, as new trials will no doubt test emerging embolectomy devices and new protocols to bring treatment more rapidly to patients.
