This week we are joined by Dr. Michael Hill, world renowned Stroke researcher with the Hotchkiss Brain Institute of the University of Calgary. Dr. Hill chatted with us about one of his most iconic trials, ESCAPE, which was the Canadian effort of the HERMES Collaboration to show that Endovascular Therapy (EVT) is an effective treatment method for ischemic strokes. This open-label blinded-outcome, randomized control trial was a profound success, with results showing a 50% reduction in mortality rates! We then discussed the promising results of his following trial, ESCAPE-NA1, and Dr. Hill gave us a sneak peak as to what he has planned next. Enjoy!
