Abstract:

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major global health challenge, with outcomes highly dependent on rapid access to endovascular therapy (EVT). Traditional stroke workflows often result in treatment delays due to separate modalities used for imaging and intervention steps being in different rooms, but the adoption of One-Stop management, where diagnostic imaging and EVT are performed in the angiography suite, can considerably reduce door-to-groin times and improve patient outcomes. Recent innovations, such as flat panel CT (FDCT) protocols and the ARTIS icono system, have addressed previous limitations in brain parenchyma imaging and workflow efficiency. Evidence from clinical experience and ongoing trials suggests that implementation of the One-Stop approach offers a promising pathway to faster, more effective stroke care and sets the stage for broader improvements in stroke management systems.
