Consensus document on the training of interventional cardiologists to perform EVT in stroke

The ESC Council on Stroke has developed a training proposal in cooperation with the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) and the European Board of Neurointervention (EBNI). This multi-society consensus document lays the foundation for a feasible training path for interventional cardiologists to learn the technics of endovascular stroke therapy, with the aim of providing a broader access to this highly efficient therapy, without compromising patient’s safety. The paper is expected to be published in early December in the European Heart Journal.
