Outcome
Vera was repatriated on the day after her thrombectomy. She recovered well, and went home a week after her stroke, able to live independently and care for her husband.
Key messages
- The drip & ship pathway will be the most common route to thrombectomy, but it is complex.
- Excellent coordination and communication between spoke and hub hospitals and the SAS is required to optimise patient safety and outcomes.
- Protocols, documentation and training need to be harmonised across the pathways.
