Dr. Shashvat Desai received a grant from the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN) to be used to start and complete the Doppler Study. 

Timely and efficient reperfusion after acute ischemic stroke in the setting of a large vessel occlusion is essential to achieving good outcomes however at least 50% of patients continue to have poor outcomes despite receiving endovascular therapy. Post-procedural blood pressure management is a modifiable therapeutic target, however current parameters are largely arbitrary and are not routinely tailored to a specific patient or clinical scenario. The Doppler Study aims to use transcranial doppler technology based collateral status evaluation to guide blood pressure management in the post thrombectomy patient.
