Lama Alstanbuli: Discussing and Optimizing Stroke Pathways Across Healthcare Systems
Lama Alstanbuli, Product Marketing Manager at Penumbra, Inc., shared Penumbra EMEA‘s post on LinkedIn:
“Every stroke pathway has a local context. There is real value in opening that conversation across borders.
The Neuro Course in Riga brought together physicians from different regions, connecting different clinical experiences through presentations, live cases and hands-on training.
With that mix comes an opportunity to look beyond technique: to discuss the decisions, challenges and practices that shape stroke care in different healthcare settings, and consider what we can learn from one another.
I valued the opportunity to present and guide physicians through a hands-on workstation, where the exchanges were particularly rewarding. Their questions and perspectives were as valuable as the content we shared.
For me, this is what makes medical education meaningful: active participation, open discussion and learning that physicians can bring back to their teams. An important step in the ongoing work of discussing and optimizing stroke pathways across regions.
Grateful for the team’s collaboration and support, Alexandros Theodoridis, Kārlis Baumanis, Aneta Ligęza and for your guidance Fady Almhawas.”
Penumbra EMEA shared a post on LinkedIn:
“We are incredibly grateful to Prof. Karlis Kupcs and Dr. Helmuts Kidikas for sharing their expertise and leading a highly successful neuro workshop in Riga last week.
This educational program combined hands-on sessions and live cases, helping physicians strengthen their clinical skills in neuro embolisation and AIS thrombectomy using Penumbra’s comprehensive portfolio.
The session also provided an interactive opportunity to share user experiences including discussions with faculty on evaluating the risks and benefits of mechanical thrombectomy in LVOs and MEVOs.
Attendees gained technical and clinical insights into navigating challenging cases, along with practical tips and tricks to enhance their technical skills.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this program, your engagement and enthusiasm made this workshop a success.”
