Episode 67 - Posterior Stroke Basics With Dr. Jeremiah Johnson

Continuing with the dizziness theme for the 2019 holiday season, Dr. Dickson is joined on episode 67 by Dr. Jeremiah Johnson. Dr. Johnson is a neurosurgeon here in Montgomery County where he's the Director of the Comprehensive Stroke program at CHI-St. Luke's Hospital in The Woodlands.

Are posterior strokes time sensitive and amenable to TPA and/or clot retrieval in the same manner as anterior strokes? For answers to all these questions and many more, take a listen and hear from a true expert in the rapidly advancing field of endovascular treatment for acute stroke.
