An esteemed neurologist, professor, and clinical epidemiologist at the University of Calgary, Michael D. Hill, MD, is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to stroke treatment. His novel clinical trials and research have set new standards for effective care and treatment of strokes, 85% of which are ischemic. Among his many achievements, Dr. Hill co-led the groundbreaking ESCAPE trial, demonstrating the effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for removing large blood clots that cause the most severe ischemic strokes.
