[Comment] Clinical innovation in stroke: getting the simple things right

In many high-income countries, most biomedical research funding has been spent on laboratory-based research aimed at understanding the molecular and cellular processes that underpin health or disease, with only a fraction targeted at clinical innovation.1 Yet, the benefits of clinical innovation are evident in almost all areas of medicine and particularly in surgery, as illustrated by innovations such as joint replacement, cataract removal, endoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal or urological disease, endovascular interventions (eg, arterial angioplasty or stenting or coiling of cerebral aneurysms), minimally invasive surgery, and stereotactic neurosurgery, to name but a few.
