Impact of atrial fibrillation on the development of ischemic stroke among cancer patients classified by CHA2DS2-VASc score-a nationwide cohort study.
Conclusions: The impact of AF on risk of ischemic stroke was attenuated with advancing CHA2DS2-VASc score in patients with cancer. PMID: 29484138 [PubMed]

Management of acute ischemic stroke after pulmonary resection: incidence and efficacy of endovascular thrombus aspiration
ConclusionSince cerebral infarction impairs the patient ’s quality of life, thrombus removal should be considered if possible.

Comparison of Clinical Features, Immune-Inflammatory Markers, and Outcomes Between Patients with Acute In-Hospital and Out-of-Hospital Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: Patients with IHIS had more complicated clinical features, higher levels of immune-inflammatory markers, and higher rates of mortality than patients with OHIS. The most significant predictor for mortality among those with OHIS was NIHSS score >10, and the predictors among patients with IHIS were NLR >5.5 and SII >2120.PMID:35177921 | PMC:PMC8843816 | DOI:10.2147/JIR.S342830

Midbrain and bilateral paramedian thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion.
CONCLUSION: Bilateral thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion is a rare presentation of stroke, which can be overlooked in routine CT scan. If diagnosed, it requires further evaluation for stroke risk factors, especially cardiovascular disorders associated with increased embolic risk. PMID: 27154444 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cessation of oral anticoagulation is an important risk factor for stroke and mortality in atrial fibrillation patients.
In conclusion, in non-valvular AF patients, cessation of OAC was independently associated with the risk of stroke, adverse cardiovascular events and mortality. Bleeding events and some variables associated with higher bleeding risk are responsible for OAC cessation. PMID: 28331926 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Usefulness of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc Scores for Stroke Prediction in Patients With Cancer and Atrial Fibrillation
Stroke prediction scores have not been validated in patients with cancer and Atrial Fibrillation (AF). We aimed to identify unique risk factors and evaluate validity of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores to predict risk of stroke and mortality. A retrospective review of all cancer patients with pre-existing AF presenting from 2008 to 2014 was performed. Outcomes included ischemic stroke and mortality. Prognostic factors were identified with Fine& Gray regression for stroke and Cox proportional hazards analysis for survival.

Abstract 14: The Influence of Provider Specialty on Anticoagulation Prescription Fills and Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With History of Cancer Session Title: Poster Session Reception: Young Investigator Award Semi-Finalists
Conclusion: AF patients with cancer were less likely to see a cardiologist, and less likely to fill an anticoagulant prescription than AF patients without cancer. However, cardiology involvement was associated with increased anticoagulant prescription fills and reduced risk of stroke, suggesting a beneficial role for cardiology providers to improve outcomes in AF patients with history of cancer.

Cancer diagnosis as a risk factor of ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation patients with low stroke risk score
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well known risk factor of ischemic stroke (IS). Patients categorized as low risk according to stroke risk scores are not routinely recommended anticoagulation prophylaxis. Cancer is known to increase the risk of IS, but it is not clear to what extent cancer is a risk factor of IS in AF patients with low stroke risk score.

Edoxaban for the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Authors: Cervantes CE, Merino JL, Barrios V Abstract INTRODUCTION: Edoxaban is the last direct oral anticoagulant marketed for the prevention of stroke among patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Areas covered: ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 was the pivotal clinical trial that led to the approval of edoxaban 60 mg once daily. After the publication of this study, a great number of substudies and post hoc analyses have been published, together with some observational studies. The aim of this review was to update the current evidence about the use of edoxaban in AF patients. Expert commentary: In the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 4...

Neutrophil Recruitment in Arterial Thrombus and Characteristics of Stroke Patients with Neutrophil-Rich Thrombus
CONCLUSION: Neutrophils were recruited and increased in arterial thrombosis in a time-dependent manner; however, they were not associated with the growth of formed thrombi. Neutrophil fractions in the thrombi of stroke patients appeared to be associated with atrial fibrillation and erythrocyte fraction.PMID:36303310 | DOI:10.3349/ymj.2022.0328
