Intra-Arterial Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Related to the Procoagulant Effect of Warfarin in A Patient with Atrial Fibrillation and Bioprosthetic Valve Replacement
CONCLUSION: This report describes the roles of endovascular therapy and NOAC in patients with similar highly complex conditions and has clinical relevance for therapeutic plans in the clinical setting.PMID:37674421

Prevalence, Mechanisms, and Management of Ischemic Stroke in Heart Failure Patients
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1726329Heart failure (HF) and stroke, two of the major causes of death worldwide, are closely associated. Although atrial fibrillation (AF), which occurs in more than half of patients with HF, is a major risk factor for stroke, there is a great deal of evidence that HF itself increases the risk of stroke independent of AF. The main mechanism of stroke appears to be thromboembolism. However, previous studies have failed to demonstrate the benefit of warfarin in patients with HF without AF, as the benefit of stroke prevention was counteracted by the increased incidence of major bleeding. Rece...

Cerebrovascular Accidents During Mechanical Circulatory Support Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients on LVAD support. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increases the risk of ischemic stroke, whereas dialysis may increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Although any stroke increases mortality, post-LVAD hemorrhagic stroke was associated with higher mortality compared with ischemic stroke.

Resting Heart Rate and Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Heart Failure
This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between RHR and ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm.Methods: We examined 2,060 patients with systolic heart failure in sinus rhythm from the Warfarin versus Aspirin in Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction trial. RHR was determined from baseline electrocardiogram, and was examined as both a continuous variable and a categorical variable using quartiles. Ischemic strokes were identified during follow-up and adjudicated by physician review.Results: During 3.5 ± 1.8 years of follow-up, 77 patients (5.3% from Kaplan-Meier [KM] curve) experienced an i...
