Groin complications in endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: a 10-year single center experience
Conclusions These findings suggest that concerns for groin complications should not preclude the use of BGCs and large-bore sheaths in mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.

Blood transfusion for preventing primary and secondary stroke in people with sickle cell disease.
CONCLUSIONS: There is no evidence for managing adults, or children who do not have HbSS sickle cell disease.In children who are at higher risk of stroke and have not had previous long-term transfusions, there is moderate quality evidence that long-term red cell transfusions reduce the risk of stroke, and low quality evidence they also reduce the risk of other sickle cell disease-related complications.In primary and secondary prevention of stroke there is low quality evidence that switching to hydroxyurea with phlebotomy has little or no effect on the liver iron concentration.In secondary prevention of stroke there is low-q...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 3849: Association between Anemia Severity and Ischemic Stroke Incidence: A Retrospective Cohort Study
i Chien Stroke patients presenting with anemia at the time of stroke onset had a higher risk of mortality and development of other cardiovascular diseases and comorbidities. The association between the severity of anemia and the risk of developing a stroke is still uncertain. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between stroke incidence and anemia severity (by WHO criteria). A total of 71,787 patients were included, of whom 16,708 (23.27%) were identified as anemic and 55,079 patients were anemia-free. Female patients (62.98%) were more likely to have anemia than males (37.02%). The likelihood of ...

Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Recent Trends from the Fukuoka Stroke Registry
Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage is a potentially serious complication of acute stroke, but its incidence appears to be decreasing. The aim of this study was to elucidate the etiology of GI bleeding and its impact on clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke in recent years. Methods: Using the database of the Fukuoka Stroke Registry, 6,529 patients with acute ischemic stroke registered between June 2007 and December 2012 were included in this study. We recorded clinical data including any previous history of peptic ulcer, prestroke drug history including the use of antiplatelets, anticoagulants, ...

Muscle haematoma due to antithrombotic treatment for ischaemic stroke
Publication date: July 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 22, Issue 7 Author(s): Akiyuki Hiraga , Yoko Nakagawa , Ikuo Kamitsukasa , Takeshi Suzuki , Satoshi Kuwabara The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and clinical features of muscle haematoma in ischaemic stroke patients. Muscle haematomas are rare complications that occur during antithrombotic treatment for acute ischaemic stroke. Clinical and laboratory records of ischaemic stroke patients with muscle haematomas in the last 3.5years were retrospectively reviewed. Muscular haematoma developed in three of 694 (0.4%) consecutive pat...

O-001 groin complications in endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: a 10-year single center experience
ConclusionsIn our series, the low groin complication rate (0.4%-0.8%) in thrombectomy suggests that concerns for vascular complications should not preclude the use of BGCs in the endovascular treatment of ischemic stroke.DisclosuresV.

The Way Forward: Challenges and Opportunities in Pediatric Stroke
The past two decades have seen a remarkable increase in publications on pediatric stroke, reflecting increased awareness of its impact on childhood health. The results of the Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia (STOP), published in 1998, which showed that chronic blood transfusion decreased the risk of stroke in high risk children with sickle cell anemia by 92%, revolutionized the care of children with sickle cell anemia 1 and highlighted the importance of primary stroke prevention. Surgical revascularization is used increasingly to decrease the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in children with moyamoya ce...

Ischemic Stroke Related to Severe Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Adults May Benefit from Blood Transfusion (P01.232)
CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of IDA is 1-20%; it is 3.9% in our AIS population and is often related to untreated uterine bleeding. As described in the pediatric population, severe IDA may be an underlying mechanism of ischemic stroke in adults, therefore, efforts must be undertaken to identify and treat the cause of the anemia. While patients with AIS and severe IDA may receive TPA, blood transfusion may be considered as an adjuvant therapy.Supported by: SPOTRIAS P50 NS044227 & NIH Training Grant 5T 32NS0077412-12.Disclosure: Dr. Choi has nothing to disclose.

Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator for an Ischemic Stroke with Occult Double Primary Cancer
Discussion: Although systemic thrombolysis with tPA for ischemic stroke in patients with advanced-stage cancer may be performed relatively safely, optimal post-thrombolysis management is important to prevent the complications.Case Rep Neurol 2014;6:238-242

Dilemma in approach to stroke in sickle cell disease patient: A case report
Conclusion: Recommendations need to be put in place regarding screening for PFO in patients with SCD, in addition to highlighting issues of whether screening needs to be done in patients who have not developed stroke, and if PFO were to be found, what would be the best management approach and how will prognosis be affected.

Effect of tirofiban in treating patients with progressive ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Tirofiban combined with conventional basic treatment can greatly improve neurological deficits and disease outcomes, alleviate platelet adhesion, and reduce platelet activation without increasing the risk of hemorrhage in PIS patients.PMID:35363359 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202203_28357
