Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Isolate Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are rare cause for ischemic stroke. British Thoracic Society Clinical Statement considered insufficient evidence of safety or clinical benefit to recommend thrombolysis for stroke with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. For pulmonary arteriovenous malformations with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, bleeding risk after thrombolysis is high, while for isolate pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, bleeding risk is much lower. We here present 2 cases of ischemic stroke with isolate pulmonary arteriovenous malformations treated with thrombolysis.

What is the Price of the Potential for a Meaningful Recovery following Intracerebral Hemorrhage?
In this issue of the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, Vardanyan and colleagues report on the cost-utility of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with thrombolysis for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from the perspective of the United Kingdom (UK) National Health Service (NHS)1 using data from the Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE III) trial2 and the UK Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP).3 The economic evaluation revealed that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for MIS with thrombolysis fell significantly above the UK's Nationa...
