Abstract 238: Utilization and Safety of a Heparin Nomogram in Treating Thrombotic Comorbidities in Stroke Patients Poster Session II
CONCLUSION: The heparin stroke nomogram appears safe in that it does not increase risk of ICH. However, therapeutic aPTTs are not reached quickly with less than half of patients therapeutic at 24 hours, nor are they maintained at steady state. This nomogram could be too conservative in cases where clinical situation requires rapid anticoagulation.

Abstract 246: Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome and Spontaneous Hemorrhage are the Most Common Causes of Peripartum Subarachnoid and Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Poster Session II
Conclusions: Etiologies in peripartum SAH and ICH differ from the general population. Aneurysmal bleeds were absent in our case series. Rates of SAH and ICH may be higher in patients who underwent cesarean section. In conclusion, peripartum subarachnoid and intracranial hemorrhages have a different pathophysiologic process than in the general population.

Validation of the San Francisco Syncope Rule in Two Hospital Emergency Departments in an Asian Population
ConclusionsIn this study, SFSR rule had a sensitivity of 94.2%. This suggests caution on the strict application of the rule to all patients presenting with syncope. It should only be used as an aide in clinical decision‐making in this population.

Clinical risk predictors for cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid endarterectomy
Conclusions Independent, prospective monitoring of a large cohort of CEA cases identified a brief time interval between ischaemic symptoms and endarterectomy as the clearest risk factor for CHS.

Transapical aortic valve replacement in extreme-risk patients: outcome, risk factors and mid-term results ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS TA-TAVR in extreme-risk patients carries a moderate risk of hospital mortality. Severe comorbidities and presence of residual paravalvular leakages affect the mid-term survival, whereas surviving patients have an acceptable quality of life without rehospitalizations for cardiac decompensation.

Impact of Telemedicine Implementation in Thrombolytic Use for Acute Ischemic Stroke: The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Telestroke Network Experience
Background: Intravenous thrombolysis is the only therapy for acute ischemic stroke that is approved by the US Food and Drug Association. The use of telemedicine in stroke makes it possible to bring the expertise of academic stroke centers to underserved areas, potentially increasing the quality of stroke care.Methods: All consecutive admissions for stroke were reviewed for 1 year before telemedicine implementation and for variable periods thereafter. A retrospective review identified 2588 admissions for acute stroke between March 2005 and December 2008 at 12 hospitals participating in a telestroke network, including 919 pa...

Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke: Medical, Imaging, Surgical, and Interventional Approaches, 1st Edition
Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke by Bendok et al is an evidence-based, multispecialty review of stroke that will transform the radiologist into a more relevant part of the clinical team. The most striking feature of this book is how thoroughly the authors cite the literature to support the content. Where appropriate, they also refer to management decisions at their institutions. The radiologist who opens this book will find an organized text with superb illustrations that seamlessly blend with the text to improve retention of the material.

Patient Safety and Outcomes after Thrombolysis within a 4.5 Hour Window Via Telestroke Network (P03.179)
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that IV thrombolysis within a 4.5 hour window can be performed safely and effectively through a telemedicine network with outcomes similar to what can be obtained treating patients directly at an academic stroke center.Disclosure: Dr. Suwatcharangkoon has nothing to disclose. Dr. Reynolds has nothing to disclose.

Does Preexisting Antiplatelet Treatment Influence Postthrombolysis Intracranial Hemorrhage in Community‐treated Ischemic Stroke Patients? An Observational Study
ConclusionsThe authors did not find that preexisting antiplatelet use was associated with postthrombolysis ICH or sICH in this cohort of community treated patients. Preexisting tobacco use, younger age, and lower severity were associated with lower odds of sICH. The meta‐analyses demonstrated small, but statistically significant increases in the absolute risk of radiographic ICH and sICH, along with increased odds of sICH in patients with preexisting antiplatelet use.

Acute Kidney Injury Is Associated with Increased Hospital Mortality after Stroke
Conclusions: AKI occurs frequently after stroke and is associated with increased hospital mortality. Additional studies are needed to establish if the association is causal and if measures to prevent AKI would result in decreased mortality.
