Early Clinical Improvement in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion is Associated with Central Retinal Artery Recanalization (P4.262)
Conclusions:In our case series, no patient without early recanalization of the CRA had ECI. Further studies are merited to determine the impact of CRA recanalization timing and, furthermore, whether fibrinolytic therapy is associated with improved CRA recanalization rates and long-term visual acuity in CRAO patients.Disclosure: Dr. Alkuwaiti has nothing to disclose.

Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Thrombocytopenia (P4.264)

Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage after IV tPA for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Relative Contraindications to Treatment (P4.267)
Conclusions:12 AIS patients with Class 3 exclusion criteria were treated with IV tPA. Our eight cases of IV tPA in pICH patients adds substantially to the existing literature. In this study, 25% of patients with pICH developed symptomatic ICH after IV tPA. Although the low number of eligible patients limits interpretation of our findings, continued caution when considering IV tPA for AIS patients with pICH may be warranted. More data is needed to clarify the impact these relative contraindications have on the treatment of AIS.Disclosure: Dr. Smith has nothing to disclose. Dr. Alkuwaiti has nothing to disclose.

Intravenous Thrombolysis in Anticoagulated and Thrombocytopenic Ischemic Stroke Patients Does Not Increase the Risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (P4.271)
Conclusions:These data suggest that IV rt-PA can be safely administered in coagulopathic and thrombocytopenic patients. Although rates of sICH and mortality were similar to the NINDS cohort, caution may be needed to identify certain hemorrhagic risk factors. Routine exclusion of anticoagulated or thrombocytopenic patients is not supported and the use of IV rt-PA in these patients may increase the eligibility for acute stroke therapy, particularly at institutions where IA therapy is unavailable.Disclosure: Dr. Barazangi has received personal compensation for activities with Genentech.

Trends in Alteplase Utilization in Louisianas Level III Hospitals (P4.272)
Conclusions:The treatment rate is increasing in Level III hospitals in Louisiana and is higher than the latest national Primary Stroke Center rate. Half of registered patients presented within 4.5hrs of LSN. Documentation of the reason for not getting alteplase improved. The disability associated with perceived minimal deficits is a target for enhanced education in determining eligibility for alteplase.Disclosure: Dr. Navalkele has nothing to disclose.

Intravenous thrombolytic treatment of acute ischemic stroke in patients older and younger than 80 years: experience from one hospital (p4.275)
Conclusions:We found that IV thrombolysis still has benefit in people older than 80 years old but treatment decision should be taken with caution in well selected cases.Study Supported by: Not applicableDisclosure: Dr. Bayona has nothing to disclose.

Risk of Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage and Clinical Outcome after Intravenous Thrombolysis in Posterior Circulation Stroke: Results from the SITS-EAST Registry (P4.276)
Conclusions:In patients treated with IVT, data from SITS-EAST registry showed that localization of stroke in the posterior circulation was associated with better 90-day clinical outcome than in the anterior circulation. Nevertheless, the risk of SICH was only statistically insignificantly lower in PCS versus ACS patients.Disclosure: Dr. Herzig received personal compensation from Boehringer Ingelheim for serving on a scientific advisory board.

Hispanic patients have longer door-to-needle times independent of age, gender and stroke severity (P4.279)
Conclusions:There is a significant delay in DTN times for Hispanic ischemic stroke patients who received tPA with an average of 12 minute delay compared to non-Hispanic White patients. This relationship was independent of age, sex, and stroke severity. We speculate this may be due to language barriers.Disclosure: Dr. Liang has nothing to disclose.

Intrapartum thrombolysis in acute stroke patient (P3.295)
Conclusions:The AHA/ASA guidelines recommend alteplase for moderate to severe strokes in pregnancy provided the benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus and mother. Although, we report successful administration of intravenous alteplase during active labor without any complication to mother and baby, more data is needed to confirm the efficacy and safety in this patient population. A retrospective cohort study of 15 cases of alteplase in pregnancy did not demonstrate any increase in adverse events when compared to the non-pregnant females but none of them were in labor.Disclosure: Dr. Kohli has nothing to disclose....

Endovascular Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke with Distal Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion; A Case Series (P3.300)
Conclusions:Our initial experience suggests that successful recanalization of M2 and M3 occlusion with EVT is feasible and safe. Larger studies would help identifying benefit of EVT in this subset of intracranial occlusions.Disclosure: Dr. Suriya has nothing to disclose. Dr. Quadri has nothing to disclose.

Fetal central nervous system malformations: a ten year review of prenatal consultations at a tertiary care center (P4.150)
Conclusions:Neurodevelopmental outcomes ranged over a wide spectrum. Prenatal counseling includes cautious consideration of parental expectations, available long-term data on neurodevelopment and functional outcomes, limitations of neuroimaging and genetic testing, and critical decision making from both clinicians and families. This study aims to develop a standardized and comprehensive approach for fetal neurologic prognostication for neurodevelopmental outcomes, and for timely decision making in the prenatal and postnatal period.Disclosure: Dr. Agarwal has nothing to disclose.

Post-Stroke Disability at a National Referral Hospital in Tanzania (P3.322)
Conclusions:In this low-resource setting, individuals with stroke face a severe burden of disability and high risk of mortality. The majority of participants experienced severe deficits following stroke, as assessed through NIHSS and mRS. While this study may be limited by referral bias, the high toll of disability among this population suggests that post-stroke disability places a significant burden on Tanzanian families and society.Study Supported by:This abstract was made possible with help from the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), an NIH funded program (P30 AI060354), subgrant to F.
