Stroke after implantation of continuous flow left ventricular assist devices
ConclusionThe occurrence of stroke significantly increases morbidity and mortality after LVAD implantation. Despite an adverse impact on survival and quality of life, several patients who suffered stroke still received a heart transplant. Furthermore, none of our patients had recurrence of a neurological event. Strict implementation of anticoagulation protocols is likely the mainstay of preventing this devastating complication.

A review of the complex landscape of stroke in left ventricular assist device trials.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on this review, we propose that future clinical trials: 1) utilize standardized stroke definitions and define stroke subtypes, 2) ensure that neurologists are integrated in study design and event adjudication, 3) include more thorough evaluations of stroke etiology using multimodality techniques, and 4) adopt the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale to define stroke severity.

Early Operation in Patients With Mitral Valve Infective Endocarditis and Acute Stroke Is Safe
Conclusions MV surgery for IE and acute stroke can be performed early with a low risk of postoperative neurologic complications. When indicated, surgical intervention for MV IE complicated by acute stroke should not be delayed.

Stroke After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Outcomes in the Continuous-Flow Era.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke while on CF-LVAD support was associated with significant mortality. To reduce the risk of stroke, it is essential to further elucidate risk factors, to optimize anticoagulation, and to further understand the impact of LVAD-related infections.

Anemia Is a Risk Factor of New Intraoperative Hemorrhagic Stroke During Valve Surgery for Endocarditis.
CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative hemorrhagic stroke was not rare, and ectopic hemorrhagic stroke, associated with preoperative anemia, was more prevalent than hemorrhagic transformation of existing cerebral lesions. PMID: 25979239 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Epidemiology of Stroke in Pediatric Cardiac Surgical Patients Supported With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
CONCLUSIONS: This multicenter analysis demonstrates that pediatric cardiac surgical patients on ECMO are at high risk of stroke; younger or underweight patients and those with longer ECMO duration are at greatest risk, independent of procedural complexity. Future study is necessary to determine how anticoagulation or other clinical practices can be modified to reduce stroke incidence. PMID: 26298170 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Long-Term Outcomes for Patients with Stroke After Coronary and Valve Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative stroke often leads to high mortality and poor long-term outcomes. Patients who experienced a severe stroke and underwent neurosurgical procedures also exhibited poor outcomes. Patients and their families should be informed of relatively high mortality and poor long-term outcomes before neurosurgical operation. PMID: 29501638 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Identifying asymptomatic patients at high-risk for stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Results from ongoing large, multi-centre randomised clinical trials comparing carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting with good medical therapy may be consistent with earlier trials, showing a halving of the long-term risk of stroke following successful carotid revascularisation. However, they may well lack sufficient statistical power to identify higher-risk subgroups in whom the absolute gains of treatment are significantly higher. Large contemporary cohort studies are needed to provide further clarity regarding high-risk features associated with increased long-term stroke risk in asymptomatic pat...
