Outcome of 312 Japanese Patients with Carotid Endarterectomy and Factors Associated with Cardiovascular Events—A Single-center Study in Japan
Background: There have only been a few reports regarding the outcomes and risk factors after CEA. To clarify the factors associated with outcome in patients with carotid stenosis who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA), we investigated cardiovascular events and mortality in the Kyushu Medical Center in Japan.Methods: We consecutively registered patients with significant carotid stenosis who had CEA performed over 10 years and compared the incidences of stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. On admission, we evaluated medical records for stroke risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterol...

CHADS2- and CHA2DS2VASc Scores and Embolic Risk in Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation/Noncompaction
Background: Left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) is associated with stroke or embolism (S/E). The aim of this study was to assess if the Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age>75 years, Diabetes, and Stroke (CHADS2) and CHA2DS2VASc scores are different between LVHT-patients with and without stroke/embolism.Methods: Records of LVHT patients were retrospectively screened. For stroke classification, the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria were applied, for peripheral embolism angiographic findings. Baseline data were compared between patients with and without S/E.Results: In ...

Long-term Prognosis of Patients Presenting First-ever Vestibular Symptoms in a Community-based Study
Conclusions: First-ever-in-lifetime VSs are common in patients with FNS and may represent a good opportunity for preventing a serious vascular event, particularly in patients with vascular comorbidity (silent infarctions and VRFs).

Pregnancy-associated Intracranial Hemorrhage: Results of a Survey of Neurosurgical Institutes across Japan
Conclusion: Pregnancy-associated hemorrhagic strokes frequently concealed baseline CVDs, especially when they occurred before the 32nd week of gestation. AVMs were the predominant bleeding source. For appropriate treatment, therefore, close examination for cerebral vascular lesions is essential when a pregnancy-associated hemorrhagic stroke is encountered.

Intracranial Arterial Stenosis
Intracranial arterial stenosis (IAS) is usually attributable to atherosclerosis and corresponds to the most common cause of stroke worldwide. It is very prevalent among African, Asian, and Hispanic populations. Advancing age, systolic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome are some of its major risk factors. IAS may be associated with transient or definite neurological symptoms or can be clinically asymptomatic. Transcranial Doppler and magnetic resonance angiography are the most frequently used ancillary examinations for screening and follow-up. Computed...

Early Clinical Signs, Lesion Localization, and Prognostic Factors in Unilateral Symptomatic Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion
Conclusions: In unilateral symptomatic intracranial carotid artery occlusion, poor prognosis and high mortality–associated territorial stroke pattern is frequently observed. Besides, presence of severe stenosis or occlusion and absence of collateral circulation in MCA are associated with poor prognosis.

Infarction in the Anterior Choroidal Artery Territory: Clinical Progression and Prognosis Factors
This study was undertaken to describe the still poorly known evolving profile of anterior choroidal artery (AChA) infarctions, identify their prognosis factors, and evaluate responses to intravenous (IV) thrombolysis. During 42 months, we prospectively enrolled patients with an isolated AChA stroke. Clinical and radiologic parameters were compared between patients with or without progression, defined as any clinical worsening. Factors associated with poor outcome (dependence or death) were tested, and IV thrombolysis responses were assessed. For the 100 of 1234 (8.1%) analyzed patients with AChA stroke (predominantly lacu...

Endovascular thrombectomy in a patient with acute left internal carotid artery occlusion receiving rivaroxaban
The 78-year-old female patient came to our emergency department (ED) due to acute consciousness disturbance, global aphasia and right-sided weakness onset within 3 hours. She had hypertension, persistent non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated with rivaroxaban 10 mg/day, and previous stroke with sequela of left-sided paralysis. Her pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was 2. NIHSS score was 32 at ED, partially contributed by previous stroke. And her creatinine clearance was 50 ml/min, international normalized ratio (INR) was 2.38.

Large Amount of Cannabis Ingestion Resulting in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Case Report
Although multiple cases of cannabis-associated ischemic stroke have been reported, there are only 2 reported cases of hemorrhagic stroke with an associated cerebral vasoconstriction. To our knowledge, we present the first case of basal ganglia hemorrhage after a large-volume oral ingestion of cannabis without other identified risk factors. In our case, cerebral digital subtraction angiography within 24 hours of presentation did not reveal vasoconstriction leading to a possible alternative explanation for hemorrhagic stroke, including cannabis-induced transient arterial hypertension and autoregulation disruption.

Triggering factors in non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), caused by a rupture of a brain artery into brain parenchyma, is the second most common form of stroke after ischemic stroke.1 Approximately 40% of the patients die within one month, and many remain with major disabilities.2 There is no effective medical or surgical treatment option, and those in clinical use are mainly supportive in nature, even though management in dedicated stroke units will likely reduce mortality and morbidity.3 Several chronic risk factors such as hypertension, older age, and high alcohol consumption have been shown to associate with ICH.

Recurrent Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Patients With Hypertension is Associated With APOE Gene Polymorphism: A Preliminary Study
This study evaluates the roles of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and α-1 antichymotrypsin (ACT) genes in patients with recurrent hypertensive ICH and compares patients with nonrecurring hypertensive ICH and normal controls.Methods: Thirty-three recurrent and 101 nonrecurrent patients with hypertension and ICH were included. The demographic, stroke risk factors, and computed tomographic or magnetic resonance imaging findings were recorded. Magnetic resonance angiography or digital subtraction angiography and vasculitic profile were done in recurrent group to exclude secondary causes of ICH. APOE and ACT gene polymorphisms were as...

Cerebral Hemorrhage in a Paucisymptomatic Young Patient with Fabry Disease
Fabry disease is an inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal exoglycohydrolase α-galactosidase A. It has an X-linked inheritance and occurs in all ethnic groups, with an incidence of 1 in 40,000 in the general population. The incidence of cerebrovascular accidents in patients affected by Fabry disease is much higher than in the general population. Moreover, there is a greater prevalence of hypertension, cardiac disease, and renal disease in patients affected by Fabry disease that have suffered a stroke. Here we present the case of a paucisymptomatic young man affected by F...
