Is intravenous thrombolysis safe for acute ischemic stroke patients taking warfarin with INR 1.9?: A case report
Conclusion: The clinical guidelines are still the main reference for guiding clinical practice, and the main thrombolytic standards and contraindications for treatment still need to be conformed. On this basis, for individualized patients, clinicians must accurately judge the cause of acute stroke, to make optimal choice, reduce disability and mortality, and improve quality of life of patients.

Ischemic Stroke Caused by Carotid Stump at the Common Carotid Artery.
Authors: Hashimoto G, Wada S, Morita T, Tomohara S, Hara K, Kumabe M, Matsushima T, Kadowaki M, Hamaguchi M, Kuwashiro T, Yasaka M, Okada Y Abstract An 84-year-old man developed motor aphasia and right hemiparesis on postoperative day 1 after orchiectomy for suspected malignant lymphoma. He had a history of thoracic endovascular aortic repair for aortic aneurysm using a bypass graft from the right subclavian artery to the left common carotid artery (CCA); however, the graft had become occluded six months later. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute cerebral infarctions in the left frontal lobe. Carotid ul...

Efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase for treating acute ischemic stroke at different time windows: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: This study will provide an evidence-based basis for the clinical efficacy of alteplase for treating AIS by thrombolytic therapy at different time windows. Ethics and dissemination: Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval was not required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences. OSF Registration number: DOI 10.17605 / OSF.IO / K7PHB

Stroke Prevention in Very Elderly Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Revisited
Stroke prevention is the cornerstone in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Oral anticoagulation (OAC) has been the main strategy to reduce the risk of thromboembolism in most AF patients.1 However, its effective use is hampered by several challenges, including the attended bleeding risk, noncompliance, and cost.2 Elderly patients are further disadvantaged with additional factors that may limit the use of OAC, such as frailty, polypharmacy, and functional dependence.3 In addition, there are limited data to guide stroke prevention decisions in these patients; octogenarians are typically excluded from c...

Tumor Cells Detected in Retrieved Thrombus: A Case of Cancer-associated Stroke
Intern Med. 2021 Mar 8. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.6201-20. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 51-year-old man with a history of renal cell carcinoma presented with sudden aphasia, right hemiparesis, and dysesthesia. MRA showed left middle cerebral artery occlusion, and he was diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and endovascular thrombectomy. The pathological diagnosis of the retrieved thrombus was consistent with the already-known pathological findings of the primary renal cell carcinoma. Therefore, a diagnosis of cerebral embolism caused by tumor cell...

Efficacy and safety of rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis in patients with wake-up stroke: A meta-analysis
Background : Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is one of the most effective therapies for patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, wake-up stroke (WUS) is typically excluded from intravenous thrombolytic therapy because of the unclear time of symptom onset. Therefore, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis in patients with WUS by meta-analysis. Methods : We completed a systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and SinoMed and included relevant studies of WUS patients covering rt-PA thrombolysis and nonthrombolysis (published fr...

Stroke severity modified the effect of chronic atrial fibrillation on the outcome of thrombolytic therapy
This study was designed to identify high-risk patients with chronic AF who had undergone thrombolysis treatment and to explore whether the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) could be used to distinguish poor clinical outcomes in thrombolyzed patients.

Stroke: causes and clinical features
Stroke is a clinically defined syndrome of acute, focal neurological deficit attributed to vascular injury (infarction, haemorrhage) of the central nervous system. It is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke is not a single disease but is caused by a wide range of risk factors, disease processes and mechanisms. Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor, although its contribution differs for different subtypes. Most (85%) strokes are ischaemic, predominantly caused by small vessel arteriolosclerosis, cardioembolism and large artery athero-thromboembolism.

Stent placement ‘effective alternative to IVT in stroke patients’
In stroke patients in whom intravenous thrombolysis is either contraindicated or has failed, intra-arterial revascularization with cerebral angioplasty and stent placement is an effective and well-tolerated treatment, say Czech researchers.
