Does Prior Use of Beta Blockers Affect Functional Outcomes Post Ischemic Stroke Endovascular Intervention? (P5.296)
Conclusions:Prior use of beta blockers did not lead to better functional outcomes (MRS ≤2) in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing EVI. Findings should be further confirmed in larger population.Disclosure: Dr. Albadareen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gronseth has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Neurology. Dr. Gronseth has received research support from the American Academy of Neurology. Dr. Mittal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sharrock has nothing to disclose. Dr. Keshary has nothing to disclose.

Practice advisory: Recurrent stroke with patent foramen ovale (update of practice parameter): Report of the Guideline Development, Dissemination, and Implementation Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology
Conclusions: Percutaneous PFO closure with the STARFlex device possibly does not provide a benefit in preventing stroke vs medical therapy alone (risk difference [RD] 0.13%, 95% confidence interval [CI] –2.2% to 2.0%). Percutaneous PFO closure with the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder possibly decreases the risk of recurrent stroke (RD –1.68%, 95% CI –3.18% to –0.19%), possibly increases the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) (RD 1.64%, 95% CI 0.07%–3.2%), and is highly likely to be associated with a procedural complication risk of 3.4% (95% CI 2.3%–5%). There is insufficient evidence to d...
