Adiposity, fat depots and the prediction of stroke
CONCLUSIONS: It was found that age, WC and echocardiographic EFT revealed significant predictive values for stroke. Both WC and EFT showed a very high NPV suggesting that they should be implemented into the clinical practice as a tool affirming a very low risk of stroke.PMID:34708862 | DOI:10.5603/CJ.a2021.0134

Complications of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Stroke in the SWIFT Trial with Solitaire and Merci Devices EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE LEVEL 2
CONCLUSIONS: Understanding of procedural complications is important for treatment of patients with stroke after endovascular treatment. We observed fewer endovascular complications with the Solitaire FR device treatment compared with Merci device treatment, particularly symptomatic cerebral hemorrhage.

The relationship between the pre‐admission CHA2DS2‐VASc score and proximal artery occlusion in patients with acute stroke and atrial fibrillation
ConclusionThe CHA2DS2‐VASc score was associated with PAO in acute ischaemic stroke patients with AF. The CHA2DS2‐VASc score may be correlated with the NIHSS score through the presence of PAO and with poor functional outcome independently of PAO.

Complex interventional treatment in a patient with atrial fibrillation and stroke caused by large carotid artery thrombus: a case report
Conclusion: Emergency carotid embolectomy together with thrombectomy and local thrombolytic rt-PA treatment may be a reasonable rescue therapy for carefully selected patients with large-vessel acute stroke. Further research is needed to establish the advantages and safety of surgical thrombectomy in patients with acute embolic occlusion of the carotid artery and ineffectiveness of or contraindications for systemic thrombolytic treatment.

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in young cryptogenic ischemic stroke: A 3-week ECG Holter monitoring study.
CONCLUSIONS: PAF was detected in 9.5% of young CIS patients and 3-weeks ECG Holter monitoring increased the detection rate. PMID: 25916280 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke of undetermined cause: workup and secondary prevention
Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to update the reader on current concepts of workup and secondary prevention in patients with stroke of undetermined cause. Recent findings: Clinical research in patients with cryptogenic stroke has been hampered by the lack of standardized, widely accepted diagnostic criteria. The new definition of ‘Embolic stroke of undetermined etiology’ postulates an embolic mechanism of ischemic stroke. It is based on the exclusion of lacunar infarction by brain imaging, arterial stenosis more than 50% or dissection of the respective brain-supplying artery by computed tomography/mag...

Midbrain and bilateral paramedian thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion.
CONCLUSION: Bilateral thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion is a rare presentation of stroke, which can be overlooked in routine CT scan. If diagnosed, it requires further evaluation for stroke risk factors, especially cardiovascular disorders associated with increased embolic risk. PMID: 27154444 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Etiologies of internal carotid artery pseudo-occlusions in acute stroke patients: what neurointerventionalists can expect.
Abstract In cases of acute stroke, differentiation between an occluded and a patent internal carotid artery (ICA) is crucial for diagnosis and management. Although computed tomography angiography (CTA) can be highly accurate in defining high-grade stenosis and ICA occlusions, misleading ICA occlusion patterns are not rare in acute stroke patients. We investigated the underlying causes of ICA pseudo-occlusions with CTA with respect to digital subtraction angiography (DSA). 11 out of 72 patients had pseudo-occlusion on CTA. Of these, there were three cases of tandem occlusions accompanying high-grade ICA stenosis, f...

Successful intravenous thrombolysis of a wake-up stroke with underlying valvular atrial fibrillation.
Authors: Shahedah KK, Khoo CS, Wan Nur Nafisah WY, Ng CF, Noor Ashikin I, Mohd Naim MY, Syazarina Sharis O, Rozman Z, Wan Asyraf WZ Abstract A 42-year-old female admitted with new-onset atrial fibrillation had a wake-up stroke on the high-dependency unit and the time last seen well (TLSW) was 6.5 h. She suffered left-sided body weakness and her National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 17. An emergency CT perfusion showed right M1 segment occlusion with more than 50% penumbra. She was given recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) at 9 h from TLSW. An immediate diagnostic angiogram with...

Increased incidence and treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic disease during mechanical thrombectomy is safe, even with an increased number of passes
Conclusion Patients who underwent MT with underlying ICAD had similar rates of favorable outcomes as those without, but required a higher number of device passes.

The association between asymptomatic coronary artery disease and CHADS2 and CHA2DS2‐VASc scores in patients with stroke
ConclusionCHADS2 and CHA2DS2‐VASc scores were predictive of the presence and severity of CAD in patients with stroke. When a patient has high CHADS2 or CHA2DS2‐VASc scores, physicians should consider coronary artery evaluation.

Large artery occlusion diagnosed by computed tomography angiography in acute ischaemic stroke: Frequency, predictive factors, and safety
Conclusions Arterial occlusions are seen in 23.6% of patients, especially in those who are admitted during the first few hours. NIHSS score serves as a useful predictive factor.
