Association of multiple infarctions and ICAS with outcomes of minor stroke and TIA
Conclusions: The presence of multiple infarctions and ICAS were both associated with an increased risk of 90-day ischemic stroke in patients with minor stroke or TIA, while the presence of both imaging features had a combined effect. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00979589.

Acute Ischemic Stroke as a Presenting Feature of Multiple Myeloma (P3.279)
Conclusions:Stroke is a leading and preventable cause of disability in the US adult population. The majority of strokes are due to atherosclerotic vascular or cardioembolic disease. Understanding the diagnostic work up of stroke and recognizing rare etiologies like MM is important for stroke prevention. This brings to light the importance of recognizing stroke as an initial presenting feature of multiple myeloma and of multiple myeloma as an important treatable etiology of stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Chung has nothing to disclose.

Dual antiplatelet therapy in stroke and ICAS: Subgroup analysis of CHANCE
Conclusions: The results indicated higher rate of recurrent stroke in minor stroke or high-risk TIA patients with ICAS than in those without. However, there was no significant difference in the response to the 2 antiplatelet therapies between patients with and without ICAS in the CHANCE trial. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that for patients with acute minor stroke or TIA with and without ICAS identified by MRA, clopidogrel plus aspirin is not significantly different than aspirin alone in preventing recurrent stroke.

A Markov model to compare the long-term effect of aspirin, clopidogrel and clopidogrel plus aspirin on prevention of recurrent ischemic stroke due to intracranial artery stenosis
Conclusion: To prevent recurrent stroke in patients with intracranial artery stenosis, especially in those patients with a history of TIA or coronary artery disease, medical therapy with clopidogrel plus aspirin should be considered in preference to aspirin alone.

Predictors and Clinical Impact of Delayed Stent Thrombosis after Thrombectomy for Acute Stroke with Tandem Lesions INTERVENTIONAL
CONCLUSIONS: We observed a non-negligible rate of delayed stent thrombosis with significant negative impact on clinical outcome. Future studies should systematically measure and report stent patency rates.

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

Antithrombotic Therapy.
Authors: Kwon SU, Kim JS Abstract Symptomatic cerebral atherosclerosis including intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is associated with a high risk of recurrent stroke. Antithrombotic agents are the mainstay of therapy in these patients. Several studies have found anticoagulation (warfarin) to increase the risk of bleeding events and have an efficacy no better than that of aspirin. Therefore, anticoagulants are not widely used unless patients develop recurrent ischemic symptoms despite receiving antiplatelet therapy. Because ICAS progression is not uncommon and the risk of stroke recurrence is high when aspirin mon...

E-021 Safety and efficacy of a low dose eptifibatide infusion during endovascular treatment of tandem occlusions
Conclusions The low dose eptifibatide infusion resulted in a low incidence of SICH (5%) in the endovascular treatment of tandem intracranial occlusions. The infusion was not potent enough to maintain patency of the carotid artery in all patients. However, re-occlusion of the carotid artery was asymptomatic in the 4 patients where it occurred. This underscores that extracranial re-occlusion of the carotid artery is the lesser of evils compared with hemorrhagic stroke conversion. Limitations of the study include retrospective data collection, a low incidence of intravenous t-PA use, and lack of independent adjudication of an...

E-248 Postpartum vertebral artery dissections: a report of 7 cases and literature review
ConclusionA limited cohort of 33 ppVADs exist in the literature. This study contributes 7 additional cases and suggests that, despite heterogenous management of ppVAD, the resulting outcomes were favorable.Disclosures V. Lazarov: None. A. Monteiro: None. F.

Efficacy and safety of cilostazol based triple antiplatelet treatment versus dual antiplatelet treatment in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation: an updated meta-analysis of the randomized controlled trials
Abstract The aim of this study was to obtain best estimates of the efficacy and safety of cilostazol-based triple antiplatelet therapy (TAPT: aspirin, clopidogrel and cilostazol) compared with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT: aspirin and clopidogrel) in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation. We searched the literature to identify all randomized clinical trials examining efficacy and safety of TAPT versus DAPT in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation. Major efficacy outcomes were death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke and stent thrombosis (ST) and the safety outcome was bl...

The CYP2C19 genotype does not impact the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease
Conclusion: The risk of cardiovascular events in CAD patients with a homozygous CYP2C19*2 mutation was significantly higher than in other patients within the first year after discharge. However, the adverse impact of the CYP2C19*2 polymorphism was significantly reduced after one year of discharge.Highlights: ► The role of the CYP2C19 gene polymorphism on patients with CAD had been investigated. ► The homozygotes showed a higher cardiovascular risk in the first year of discharge. ► The adverse impact significantly reduced after one year of discharge in homozygotes. ► Dual antiplatelet treatment should be emphasised ...

Prominent features of management strategies in acute coronary syndromes with the new oral antiplatelet agents.
Abstract The novel oral P2Y12 inhibitors (prasugrel and ticagrelor) have been incorporated into the recently updated acute coronary syndrome (ACS) guidelines, as an adjunct antiplatelet treatment to aspirin. The studies involving the use of new oral antiplatelet agents that are more potent, predictable and faster platelet inhibitors than clopidogrel have demonstrated superiority with respect to the primary composite endpoint (cardiovascular death, non-lethal myocardial infarction, stroke) for both prasugrel and ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel. The subgroup analysis of the relevant studies showed that these new ...

Treatment Patterns and Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Treated With Prasugrel or Clopidogrel (from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry SCAAR)
In conclusion, in this real world population of patients who underwent urgent or elective PCI, prasugrel was used mainly in patients with ACS, while it was avoided in patients with characteristics indicating increased bleeding risk. Mortality and bleeding rates were lower with prasugrel than clopidogrel, probably because of patient selection.
