Antiphospholipid Syndrome Diagnosed as a Result of the Occurrence of an Ischemic Stroke After a Successful Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation and Continuous Direct Oral Anticoagulants
We report a case of an ischemic stroke after a successful catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) and continuous oral anticoagulation therapy with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), which was the trigger for diagnosing antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). A 68-year-old woman underwent catheter ablation of persistent AF and continued oral anticoagulation with edoxaban at a dose of 30 mg once daily after the ablation procedure. An asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was detected by brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging one month post-ablation. Oral anticoagulation with dabigatran at 110 mg twice daily...

An overlooked cause in a patient with recurrent ischemic stroke: A case report
Rationale: The majority of ischemic strokes are due to cardioembolism, large vessel atherothromboembolism, small vessel occlusive disease, or other unusual mechanisms. In most clinical settings, many strokes without a well-defined etiology requires a thorough diagnostic evaluation, otherwise the underlying cause might be easily overlooked. Here we report on the rare cause of a patient with recurrent stroke. Patient concerns: A 50-year-old female patient had a 4-year history of recurrent acute onset of neurological deficits. Diagnoses: Contrast transcranial Doppler ultrasound detected a typical “curtain” appeara...

The dangerous gamble of heparinization within two weeks of nonoperative traumatic acute subdural hematoma in patients with increased stroke risk: A case series
Conclusion: Heparinization within two weeks of aSDH may cause SDH enlargement resulting in rapidly fatal neurologic deterioration. Further study is needed to more definitively address this issue.

Validation of the 9-Point and 24-Point Hematoma Expansion Prediction Scores and Derivation of the PREDICT A/B Scores Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The 9- and 24-point expansion scores demonstrate acceptable discrimination in an independent multicenter cohort; however, calibration was suboptimal for the 9-point score. The PREDICT A score showed improved discrimination for HE prediction but requires independent validation.

Safety of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients on Novel Oral Anticoagulants (P1.196)
Conclusion: Patients on NOAC undergoing mechanical thrombectomy show a trend towards increased sICH compared to the warfarin group. This may warrant larger studies of safety of mechanical thrombectomy in the presence of NOACs.Disclosure: Dr. Sharma has nothing to disclose. Dr. Atchaneeyasakul has nothing to disclose.

Noncontrast Computed Tomography Hypodensities Predict Poor Outcome in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The presence of noncontract CT hypodensities at baseline independently predicts poor outcome and comes as a useful and widely available addition to our ability to predict ICH patients’ clinical evolution.

Treatment and imaging of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: current perspectives and future directions
ConclusionsCurrently, aggressive medical management remains the standard of care for patients with ICAS. Further research is needed to identify high‐risk subgroups and to develop more effective treatments for ICAS patients. In this comprehensive review, we give an update on treatment options for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis. Also, conventional and novel imaging modalities available for the evaluation of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis will be discussed.

Efficacy and Safety of Direct Oral Factor Xa Inhibitors in 795 Morbidly Obese Patients
Conclusions: Our study is the largest study examining morbidly obese patients on DOACS and provides further evidence of comparable efficacy and safety of the direct oral anti-Xa inhibitors, compared to warfarin, in morbidly obese patients with AF and VTE.DisclosuresKushnir: Janssen: Research Funding.

The Case Files: Unusual Headache
By Al-Hashimi, Siddhartha DO; Leavens, John MD A 23-year-old woman with a history of migraine headaches presented to the emergency department for a different-than-usual headache. She had a six-day history of intermittent headaches. The onset was at rest, and there was no history of trauma.   The headache was located behind her left eye, and it radiated into the posterior portion of her head. She characterized it as being 8/10 in intensity. Bright lights were reported as an exacerbating factor. The headache was associated with nausea and multiple episodes of emesis. She had 10 episodes of vomiting the evening prior to arri...

The effects of vitamin K supplementation and vitamin K antagonists on progression of vascular calcification: ongoing randomized controlled trials
Conclusion Vitamin K deficiency may be a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor in the haemodialysis population. Conversely, vitamin K antagonists may aggravate VC burden in haemodialysis patients. Several ongoing trials may provide an answer to these questions in the near future.
