Prospective Study Of Acute Ischemic Stroke Sub-Types In A Teritiary Care Hospital In South India (P4.283)
Conclusion: The study contributes to understanding of demographic characteristics, risk factors and stroke-subtype in acute ischemic stroke. Like other studies LVA is the commonest subtype and intra-cranial vessels are commonly involved as in other Asian studies.Disclosure: Dr. Garuda has nothing to disclose.

Vascular Territories of Ischemic Stroke in Associated Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (P1.221)
Conclusions: TC is a reversible cardiomyopathy that has an association with ischemic stroke. This condition can notably be both the cause and effect of stroke. Ischemic stroke of the left middle cerebral artery appears to be the most prevalent. In female patients suffering from middle cerebral artery distribution ischemic stroke and cardiac dysfunction, TC should be considered.Disclosure: Dr. Zia has nothing to disclose.

Characterizing Ischemic Stroke and Hemorrhagic Conversion in Infectious Endocarditis (P6.297)
Conclusions:The incidence of acute ischemic stroke in our population was 70.6%, with a third being silent infarcts. Hemorrhagic conversion occurred in 30% and was associated with cerebral microhemorrhages.Disclosure: Dr. Marquardt has nothing to disclose. Dr. Cho has nothing to disclose.

Prehospital thrombolysis in acute stroke: Results of the PHANTOM-S pilot study
Conclusions: The data suggest that prehospital stroke care in STEMO is feasible. No safety concerns have been raised so far. This new approach using prehospital tPA may be effective in reducing call-to-needle times, but this is currently being scrutinized in a prospective controlled study.

High values of baseline and 24-hour Mean Arterial Pressure are associated with lower chance of early neurological improvement in acute stroke patients treated with thrombolysis (P4.286)
Conclusions:High baseline and 24-hr MAP values are associated with lower chance of achieving ENI after IV thrombolysis. Further studies are needed to better understand whether acute BP dysregulation can influence different clinical courses in the early phase of IV thrombolysis.Disclosure: Dr. Lorenzano has nothing to disclose.

Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry Identifies Occult Atrial Fibrillation After Cryptogenic Stroke (I2-2.002)
CONCLUSIONS:Atrial fibrillation is detected on MCOT in a substantial minority of cryptogenic stroke patients. Age蠅60 and the presence of prior cortical or cerebellar strokes should raise suspicion for occult AF. These data may aid in the selection of patients for prolonged arrhythmia monitoring.Disclosure: Dr. Ingala has nothing to disclose. Dr. Jara has nothing to disclose.

Rapidly improving neurological deficit of stroke; case series in Academic institute, KAUH, Jeddah (P4.283)
Conclusions:Rapidly improving patient represent a challenge to whether tPA should be given. However, the good outcome with thrombolytic therapy observed in our study, will hopfuly support the decision to treat.Study Supported by: nonDisclosure: Dr. khoja has nothing to disclose.

Why are most stroke patients deemed poor candidates for intraaterial therapy? A prospective study (P4.306)
Conclusion: The majority of patients presenting to a large tertiary referral center with AIS due to a large vessel occlusion were found to be poor IA candidates, with more than half excluded for a single reason. Such data addressing the volume and proportion of patients found ineligible for IA therapy in real-world practice can help target efforts to develop new interventional options and improve future clinical trial design.Disclosure: Dr. Damania has nothing to disclose.

A Radiographic Target Sign For Abnormal Vertebral Artery Flow In Stroke Patients With Acute Vestibular Syndrome (I1-5B)
We report percentages for presence of target sign in each group, odds ratio, target sign and lesion laterality, presence of target sign in stroke patients with negative initial DWI MRI, and Kappa for inter-rater reliability. Results: Of the 145 AVS patients with available axial T2 MRI scans, 71 had stroke, and 74 were diagnosed with vestibular neuritis (VN). VA V4 segment hyper-intensity was seen in 42.2[percnt] of stroke patients (30/71), and 8.1[percnt] of patients with VN (6/74). Odds ratio of stroke in patients with a "target sign" was 8.29 (95[percnt] CI 3.18-21.6). With the exception of one stroke patient, all found ...

Cervical Artery Dissections in the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) Stroke Database: A common stroke mechanism? (P5.161)
Conclusion: In this preliminary review, we have identified 26 patients with CAD in the first 6 months of our database collection. Although these results are from a single centre, this incidence of cervical artery dissection is much higher than expected. This analysis is ongoing and we will assess race-ethnicity, presenting features and preceding history of trauma and infection.Disclosure: Dr. Wilson has nothing to disclose.
