Feasibility and safety of uninterrupted dabigatran therapy in patients undergoing ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Conclusion Uninterrupted dabigatran therapy in CA for AF thus may be a safe and effective anticoagulant therapy, and appears to be closely similar to continuous warfarin; however, it is essential to pay close attention to the APTT values when using dabigatran during CA.

Blood Pressure Management in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Authors: Eguchi K Abstract In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the coexistence of hypertension enhances the cardiovascular risk, and the prevention of future cardiovascular disease is an important component of T2DM management. Antihypertensive therapy has been shown to be an effective method of reducing the micro- and macrovascular complications of T2DM, however, the optimal target blood pressure (BP) levels are still under debate. Most of the international guidelines have raised the target clinic BP from 130/80 to 140/90 mmHg, however, the Japanese Society of Hypertension 2014 guidelines kept the target BP le...

Cerebral Venous Thromboembolism in Antiphospholipid Syndrome Successfully Treated with the Combined Use of an Anti-Xa Inhibitor and Corticosteroid.
Authors: Sugie M, Iizuka N, Shimizu Y, Ichikawa H Abstract We herein report a case presenting with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) associated with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The patient developed recurrent CVST followed by a hemorrhagic ischemic stroke despite the use of warfarin during the appropriate therapeutic window. Thus, we substituted warfarin to rivaroxaban with prednisolone and obtained a good clinical course. In addition to the effect of prednisolone of inhibiting elevated lupus anticoagulants and the recurrence of arterial thrombosis, rivaroxaban may prevent CVST and inhibit hyperc...

Cardiovascular Instability Preceded by Orolingual Angioedema after Alteplase Treatment.
Authors: Kageyama T, Okanoue Y, Takai R, Suenaga T Abstract An 87-year-old man taking antihypertensive medications, including 10 mg enalapril, daily visited our hospital complaining of motor aphasia, dysarthria, and right hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ischemic lesion in the left frontal lobe including the insular cortex and severe stenosis of the left middle cerebral artery. After he received intravenous alteplase infusion, he developed orolingual angioedema followed by transient bradycardia with subsequent hypotension, resulting in the deterioration of his neurological signs and expansion of ...

Functional Outcomes of Decompressive Craniectomy in Patients with Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction and Their Association with Preoperative Thalamus Deformation: An Analysis of 12 Patients.
Conclusion Patients with preoperative thalamus deformation caused by pressure and edema show a poor oral intake and communication abilities after DC, suggesting that preoperative thalamus deformation is a predictor of poor functional outcomes after DC in patients with malignant MCA infarction.

Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome with Transient Splenial Lesions after Delivery.
Authors: Hiraga A, Koide K, Aotsuka Y, Kuwabara S Abstract Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by segmental vasospasm and it is often accompanied by either posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome or stroke. However, other MRI abnormalities have rarely been reported. A 28-year-old woman presented with a thunderclap headache immediately after delivery; MRI showed segmental vasoconstriction and an abnormal signal in the splenium of the corpus callosum. Neuroimaging abnormalities normalized 20 days after the first examination. Only two cases of RCVS with transient splenial lesions...

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome with Extensive Deep White Matter Lesions Including the Temporal Pole.
We report the case of a 55-year-old man with atypical PRES, who had malignant hypertension and renal dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed extensive vasogenic edema in the deep white matter including the temporal pole, as well as in the brainstem and cerebellum. Antihypertensive therapy and hemodialysis contributed to both clinical and radiological improvement. Involvement of the deep white matter including the temporal pole, which is rarely affected in an ischemic stroke, should be recognized as a potential sign of PRES.

Clinical Outcomes in Diabetic Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention during the Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA)-, Bare Metal Stents (BMS)- and Drug-eluting Stents (DES)-eras from 1984 to 2010.
Conclusion The incidence of 3-year cardiovascular events decreased from 1984 to 2010 in patients with diabetes following PCI, despite the higher risk profiles in the DES-era. PMID: 28049984 [PubMed - in process]

Familial Pernicious Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction with a Mitochondrial DNA A3243G Mutation.
We report the case of a mother and two children who shared a mitochondrial DNA A3243G mutation. The mother had diabetes mellitus, neurogenic bladder, bradykinesia, dystonia, and slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia. Her two daughters were diagnosed with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes at adolescence. They all presented with gastrointestinal symptoms at an advanced clinical stage. They were diagnosed with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and they were resistant to therapy. The mother and her youngest daughter died from aspiration pneumonia because of vomiting. The dete...

Comparison of the CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc and R2CHADS2 Scores in Japanese Patients with Non-valvular Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Not Receiving Anticoagulation Therapy.
Conclusion In Japanese patients with PNVAF, the CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and R2CHADS2 scores are all useful for the risk stratification of IS/SE cases. PMID: 28943575 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Vertebral Artery Stump Syndrome: A Case Report.
Authors: Suzuki M, Dembo T, Hara W, Tajima T, Yamashita M, Oji S, Nomura K Abstract Carotid stump syndrome is a well-documented embolic source for ischemic stroke. However, few cases have been reported of a similar condition-termed vertebral artery stump syndrome-which affects the posterior circulation after vertebral artery origin occlusion. We herein report a case of infarction of the right superior cerebellar artery and left posterior inferior cerebellar artery territories due to vertebral artery stump syndrome. In this interesting case, a turbulent flow at the distal side of the vertebral artery occlusion was c...
