Predictive value of ankle-brachial index for long-term events of ischemic stroke in hemodialysis patients.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that ankle-brachial index is an impressive predictor of future ischemic stroke among hemodialysis patients. PMID: 32611282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Composite Dialysis, Paralysis, Stroke, or Mortality After Endovascular Aortic Interventions in the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm life-altering events, which include a combination of permanent dialysis, permanent spinal cord ischemia, stroke, and/or death, have devastating effects after complex endovascular repair. However, the occurrence of these life-altering events after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has not been studied. Therefore, we examined the effects of procedural and anatomic characteristics on a composite outcome of postoperative dialysis, stroke, paralysis, and/or mortality after any endovascular aortic repair.

Atypical presentation of fistula dysfunction due to brachial arterial embolization mimicking stroke
In this report, failure to recognize the upper limb ischemia would have led to delayed treatment, potentially resulting in the fistula's complete thrombosis and further limb ischemia. We highlight the importance of a diagnosis method like Doppler ultrasound, which allows for rapid evaluation at the patient's bedside.PMID:35000475 | DOI:10.1177/11297298211067686

Patients at elevated risk of major adverse events following endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis
Conclusions A high-risk subset of patients undergoing CEA for asymptomatic carotid stenosis can be identified. If patient selection is optimized and perioperative morbidity and mortality are minimized, CEA will continue to play an important role in stroke prevention for those with significant asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

A contemporary evaluation of carotid endarterectomy outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease in the United States.
Conclusions Patients with ESRD undergoing CEA had an increased risk of respiratory and septic complications, but not a higher risk of stroke compared to patients with normal renal function. The greatest risks of postoperative stroke, respiratory, and cardiac complications were found in patients with CKD. A diagnosis of ESRD and CKD were both found to significantly increase hospital mortality, length of stay and cost. Where clinicians typically consider ESRD patients the highest risk for CEA, further consideration should be given to patients with CKD not yet on dialysis as they had the higher risk of cardiac complications a...

Mechanical versus bioprosthetic valves in chronic dialysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Mechanical valves were associated with reduced mortality, but increased rate of bleeding and stroke. Given very low certainty for evidence of mortality and stroke outcomes, patients and clinicians may choose prosthetic valves based on factors such as bleeding risk and valve longevity.STUDY REGISTRATION: PROSPERO no.
