Stroke After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Outcomes in the Continuous-Flow Era.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke while on CF-LVAD support was associated with significant mortality. To reduce the risk of stroke, it is essential to further elucidate risk factors, to optimize anticoagulation, and to further understand the impact of LVAD-related infections.

Stroke rates after carotid artery stenting depend on study-specific definitions.
CONCLUSIONS: Study-specific definitions for minor and major strokes lead to significantly different rates of stroke. Therefore, study-specific definitions should be respected comparing the results of each trial. A standard definition for minor and major stroke should be used in future trials.

Development and Application of a Risk Prediction Model for In-Hospital Stroke After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement - A Report from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: A risk model for in-hospital stroke following TAVR was developed from the STS/ACC TVT Registry and used to estimate site-specific stroke performance. This model can serve as a valuable resource for quality improvement, clinical decision-making, and patient counseling. PMID: 30529671 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Characteristics and anatomic distribution of early vs late stroke after cardiac surgery
ConclusionsEarly and late strokes after cardiac surgery have distinct incidence, location, and likely etiology. Both early and late strokes portend a very high incidence of operative mortality.

Postoperative Blood Urea Nitrogen Is Associated With Stroke in Cardiac Surgical Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: In these analyses, we identified BUN as a marker of heightened postoperative stroke risk after cardiac surgical procedures. Postoperative risk markers may improve assessment of delayed postoperative strokes. PMID: 25683323 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Carotid interventions (CEA and CAS) in acute stroke patients: which procedure on which patient.
Abstract Treatment of carotid bifurcation disease in patients presenting with acute stroke has been a controversial issue over the past four decades. Classically, patients were asked to wait four to six weeks before intervention was entertained in order for the brain to stabilize and the risks of intervention to be minimized. Unfortunately, up to 20% of patients will have a secondary event after their index event and the window of opportunity to save, potentially salvageable ischemic tissue will be missed. Early reports had demonstrated poor results with intervention. However, more recently, institutions such as o...

Neuroanatomy and severity of stroke in patients with type A aortic dissection
ConclusionsStrokes associated with ATAAD are severe at presentation resulting in significant disability. One in 10 strokes is due to LVO and potentially amenable to endovascular treatment. Heterogeneity in both location and etiology of stroke makes prevention challenging. Future trials may evaluate the role of early neuroimaging and simultaneous treatment of stroke given advancements in endovascular therapy.

Outcomes of stroke events during transcatheter aortic valve implantation
CONCLUSIONS: Among Medicare beneficiaries undergoing TAVI, procedure-related ischaemic stroke was associated with worse outcomes, increased Medicare expenditures, and less time spent at home. Procedure-related ischaemic stroke during TAVI remains a critically important and potentially preventable source of patient mortality, morbidity and healthcare utilisation.PMID:35135749 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-21-00951

Left atrial appendage angiography for stroke risk prediction in patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: Impaired mechanical function of the LAA, indicated by a low LAAEF and CR, is associated with a history of stroke in patients with AF. Assessment of CR using LAA angiography helps improve the stratification scheme for stroke risk prediction.PMID:37594402 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00325
