Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism in the Wake of the Clots in Legs Or sTockings after Stroke (CLOTS) Study Brief Reports
Conclusions— Discontinuation of compressive stockings did not increase venous thromboembolism incidence. There was a trend toward more deep vein thrombosis and fewer PEs after CLOTS, which might be because of increased clinical vigilance in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis, but a chance variation cannot be excluded.

Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score to Select Patients for Endovascular Treatment: Interventional Management of Stroke (IMS)-III Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— ASPECTS is a strong predictor of outcome and a predictor of reperfusion. ASPECTS did not identify a subpopulation of subjects that particularly benefitted from endovascular therapy immediately after routine intravenous tPA. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00359424.

Association Between Arterial Calcifications and Nonlacunar and Lacunar Ischemic Strokes Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The only difference we found between nonlacunar and lacunar strokes was a higher calcification volume in the aortic arch in nonlacunar strokes. Our findings only partially confirm the notion of distinct etiologies and suggest that the potential role of other plaque components, plaque morphology, and aortic arch calcifications in ischemic stroke subtypes awaits further evaluation.

Evaluating Middle Cerebral Artery Atherosclerotic Lesions in Acute Ischemic Stroke Using Magnetic Resonance T1-weighted 3-Dimensional Vessel Wall Imaging
Background: Atherosclerotic lesions in intracranial arteries are a leading cause of ischemic stroke. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is often used to assess atherosclerotic changes by detecting luminal narrowing, whereas it cannot directly visualize atherosclerotic lesions. Here, we used a 3-dimensional vessel wall imaging (3D-VWI) technique to evaluate intracranial arterial wall changes in acute stroke.Methods: Eighteen consecutive patients with acute noncardioembolic stroke in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory who were prospectively examined with a 1.5-T magnetic resonance scanner were studied. T1-weighted ...

Factors Associated with Proximal Carotid Axis Occlusion in Patients with Acute Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: Female sex, advanced age, history of systemic embolism, and higher BNP level were independently associated with more proximal carotid axis occlusion. Patients with AF having these factors may be prone to have relatively large thrombi in the heart.

Prevalence of Intracranial Stenosis in a Norwegian Ischemic Stroke Population
Conclusions: IS occurs in approximately 10% and is symptomatic in about 7% of a Norwegian ischemic stroke/TIA population. Diabetes mellitus appears to be the major risk factor for IS.

Six-Minute Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protocol for Evaluation of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Pushing the Boundaries Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A 6-minute multimodal MR protocol with good diagnostic quality is feasible for the evaluation of patients with acute ischemic stroke and can result in significant reduction in scan time rivaling that of the multimodal computed tomographic protocol.

Cervical Arterial Dissections and Association With Cervical Manipulative Therapy: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Scientific Statement
Conclusions— CD is an important cause of ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged patients. CD is most prevalent in the upper cervical spine and can involve the internal carotid artery or vertebral artery. Although current biomechanical evidence is insufficient to establish the claim that CMT causes CD, clinical reports suggest that mechanical forces play a role in a considerable number of CDs and most population controlled studies have found an association between CMT and VAD stroke in young patients. Although the incidence of CMT-associated CD in patients who have previously received CMT is not well established, an...

Effective Mechanical Thrombectomy in a Patient with Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke Associated with Cardiac Myxoma
We describe a patient with hyperacute stroke caused by cardiac myxoma who had a good outcome with rapid recanalization through mechanical thrombectomy. A 46-year-old man was admitted with acute symptoms of right side hemiplegia and global aphasia. Brain computed tomography (CT) angiography showed a T occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was administered. However, his clinical symptoms did not improve. Thus, we performed endovascular treatment and had a successful outcome. A pathologic examination of the retrieved clot revealed a tumor emboli from a cardiac myxo...

Arterial Reocclusion And Distal Embolization During Endovascular Treatment Using New Generation Stent Retrievers In Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients (P4.299)
CONCLUSIONS: Arterial reocclusion and distal embolization occur in 16[percnt]-18[percnt] of acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy with new stent retrievers. The rates are no higher than those observed in cohorts treated without stent retrievers.Disclosure: Dr. Herial has nothing to disclose. Dr. Qureshi has nothing to disclose.

Detection of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Very Young Cryptogenic Ischemic Stroke Patients under 40 Years: A Three Week ECG-Holter Monitoring Study (P7.121)
CONCLUSIONS: PAF was detected in 5 [percnt] of very young CIS patients < 40 years. Long-term ECG-Holter monitoring seems to be beneficial in the detection of PAF also in very young stroke population.

Sulcal Effacement With Preserved Gray-White Junction: A Sign of Reversible Ischemia Brief Reports
Conclusions— Sulcal effacement with preserved gray–white delineation is occasionally visualized in patients with proximal occlusion strokes, relates to robust leptomeningeal collaterals, and indicates preserved underlying parenchyma. ISE should not be used to exclude patients from thrombectomy.

Effect Size Estimates for the ESCAPE Trial: Proportional Odds Regression Versus Other Statistical Methods Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The mRS distribution for both treatment and control groups influences the power of the investigated statistical models to assess treatment efficacy. A careful evaluation of the expected outcome distribution across the mRS scale is required to determine the best choice of primary analysis.

Multi‐modal CT in acute stroke: wait for a serum creatinine before giving intravenous contrast? No!
ConclusionsThe incidence of CIN is low when MMCT is used routinely to assess acute stroke patients. In this population, CIN was a biochemical phenomenon that did not have clinical manifestations, cause chronic kidney disease, require dialysis, or negatively impact on 90‐day mRS outcomes. Renal profiling and waiting for a baseline serum‐creatinine are an unnecessary delay to emergency reperfusion treatment.
