Acute Reperfusion Therapy and Stroke Care in Asia After Successful Endovascular Trials Understanding and Applying the Endovascular Trials
The current status of and prospects for acute stroke care in Asia in the situation where both intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapies have been recognized as established strategies for acute stroke are reviewed. Of 15 million people annually having stroke worldwide, 9 million are Asians. The burdens of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes are severe in Asia. The unique features of stroke in Asia include susceptibility to intracranial atherosclerosis, high prevalence of intracerebral hemorrhage, effects of dietary and lifestyle habits, and several disorders with genetic causes. These features affect acute strok...

Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa inhibitors for acute ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The available trial evidence showed that, for individuals with acute ischaemic stroke, GP IIb-IIIa inhibitors are associated with a significant risk of intracranial haemorrhage with no evidence of any reduction in death or disability in survivors. These data do not support their routine use in clinical practice. The conclusion is driven by trials of Abciximab, which contributed 89% of the total number of study participants considered.

Dual antiplatelet therapy after noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack: pros and cons.
Authors: Hong KS Abstract Dual antiplatelet therapy simultaneously blocks different platelet activation pathways and might thus be more potent at inhibiting platelet activation and more effective at reducing major ischemic vascular events compared to antiplatelet monotherapy. Aspirin plus clopidogrel dual therapy is now the standard therapy for patients with acute coronary syndrome and for those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, dual antiplatelet therapy carries an increased risk of bleeding. Patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) are generally older and likely to hav...

Safety of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack and acute coronary syndrome
Conclusions The primary and secondary end points were not enhanced in patients undergoing PCI. Therefore PCI is safe in patients with stroke/TIA and concomitant ACS.

Combination Therapy with Dipyridamole and Clopidogrel for Secondary Stroke Prevention in Aspirin-Intolerant Patients After Myocardial Infarction: Results of a Nationwide Case-Control Study
ConclusionNo differences were observed in the 12-year survival rate between clopidogrel and clopidogrel –dipyridamole groups. The two groups had balanced event-free survival in recurrent stroke, ICH, GI bleeding, and myocardial infarction.

Reperfusion therapy of acute ischaemic stroke and acute myocardial infarction: similarities and differences
The evolution of reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction and acute ischaemic stroke has many similarities: thrombolysis is superior to placebo, intra-arterial thrombolysis is not superior to intravenous (i.v.), facilitated intervention is of questionable value, and direct mechanical recanalization without thrombolysis is proven (myocardial infarction) or promising (stroke) to be superior to thrombolysis—but only when started with no or minimal delay. However, there are also substantial differences. Direct catheter-based thrombectomy in acute ischaemic stroke is more difficult than primary angioplasty (in S...

Direct oral anticoagulants in the secondary prevention of stroke and transient ischemic attack in patients with atrial fibrillation
Abstract In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke, the rate of vascular events is higher in comparison to patients without history of stroke or TIA. A meta-analysis of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) studies, including only patients with history of stroke or TIA, report a significant reduction of 15 % in the rates of composite of stroke and systemic embolism in patients treated with DOACs, compared to those treated with warfarin. Furthermore, a reduction of 14 % for major bleeding, as well as a 56 % reduction for hemorrhagic stroke over...

P005/44 Using the pEGASUS-stent with antithrombogenic properties and single antiplatelet therapy in a case of thrombectomy
IntroductionRescue stenting is used more and more in stroke cases with large-vessel-occlusion or medium-vessel-occlusion refractory to mechanical thrombectomy. The pEGASUS-stent(Phenox) represents a device which is equipped with a hydrophilic polymer coating(HPC) with antithrombogenic properties. The coating allows for implantation under single antiplatelet therapy, thus possibly reducing the risk of bleeding in acute stroke cases.Case HistoryA 79-year-old woman was rushed to emergency room due to left-sided hemiparesis and National-Institutes-of-Health-Stroke-Scale(NIHSS) of 14. Computed-tomography-image showed an occlusi...

Review of an article: Protamine does not increase risk of stroke in patients with elective carotid stenting by Jennifer S. McDonald, PhD; David F. Kallmes, MD; Giuseppe Lanzino, MD; Harry J. Cloft, MD, PhD (Stroke 2013;44:2028-30)
The use of the heparin antagonist protamine after percutaneous intervention for carotid stenosis has been a topic of discussion in the literature as the safety of protamine after carotid angioplasty and stenting procedures has been called into question. Protamine sulfate is a cationic protein that binds with heparin to reverse the anticoagulant activity of unfractionated heparin. It is administered to reduce access site bleeding complications after femoral sheath removal, but its use must be balanced with the standard preprocedural anticoagulation undertaken to prevent thromboembolic complications. The purpose of this stu...

Cerebrovascular Events After a Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Strategy for Acute ST-Segment- Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Analysis From the HORIZONS-AMI Trial Coronary Interventions
Conclusions— In HORIZONS-AMI, cerebrovascular events within 3 years after ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction in patients undergoing a primary percutaneous coronary intervention management strategy occurred in 2.0% of patients and were most frequent after coronary artery bypass grafting. Cerebrovascular events were often disabling and were strongly associated with high rates of death, reinfarction, recurrent ischemia, and major bleeding.

Successful drug-coated balloon angioplasty and single anti-platelet therapy to treat an ischaemic stroke patient with haemorrhage and acute coronary syndrome.
Abstract A 55-year-old male presented with two challenging problems, i.e. acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and a major bleeding episode. He first presented with ischaemic stroke and was treated with thrombolysis. However this was complicated by haemorrhagic transformation. He subsequently developed ACS with urgent coronary angiography demonstrating a critical stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was deemed necessary but we were mindful of causing bleeding complications from the use of anti-thrombotic therapy. Despite the complexities, we used a novel appro...
