Frequency of Patent Foramen Ovale and Migraine in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—In patients with cryptogenic stroke who have migraine, there is a high prevalence (79%) of PFO with right-to-left shunt. The timing of the stroke in migraineurs is usually not related to a migraine attack. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that the mechanism of stroke in migraineurs is most likely because of a paradoxical embolus. Future cryptogenic stroke classification schemes should consider including PFO as a separate etiologic category.

Pulmonary Embolism in Ischemic Stroke: Clinical Presentation, Risk Factors, and Outcome Stroke
Conclusions In this large cohort study, PE occurred in nearly 1% of AIS patients. PE was more common in patients with severe stroke, history of cancer, previous DVT/PE or acute DVT and associated with lower short- and long-term survival, greater disability, and longer length of stay.

Endoglin Deficiency Impairs Stroke Recovery Basic Sciences
Conclusions— Endoglin deficiency impairs brain injury recovery. Reduced angiogenesis, impaired macrophage homing, and delayed inflammation resolution could be the underlying mechanism.

Targeting aspirin in acute disabling ischemic stroke: an individual patient data meta‐analysis of three large randomized trials
ConclusionsUsing simple clinical variables to target aspirin to patients after acute disabling stroke by risk of thrombosis, haemorrhage or poor functional outcome does not lead to greater net clinical benefit. We suggest future risk stratification schemes include new risk factors for thrombosis and intracranial haemorrhage.

Ischemic Stroke and Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in the General Population: The Tromso Study Epidemiology
ConclusionsThe risk of VTE increased during the first 3 months after an ischemic stroke. The particularly high risk of provoked VTE suggests that additional predisposing factors, such as immobilization, potentiate the VTE risk in patients with ischemic stroke.

Outcomes of Thrombolytic Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Dialysis Dependant Patients in the United States (S02.003)
CONCLUSIONS: The three fold higher odds of in-hospital mortality associated with administration of IV thrombolytics in dialysis dependant patients who present with acute ischemic stroke warrants a careful assessment of risk benefit ratio in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Adil has nothing to disclose.

Venous Thromboembolism in the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Acute Ischemic Stroke Population: Incidence and Patterns of Prophylaxis
Conclusions: Despite a high overall rate of VTE prophylaxis, VTE was found to occur in approximately 3% of GWTG-S patients. Reported rates of VTE prophylaxis differed among hospitals by region and hospital type, and among patients by age, race, and medical comorbidities.

Outcomes of Thrombolytic Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Dialysis-Dependent Patients in the United States

Pulmonary Embolism in a Stroke Patient after Systemic Thrombolysis: Clinical Decisions and Literature Review
We describe a 73-year-old man who arrived at the emergency room within 2 hours of acute onset of left hemiparesis who was treated with rt-PA and suffered a pulmonary embolism 3 days after acute stroke therapy. rt-PA is also a current therapy for pulmonary embolism, but an ischemic stroke in the previous 3 months is an absolute contraindication to thrombolysis because of the high risk of intracranial hemorrhage. We discuss clinical and therapeutic decisions and review the current literature.

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.
