Management of acute ischemic stroke after pulmonary resection: incidence and efficacy of endovascular thrombus aspiration
ConclusionSince cerebral infarction impairs the patient ’s quality of life, thrombus removal should be considered if possible.

Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Among Patients With a Cryptogenic Stroke Linked to Patent Foramen Ovale —A Review of the Literature
Conclusion: VTE can be detected in patients with CS linked to PFO. While –based on the presented literature–routine screening for VTE in patients with CS linked to PFO does not appear justified, history taking, and clinical exam should consider concomitant VTE. Whenever clinically suspected, the threshold to trigger ancillary testing for VTE should be low. Among patients with an acute PE and PFO, vigilance for new neurologic deficits should be increased, with a low threshold for brain imaging.

Patent foramen ovale and stroke in intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
CONCLUSIONS: PFO and related ischemic strokes are frequent in intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism. TEE is much more efficient than TTE for PFO diagnostic. Considering the high risk of intra-cranial bleeding with thrombolysis in PE, which in part may be due to haemorrhagic transformation of sub-clinical strokes, screening PFO with TEE should be considered in intermediate risk PE when a thrombolytic treatment is discussed.

Reversing the effects of the new anti-clotting drugs
The oral anticoagulant warfarin (Coumadin) became available for prescription in 1954. This anti-clotting drug commanded national attention when President Dwight Eisenhower received the drug as part of his treatment following a heart attack. No other oral anticoagulant was successfully developed and marketed in the United States until 2010. Warfarin is a dangerous drug. Along with insulin, it is responsible for the most emergency hospitalizations due to adverse drug reactions. Whereas insulin causes low blood sugar, warfarin is notorious for the complication of major bleeding. Warfarin is plagued by hundreds of drug-drug an...

Pulmonary Embolism in Ischemic Stroke.
Abstract Silent pulmonary embolism (PE) may be associated with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We identified 10 patients from 3,132 unique patients (3,431 CT scans). We retrospectively examined CT angiogram of patients with AIS to determine the frequency of concurrent PE in AIS. The period prevalence of PE was 0.32. Seven patients had concurrent PE, whereas three had PE diagnosed 2 days after their AIS presentation. We suspected paradoxical embolism via patent foramen ovale as the cause of stroke in three patients and thrombophilia in four patients. Seven patients had poor outcome including four deaths. CT angiogram ...

Incidental pulmonary embolism in suspected stroke patients undergoing carotid CT angiography
ConclusionsIPE can occur in suspected stroke patients on carotid CT angiography, and most of them have been previously neglected in clinical practice. Radiologists should check the higher pulmonary arterial vasculature carefully on the contrast-enhanced carotid CTA scans.

HFpEF Is the Substrate for Stroke in Obesity and Diabetes Independent of Atrial Fibrillation
Publication date: Available online 6 November 2019Source: JACC: Heart FailureAuthor(s): Milton PackerAbstractBoth obesity and type 2 diabetes are important risk factors for the development of heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and both disorders increase the risk of systemic thromboembolic events. Traditionally, the risk of stroke has been explained by the strong association of these disorders with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, adiposity and diabetes are risk factors for systemic thromboembolism, even in the absence of AF, because both can lead to the development of an inflammatory and fibrotic ...

Diagnostic Yield of Early Examination for Venous Thrombosis in Patients with Cryptogenic Stroke and a Right-to-left Shunt.

Cryptogenic Stroke Caused by Pulmonary Arterial Venous Malformation with Massive Right-to-Left Shunt: A Case Report
ConclusionsPAVM is an important risk factor for PE and CS and should not be ignored as a possible etiology in stroke patients without any other risk factors. CTA of the pulmonary artery is the recommended gold standard for diagnosing and locating a PAVM. Thrombolytic therapy within the time window combined with transcatheter device occlusion of arteriovenous malformation and rehabilitation training may benefit the recovery of patients with CS caused by PE resulting from PAVM.
