Acute myocardial infarction complicating ischemic stroke: is there room for cangrelor?
We report two cases of patients with AMI complicating ischemic stroke, successfully treated with cangrelor infusion, which was started during PCI and maintained up to 48 h at bridge therapy dosage (0.75 mcg/kg/min). Both patients underwent successful PCI in the acute phase, and neither ischemic nor hemorrhagic complications occurred during in-hospital stay. PMID: 31066332 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Leukoaraiosis is an independent predictor of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with atrial fibrillation
AbstractWe evaluated the predictive value of several clinical, radiological and laboratory parameters on the risk of predict intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We conducted a case-control study on a consecutive hospital based series of patients with AF and ICH. A random sample of subjects with AF without ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke was selected from the same hospital in the same period to perform as the control group, with a ratio of two controls per case. All patients underwent the same evaluation protocol. Patients without neuroimaging exams were excluded. During the study period ...

Association between fibrinogen and fibrinogen γ’ and atherosclerotic plaque morphology and composition in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis: Plaque-At-RISK study
Von Willebrand Factor (VWF), ADAMTS13, fibrinogen and fibrinogen γ’ are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Carotid atherosclerosis is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Characteristics of the vulnerable plaque; intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), plaque ulceration and lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) can be visualized with imaging techni ques. Since atherosclerosis might attribute to the association between coagulation factors and ischemic stroke risk, the aim of this study is to investigate the association between coagulation factors and atherosclerotic plaque characteristics in more detail.

“Blueprinting” thrombogenicity and antithrombotic drug response at the bedside in patients presenting emergently with symptoms of acute stroke
AbstractEarly assessment of thrombogenicity and antithrombotic drug effects may be important for therapeutic decision making in patients presenting with acute stroke. In this prospective, single center, pilot study, a bedside thrombelastography assay (TEG6s) was used to measure thrombogenicity and antithrombotic drug response in serial patients presenting emergently with symptoms of acute stroke (n  = 90). TEG6s measures were compared against diagnosis obtained by NIH Stroke Scale/Score and imaging. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was diagnosed in 30 patients, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in 19, transient ischemic attack...

Adult and pediatric mechanical circulation: a guide for the hematologist.
Authors: Kreuziger LB, Massicotte MP Abstract Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is the overarching term that encompasses the temporary and durable devices used in patients with severe heart failure. MCS disturbs the hematologic and coagulation system, leading to platelet activation, activation of the contact pathway of coagulation, and acquired von Willebrand syndrome. Ischemic stroke and major hemorrhage occur in up to 30% of patients. Hematologists are an essential part of the MCS team because they understand the delicate balance between bleeding and clotting and alteration of hemostasis with antithrombotic th...

Direct oral anticoagulants in the early phase of non valvular atrial fibrillation-related acute ischemic stroke: focus on real life studies
AbstractStrong evidence for the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the early phase of non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)-related acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is lacking, because this kind of patients were excluded from phase III randomized clinical trials (RCT) and ad hoc RCTs are ongoing. In the latest years a lot of real life studies on this topic have been published. The aim of our review was to focus on these. We reviewed the PubMed databases searching articles reporting on DOACs starting time within 2 weeks from AIS onset. We selected fifteen studies, eight with retrospective, six with prospective observ...

Acute Neurotoxicity during ALL Therapy Is Associated with Treatment Intensity, Age and Female Sex - an Analysis of SAE Reports from the UKALL 2003 Trial
Discussion:This large study identifies treatment intensity as the main risk factor for developing acute neurotoxicity with female sex, age and CNS status having a significant modifying effect. CNS status may reflect increased intrathecal therapy given to non-CNS-1 patients. Females are more vulnerable to cranial radiotherapy induced neurotoxicity but this is the first report of female sex as a risk factor on contemporary chemotherapy treatment protocols. Reassuringly, the occurrence of acute neurotoxicity did not influence survival rates. These data provide an important benchmark for ongoing international deep phenotyping ...

Risk Factors and Manageability of the Mainly Mild Mucocutaneous Bleeding Profile Observed in Attp Patients Treated with Caplacizumab during the Phase III Hercules Study
Conclusions: The safety profile of caplacizumab was favorable. In line with its pharmacology, treatment with caplacizumab was associated with an increased risk of mucocutaneous bleeding. These events were generally mild to moderate, and the majority did not require therapeutic intervention. While the number of patients receiving DOACs was low, no increased risk for bleeding with antithrombotic therapy was observed.DisclosuresCataland: Alexion: Research Funding; Shire: Consultancy; Ablynx: Consultancy, Other: Member of Advisory Board.

Prospective Study of Apixaban for Primary Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients with Multiple Myeloma Receiving Immunomodulatory Therapy
ConclusionsIn this pilot study of 50 patients, low-dose apixaban was safe and well tolerated as thromboprophylaxis for patients with MM receiving IMiDs. No patients experienced VTE, major hemorrhage, stroke, or MI. Further randomized studies are needed to validate apixaban as a standard primary prevention anti-thrombotic strategy for patients with MM receiving IMiDs.DisclosuresMoslehi: Bristol-Myers Squibb: Consultancy, Research Funding.

Replacing PT-INR Monitoring of Warfarin with Fiix-NR in Clinical Practice Reduces Thromboembolism without Increasing Bleeding Despite Reduced Number of Dose Adjustments
Conclusions: These results are in agreement with the results of the Fiix-trial and show that ignoring factor VII during VKA monitoring is safe and leads to reduction in thromboembolism without increasing bleeding. Although TTR was identical in both groups, the dose adjustment need was reduced possibly indicating that less anticoagulation variability in the Fiix-NR group explains reduced thromboembolism.FigureDisclosuresGudmundsdottir: Hart Biologicals Ltd: Consultancy, Patents & Royalties: Hart Biologicals Ltd is commercializing the Fiix-PT which will be ready for marketing in Europe in the beginning of year 2019 and p...

Incidence of Bleeding in Patients with Sickle Cell Disease: A Population Based Study
Conclusion:The findings from our study indicate that SCD patients have a high cumulative incidence of bleeding. While the increased incidence of intracranial, urological, and retinal bleeding has been previously described and are confirmed here, we present the novel finding that SCD patients also have a high incidence of GI bleeding, the majority of which are from an upper GI source. The association of hemorrhagic stroke with a history of ischemic stroke is also confirmed. The association of bleeding with VTE is likely due, at least in part, to anticoagulation. Further studies on the causes and risk factors for GI bleeding...
