Unique Clinicopathologic Subclassifiers of Cryptogenic Cerebral Emboli
CONCLUSIONS: Certain clinical and radiographic features may be useful in predicting the proximal source of occult cerebral emboli, and can be used for cost-effective outpatient diagnostic testing.PMID:35279004 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2022.106427

Interaction of cardiac implantable electronic device and patent foramen ovale in ischemic stroke: A case ‐only study
ConclusionAmong admitted ischemic stroke patients, we did not find a higher prevalence of CIED in patients with PFO compared to controls. Therefore, in the underlying source population, the presence of CIED did not increase the PFO ‐associated ischemic stroke risk.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

Isolated asymptomatic pulmonary arteriovenous malformation presenting with ischaemic stroke
Publication date: Available online 17 February 2016 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): Kelly L. Bertram, Anoop Madan, Judith Frayne Young onset stroke is uncommon, and may be due to conditions other than traditional vascular risk factors. A 42-year-old woman with an ischaemic stroke was found to have left atrial bubble study positivity on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) suggestive of patent foramen ovale, however she also had low peripheral oxygen saturation. Investigation revealed an isolated pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM), visible on admission chest radiograph. This can cause embolic ...

Simultaneous onset of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in a patient with atrial fibrillation: Multiple territory injury revealed on angiography and magnetic resonance
An 84-year-old man with a history of hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) who received no anticoagulant drugs experienced acute chest pain and transient loss of consciousness. He was transferred to our emergency room. His initial electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with ST-segment elevation in the I, aVL, and V1–V6 leads. His blood pressure was 158/92mmHg and his pulse was regular at 70beats per minute. A chest radiograph showed increased heart size and pulmonary vascular congestion. His troponin T level was elevated (more than 0.1ng/mL). He was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) and...

Right superior vena cava drainage into the left atrium revealed by multiples strokes after pacemaker implantation
An 84-year-old woman had undergone dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in a primary care hospital for sick sinus syndrome. The leads were inserted through the right subclavian vein because the patient was left-handed. One year later, she suffered from an ischemic stroke. During ventricular pacing, ECG showed a right bundle branch block pattern, and chest radiography (A) suggested that pacing lead tips were in the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle. After transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, it was initially thought that the leads passed through a patent foramen ovale. A thrombus on the ventricular lead was ...
