E-005 Preliminary results of the SUMMIT NZ ischemic stroke trial: MonoPoint(R) embolectomy featuring a novel 088 aspiration catheter and specialized delivery catheter
ConclusionsPreliminary findings suggest that first-line aspiration embolectomy using a novel MonoPoint® system including an 0.088" inner diameter aspiration catheter achieves a high rate of arterial revascularization with an acceptable safety profile. A full report on enrollment and results are to be presented.Disclosures S. Brew: 1; C; Route 92 Medical. 2; C; Route 92 Medical, Microvention. B.

Effects of Enhanced Intracranial Pressure on Blood Pressure and the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index in Rabbits.
CONCLUSION: Increased ICP causes an increase in BP and CAVI, suggesting that enhanced stiffness of the muscular arteries contributes to high BP. Blocking the autonomic nervous system with hexamethonium suppresses the increase in BP and CAVI, indicating that these increases are mediated by activation of the autonomic nervous system.

Commentary: The case for a comprehensive clinical, basic, and translational research strategy to understand, prevent, detect, and treat cerebrovascular injury in Fontan patients
In this issue of the Journal, the Australian and New-Zealand Fontan Registry Research group compares long-term rates of cerebrovascular injury, thrombosis, bleeding, bone mineral density, and quality of life in Fontan patients receiving warfarin and those receiving aspirin.1 Their take-home messages are (1) asymptomatic cerebrovascular injury is a frequent occurrence in Fontan patients, including stroke (39%), microhemorrhage (96%), and white matter injury (86%); (2) warfarin does not seem to protect against the risk of cerebrovascular injury when compared with aspirin; and (3) warfarin is associated with a greater risk of...

Left ventricular thrombus after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: a single-centre observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of LV thrombus following STEMI was low and it was associated with a low rate of stroke and systemic embolism but high mortality. Randomised studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of NOAC's in this context. PMID: 33332339 [PubMed - in process]

Effect of clopidogrel in bone healing-experimental study in rabbits.
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that maintenance of perioperative clopidogrel treatment does not negatively affect bone healing but rather promotes it. Further research is needed in order to find useful applications of this finding. PMID: 31908992 [PubMed]

Iron nanoparticle contrast enhanced microwave imaging for emergent stroke: A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Joseph S. Hudson, Timothy K. Chung, Benjamin S. Prout, Yasunori Nagahama, Madhavan L. Raghavan, David M. HasanAbstractEmergent stroke is mostly evaluated using hospital based imaging. Quick imaging allows for rapid administration of IV thrombolysis and outcome improvement. Microwave imaging (MI) is an emerging portable imaging modality. Iron oxide nanoparticles are known to interact with microwave frequency electromagnetic radiation. In this manuscript, we provide proof of concept for a novel iron oxide nanoparticle enhance...
