Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke-Specific Focus on Anesthetic Management for Mechanical Thrombectomy.
Abstract Acute ischemic stroke is a neurological emergency with a high likelihood of morbidity, mortality, and long-term disability. Modern stroke care involves multidisciplinary management by neurologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, and anesthesiologists. Current American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) guidelines recommend thrombolytic therapy with intravenous (IV) alteplase within the first 3-4.5 hours of initial stroke symptoms and endovascular mechanical thrombectomy within the first 16-24 hours depending on specific inclusion criteria. The anesthesia and critical care provider may b...

Assessment of acute stroke cerebral CT examinations by anaesthesiologists
ConclusionsThis study suggests that anaesthesiologists who are experienced in pre‐hospital care may be quickly trained to assess cerebral CT examinations in acute stroke patients with regard to radiological contraindications for thrombolytic therapy.

Eagle Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Stroke in a Young Patient
We report the case of a 26-year-old man who presented to the emergency department because he noticed that his right hand had become clumsy. He first noticed this symptom five days before his presentation, but he noticed that his symptom had improved significantly since it began. He reported that he had episodes of neck pain and pain around the ear. He visited the family physician clinic several times for this complaint and was diagnosed as having a temporomandibular joint disorder. Neurological examination revealed decreased muscle strength in the right upper limb with a power of 4/5 along with a sensory deficit. The coord...

Stroke After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incidence, Definitions, Etiologies and Management Options
Neurologic complications after transcatheter aortic valve replacement are devastating. The etiologies of stroke in this setting are best addressed in an integrated fashion during each phase of the perioperative pathway. The conduct of this triphasic approach will continue to be refined to reduce the stroke risks even further, given the major focus on aspects such as embolic protection devices and valve thrombosis. This neurologic focus in transcatheter aortic valve replacement has transformed the investigational approach to neurologic events in cardiovascular clinical trials, resulting in novel guidelines for the diagnosis...

Anesthesiological management in endovascular stroke treatment.
Abstract Early recanalization of the closed cerebral arteries after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the only treatment to minimize long-term disability and to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality. For a long time the only proven causal treatment of AIS was intravenous thrombolysis; however, after the publication of a series of randomized prospective studies concerning endovascular mechanical thrombectomy using stent retriever systems after AIS, new guidelines were published. It was found that endovascular treatment (EVT) dramatically improves the outcome of eligible patients. The stent retriever enables ...

Code Stroke After Cardiac Surgery: Can We Make a Difference?
IN AN editorial in the Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Anesthesia, Kashani et al. reported their systematic review on intraarterial thrombolytic (IAT) and endovascular mechanical treatment (EMT) for stroke after cardiac surgery.1 Unfortunately, few conclusions about the efficacy of either approach could be drawn because of the sparsity of data —a total of 33 patients were reported in case series or case reports. Complete reperfusion was possible in 26% of the IAT group, with 42% of patients also receiving EMT due to poor initial results.

Left ventricular chordae tendinae myxoma causing stroke: A rare finding
Ann Card Anaesth. 2022 Jul-Sep;25(3):346-348. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_19_21.ABSTRACTA 52-year-old woman presented with dysarthria and right-sided weakness in her upper and lower extremities prompting thrombolytic therapy with mild resolution of symptoms. Further work-up revealed (the source) a left ventricular myxoma on the chordae tendinae of the posterior medial papillary muscle, confirmed with transesophageal echocardiography and pathology. Herein, we present a rare case of embolic stroke from a myxoma originating on the chordae tendinae. To the best of our knowledge, the literature on the location and presentation of this...
