Numerical study of the effect of LVAD inflow cannula positioning on thrombosis risk
In this study, a fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulation was conducted to evaluate the hemodynamics of a patient specific left ventricle (LV) with varying LVAD IC orientations. The LV model was obtained from computed tomography scans and modeled to have contraction and relaxation during cardiac cycles following available experimental data of LV volume changes. The LV of the patient was assumed to have an end systolic volume of 223.7 mL and a stroke volume of 46.4 mL. Four different IC positions were considered: towards the (1) septum; (2) aortic valve (AV); (3) mitral valve (MV) and (4) inferior wall (IW). The potenti...

No Association Between Thrombus Perviousness and Cardioembolic Stroke Etiology in Basilar Artery Occlusion Stroke
Conclusion: In contrast to proximal middle cerebral artery occlusions, TP in BAO patients is not associated with cardioembolic stroke etiology. Larger confirmatory studies to establish the potential role of TP for clinical applications should focus on patients with anterior circulation stroke.

EP59 Successful mechanical thrombectomy after microsurgical clipping of a ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm
We report about a 62 year old woman who was brought to the emergency room after being found down at home. On admission she was somnolent but accessible with mild focal neurological deficits. A computed tomography of the brain revealed a right temporal hematoma with subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage due to a ruptured saccular aneurysm of the MCA trifurcation. A surgical approach was considered best treatment option and microsurgical clipping was performed. Intraoperative microvascular Doppler depicted a spontaneous thrombus formation in M1-Segment and the patient was transferred to the angio-suite for a mechanica...

Statin Therapy in HIGH-Risk Individuals with NORMal Coronary Arteries: The HIGH-NORM Study
CONCLUSIONS: Statin use was not associated with cardiovascular risk reduction in high-risk persons with normal or near normal coronary arteries. More individualised lipid-lowering therapy may benefit this population.PMID:34334544 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63004
