Noninvasive In Vivo Thrombus Imaging in Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
CONCLUSIONS: 18F-GP1 positron emission tomography and computed tomography angiography is a novel noninvasive method of identifying in vivo cerebrovascular thrombosis, which holds major promise in understanding the role and origin of thrombosis in stroke.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALS: gov; Unique identifier: NCT03943966.PMID:37439259 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.122.318204

Improving door-to-reperfusion time in acute ischemic stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic: experience from a public comprehensive stroke center in Brazil
ConclusionAcute stroke care continued to be a priority despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The implementation of a thrombolytic bolus and the start of continuous infusion on the CT scan table was the main factor that contributed to the reduction of DNT. Continuous monitoring of service times is essential for improving the quality of the stroke center and achieving better functional outcomes for patients.

Predictive Ability Of More Than 3-day Pre-atrial Fibrillation Ablation Cardiac Computed Tomography In Detection Of Left Atrial Thrombus
Introduction: Several studies described the diagnostic accuracy of Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) with delayed phase in detection of LA/LAA thrombus. Pre-Atrial fibrillation ablation (AFA) CCT is primarily done for pulmonary vein mapping. CCT performed alone within 72 hours prior to AFA has been suggested to be an alternative to Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) to rule out LAA thrombus in the low-intermediate stroke risk patients.(1) Hounsfield Unit ratio (HU) of> 0.75 between left atrial appendage (LAA) and ascending aorta (AA) has been suggested as reliable indicator of absence of thrombus on CCT(2) However, pre...

Incidental Finding of Arteria Lusoria in COVID-19 Patient with Aortic Thrombus Complicated by Recurrent Limb Ischemia
We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with recent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pneumonia who was admitted to the hospital due to a giant floating thrombus in the ascending aorta with multiple ischemic events. Aortic computed tomography angiogram revealed an aberrant right subclavian artery associated with bicarotid trunk that might have protected carotid arteries from embol migration. Thrombosis is a rare clinical presentation in coronavirus disease 2019 infection but with serious complications that must be kept in mind to detect and avoid morbidities like ischemic stroke. [...] Thieme Medical Publis...

Inflammation May Be the Culprit Behind Our Deadliest Diseases
In the early days of my medical residency, I met a man whom we’ll call Jason. He arrived to our emergency room on a holiday, nonchalant yet amiable, and complained of mild chest pain. Jason was tall and trim, with a strong South Boston accent and fingertips still faintly stained from his last home-improvement project. He was only 45 years old, but he looked much younger. He didn’t smoke, barely drank alcohol, and his cholesterol levels had always been normal. No one in his family had a history of heart disease. He asked us if we could work quickly—he wanted to be home for dinner with his daughters. [time-...

Custom-Made Candy-Plug for Distal False Lumen Occlusion in Aortic Dissection: International Experience
CONCLUSION: This international CP technique experience confirmed its feasibility and low mortality and morbidity. Aortic remodelling and false lumen thrombosis rates were high and support the concept of distal FL occlusion in AD using the CP technique.PMID:36958480 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2023.03.020

Left atrial appendage filling defect in exclusive early-phase scanning of dual-phase cardiac computed tomography: an indicator for elevated thromboembolic risk
CONCLUSIONS: In AF patients, LAAFD-EEpS is not an uncommon finding in dual-phase CCT scanning, and is associated with elevated thromboembolic risk.PMID:36896637 | DOI:10.5603/CJ.a2023.0014
