Cancer-related multiple brain infarctions caused by Trousseau syndrome in a patient with metastatic colon cancer: a case report.
Abstract Thromboembolism that occurs in association with a malignant tumor is known as Trousseau syndrome. We herein present a case of Trousseau syndrome during systemic chemotherapy for metastatic colon cancer. A 65-year-old man with multiple liver metastases underwent primary tumor resection and systemic chemotherapy. Multiple brain infarctions were detected by magnetic resonance imaging immediately after first-line chemotherapy, which was deemed ineffective. There was no evidence of cardioembolic stroke or carotid atherosclerosis. Although the patient was initially asymptomatic, he subsequently developed paraly...

Combined Use of Export Catheter and Penumbra Vacuum Thromboaspiration in a Challenging Case of Acute Common Carotid Artery Occlusion
A 76-year-old hypertensive man with previous bilateral iliac stenting was admitted in our center for acute stroke with an NIH score of 20 at 6h from symptoms onset. A Doppler ultrasonography scan revealed a thrombotic occlusion the right common carotid artery: plaque appearance was hypercalficic with a huge thrombus burden. A diffusion cerebral magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a two focal hyperacute ischemic lesions in the right semioval region (Fig. 1, panel A, red stars). A Neuron Max 6F (Penumbra Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) long sheath was advanced through the femoral artery approach over a .035″ Supracor guide wir...

Incremental Value of Live/Real Time Three‐Dimensional over Two‐Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography in the Assessment of Atrial Septal Pouch
In conclusion, this retrospective study highlights the incremental value of 3DTEE over 2DTEE in the comprehensive assessment and characterization of ASPs, which can aid in the clarification of their role in cryptogenic stroke patients.

Fibrotic Atrial Cardiomyopathy, Atrial Fibrillation, and Thromboembolism Mechanistic Links and Clinical Inferences
The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with ischemic stroke has long been recognized; yet, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying this relationship are incompletely understood. Clinical schemas, such as the CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke/transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, sex category) score, incompletely account for thromboembolic risk, and emerging evidence suggests that stroke can occur in patients with AF even after sinus rhythm is restored. Atrial fibrosis correlates with both the persistence and burden of AF, and gadol...

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: Update on Diagnosis and Management
Abstract Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is less frequent than ischemic stroke or intracerebral haemorrhage. Its incidence is comparable to that of acute bacterial meningitis in adults. Because of the increased use of magnetic resonance imaging (MR) for investigating patients with acute and subacute headaches and new onset seizures, CVT are now being diagnosed with increasing frequency. CVT have a more varied clinical presentation than other stroke types as they rarely present as a stroke syndrome. Their most frequent presentations are isolated headache, intracranial hypertension syndrome, seizures, a focal loba...

Finding atrial fibrillation in stroke patients: Randomized evaluation of enhanced and prolonged Holter monitoring—Find-AFRANDOMISED —rationale and design
Background: Detecting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischemic strokes presenting in sinus rhythm is challenging because episodes are often short, occur randomly, and are frequently asymptomatic. If AF is detected, recurrent thromboembolism can be prevented efficiently by oral anticoagulation. Numerous uncontrolled studies using various electrocardiogram (ECG) devices have established that prolonged ECG monitoring increases the yield of AF detection, but most established procedures are time-consuming and costly. The few randomized trials are mostly limited to cryptogenic strokes. The optimal method, du...

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...

Isolated noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium and intraventricular thrombosis detected by magnetic resonance imaging
A 67-year-old asymptomatic woman who had a history of suspect myocarditis at the age of 37 and a history of minor stroke two years ago, presented for a routinary evaluation. Physical examination revealed no abnormal findings. ECG showed sinus rhythm, left ventricular hypertrophy, and ST changes in anterior leads. Both treadmill exercise testing and 24-hour Holter monitoring excluded ventricular or supraventricular arrhythmias and a normal exercise capacity was assessed. Echocardiography demonstrated a thickened apex of the left ventricle, but was not able to distinguish between hypertrophy and noncompaction myocardium; the...

Left atrial appendage and thromboembolism: Shape matters
The assessment of the left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology is a relatively new concept as the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging has become common in the preablation assessment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In the not so distant past, transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) was the primary modality used to analyze the LAA. Three-dimensional rendering of the LAA has allowed assessment and classification of different morphologies and now their correlation with thromboembolic risk. In this issue of HeartRhythm, Kimura et al make a case for a specific LAA morphology being related to a hi...
