Incidence and Risk Factors of Cerebrovascular Events Following Cardiac Catheterization Stroke
Conclusion In a single-center, retrospective assessment over nearly 20 years, cardiac catheterization-related CVEs were very rare and nearly exclusively ischemic. The independent predictors for these events were found to be the performance of an intervention and those associated with increased atherosclerotic burden, specifically older age, triple vessel disease, and prior stroke. The presence of intracoronary thrombus appears also to raise the risk of procedure-related CVE.

Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa inhibitors for acute ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The available trial evidence showed that, for individuals with acute ischaemic stroke, GP IIb-IIIa inhibitors are associated with a significant risk of intracranial haemorrhage with no evidence of any reduction in death or disability in survivors. These data do not support their routine use in clinical practice. The conclusion is driven by trials of Abciximab, which contributed 89% of the total number of study participants considered.

Mortality of patients with previous stroke undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation
Objective: Patients with previous stroke are increasing among patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES); however, data about the influence of previous stroke on patient outcomes are limited. We evaluated whether previous stroke is associated with increased risk for mortality in coronary artery disease. Patients and methods: A total of 18 650 patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI with DES were enrolled. Databases from three real-world PCI registries were merged for a patient-level meta-analysis. The primary outcome was death from any cause. The secondary out...

Impact of clopidogrel and potent P2Y 12 -inhibitors on mortality and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Abstract Administration of a P2Y 12 -receptor antagonist in addition to aspirin is mandatory in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to reduce the occurrence of thrombotic events; however, their impact on mortality and stroke is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the influence of moderate (clopidogrel) or potent (prasugrel/ticagrelor) P2Y 12 -receptor inhibition on major cardiovascular outcomes among patients with ACS or undergoing PCI. Systematic literature search was performed to find randomised, controlled clinical trials comparing the clinical impact o...

Cardioembolic Stroke - Postmyocardial Infarction Stroke
Ischemic stroke following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare but serious complication due to left ventricular thrombus formation and atrial fibrillation. Early revascularization of the culprit coronary lesion is essential. Treatment trends may affect the risk. Conversely, the greater use of antiplatelet agents to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke could increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The risk of stroke after AMI has decreased significantly with more use of percutaneous coronary intervention and antithrombotic therapies in the acute setting, and statins, antihypertensive medications, and dual antiplatelet...

Low Incidence of Ischemic Stroke Associated With Thrombus Aspiration in STEMI Patients Undergoing Primary PCI
CONCLUSIONS: Very low stroke rates immediately post STEMI were seen in patients undergoing TA and PPCI in this real-world study. TA can be performed safely in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI with a short-term stroke risk equivalent to risk without TA. Further studies may be needed to explain the increased incidence of late stroke noted after TA and elucidate causative mechanisms.PMID:34433694

Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Stroke Throughout the Acute Healthcare Chain
For patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stroke, prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential. In most cases of myocardial infarction, blood flow needs to be restored through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or through thrombolytic medications. Treatments are most effective if started as early as possible. For patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), PCI should be started within 90 min. For ischemic stroke patients, thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator needs to be given within 4.5 h after onset of symptoms. Before a patient reaches a PCI center or stroke unit, he may ...

A mechanism for stroke complicating thrombus aspiration
We propose a mechanism of how stroke may be caused by thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), and how it may be technique‐dependent. Two recent meta‐analyses report increased risk of stroke in patients undergoing routine thrombus aspiration during STEMI and the value of this technique has been controversial. The mechanism of stroke has not been fully explained. This case demonstrates 2 mechanisms by which aspiration might cause thrombus embolization. We recommend that if thrombus aspiration is performed during PPCI for STEMI, it should be done selectively and carefully. It is prude...
