Stroke-related risk factors during pregnancy in women who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery compared with women who have not undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: MBS helps women lose weight and decrease the incidence of some pregnancy-related risk factors for stroke. However, there is a notable racial health disparity.PMID:37150625 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.03.017

Protamine Reduces Serious Bleeding Complications Associated with Carotid Endarterectomy in Asymptomatic Patients without Increasing the Risk of Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, or Death in a Large National Analysis.
CONCLUSION: Protamine reduces serious bleeding complications at the time of CEA without increasing the risk of MI, stroke, or death, in this large North American analysis. Based on this and previous regional work regarding protamine use in CEA, it is believed that there is now sufficient evidence to support its routine use, and it should be considered as a benchmark for quality during CEA.

Does bariatric surgery change the risk of acute ischemic stroke in patients with a history of transient ischemic attack? A nationwide analysis
CONCLUSIONS: After analyzing nationwide information, we conclude bariatric surgery helps decrease risk of AIS in patients with a history of TIA. However, this comparison is limited by the nature of the database; further studies are needed to better understand these results.PMID:36581552 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2022.11.013

Stroke-related risk factors during pregnancy in women who had metabolic and bariatric surgery compared to women without metabolic and bariatric surgery.
Stroke during pregnancy is rare, occurring in 30 of 100,000 pregnancies, and accounting for 7% of maternal deaths in the United States from 2016 to 2018. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) have been shown to reduce symptoms of chronic conditions that are risk factors for stroke, including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes in women. However, little is known about the impact of MBS on stroke risk during pregnancy.

The Impact of Full Collapse on the Risk of Ischaemic Stroke in Patients with Carotid Near Occlusion
Carotid near occlusion (CNO) is a severe carotid stenosis associated with a reduction in the calibre of the extracranial internal carotid artery distal to the stenosis.1 The risk of ipsilateral stroke in patients with CNO is a controversial issue. While a post hoc analysis of the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) and the European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST) reported a lower risk of ipsilateral stroke for medically treated patients with CNO compared with patients with severe (70 –99%) carotid stenosis2, more recent studies have shown that the CNO recurrence rate may be higher.

PC052. The Effects of Stroke Unit Centralization for Patients With a Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis in the Carotid Endarterectomy Pathway
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) should be performed on symptomatic, surgically suitable patients who present a stenosis greater than 50% North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial stenosis of the internal carotid artery within 14 days of their symptoms. Aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Stroke Uni centralization for patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis undergoing CEA.

Plaque Contact Surface Area and Flow Lumen Volume Predict Stroke Risk in Extracranial Carotid Artery Stenosis
The ability to predict culprit lesions in the extracranial carotid circulation remains limited. The standard indication for intervention in asymptomatic disease is currently percent stenosis in the internal carotid artery as measured by the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) method. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) offers the opportunity to analyze carotid artery plaques from a morphologic perspective. Here, we aim to improve stroke risk stratification of patients with carotid artery stenosis using plaque 3D modeling and analysis.

Regarding an Apparently High Stroke Rate in Patients With Medically Managed Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis at an Academic Center in the Southeastern United States
We respectfully disagree with Weiner et al and advise that it is premature to give up on current best non-invasive medical intervention (lifestyle coaching and medication) alone for patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS).(1) Weiner et al reported an average annual ipsilateral 'stroke' rate of 2.9% (10 ipsilateral strokes, in 173 patients with>70% stenosis over 2 years). This is just a little more than for non-surgically managed patients in the Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study (2.3%/year in patients with 60-99% ACS) and significantly more than in the most recently published quality studies of non-invasi...

Does bariatric surgery change the risk of acute ischemic stroke in patients with a history of transient ischemic attack? A nationwide analysis
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and fifth in the United States, and it represents the major cause of disability in older adults.

Using a CT Angiography Artificial Intelligence Carotid Plaque Morphology Model to Predict Stroke
The gold standard for determining carotid artery stenosis is to calculate stenosis using the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial criteria and ultimately plan for medical vs surgical management based on percent stenosis and symptomatic status. Few studies have assessed plaque morphology as an additive tool for stroke prediction. Our study uses an artificial intelligence software in conjunction with a patient's computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck to create a three-dimensional (3D) model of the carotid artery and assess plaque morphology including calcification, intraplaque hemorrhage, matrix, and pe...

TransCarotid Revascularization With Dynamic Flow Reversal Versus Carotid Endarterectomy in the Vascular Quality Initiative Surveillance Project
Objective: To compare the outcomes of TCAR with flow reversal to the gold standard CEA using data from the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative TCAR Surveillance Project. Summary of Background Data: TCAR is a novel minimally invasive procedure for carotid revascularization in high-risk patients that is associated with significantly lower stroke rates compared with carotid artery stenting via the transfemoral approach. Methods: Patients in the United States and Canada who underwent TCAR and CEA for carotid artery stenosis (2016-2019) were included. Propensity scores were calculated base...

Best medical treatment alone may not be adequate for all patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, with>130,000 deaths/y.1 Every year, about 795,000 people in the United States sustain a stroke.1 About 610,000 of these are first strokes and 185,000 are recurrent strokes.1 Three landmark randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrated that in patients with 60% to 99% asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS), carotid endarterectomy (CEA) conferred a 50% relative risk reduction in the 5-year stroke risk compared with medical treatment (MT) alone (absolute risk reduction of ≈1%/y).
