Effect of intra-arterial nimodipine on iatrogenic vasospasms during endovascular stroke treatment – angiographic resolution and infarct growth in follow-up imaging
The treatment of vasospasms during endovascular stroke treatment (EST) with intra-arterial nimodipine (NM) is routinely performed. However, the efficacy of resolving iatrogenic vasospasms during the angiograph...

Contrast-induced encephalopathy mimicking stroke after a second cerebral DSA: an unusual case report
Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication of the angiography process. CIE may mimic stroke symptoms clinically and subarachnoid hemorrhage radiologically. Previous CIE cases occurred after t...

Intracranial arterial stenosis associated with Hashimoto ’s disease: angiographic features and clinical outcomes
Hashimoto ’s disease has reportedly been associated with stroke; however, cerebrovascular morphology and clinical course remain poorly documented. The present study aimed to determine the angiographic features ...

HEart and BRain interfaces in Acute ischemic Stroke (HEBRAS) – rationale and design of a prospective oberservational cohort study
DiscussionBy comparing the results of routine diagnostic care to the study-specific MRI/ECG approach, the primary outcome of HEBRAS is the proportion of stroke patients with pathologic diagnostic findings. Predefined secondary outcomes are the association of stroke localization, autonomic dysbalance and cardiac dysfunction as well as the effect of impaired heart-rate-variability on long-term clinical outcome.The investigator-initiated HEBRAS study will assess whether an enhanced MRI approach and a prolonged ECG monitoring yield a higher rate of pathological findings than current standard diagnostic care to determine stroke...

Relationship between visible branch arteries distal to the stenosis on magnetic resonance angiography and stroke recurrence in patients with severe middle cerebral artery trunk stenosis: a one-year follow up study
Background: To evaluate the relationship between the flow signal intensity of branch arteries distal to the stenosis on 3-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and the risk of stroke recurrence in patients with severe middle cerebral artery (MCA) trunk stenosis. Methods: We prospectively recruited 153 patients (mean age 62.9 ± 13.0 years, 106 males) with a first ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack caused by a severe MCA trunk stenosis (70 % to 99 %) confirmed by 3D TOF MRA and followed them for one year to determine the stroke recurrence. The MCA branch signal intensity...

A pragmatic approach to sonothrombolysis in acute ischaemic stroke: the Norwegian randomised controlled sonothrombolysis in acute stroke study (NOR-SASS)
DiscussionNOR-SASS is the first randomised controlled trial designed to test the superiority of contrast enhanced ultrasound treatment given ≤4½ hours after stroke onset in an unselected acute ischaemic stroke population eligible or not eligible for intravenous thrombolysis, with or without a defined arterial occlusion on CTA. If a positive effect and safety can be proven, contrast enhanced ultrasound treatment will be an option for all acute ischaemic stroke patients. EudraCT No 201200032341; www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT01949961.

Complex interventional treatment in a patient with atrial fibrillation and stroke caused by large carotid artery thrombus: a case report
Conclusion: Emergency carotid embolectomy together with thrombectomy and local thrombolytic rt-PA treatment may be a reasonable rescue therapy for carefully selected patients with large-vessel acute stroke. Further research is needed to establish the advantages and safety of surgical thrombectomy in patients with acute embolic occlusion of the carotid artery and ineffectiveness of or contraindications for systemic thrombolytic treatment.

Prediction of outcome in patients with suspected acute ischaemic stroke with CT perfusion and CT angiography: the Dutch acute stroke trial (DUST) study protocol
This study will provide insight in the added prognostic value of CTP and CTA parameters in outcome prediction of acute stroke patients. The prediction models that will be developed in this study may help guide future treatment decisions in the acute stage of ischaemic stroke.

High-resolution MRI findings in patients with capsular warning syndrome
Conclusion: Our HR MRI data offer an insight into the pathophysiology of CWS which might be caused by atherosclerotic plaque in non-stenotic MCA wall. HR MRI might be a useful modality for characterizing atherosclerotic plaques in the MCA and detecting the pathophysiology of the CWS.

Abdominal wall hemorrhage after intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions: We report a rare case of abdominal wall hemorrhage after thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. The findings indicate that abdominal wall hemorrhage should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the presence of abdominal discomfort after thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.
