Patent Foramen Ovale related cryptogenic stroke during COVID-19 disease in three patients: a case series
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), termed COVID-19, first detected in Whuan, was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The epidemic of COVID-19 has rapidly spread worldwide. Italy was the first European country to be affected and, currently, Italy has reported 4,343,397 COVID-19-positive cases (1).

Impact of the sars-cov-2 pandemic on the endovascular treatment of acute stroke – an italian single-center experience
: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic greatly influenced the overall quality of healthcare. The purpose of this study was to compare the time variables for acute stroke treatment and evaluate differences in the pre-hospital and in-hospital care before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, as well as between the first and second waves.

Ischemic Stroke in the Very Elderly: Experience from an Italian Stroke Unit Hub Over a Period of 8 Years in the Era of Thrombectomy
Industrialized countries witnessed a staggering increase in life expectancy in the last century.1 In Italy, as in many western countries, demographic growth is stagnant and life expectancy reached an average of 84 years old.2 Since age is one of the most important non-modifiable risk factors for stroke,3 the number of patients affected by ischemic stroke will increase and elderly patients, who are particularly susceptible to vascular diseases, will eventually represent the majority of stroke victims.

Response to Letter to the Editor
We would like to thank Dr Nzwalo and Dr Logallo for their interest in our paper about the impact of the lockdown measures, enforced in March 2020 to control the spread of Covid-19 outbreak, on stroke admissions and treatments in Campania, the third most-populous and the most-densely populated region in Italy.

The impact of Covid-19 lockdown on stroke admissions and treatments in Campania
This study analyses the impact of Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures on the incidence of stroke, in Campania, the most densely-populated region in Italy.Methods: we retrospectively analysed data regarding acute stroke patients presenting at 5 Campania stroke hubs, before and after the issue of lockdown in Italy on March 9th, 2020.

The interplay between COVID 19 and non-communicable diseases
Since the coronavirus designated as COVID-19 emerged as a global pathogen in late 2019, there has been rapid spread across the globe. After originating in China, several high-income countries such as Italy, Spain, United States, and the United Kingdom have had high case prevalence and high levels of mortality.

Predicting the Risk of Stroke in Chinese Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis Patients Underwent Carotid Artery Stenting: Validation and Improvement of Siena Carotid Artery Stenting Risk Score
Background: Siena carotid artery stenting (CAS) risk score is developed based on Chinese internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis patients recruited in Italy, whether it is equally applicable in Chinese remains unknown. We aimed to investigate Siena CAS risk score value for predicting stroke risk in ICA stenosis patients underwent CAS and explore additional factors for improving accuracy of scoring system. Methods: Totally 401 patients with ICA stenosis who underwent CAS were enrolled. The clinical data (including patient characteristics, lesion features, and procedure-related features) were collected and the Siena CAS score was calculated.

Significant Association between OPG/TNFRSF11B Variant and Common Complex Ischemic Stroke
The serum level of osteoprotegerin (encoded by OPG or TNFRSF11B) was previously shown to be increased in patients with ischemic stroke. A single nucleotide polymorphism rs3134069 in the TNFRSF11B gene was previously associated with ischemic stroke in a population of diabetic patients in Italy. It remains to be determined whether rs3134069 is associated with ischemic stroke in the general population or populations without diabetes.
