Prediction of Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Tissue-Defined Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: Compared with the established measures, our newly created scores could predict future stroke for tissue-defined TIA more reliably.

Initial Experience with Upfront Arterial and Perfusion Imaging among Ischemic Stroke Patients Presenting within the 4.5-hour Time Window
Conclusions: An upfront CTA/CTP protocol aided stroke team decision-making in nearly half of cases. Implementation of a CTA/CTP protocol was associated with a learning curve of 6 months before door to needle time ≤60 minutes returned to similar rates as the pre-CTA/CTP protocol.

The Utility of Middle Cerebral Artery Clot Density and Burden Assessment by Noncontrast Computed Tomography in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Thrombolysis
Conclusions: Utility of the HMCAS as a prognostic marker in stroke thrombolysis is not high in the CT angiography era. Previous observation regarding its positive prognostic role can be attributed to its association with proximal location and extent of clot burden, which are detectable reliably with current CT angiography techniques. Neither quantification nor extent of increased density seems to have clinical utility for treatment decision making in MCA strokes and prediction of emboli composition and response to recanalization attempt.

The Impact of Comprehensive Stroke Care Capacity on the Hospital Volume of Stroke Interventions: A Nationwide Study in Japan: J-ASPECT Study
We examined the effect of hospital characteristics, having a t-PA protocol, and the number of fulfilled CSC items (total CSC score) on the hospital volume of t-PA infusion, removal of intracerebral hemorrhage, and coiling and clipping of intracranial aneurysms performed in 2009.Results: Approximately 55% of hospitals responded to the survey. Facilities with t-PA protocols (85%) had a significantly higher likelihood of having 23 CSC items, for example, personnel (eg, neurosurgeons: 97.3% versus 66.1% and neurologists: 51.3% versus 27.7%), diagnostic (eg, digital cerebral angiography: 87.4% versus 43.2%), specific expertise...

Prevalence of Nonstenotic Carotid Plaque in Stroke Due to Atrial Fibrillation Compared to Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
Background: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) accounts for about 20% of strokes. Nonstenotic cervical arterial plaque may be a mechanism of stroke in a subset of these patients. Methods: A cohort of consecutive patients with ischemic stroke was retrospectively identified from a stroke registry. Patients with unilateral anterior circulation embolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation (AF) or consistent with ESUS who underwent computed tomographic neck angiography were included. The prespecified primary outcome was a comparison of the prevalence of carotid plaque greater than or equal to 3 mm thickness ipsilateral v...

Association between Inflammatory Biomarkers and Progression of Intracranial Large Artery Stenosis after Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: In addition to traditional risk factors and baseline radiologic findings, circulating levels of IL-6 measured soon after stroke onset are associated with future ILA progression.

Long-Term Follow-up of Incidental Intracranial Aneurysms in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: In our study, the prevalence of incidental aneurysm among acute ischemic stroke patients was 6.1%. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no aneurysm rupture or subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the diameter and shape of aneurysms did not change except for 1 patient in whom the aneurysm disappeared.

Safety of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Saccular Intracranial Aneurysms
Conclusions: Intravenous thrombolysis was safe among our patients with acute ischemic stroke and incidental intracranial saccular aneurysm.

The Detrimental Effect of Aging on Leptomeningeal Collaterals in Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Our findings show that there is a significant interplay between patient age and adequacy of leptomeningeal collateral circulation in patients with proximal MCA occlusion. The relationship could contribute to adverse tissue outcome and thereby to unfavorable clinical outcome observed in elderly patients with ischemic stroke.

Intravenous Alteplase at 0.6 mg/kg for Acute Stroke Patients with Basilar Artery Occlusion: The Stroke Acute Management with Urgent Risk Factor Assessment and Improvement (SAMURAI) Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Registry
Conclusions: The use of low-dose alteplase resulted in similar outcomes when comparing acute BAO and MCO patients.

Evaluating Middle Cerebral Artery Atherosclerotic Lesions in Acute Ischemic Stroke Using Magnetic Resonance T1-weighted 3-Dimensional Vessel Wall Imaging
Background: Atherosclerotic lesions in intracranial arteries are a leading cause of ischemic stroke. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is often used to assess atherosclerotic changes by detecting luminal narrowing, whereas it cannot directly visualize atherosclerotic lesions. Here, we used a 3-dimensional vessel wall imaging (3D-VWI) technique to evaluate intracranial arterial wall changes in acute stroke.Methods: Eighteen consecutive patients with acute noncardioembolic stroke in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory who were prospectively examined with a 1.5-T magnetic resonance scanner were studied. T1-weighted ...

Factors Associated with Proximal Carotid Axis Occlusion in Patients with Acute Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: Female sex, advanced age, history of systemic embolism, and higher BNP level were independently associated with more proximal carotid axis occlusion. Patients with AF having these factors may be prone to have relatively large thrombi in the heart.

Prevalence of Intracranial Stenosis in a Norwegian Ischemic Stroke Population
Conclusions: IS occurs in approximately 10% and is symptomatic in about 7% of a Norwegian ischemic stroke/TIA population. Diabetes mellitus appears to be the major risk factor for IS.

Effective Mechanical Thrombectomy in a Patient with Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke Associated with Cardiac Myxoma
We describe a patient with hyperacute stroke caused by cardiac myxoma who had a good outcome with rapid recanalization through mechanical thrombectomy. A 46-year-old man was admitted with acute symptoms of right side hemiplegia and global aphasia. Brain computed tomography (CT) angiography showed a T occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was administered. However, his clinical symptoms did not improve. Thus, we performed endovascular treatment and had a successful outcome. A pathologic examination of the retrieved clot revealed a tumor emboli from a cardiac myxo...

Features of Patients Aged 80 Years or Older with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
In this study, we investigated the features of this condition in patients greater than or equal to 80 years of age. Methods: All patients with acute ischemic stroke in our hospital underwent diffusion-weighted imaging, magnetic resonance angiography, T2-weighted imaging, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence imaging. Embolic stroke of undetermined source was defined as a radiologically confirmed nonlacunar brain infarct on diffusion-weighted imaging without (1) extracranial or intracranial atherosclerosis causing greater than or equal to 50% luminal stenosis in arteries supplying the ischemic area, (2) major-ris...
