Safety of urgent endarterectomy in acute non ‐disabling stroke patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis: an international multicenter study
ConclusionsOur findings highlight that urgent CEA performed within two days from the index event is related to a non ‐significant increase in the risk of peri‐procedural stroke. The safety of urgent CEA requires further evaluation in larger datasets.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Intravenous thrombolysis for patients with in ‐hospital stroke onset: propensity‐matched analysis from the SITS‐EAST registry
ConclusionsOur findings underline the safety and efficacy of IVT for IHS. They also underscore the potential of reducing in‐hospital delays for timely tPA delivery in patients with IHS.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Post‐stroke cognitive impairment is common even after successful clinical recovery
ConclusionsCognitive impairment as evaluated with a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment is prevalent in stroke survivors even with successful clinical recovery. Typically multiple domains and complex cognitive abilities are affected. MMSE is not sensitive in detecting these symptoms. Post‐stroke cognitive impairment is strongly related to poor functional outcome.

Anemia in young patients with ischaemic stroke
ConclusionAnemia on admission was associated with stroke in CeAD patients and with more severe strokes in both study samples. Moderate to severe anemia may predict unfavorable outcome.

Thrombolysis in patients with prior stroke within the last 3 months
ConclusionsIn patients with prior stroke within the last 3 months, none of the sICHs and only one asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage occurred in the region of the former infarct. The high mortality was influenced by four patients, who died until discharge due to acute major index stroke. It is reasonable to include these patients in randomized clinical trials and registries to assess further their thrombolysis benefit−risk ratio.
