A cardiovascular polypill for secondary stroke prevention in a tertiary centre in Ghana (SMAART): a phase 2 randomised clinical trial
Lancet Glob Health. 2023 Oct;11(10):e1619-e1628. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00347-9.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A cardiovascular polypill containing generic drugs might facilitate sustained implementation of and adherence to evidence-based treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the impact of a cardiovascular polypill in mitigating atherosclerotic risk among stroke survivors has not been assessed. We aimed to compare a polypill regimen with usual care on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) regression after ischaemic stroke.METHODS: In SMAART, a phase 2 parallel, open-label, assessor-masked, randomised clini...

Selecting stroke patients for thrombectomy: is CTA+ASPECTS enough?
Since 2014, a series of randomised controlled trails (RCTs) have demonstrated the benefit of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) on functional outcome for the participants who had acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) with occlusion of a proximal intracranial artery in the anterior circulation. The characteristics of the people enrolled in these RCTs have been used to define recommended criteria to select patients for thrombectomy in clinical practice. The initial group of RCTs largely enrolled participants early after AIS (mostly under 6 hours) who had National Institutes of Health stroke scale scores ≥6 (range 0–42 with lowe...

Prognostic Value of Venous Outflow Profiles on Multiphase CT Angiography for the Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke After Endovascular Thrombectomy
This study supports that favorable peak venous VO profiles on mCTA might be a promising biomarker in predicting the good outcome in patients with AIS after EVT.

Comparative Analysis of the Results of Stroke Treatment With Multiple Administrations of Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived HE-ATMP and Standard Conservative Treatment: Case Series Study
Cell Transplant. 2023 Jan-Dec;32:9636897231195145. doi: 10.1177/09636897231195145.ABSTRACTStroke remains still the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Although interventions such as early reperfusion, intravenous thrombolysis, and endovascular revascularization have shown neurological benefit in stroke patients, there is still lack of effective treatment enabling regeneration of nervous tissue after cerebral ischemic episodes. Cell therapy is an evolving opportunity for stroke survivors with residual neurological deficits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and potential efficacy of multiple admi...

Treatment of an Acute Common Carotid Artery Occlusion Using a Large-Bore Aspiration Thrombectomy Device
An 86-year-old man presented with acute ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery territory due to complete occlusion of the left common carotid artery (CCA) extending into the left internal and external carotid artery up to the carotid terminus (C7) (Fig 1). The etiology was surmised to be cardioembolic, in the setting of atrial fibrillation with subtherapeutic anticoagulation (international normalized ratio, 1.8). After presentation, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score increased from 4 (baseline) to 8 points; mechanical recanalization by percutaneous thrombus aspiration was planned.

P005/44 Using the pEGASUS-stent with antithrombogenic properties and single antiplatelet therapy in a case of thrombectomy
IntroductionRescue stenting is used more and more in stroke cases with large-vessel-occlusion or medium-vessel-occlusion refractory to mechanical thrombectomy. The pEGASUS-stent(Phenox) represents a device which is equipped with a hydrophilic polymer coating(HPC) with antithrombogenic properties. The coating allows for implantation under single antiplatelet therapy, thus possibly reducing the risk of bleeding in acute stroke cases.Case HistoryA 79-year-old woman was rushed to emergency room due to left-sided hemiparesis and National-Institutes-of-Health-Stroke-Scale(NIHSS) of 14. Computed-tomography-image showed an occlusi...

Ipsilateral and contralateral carotid stenosis contribute to the outcome of reperfusion treatment for ischemic stroke
DiscussionAccording to our findings, ICS and CCS negatively influence AIS patients' outcome treated by interventional therapies. ICS might exert an unfavorable effect both by cerebral hypoperfusion and by continuous microembolization toward ischemic area, while CCS is probable involved in reducing the collateral circles effectiveness. The importance of early carotid stenosis detection and treatment should then be reevaluated not only to manage the prevention approaches but also to obtain insights about post-stroke treatment strategies efficacy.

Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in China: a study protocol for a prospective, national, multi-center, registry study
This study plans to enroll a total of 3,000 consecutive patients who received EVT for LVO. All eligible patients are adults aged 18 years or older with acute LVO who received EVT and standard medical treatment according to the Chinese stroke guidelines and local practice.OutcomeThe primary outcome is functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, mRS ≤ 2) at 90 days. The secondary outcomes include (1) the proportion of patients with mRS scores of 0–1 at 90 days, (2) distribution of mRS at 90 days, (3) changes in National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) at 24 h, 48 h, and 12 days or discharge (whichever...

Thrombectomy vs. medical management for large vessel occlusion strokes with minimal symptoms
Exp Ther Med. 2023 Jun 23;26(2):377. doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.12076. eCollection 2023 Aug.ABSTRACTPatients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) presenting mild symptoms with a low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤8 and also found to have an intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO) undergo endovascular thrombolysis (ET) or medical management alone. The current study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medical management vs. ET therapy among patients with mild AIS symptoms (NIHSS score ≤8) accompanied by LVO. The present meta-analysis included articles involving mild AIS, LVO, thrombectom...
