Predictors of Restenosis Following Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting Brief Reports
Conclusions— Carotid restenosis after carotid angioplasty is associated with ipsilateral stroke occurrence. In our sample, hypertension, angioplasty without stent, and impaired vasoreactivity identify patients at high risk of restenosis and could help to select patients for follow-up ultrasonography imaging.

Can Renal Denervation Reduce Heart Attack, Stroke and Death?
Renal denervation, a catheter-based procedure designed to lower blood pressure, has been the subject of much interest to the interventional community over the past couple of years. Although high blood pressure puts one in three adults worldwide at risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure, the renal denervation studies that have been conducted to date have looked only at reducing blood pressure rather than the overall impact on major cardiac events. St. Jude's (NYSE:STJ) announcement today of the EnligHTNment trial is the first that will look at "hard end points" such as heart attack, stroke and mortality.

Simultaneous onset of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in a patient with atrial fibrillation: Multiple territory injury revealed on angiography and magnetic resonance
An 84-year-old man with a history of hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) who received no anticoagulant drugs experienced acute chest pain and transient loss of consciousness. He was transferred to our emergency room. His initial electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with ST-segment elevation in the I, aVL, and V1–V6 leads. His blood pressure was 158/92mmHg and his pulse was regular at 70beats per minute. A chest radiograph showed increased heart size and pulmonary vascular congestion. His troponin T level was elevated (more than 0.1ng/mL). He was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) and...

Mediators of the Age Effect in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial (CREST) Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Plaque length seems to be in the pathway between older age and higher risk of S+D among carotid artery stenting–treated patients, but it mediated only 8% of the age effect excess risk of carotid artery stenting in CREST. Other factors and mechanisms underlying the age effect need to be identified as plaque length will not identify elderly patients for whom stenting is safe relative to endarterectomy.

Global longitudinal strain predicts incident atrial fibrillation and stroke occurrence after acute myocardial infarction
Abstract: Patients with acute myocardial infarction are at increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation. We aimed to evaluate whether speckle tracking echocardiography improves risk stratification for atrial fibrillation in these patients. The study comprised of 373 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients had an echocardiogram performed at a median of 2 days after their STEMI. The echocardiograms consisted of conventional measurements and myocardial strain analysis by speckle tracking from 3 apical projections. The endpoint was ...

E-025 Aspiration thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease or tandem lesion
ConclusionAspiration thrombectomy was effective in restoring blood flow and resulting in good 90-day functional outcome in AIS patients with anterior circulation tandem lesion, and the 90-day mortality rate in these patients was low. No significant difference in outcomes was detected between patients with a stent and patients without a stent.Disclosures O.

Posterior Circulation Ischaemic Stroke
Am J Med Sci. 2022 Jan 29:S0002-9629(22)00030-1. doi: 10.1016/j.amjms.2021.10.027. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPosterior circulation ischaemic stroke (PCIS) is a disease of high burden. They account for 20-25% of all ischaemic strokes. However, it is relatively under-researched and requires more clinical attention, since it carries worse functional outcomes. Vertigo, visual disturbances and sensory/motor disturbances are found in PCIS. Large artery atherosclerosis and embolism are main causes of PCIS, while there is growing evidence that vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia is a key association. Hypertension is the commonest r...
