Anesthetic management of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke: Influences on outcome and complications
ConclusionsGeneral anesthesia and conscious sedation are both safe alternatives for anesthetic management of patients submitted to endovascular thrombectomy. No anesthetic management is universally recommended and hopefully the ongoing randomized clinical trials will shed some light on the best approach; meanwhile, the choice of anesthesia should be based on the patient's individual characteristics. Regarding neuroprotection, hemodynamic stability is currently the most important strategy, as no pharmacological method has been proven effective in humans.ResumoJustificativa e objetivosO uso emergente de terapias endovascular...

Consequence of Ischemic Stroke after Coronary Surgery with
Cardiopulmonary Bypass According to Stroke Subtypes
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of patients developing
ischemic stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods: From March 2012 to January 2017, 5380 consecutive patients undergoing
elective coronary surgery were analyzed. Ninety-five patients who developed
ischemic strokes after on-pump coronary surgery were included in the study,
retrospectively. The cohort was divided into four subgroups [total anterior
circulation infarction (TACI), partial anterior circulation infarction
(PACI), posterior circulation infarction (POCI), and lacunar...

Updated Meta-analysis on the Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in
Reduction of Stroke Rates: the DEFENSE-PFO Trial Does not Change the
Scenario
Objective: We aimed to analyze whether patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure reduces the
risk of stroke, assessing also some safety outcomes after the publication of
a new trial.Introduction: The clinical benefit of closing a PFO has been an open question, so it is
necessary to review the current state of published medical data in regards
to this subject.Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL/CCTR, SciELO, LILACS, Google Scholar and reference
lists of relevant articles were used to search for randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) that reported any of the following outcomes: stroke, death,
...

Statistical association of rs2243250 polymorphism of IL4 gene and hemorrhagic stroke in Brazilian population
This study analyzed if the variation between TT genotype and the other genotypes (CT and CC), in -589 (rs2243250) polymorphism of IL4 gene, has association with the prognosis of hemorrhagic stroke (HS) and with clinical aspects which are risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases. The result of this study shows that there is no statistical association of the IL4 polymorphism with either prognosis or clinical aspects in HS patients.RESUMEN La interleucina-4 (IL-4) tiene gran importancia en los procesos inflamatorios en casos de accidente cerebrovascular (ACV), puesto que hace que las microgl ías sean polarizadas hacia el fe...

Decompressive craniectomy versus conservative treatment: limits and possibilities in malignant stroke
Conclusion: In absolute values, superiority in the effectiveness of DC over CT was perceived, showing that the reduction in mortality was at the expense of increased disability.RESUMO Introdu ção: O infarto maligno da artéria cerebral média (ACM) ocorre em um subgrupo de pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) isquêmico e a craniectomia descompressiva (CD) precoce é um de seus tratamentos. Objetivo: Investigar o desfecho funcional de pacientes com acidente vascular cerebr al isquêmico maligno submetidos à craniectomia descompressiva em um centro de emergência neurológica do nordeste do Brasil.

Association between serum non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cognitive dysfunction after acute ischemic stroke: a cross-sectional study.
This study aimed to explore the association between serum non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and cognitive dysfunction risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This cross-sectional study enrolled 583 AIS patients. Biochemical markers and lipid profile were collected after admission. AIS patients were classified into high group (non-HDL-C ≥3.4 mM) and normal group (non-HDL-C <3.4 mM). Mini-Mental State Examination scale (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), and Hamilton Depression scale 21 version (HAMD-2...
