Percutaneous Coronary Intervention as a Trigger for Stroke
This study aimed to quantify the transient change in risk of stroke for up to 12 weeks after PCI. We applied the case-crossover method, using data from the Norwegian Patient Register on all hospitalizations in Norway in the period of 2008 through 2014. The relative risk (RR) of ischemic stroke was highest during the first two days after PCI (RR 17.5, 95% CI 4.2-72.8), and decreased gradually during the following weeks.

A mechanism for stroke complicating thrombus aspiration
We propose a mechanism of how stroke may be caused by thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), and how it may be technique‐dependent. Two recent meta‐analyses report increased risk of stroke in patients undergoing routine thrombus aspiration during STEMI and the value of this technique has been controversial. The mechanism of stroke has not been fully explained. This case demonstrates 2 mechanisms by which aspiration might cause thrombus embolization. We recommend that if thrombus aspiration is performed during PPCI for STEMI, it should be done selectively and carefully. It is prude...

Will Mesh-covered stents help reduce stroke associated with carotid stent-angioplasty?
After a decade and a half of clinical studies on carotid stenting, several factors have become clear. Both carotid stenting (CAS) and endarterectomy (CEA) protect the patient from stroke over the long-term (1, 2). However, in the perioperative period, the risk of stroke is higher with stenting, especially minor stroke, and often presents in a delayed fashion. That is, a significant portion of neurologic events occur between one and thirty days following stent placement, long after the cerebral protection device has been removed (3-5).

Endovascular management of extracranial occlusions at the hyperacute phase of stroke with tandem occlusions
Conclusions ervical occlusion with coils and thrombectomy with stent-retrievers may be relevant to prevent early embolic recurrence in cervical occlusions with intraluminal thrombus. Stent-retrievers should be further assessed as a first-line approach, since delayed stroke may occur following occlusion with coils.

Carotid endarterectomy: the change in practice over 11  years in a stroke centre
ConclusionThe trends in CEA practice at our centre align with international trends and guidelines. This study provides a representative indicator of Australian hospital practice, and illustrates how evidence from research is translated into clinical care.

Associations of common variants at ALDH2 gene and the risk of stroke in patients with coronary artery diseases undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Limited data are available about the role of common variants at the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene (ALDH2) on the clinical outcome in Chinese patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In the present study, a total of 1089 patients were consecutively enrolled from January 2012 and July 2013. Six common variants at ALDH2 gene, including rs2339840, rs4648328, rs4767939, rs11066028, rs16941669, and rs671, were selected to test the associations of those polymorphisms with the cardiovascular outcome in patients with CHD after PCI. The clinical endpoints included cardiovascular...

Endovascular management of extracranial occlusions at the hyperacute phase of stroke with tandem occlusions
ConclusionsCervical occlusion with coils and thrombectomy with stent-retrievers may be relevant to prevent early embolic recurrence in cervical occlusions with intraluminal thrombus. Stent-retrievers should be further assessed as a first-line approach, since delayed stroke may occur following occlusion with coils. Medical treatment alone may be sufficient when no cervical intraluminal thrombus is present, the Willis polygon is effective, and the cervical occlusion can be crossed easily to perform the intracranial thrombectomy.

Balloons are not for angioplasty alone: A novel occlusion technique for stroke prevention
Stroke remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). This is especially true with “hybrid” aortic arch aneurysm repairs, with stroke rates as high as 8% reported previously.1 Many of these patients have significant medical comorbidities, including previous stroke, peripheral vascular, and coronary artery disease, and resultant aortic atheroma and calcifications. It is well kn own that endovascular procedures in the aortic arch result in significant cerebral embolization; in fact, in the SENTINEL trial evaluating transcatheter cerebral embolic protection devic...

Stroke and temporal arteritis: A study of 6 cases
ConclusionsStroke caused by giant cell arteritis is a serious and potentially severe condition which requires a high level of suspicion and early treatment with corticosteroids. New diagnostic techniques contribute to refining patient assessment and identifying the optimal treatment. Endovascular treatment may be a valid therapeutic option in selected patients.ResumenIntroducciónAunque la asociación de arteritis de la temporal e ictus isquémico no es frecuente, su diagnóstico y su manejo posterior plantean serias dificultades, requiriendo un alto índice de sospecha.MétodosAnalizamos una serie de 6 pacientes con arter...

All-cause mortality and the risk of stroke with selective aspiration thrombectomy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: A nationwide retrospective cohort study
Few data exist on the clinical outcomes of selective aspiration thrombectomy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). This was a nationwide retrospective cohort study. Patients who were diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from July 2009 to December 2011 were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Propensity score weighting was used to balance the covariates between the 2 study groups. The primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and stroke during hospitalization and at 30 days and 1 ye...
