Embolic Stroke in Relation to Dynamic Vertebral Artery Stenosis: A Case Report (P4.339)
Conclusion: Non-traumatic dynamic vertebral artery occlusion on head turning is a rare stroke mechanism that can be easily overlooked if the history of the initial event with its precipitating factors is not identified. Four Figures of neuroimaging will be included in the submission.Disclosure: Dr. Alghamdi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Benavente has received personal compensation for activities with Bayer for serving on an advisory board.

Stroke Caused by Extracranial Disease.
Abstract Extracranial internal carotid artery atherosclerotic occlusive disease is a common ischemic stroke mechanism. Vascular risk factor control remains the cornerstone of stroke prevention in patients with both asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid occlusive diseases. Intensive medical therapy refers to the contemporary approach of antiplatelet therapy, blood pressure control, low-density lipoprotein reduction, and lifestyle modification to reduce stroke risk. Carotid revascularization with endarterectomy or angioplasty and stenting are established treatments for patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis ≥70...

Evaluation of Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting for Radiation-Induced Carotid Stenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The safety, effectiveness, and technical difficulty of carotid angioplasty and stenting for RIS are comparable with that for AS although it is associated with a higher rate of ISR. Clinical Trial Registration— This trial was not registered as enrollment started in 2006.

Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Endarterectomy Versus Angioplasty in Patients With Symptomatic Severe Carotid Stenosis Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The long-term benefit–risk balance of carotid stenting versus endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis favored endarterectomy, a difference driven by a lower risk of procedural stroke after endarterectomy. Both techniques were associated with low and similar long-term risks of recurrent ipsilateral stroke beyond the procedural period. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00190398.

Treatment of stroke related refractory brain edema using mixed vasopressin antagonism: a case report and review of the literature
Conclusions: The authors have successfully demonstrated the safety and efficacy of using mixed vasopressin antagonist in treatment of stroke related brain edema, thereby showing its promise as an alternative anti-edema agent. Preliminary findings from this study suggest mixed vasopressin antagonism may have significant utility in the management of cerebral edema arising from cerebrovascular accident. Larger prospective studies are warranted to explore the role of conivaptan in the treatment of brain edema and neuroprotection.

Recurrent right middle cerebral artery territory infarctions in a patient with JAK2 (V617F) point mutation positive polycythemia rubra vera (P2.258)
CONCLUSIONS: Hyperviscosity in polycythemia with hematocrit of more than 43[percnt] is known to cause ischemic events and it is evident in our case where our patient had recurrent ischemic strokes whenever the HCT is about 50[percnt] and the right MCA M1 segment though a mild stenosis, it becomes a critical factor for this patient as the patient had recurrent right MCA territory infarcts and hence in addition to regular phlebotomy to keep hematocrit less than 43[percnt], our patient might also need intervention in the form of cerebral angioplasty or stenting to treat even mild arterial stenosis.

Direct oral anticoagulants in the secondary prevention of stroke and transient ischemic attack in patients with atrial fibrillation
Abstract In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke, the rate of vascular events is higher in comparison to patients without history of stroke or TIA. A meta-analysis of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) studies, including only patients with history of stroke or TIA, report a significant reduction of 15 % in the rates of composite of stroke and systemic embolism in patients treated with DOACs, compared to those treated with warfarin. Furthermore, a reduction of 14 % for major bleeding, as well as a 56 % reduction for hemorrhagic stroke over...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for severe stenosis of the intracranial extradural internal carotid artery causing transient ischemic attack or minor stroke.
Authors: Ko JK, Choi CH, Cha SH, Choi BK, Cho WH, Kang TH, Sung SM, Cho HJ, Lee TH Abstract The purpose of this study is to assess the technical feasibility and clinical efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) for symptomatic stenosis of the intracranial extradural (petrous and cavernous) internal carotid artery (ICA).Review of medical records identified 26 consecutive patients who underwent PTAS using a balloon-expandable coronary stent (n = 15, 57.7%) or a Wingspan self-expandable stent (n = 11, 42.3%) for treatment of severe stenosis (>70%) involving the intracranial extr...

E-088 successful mechanical thrombectomy for basilar artery stroke in a 22-month old child
We present the case of a 22-month-old with basilar artery occlusion successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy.The patient presented to the emergency department with altered mental status and gait ataxia. She "felt limp", her breathing was shallow, and her gaze dysconjugate. Her medical history included congenital heart defects with multiple cardiac procedures.In the emergency department, she fell with attempted ambulation. Labs were normal, as was a chest x-ray, and EKG. A computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head suggested left cerebellar hemisphere attenuation. The differential included arrhythmia, stroke, or...

Cardioembolic Stroke - Postmyocardial Infarction Stroke
Ischemic stroke following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare but serious complication due to left ventricular thrombus formation and atrial fibrillation. Early revascularization of the culprit coronary lesion is essential. Treatment trends may affect the risk. Conversely, the greater use of antiplatelet agents to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke could increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The risk of stroke after AMI has decreased significantly with more use of percutaneous coronary intervention and antithrombotic therapies in the acute setting, and statins, antihypertensive medications, and dual antiplatelet...
