Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban Versus Aspirin in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source and Carotid Atherosclerosis
A subgroup analysis was conducted of patients with carotid atherosclerosis in the NAVIGATE (New Approach Rivaroxaban Inhibition of Factor Xa in a Global Trial Versus ASA to Prevent Embolism)-ESUS (Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source) trial, which was an international, double-blinded, randomized phase 2 trial between December 2014 and September 2017.

Association between estimated glomerular filtration rate, ankle-brachial index, and recurrent ischemic stroke in a Chinese population of ischemic stroke patients.
Conclusions: Low ABI and low eGFR together had synergistic effects on increasing recurrent ischemic stroke of ischemic stroke patients during a long-term follow-up. PMID: 23644369 [PubMed - in process]

Contralateral Occlusion and Concomitant Procedures Drive Risk of Non-ipsilateral Stroke After Carotid Endarterectomy.
CONCLUSION: Non-ipsilateral stroke after CEA is rare. Features driving risk surround global disease burden, combined procedures, and haemodynamic fluctuations. Contralateral occlusion independently increases non-ipsilateral stroke risk. Regardless of laterality or location, effects of stroke after CEA on long-term survival are similar.

Public health campaigns and their effect on stroke knowledge in a high-risk urban population: A five-year study.
Conclusion Stroke literacy has remained stable in this selected high-risk population despite large investments in public campaigns over recent years. However, the baseline remains high over the study period. Evaluation of previous campaigns and development of targeted advertisements using more commonly used media sources offer opportunities to enhance education.

Reduction in Early Stroke Risk in Carotid Stenosis With Transient Ischemic Attack Associated With Statin Treatment
In patients with acute symptomatic carotid stenosis, statin pretreatment is associated with reduced stroke risk. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with associated symptoms is highly effective for secondary stroke prevention. Maximum benefit appears to be in those who undergo surgery ≤2 weeks of symptom onset; however, the safety of very early CEA has been questioned. Data from the Swedish Vascular Registry indicated an 11.5% stroke and death rate in patients undergoing CEA ≤48 hours of symptom onset. This is a fourfold increase in the odds of a poor outcome compared with those undergoing CEA from 3 to 7 days (S...

Clinical Response to Procedural Stroke Following Carotid Endarterectomy: A  Delphi Consensus Study
CONCLUSION: In patients having a stroke following carotid endarterectomy, expedited diagnostics should be performed initially in most phases. In patients who experience an ipsilateral intra-operative stroke following carotid clamp release, immediate re-exploration of the index carotid artery is recommended.PMID:34312072 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2021.05.033

Delays in the presentation to stroke services of patients with transient ischaemic attack and minor stroke.
CONCLUSION: Two-thirds of patients were not aware they were having a stroke, one-third were unaware of the FAST campaign and nearly one-third presented with eye symptoms. Inclusion of eye symptoms and reaffirmation of the need to react might avoid unnecessary delays in the presentation of patients with TIA and minor stroke.

Incidence of Stroke Following Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Descending Aortic Aneurysm: A Systematic Review of the Literature with Meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Stroke incidence is an important morbidity after TEVAR, and probably increases if the LSA is covered during the procedure, particularly in those without revascularisation. PMID: 27993454 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Grade 1 Internal Carotid Artery Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury Persistence Risks Stroke With Current Management: An EAST Multicenter Study
DISCUSSION: While the stroke rate for grade 1 ICA BCVI is low overall, injury persistence appears to heighten stroke risk. Some strokes occurred despite initiation of medical therapy. Repeat imaging is needed in grade 1 ICA BCVI to evaluate for injury progression or resolution.PMID:35652129 | DOI:10.1177/00031348221082277

Safety of Carotid Intervention Following Thrombolysis in Acute Ischaemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Early CEA post-thrombolysis appears safe, with stroke or death rates similar to that of the operation without thrombolysis. However, the wide CI obtained highlights the uncertainty of this result. Further, we emphasise that this recommendation is supported by low-quality evidence. Additional data are required to confirm the safety of surgery and early endovascular therapy post-thrombolysis. PMID: 25216626 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes after surgery in patients with previous stroke
ConclusionPatients with previous stroke had a higher risk of adverse postoperative outcomes; their 30‐day in‐hospital mortality rate was nearly twice that of patients without previous stroke.

Risk of Early Recurrent Stroke in Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis.
CONCLUSIONS: The data suggest that the early risk of recurrent stroke in symptomatic significant carotid stenosis is not as high as some earlier studies have shown. The risk is similar to several studies in which a modern medical treatment regime could be assumed. PMID: 25548062 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Pre-operative Carotid Plaque Echolucency Assessment has no Predictive Value for Long-Term Risk of Stroke or Cardiovascular Death in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy.
CONCLUSION: In ACST-1, carotid plaque echolucency assessment in patients undergoing CEA offered no predictive value with regard to peri-operative or long-term stroke risk or of cardiovascular (non-stroke) death. PMID: 28651865 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictive value of the ankle brachial index in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Conclusions: An ABI ≤ 0.90 or > 1.40 does not appear to be associated with more severe stroke or worse in-hospital outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. PMID: 24429331 [PubMed - in process]
