Associations of Antithrombotic Timing and Regimen with Ischemic Stroke and Bleeding Complications in Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury
Blunt carotid injuries and vertebral arterial injuries, collectively referred to as blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVIs), are generally rare events but are associated with high mortality rates and long-term health effects.1 The long-term effects of BCVI include loss of both cognition and function, including the ability to perform daily cognitive and mobility activities without assistance, recurrent stroke, and need for extensive rehabilitation.2-6 Blunt cerebrovascular injuries have been reported to occur in 0.1-0.7% of all trauma patients in the United States,7-10 although higher rates ( ∼1-2%) have been reported afte...

Safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA with Concomitant Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients with Muscle Spasticity: A Retrospective Pooled Analysis of Randomized Double-Blind Studies
ConclusionsNo apparent increased risk of bleeding complications was observed following administration of onabotulinumtoxinA to patients receiving antithrombotic therapy. Nonetheless, patient education and careful observation of the injection site in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy remains warranted.

Cryptogenic Intracranial Hemorrhagic Strokes Associated with Hypervitaminosis E and Acutely Elevated α-Tocopherol Levels
Objectives: Up to 41% of intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) are considered cryptogenic despite a thorough investigation to determine etiology. Certain over-the-counter supplements may increase proclivity to bleeding, and we hypothesize that specifically vitamin E may have an association with ICH and acutely elevated serum levels of α-tocopherol. Our aim is to report 3 cases of recently admitted patients with hypervitaminosis E and otherwise cryptogenic ICH. Methods: At our institution between January and December 2018, 179 patients were admitted with ICH with 73 imputed to be “cryptogenic” (without clear etiology as per ...

Very Late Leptomeningeal Collaterals —Potential New Way to Subdivide Modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) 2B
ConclusionThe mTICI-2B grade may be further refined by secondary radiological markers. The VLLC sign is associated with the loss of excellent functional outcomes at 3 months. It is a simple sign to discriminate mTICI-2B into different grades but should be verified in larger populations from other centers.

Racial Disparity in the Prescription of Anticoagulants and Risk of Stroke and Bleeding in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Background: Oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy is proven to be effective at reducing risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, racial minorities with AF are less likely to be prescribed vitamin K anticoagulants (VKA). There is little information on the racial disparity in the prescription of the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and the associated risks of stroke and bleeding. Methods: We used data from the Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse – a joint initiative across 11 Northwestern Medicine affiliated healthcare centers within metropolitan Chicago, Illinois.

Measurement of Platelet Function in an Experimental Stroke Model With Aspirin and Clopidogrel Treatment
Dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) increases the risk of tPA-associated hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in ischemic stroke. To investigate the effects of DAPT in rodents, reliable indicators of platelet function utilizing a minimally invasive procedure are required. We here established a fluorescence-based assay to monitor DAPT efficiency in a mouse model of ischemic stroke with HT. Male C57/BL6 mice were fed with aspirin and clopidogrel (ASA+CPG). Venous blood was collected, stimulated with thrombin, labeled with anti-CD41-FITC and anti-CD62P-PE, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Subsequently, animals were subjected to expe...

Low Persistence of Antithrombotic Agents is Associated with Poor Outcomes after First-ever Acute Ischemic Stroke.
This study investigated the time-trend persistence with antithrombotic agents (AT) and assessed the impact of AT persistence on outcome events and adverse events (AE) within two years after first-ever acute ischemic stroke (IS).
METHODS: Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance claims dataset, 7,341 IS subjects hospitalized between 2001 and 2005 with AT prescribed at discharge and survived at least 3 months were followed up for 2 years. Time-trends of AT usage were analyzed. Medication persistence was assessed as the proportion of days covered (PDC) for filled prescription, and categorized into low, intermediate and hi...

Clinical Risk Factors of Thromboembolic and Major Bleeding Events for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Rivaroxaban in Japan
Background: It is important to understand the risk of thromboembolism and bleeding in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) receiving direct oral anticoagulants; however, data on risk factors in Japanese patients are limited. Methods: XAPASS (Xarelto Post-Authorization Safety and Effectiveness Study in Japanese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation) is a prospective observational study examining the safety and effectiveness of rivaroxaban in Japanese real-world clinical practice. We investigated risk factors for stroke/noncentral nervous system systemic embolism (non-CNS SE)/myocardial infarction (MI) and major ...

Predicting Chronic Subdural Hematoma Recurrence and Stroke Outcomes While Withholding Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Agents
Conclusion: ML modeling is feasible. However, large well-designed prospective multicenter studies are needed for accurate ML so that clinicians can balance the risks of recurrence with the risk of TEEs, especially for high-risk anticoagulated patients.

Risk of Ischemic Stroke and Major Bleeding in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Cancer
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Cancer may increase the risk both of ischemic stroke and of bleeding. Less is known about risk of ischemic stroke and bleeding among cancer patients with AF, complicating the prevention of ischemic stroke in these patients. Methods: Register based cohort study comprising all Swedish patients hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of AF from July 1, 2005 until December 31, 2014. Patients with cancer diagnosis were compared to the rest of the cohort.

Reprint of : Transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale to prevent stroke recurrence in patients with otherwise unexplained ischaemic stroke: Expert consensus of the French Neurovascular Society and the French Society of Cardiology.
CONCLUSIONS: Although a big step forward that will benefit many patients has been taken with recent trials, many questions remain unanswered. Pending results from further studies, decision-making regarding management of patients with PFO-associated ischaemic stroke should be based on a close coordination between neurologists/stroke specialists and cardiologists.

Emergency Free-Hand Bedside Catheter Evacuation of Large Intracerebral Hematomas Following Thrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke: A Case Series
ConclusionsEmergency free-hand bedside catheter aspiration is a reasonable option for hematoma evacuation in large thrombolysis-associated sICH when performed by experienced neurosurgeons. Larger studies would help in determining the generalizability of our findings to other centers and assessing their impact on functional outcome.

Case Report of a Novel Technique for Repair
of the Vertebral Artery During Cranial Surgery
AbstractSurgery of complex cranial base lesions carries a high risk of damage to
main vessels, often resulting in life-changing or even life-threatening injuries. We
describe a rapid, effective, and noninvasive application of a collagen-based
hemostatic patch to repair the vertebral artery during cranial surgery. A
61-year-old male patient underwent retrosigmoid craniotomy to remove a foramen
magnum meningioma that encased the vertebral artery. A linear incision was made
behind the ear and standard retrosigmoid craniotomy was performed with preservation
of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses. The dura was open...

Critical Issues and Recent Advances in Anticoagulant Therapy: A Review
Angelika Batta, Bhupinder S Kalra, Raj KhirasariaNeurology India 2019 67(5):1200-1212
As the population is aging, clinicians are coming across more patients with atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism requiring anticoagulation to prevent stroke and systemic embolisms. Due to a high prevalence and unfavorable consequences, managing thromboembolic diseases have become areas of clinical concern. Traditional anticoagulants like heparin, low molecular weight heparin and warfarin have been used for the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thromboses. But, issues of bleeding, parenteral route of administration...
