Stroke-Related Hospitalization and Mortality After a Kidney Allograft: A Population-Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Fatal and nonfatal stroke-related events are common among kidney allograft recipients. Further research is warranted to allow better risk stratification and facilitate clinical trials for risk attenuation of stroke after a kidney transplant.

Impact of anatomical position of the inflow cannula on stroke in patients with left ventricular assist devices.
CONCLUSION: The duct-sep distance to LVDd ratio was associated with the occurrence of stroke, suggesting that inflow cannula position influences the incidence of stroke. PMID: 33472505 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Excess Stroke Deaths in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Population-based Cohort Study Using Data Linkage
Conclusions. Kidney transplant recipients had excess stroke deaths, particularly at younger ages and women. Preexisting cerebrovascular disease was a potentially modifiable risk factor for stroke death, suggesting further studies of secondary stroke prevention for kidney transplant recipients.

Heat Stroke as a Cause of Liver Failure and Evaluation of Liver Transplant.
Abstract Heat stroke is a multiple organ dysfunction syndrome of poorly understood pathogenesis. Exertional heat stroke with acute liver failure is a rarely reported condition. Liver transplant has been recommended as treatment in cases of severe liver dysfunction; however, there are only 5 described cases of long-term survival after this procedure in patients with heat stroke. Here, we present 2 cases of young athletes who developed heat stroke. Both patients developed acute liver failure and were listed for liver transplant. Liver function tests of one patient improved, and he was discharged on postoperative day...

Stroke patterns and cannulation strategy during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane support
AbstractStroke has potentially devastating consequences for patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane support (VA-ECMO). Arterial cannulation sites for VA-ECMO include the ascending aorta, axillary artery, and femoral artery. However, the influence of cannulation site on stroke risk has not been well described. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between occurrence and patterns of stroke with ECMO arterial cannulation sites. We retrospectively reviewed 414 consecutive patients who received VA-ECMO support for cardiogenic shock between March 2007 and May 2018. Patients were categorize...

The Effect of Race on Stroke Incidence and Post-Stroke Mortality - The Stroke Paradox in LVAD Patients
Stroke is considered one of the major hurdles in applying Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) technology to a broader population, and remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity despite advances in both technology and management. In the general population, incidence of stroke in African Americans (AA) has been reported to be twice that of their Caucasian counterparts, and the mortality following stroke higher in AA. We sought to assess the effect of race on both rate of stroke, as well as post stroke survival in the LVAD population.

In-hospital stroke and mortality trends after left ventricular assist device implantation in the United States from 2017 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: Our study found a significant downtrend in the in-hospital mortality rates among patients with LVAD without substantial changes in stroke rate trends over the study timeframe. As stroke rates remained steady, we hypothesize that improved management along with better control of blood pressure, could have played an important role in survival benefit over the study time frame.PMID:37387231 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231183723
