Current strategies in the management of embolic strokeEmbolic strokes occur in middle-sized vessels, are usually haemorrhagic in nature, and are rarely preceded by transient ischaemic attacks. Maximum deficit is usually present at the onset of the stroke.Samuels, M.A...
Background Potential causes of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) include occult malignancy, venous thrombosis (VTE) with paradoxical embolism, and hypercoagulable disorders. Given the association of markers of coagulation and hemostatic activation (MOCHA) with these causes, the objective of ...
Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Embolic Stroke: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Dose-Comparison Study of Duteplase Clinical evidence of favorable outcome in patients with spontaneous early reperfusion encouraged us to use a thrombolytic agent in hyperacute em...
As pharmacists, we have all beentaught the "ABCs" of basic life support,(airway, breathing, and circulation).While these definitely apply tothe emergent management of stroke,a more drug-focused set of ABCs aremore specific for the pharmacist.Once in the emergency department, the focus of manag...
On the other hand, untreated severe carotid stenosis may lead to reocclusion or early recurrent embolic events. In recent years, a few large registries, such as TITAN (Thrombecotmy in Tandem Occlusions) and STRATIS (Systematic Evaluation of Patients Treated With Stroke Devices for Acute Ischemic ...

(d,e) CT scan revealed a definite atrio-esophageal fistula near left inferior pulmonary vein and significant amount of air leakage. (f) Free air was also observed in the left ventricle. CT: computed tomography. Full size image Figure 3 Prevention of embolic stroke and successful surgical ...
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that can be asymptomatic or disabling. Its prevalence increases with age and its presence can markedly increase the risk of stroke. Recent advances have offered new options for anticoagulation, interventions to decrease the risk of embolic stroke, and electro...
Over 20 years with evolution of contemporary treatment, impact of AF on HCM appears less severe with reduced symptoms (NYHA), lower prevalence of embolic stroke, and greatly reduced HCM-related mortality (with preserved EF); 2001: Olivotto et al.91 ∗2017 and at present; Rowin et al.24 ...
Renal artery stenosis is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death Duplex ultrasonography—an excellent test to detect renal artery stenosis—is the least expensive of the imaging modalities, is dependent on technician skill, ...
