Although several studies have noted a link between larger vegetations and an increased risk of embolization, a more comprehensive evaluation of vegetation characteristics in a contemporary cohort has not been conducted. In total, 234 patients had a symptomatic embolic event, a 30day cumulative incidence of 30.2%. years, and 89.3%

BACKGROUND:A modified computed tomography angiography (CTA)based Carotid Plaque Reporting and Data System (Plaque-RADS) classification was applied to a cohort of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source to test whether high-risk Plaque-RADS subtypes are more prevalent on the ipsilateral side of stroke.

Background Guidelines for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) at high thromboembolic risk recommend oral anticoagulants (OACs) for preventing stroke and systemic embolism (SE). in 2015–2016. The reasons for guideline non-adherence are still unclear. Globally, OAC prescription increased over time, from 60.4%

In the present study, we investigated clinical and procedural characteristics predictive of MT success and failure.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of MT patients with LVO presenting to our academic comprehensive stroke center from 2015‐2020. Recanalization failure was defined as TICI 0‐2a and success as TICI 2b‐3.
