The hemorrhage was managed with coronary guidewire segment embolization which led to immediate improvement in hemodynamic status. CTA can provide important diagnostic information on perforation location and help in deciding whether embolization or open-heart surgery is needed to address ongoing bleeding.
BackgroundAcute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common and potentially fatal cardiovascular disease that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest in severe cases. During the treatment, the patient received two sessions of external cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as supportive care and experienced cerebral hemorrhage.
Findings from the first international randomized controlled trial to compare patient outcomes following treatment with large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) versus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) show that LBMT is superior with respect to the hierarchically-tested aggregated outcome of all-cause (..)
Introduction:Although older patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are often preferentially treated with coiling, in practice, there are insufficient data to support a clear benefit of coiling in this population. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP244-ATP244, February 1, 2025.
Massive pulmonary embolism (MPE) carries significant 30-day mortality and is characterized by acute right ventricular failure, hypotension, and hypoxia, leading to cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest. Considerable heterogeneity in studies is a significant weakness of the available literature.
How does one's hemorrhage control strategy change when pulmonary embolism is the underlying diagnosis? What are the best strategies for suctioning blood from the airway to improve visualization during endotracheal intubation in crashing hemoptysis patients? and many more.
Addressing the serious issue of delayed and missed findings in diagnostic imaging, CINA-iPE is an AI-powered tool that detects incidental pulmonary embolism during routine CT scans. This is particularly relevant in the cancer patient population, where pulmonary embolism is a significant cause of mortality.
Current guidelines recommend direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for AF because they reduce ischemic stroke with a lower risk of brain hemorrhage. Unfortunately, DOACs often cause gastrointestinal bleeding, which prompted the development of new stroke-prevention methods like Factor XI inhibition. per 100 person-years vs. 0.83).
Introduction:Atrial myxomas are cardiac tumors that can cause arterio-occlusive diseases due to embolization of myxomatous fragments. Herein, we present a case of recurrent left atrial myxoma with hemorrhagic, cerebral embolization.Case Report:A 34-year-old male presented with acute onset numbness and tingling of the left arm.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023.
The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is an ellipsoid embolization device designed to provide intrasaccular flow disruption along the aneurysm neck, which has been proven to be an effective method in treating a wide spectrum of wide‐necked bifurcation aneurysms. Embolization was performed with a WEB SL 6 x 4 mm device (Figure 1: C,D ‐blue arrow).
Cerebral AVMs may manifest with new‐onset seizures or intraparenchymal (IPH) or subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH). The inflow aneurysms were accessed and embolized with coils using a second microcatheter prior to AVM embolization. Embolization of three posterior feeding pedicles was subsequently performed utilizing dilute NBCA.
Rarely, thrombus formation within an aneurysm can lead to symptoms via distal embolization and infarction. Brain and orbits MRI with contrast showed no acute abnormalities, including no evidence of infarction or intracranial hemorrhage.
Introduction:A new Plaque-RADS classification (I-IV) is proposed to categorize the degree of carotid plaque instability and risk of embolic ischemic stroke. A semiautomated segmentation software measured intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) volumes.

The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of EVT for ICAD with those of cardiogenic cerebral embolism (CE) based on real-world data from a multicenter, prospective registry study (K-NET registry) involving 40 centers in Japan.Methods:The K-NET study enrolled 3187 EVTs in 2018-2021, of which 358 (11%) were ICAD and 1870 (59%) were CE.
Known complications associated with cryoablation include tamponade, phrenic nerve injury, stroke, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary vein stenosis, and atrioesophageal fistulas. Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation is a widely used technique for pulmonary vein isolation.
IntroductionOsler‐Weber‐Rendu disease, also known as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HTT), is a developmental vascular disease characterized by multiple arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) due to genetic defects in endothelial angiogenesis pathways. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023.
Both anticoagulants can be used intraoperatively and postoperatively for DVT prophylaxis in patients undergoing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) treatment. This nationwide, multicenter, retrospective study provides valuable insights for clinicians on how to prevent and manage HIT in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
To clarify this, we compared antiphospholipid antibody levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction with or without recurrence, expansion, or hemorrhagic transformation of infarct in each stroke subtype.Methods:Consecutive ischemic stroke patients in a comprehensive stroke center were screened between April 2013 and April 2024.
MRI Brain demonstrated Left MCA acute/subacute infarct, MCA/PCA watershed, and no hemorrhagic transformation. Given infarct pattern on imaging, and obvious Advanced IAB on P-wave morphology, this is likely embolic PAF." Here is the admission ECG. Continuous Tele demonstrates Sinus Rhythm with high-burden PAC's.
The primary outcomes were ischemic stroke, systemic embolic events, and hospitalization for major bleeding. The secondary outcomes were intracranial hemorrhage, hospitalization for gastrointestinal bleeding, all‐cause mortality, and a composite outcome. The median follow‐up duration was 2.4 1.06];P=0.11).
Cases of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) are estimated to affect roughly 3% of the general population and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have an incidence of 8 to 9 people per 100,000.
The efficacy outcome was the composite of stroke and systemic embolism. Safety outcomes included major bleeding, any clinically relevant bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage. Stroke and systemic embolism risks did not differ significantly among DOACs. Each DOAC and VKA was compared pairwise in a network meta‐analysis.
Blood leakage or air entering the LVAD from this location will impact the integrity of the blood flow and may lead to longer than expected surgery, bleeding (hemorrhage), right heart failure, or air embolism. Use of these devices may cause serious injury or death.
IntroductionSubarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) resulting from the spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm is a rare and highly debilitating condition. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023.
The receiving staff suspects pulmonary embolism due to S1Q3T3 on the ECG and administers TPA. The patient did have massive pulmonary emboli, but he also had profound intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhages. On ED arrival ROSC is achieved. The patient was ultimately discharged with a poor neurologic outcome.
with 95% CI [1.59, 2.13], p <0.01), a 32% increase in the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (HR: 1.32 However, the impact of anemia did not significantly affect the risk of stroke, transient ischemic stroke (TIA), or systemic embolism (HR: 1.07 However, anemia did not significantly impact stroke, TIA, or systemic embolism.
mismatch volume of ≥15 mL, and ischemic core volume TIMELESS is the first study to show that an intravenous thrombolytic can be given up to 24 hours after LKW without an increase in brain hemorrhage. Key imaging criteria: target mismatch ratio of ≥1.8, Many SDH patients are lost to follow-up.
Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is a common rhythm disorder of middle-aged to older adults that can cause ischemic strokes and systemic embolism. Lifelong use of oral anticoagulants reduces the risk of these ischemic events but increases the risk of major and clinically relevant hemorrhages.
The primary efficacy and safety outcomes were stroke or systemic embolic events (stroke/SEE) and major bleeding, respectively; secondary outcomes were ischemic stroke/SEE, intracranial hemorrhage, death, and the net clinical outcome (stroke/SEE, major bleeding, or death). Each outcome was examined across BMI and BW.
Embolization is now a well‐established endovascular technique to treat traumatic hemorrhagic injuries(4). On arrival at the hospital, the patient was hemodynamically stable with no ongoing hemorrhage or respiratory distress. Retrograde filling of the internal maxillary artery was noted.
They usually present as subarachnoid hemorrhage, or parenquimatous hemorrhage as in our patient. CT: SAH and parenquimatous left frontal basal hemorrhage of 2x3.4cm. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionOphtalmic dural arteriovenous fistula is not a common diagnosis.
Angiographic imaging demonstrated antegrade blood flow through the dissection as the source of recurrent embolic strokes. Post coil embolization angiographic runs demonstrated complete occlusion of the left vertebral V2 segment at the region of dissection which was confirmed via a left vertebral injection from a left femoral arterial access.
IntroductionDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is necessary to minimize the risk of periprocedural thromboembolic complications associated with aneurysm embolization using Pipeline embolization device (PED). of PFT group patients were clopidogrel non‐responders requiring changes in their pre‐embolization DAPT regimen.

We examined potential causal associations between schizophrenia and a range of atherosclerotic, embolic, and hemorrhagic stroke outcomes.Methods and ResultsTwo‐sample Mendelian randomization analyses were conducted. Little evidence of associations with the other stroke subtypes was found.
Patients with traumatic brain injury, intracranial hemorrhage, recent neurosurgical procedures, or ischemic stroke at admission were excluded. The most common pattern of stroke was multifocal small embolic (51.6%), followed by single embolic (25.3%), watershed (12.1%), territorial (7%), and lacunar (5%).
The use of the affected product may result in surgical procedural delay, vascular injury or hemorrhage, and in extreme rare occasions it may result in embolism. This is a crack found in the far end of the catheter that is placed in the vessels in the brain, where different parts of the catheter are joined together.
Evaluating the infarct volume and correlating it to time of anticoagulation initiation and HT can be detrimental to patient safety.Methods:We performed a retrospective review of all patients who were diagnosed with AIS secondary to cardio-embolic mechanisms and were admitted to our hospital between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022.
The primary outcome was an ischemic (stroke or systemic embolus) or hemorrhagic (ICH or major systemic hemorrhage) event observed within 30 days from the index stroke time of onset. No ischemic events were observed for Arm 1, and no hemorrhage events were observed for Arm 4. at the time of randomization. non-white, and 16.5%
