Abstract 42: Validation of a New Plaque-RADS Classification System to a Cohort of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Patients

Stroke Journal

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.

PO-06-187 PULMONARY HEMORRHAGE DURING CRYOABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION

HeartRhythm

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.

Abstract 111: Woven Endo Bridge?Coil Embolization of a Middle Cerebral Artery Bifurcation Aneurysm with Secondary Lobule

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

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. Multifocal severe stenosis was noted in the right distal right M1 and right M2 divisions.

EMS 12-Lead

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.

A 60-something with Syncope, LVH, and convex ST Elevation

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Low LV filling pressures are due to several etiologies, most commonly due to volume depletion (dehydration or hemorrhage), but also due to other etiologies including, but not limited to: mitral stenosis, pulmonary hypertension (chronic, or due to pulmonary embolism), or poor RV performance.
