Successful recanalization was defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia Score≥ 2b. The primary outcome was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-3. Secondary outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours and mortality at 90 days.

In CRAO, the time between initial insult to presentation is significant because, analogous to ischemic stroke, the duration of ischemia is inversely related to viable retinal tissue. Intravenous thrombolysis is a compelling therapeutic approach, with current limited data suggesting early intervention (4.5

This has been termed a “STEMI equivalent” and included in STEMI guidelines, suggesting this patient should receive dual anti-platelets, heparin and immediate cath lab activation–or thrombolysis in centres where cath lab is not available. His response: “subendocardial ischemia. Anything more on history? POCUS will be helpful.”

Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis. IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with up to 32% of posterior circulation strokes.1

A second 12 Lead ECG was recorded: This is a testament to the dynamic nature of coronary thrombosis and thrombolysis. Accurate identification is absolutely necessary as this pattern can be easily misinterpreted for something less nefarious: for example, generic “subendocardial ischemia.” But the lesion is still active!

Computer read: "Non-specific ST abnormality, consider anterior subendocardial ischemia" There are very poor R-waves in V1-V4 suggesting old anterior MI. Firstly, subendocardial ischemia does not localize on 12-Lead ECG. But the real question at hand is: Are these precordial ST-depressions a result of subendocardial ischemia?

As discussed in ECG Blog #108 — AIVR generally occurs in one of the following C linical S ettings : i ) As a rhythm during cardiac arrest; ii ) In the monitoring phase of acute MI ( especially with inferior MI ) ; or , iii ) As a reperfusion arrhythmia ( ie, following thrombolysis, acute angioplasty, or spontaneous reperfusion ).

Is this Acute Ischemia? Reperfusion of OMI indicates at least partial thrombolysis of occluding thrombus, but still unstable plaque rupture, which can reocclude at any moment. No formal echo was done, and EF was normal on ventriculogram during cath, with no obvious wall motion abnormalities. More on LVH. LVH with anterior ST Elevation.

Blinded physicians adjudicated angiogram reports for coronary lesions and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow score. There is no way the ST-T wave should change from lead V4-to-V5 as we see here given the similar all negative QRS appearance in these 2 leads, unless there is acute ischemia.

Outcomes included complications, NIHSS at discharge, final modified TICI (thrombolysis in cerebral ischemia) scores including the first‐pass effect (FPE, defined as mTICI 2c/3 after first pass), modified‐FPE (defined as, mTICI 2b‐3 after first pass), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SITS‐MOST definition), and death at discharge.

More likely, the patient had crescendo angina, with REVERSIBLE ischemia for 48 hours that only became potentially irreversible (STEMI) at that point in time. During the 48 hours of angina, such reversible ischemia often leads to myocardial stunning with akinesis of the myocardial wall that puts it at risk for thrombus.
