Adjunctive Thrombolytics After Successful Endovascular Reperfusion: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The efficacy and safety of intra‐arterial thrombolysis (IAT) as an adjunct to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS) remain uncertain, with recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) yielding conflicting results.

Almost a Double Whammy! Acute Pulmonary Embolism and an Impending Paradoxical Embolism

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively common cardiovascular disorder with high early mortality rates, despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The risk of mortality is quite high in case the diagnosis is missed.

Multiorgan paradoxical embolism in an elderly female with a patent foramen ovale: a case report

Medicine and Pharmacy Reports, 2019
Paradoxical embolism is an uncommon cause of arterial occlusion with a high mortality burden. Current evidence suggests that patent foramen ovale is the most important etiological factor of paradoxical embolism, by acting as a pathway for a ...

Glycosaminoglycans as Polyelectrolytes: Charge, Interactions, and Applications

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, anionic biopolymers with their functions tightly linked to their charge. This review approaches GAGs from a polyelectrolyte perspective, shedding light on how the distribution of sulfate groups and, thus, negative charges, governs their interactions with other biomolecules.

Ischaemic strokes in patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: associations with iron deficiency and platelets. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundPulmonary first pass filtration of particles marginally exceeding ∼7 µm (the size of a red blood cell) is used routinely in diagnostics, and allows cellular aggregates forming or entering the circulation in the preceding cardiac cycle to lodge ...

The Prognostic Value of Troponin in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Troponin elevation is increasingly used for risk stratification, but its prognostic utility remains variably reported across studies. To evaluate the prognostic value of troponin elevation in patients with acute PE, concerning short‐term mortality and ...

Multidisciplinary Management for Concomitant High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism and Large-Vessel Occlusion Stroke From Paradoxical Embolism

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Concurrent pulmonary embolism (PE) and acute ischemic stroke are uncommon but associated with high morbidity. Paradoxical embolism occurs when thrombi cross right-to-left cardiac/pulmonary shunts such as a patent foramen ovale.

Secondary stroke prevention: patent foramen ovale, aortic plaque, and carotid stenosis [PDF]

, 2017
Stroke is the most debilitating cardiovascular event. It has a variety of causes that may be present simultaneously. In young or otherwise healthy people, the search for a patent foramen ovale (PFO) has become standard.
