#ESOC2024
The
#ELAN
#RCT
suggests that starting
#anticoagulation
for atrial fibrillation early after an ischemic
#stroke
may be as safe and better at preventing further events than delaying. The results of
#ELAN
are presented now at
#ESOC2023
& published today in the

In the

the results are presented👇
The 1st
#RCT

to show a positive effect of early minimal invasive surgery on functional outcome @ 6M 👏
#INTERACT3
implemented an intensive care bundle with BP reduction & management of hyperglycaemia, pyrexia & abnormal anticoagulation for

patients in a stepped-wedge cluster

Compared to standard care, the bundle improved functional outcome in

Unfavourable parenchymal & perfusion imaging criteria, such as low ASPECTS or small penumbras, should not withhold us from giving

#EVT
is safe & effective in this population👇

Thales Trial at the
#ESOWSO2020
- Ticagrelor plus aspirin x Aspirin in acute phase of TIA and Minor Strokes: highly positive decreasing the risk of stroke and death and 30 days, increasing severe hemorrhage (but with low rates of hemorrhage). An alterantive for acute stroke!
In the
#OPTIMALBP
#RCT
, 305 patients with ischemic
#stroke
& elevated BP (≥140 mmHg) were randomized to intensive BP lowering vs standard care <24h after
#EVT
Intensive BP lowering may be harmful – it increases

(ASPECTS 2-5) within 24 hours from last known well. Three previous

Götz Thomalla presented meta-analysis of 4 thrombolysis trials in patients of unknown symptoms onset.

There is no reason to assume that the incidence of
#stroke
declined since the onset of the
#COVID_19
crisis, but in many countries fewer people with symptoms suggestive of stroke present to the hospital.

In the
#INSPIRES
#RCT
patients with
#TIA
or mild ischemic
#stroke
were randomized to ASA+clopi vs ASA+placebo & to immediate vs 3-day delayed atorvastatin
Dual APT = ⬇️ recur. strokes, ⬆️bleeding risk
Immediate statin: 🟰 recurr. strokes, ⬇️ poor functional outcome
