🩸#Antiphospholipid syndrome & Stroke
👉Testing for aPL should be considered in pts<50yo with AIS/TIA, and/or with Hx of autoimmune disease, VTE or obstetric morbidity
☝️Multidisciplinary approach is recommended to evaluate Dx & 2ry prevention

👩👵Women & stroke👳♀️👩🦱
📈Lifetime risk of stroke is ⬆️ than in men
📉Have #worse stroke #outcomes
🤰Have unique stroke risk factors (pregnancy, endogenous hormone levels, exogenous HT)
📊Underrepresented in clinical trials
Still a lot to do!

🧠Small vessel disease:
Any pathologic process that damages small end arteries/arterioles/venules/brain capillaries
Clinical 📸: lacunar stroke & cognitive impairment
☝️Others: motor impairment/parkinsonism/impaired balance/behavioral symptoms

Early #reocclusion after mechanical #thrombectomy
📊Incidence~5% (<24hr & <7d)
🔮Predictors:
⬆️large artery atherosclerosis as etiology; high platelet count; transient reocc during EVT
⬇️statins;🫀embolic
↔️No association w/rTpa use

🧠Three 10pts scores to #predict functional #outcomes in patient w/ #BAO:
⚫️pc-ASPECTS: hypoattenuation on #CTA source images
🟣pc-CS: visibility/nonvisibility of VB side branches & PcoAs
⚪️BATMAN: quantify extent of BAO & the presence of #collateral circ from PComs
#MondayTip
#ClotBurden Score: 10 pts. 1 or 2 pts subtracted based on thrombus localization & extension, in anterior circ. #stroke
Patients w/ CBS>6 had:
⬆️ ASPECTS
⬇️ CBV & CBF volume
⬇️collateral score
⬇️final infarct size
👉Better clinical outcome

#MondayTip
Admission #hyperglycemia in acute #stroke patients is associated w/:
⬆️ mortality
🛏️longer hospital stay
🚶poor functional outcomes
Potential mechs of hyperglycemia-related🧠damage in stroke:
👉acidosis
👉oxidative stress
👉reperfusion injury

#Venous drainage territories
🟢Peripheral: cortical v. & SSS
🔵Central: galenic venous syst via deep cerebral v.
🟣Perisylvian: sup mcv, sphenoparietal & cavernous sinus
🟠Temporoparietal lobes: vein of Labbé, sup petrosal & transverse sinus

The patient w/ a #stroke is > than an occluded artery
Is a #person, and the stroke affects:
-his/her body #structure & #function
-his/her #activities
-his/her #participation
-his/her #quality of life

☝️Rates of stroke #chameleons (false negatives) range from 2-16%, depending on method used
👀Most studies agree in misdiagnosis-related factors:
🧑🦱Younger age
🤨Non specific, milder & transient symptoms
🥴PC symptoms: Dizziness/ nausea, vomiting
🧠FAST (-)ve
The #Mondaytip we owed you!
☝️Isolated cortical border zone infarcts (BZI) may be embolic in nature👉<frequently associated w/ hemodynamic compromise (HC)
☝️In contrast to external BZI, internal BZI are caused mainly by arterial stenosis/occlusion, or HC

⏱️ Relation to #timing & succes of reperfusion therapy
🧠 Link to #specific tissue or target cell line
🎯 Targeting multiple #pathways in concert with polytherapy

#Anterior Cerebral Artery #ACA Stroke
👉<5% of strokes: A1 diameter ~ 1/2 of MCA, majority of🩸flow➡️MCA
🦵weakness present in >80%
☝️Remember neuropsychological deficits (table)
🧠EVT: data suggest its feasibility & safety (more often as 2ry occlusions). 👀Anatomy‼️
#MondayTip
ICH & antithrombotics
👉Incidence: 0.3-0.9%/y
👉Worst outcome vs other ICH etiologies
👉Mortality: OAC>antiplatelets> no AT
👉Women received ⬇️ reversal agents , but no diffs in neurological deterioration, walking at 3m, mortality at 1y.
