Stroke outcome #prognostication

☝️#Stroke clinicians are routinely asked by patients and families regarding prognosis.
🧠The cognitive process underlying prognostication is #complex, poorly understood, and sometime #biased by personal experiences Image
#WeekendLecture
#StrokePrognostication

#Fact: Clinicians, even those with expertise in stroke, perform poorly in predicting clinical outcomes
In this case-based study, overall accuracy for predicting death or disability at discharge was <20%😩

#StrokePrognostication

☝️Several prognostic #models have been developed to aid prognostication after ischemic stroke
These models #outperform clinician #judgment in predicting stroke outcomes

#HistoryofEVT

It’s no secret that #EVT for AIS has been a complete game changer for the field resulting in dramatic reduction in death & disability

Join us to explore the #history of EVT in collaboration with @SVINJournal, to celebrate the inaugural issue Image
Many thanks to @Mahmoudneuro, #RaulNogueira and @DiogoHaussen whose review entitled:
👉“Tx Advancements in the Endovascular Management of Stroke” celebrates the advances in #ETV

🆓 #openaccess

✅ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
1st #Fun fact: Interventional treatment of AIS dates all the way back to 1950s‼️
Sussman & Fitch reported 3 cases of IA infusion of fibrinolytics
Didn’t work 😫. Probably because they were performed in a non-hyperacute fashion
But this laid the foundation for years of refinement Image

3 specific alterations to #alteplase molecule:
👉⬆️Half life
👉⬆️Binding affinity for #fibrin
👉⬆️Resistance to inactivation by #PAI-1

#TNK

👉⬆️T1/2 allows single bolus dosing and⬆️clot exposure to TNK
👉Higher affinity to fibrin-rich clots & + potent/faster clot #lysis vs alteplase
👉 < consumption of fibrinogen/plasminogen/ a2- antiplasmin👉⬇️systemic fibrinolytic effect👉⏬risk for bleeding Image
#WeekendLecture
#TNK
First analysis in stroke patients was a #dose-scalation safety study
There was no #symptomatic ICHs in dosis of 0.1-0.2-0.4mg/kg, and 15% (2 of 13) in 0.5mg/kg
No differences in clinical outcomes

#Genetic & #SVD
🧬🧠

✅1,5% of cerebral #SVD are #monogenic disorders
✅AR, AD or X-linked
☝🏼Absence of family history doesn't rule out diagnosis because of
👉de novo mutation
👉reduced expression or
👉incomplete penetrance

#Genetic & #SVD

When to #suspect?🕵️‍♀️

✅early onset stroke without vascular RFs
✅systemic features and neuroimaging of an specific monogenic disorder
✅consanguinity
✅negative work up for other causes of SVD
