The number of patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) is rapidly growing in industrialized countries. While cerebrovascular events comprise a significant complication, data on stroke etiology, clinical management and functional outcome are scarce.

Consecutive LVAD patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke receiving treatment at an university stroke center between 2010 and 2018 were included into an institutional registry. Clinical characteristics, causes, management and functional outcome of stroke occurring within this cohort are reported. Acceptable functional outcome was defined as mRS 0-3.

N = 30 acute strokes occurred in 20 patients (77% ischemic, 23% hemorrhagic, mean age 57±13 years, 10% female, 8 patients (40%) had more than one event). 87% of all events happened with non-pulsatile devices, on average 9 (IQR 3-22) months after the implantation. UGT8-IN-1 in vivo All patients used oral anticoagulation with a Vitamin-K antagonist in combination with anti-platelets. The international normalized ratio (INR)-values were outside the therapeutic range in 39% of ischemic strokes and in 57% of hemorrhagic strokes. Ischemic strokes were predominantly of cardioembolic origin (92%) and of mild to moderate clinical severity (median NIHSS 6 (IQR 4-10). None qualified to receive intravenous thrombolysis or intra-arterial endovascular therapy. 61% of IS-patients showed an acceptable functional outcome after three months. 4/7 patients with hemorrhagic stroke received immediate reversal of anticoagulation without any thrombotic complications.

The majority of LVAD patients with ischemic stroke had an acceptable functional outcome after three months. Future clinical research is warranted to improve therapeutic strategies for acute care and stroke prevention.

Giant cavernomas (GCMs) are angiographically occult vascular malformations of the central nervous system measuring at least 4 cm in diameter. These are rare lesions, especially in the cerebellum. As such, the clinical and radiologic features, surgical management, and outcomes of treatment for this condition are unknown.

We performed a systematic review of SCOPUS and PubMed databases for case reports and case series of histopathologically proven GCMs arising from the cerebellum in the pediatric population, and included a case managed at our center. Data on clinical presentation, imaging features, surgical treatment and outcomes of management were collected.

A total of 10 cases were identified from the systematic review, including our case report. The patients' median age was 6 months, with a slight male sex predilection (1.51). The most common neurologic manifestations were bulging fontanelle in infants, and headache and focal cerebellar deficits in older children. Surgical excision was done in all cases, while 50% of the cases had CSF diversion surgery done prior to excision. In cases with reported outcome, complete neurologic recovery was achieved in seven while partial recovery was reported in one case. No deaths were reported at median follow-up of 12 months.

Our case report and systematic review show that giant cerebellar cavernoma is a rare differential diagnosis for symptomatic hemorrhagic cerebellar masses in the pediatric age group. Mainstay of treatment is surgical excision, which can be associated with favorable outcome in most cases.

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is considered as an independent and easy-to-measure inflammatory predictor of mortality in patients with acute stroke. However, it is unclear whether the NLR is related to other problems caused by stroke. This study evaluated the possible roles of the NLR in estimating mortality rate and health problems in patients with acute ischemic (IS) and hemorrhagic (H) stroke.

A total of 180 patients with acute IS and H stroke were enrolled. NLR was calculated from the admission blood work. Patients were divided into two groups according to the NLR values (<5 and >5). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings were collected for the subjects. The correlations of NLR with mortality, infection incidences, and other parameters were determined using statistical analyses.

The percentages of lymphocytes and WBCs were significantly higher in IS stroke patients than H group, unlike neutrophil number (P<0. 0001-0.01). In contrast with the serum levels of hemoglobin, Naarameters, may be used to determine stroke type and predict patient susceptibility to some infectious diseases such as pneumonia. However, more investigations are required to clarify the role of the NLR in different aspects of acute stroke.
We hypothesized that the relationships between treatments and outcomes in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) are different, depending on the severity of initial neurological deficits.

Of 2420 ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion in a prospective, multicenter registry in Japan, patients with acute BAO were enrolled. Subjects were divided into two severity groups according to the baseline NIH Stroke Scale score severe (≥10) and mild (<10) groups. The primary effectiveness outcome was favorable outcome, defined as modified Rankin Scale score 0-3 at 3 months. Safety outcomes included any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) within 72 h. Outcomes in each group were compared between patients who received endovascular therapy (EVT) and those with standard medical treatment (SMT).

In this study, 167 patients (52 female; median age 75 years) were analyzed. The favorable outcome was seen in 93 patients (56%) overall. In the severe group (n = 128), the proportion of favorable outcome was higher in patients who received EVT (60/111, 54%) than those with SMT (2/17, 12%, P < 0.
