Small, randomized trials of patients with cervical artery dissection showed conflicting results regarding optimal stroke prevention strategies. We aimed to compare outcomes in treated antiplatelets versus anticoagulation.
Background: The optimal endovascular management of cervical carotid dissection causing tandem occlusion remains uncertain. We investigated the impact emergent stenting during treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with secondary to artery dissection. Methods: This was a analysis treated EVT AIS due occlusive and included retrospective international Antithrombotic Treatment Stroke Prevention Cervical Artery Dissection (STOP-CAD) study. compared without stenting. primary...
Introduction: Cervical artery dissection (CAD) accounts for nearly 2% of all ischemic strokes but up to 25% in young adults. Dissection is likely precipitated by the interplay between risk factors (migraine, low body mass index), environmental triggers (cervical trauma or infection), and genetic connective tissue abnormalities (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos Marfan’s disease). In this study, we delineate prevalence a multicenter cohort cervical dissection. Methods: This post-hoc analysis Antithrombotic...
BACKGROUND: Patients presenting with cervical artery dissection (CAD) are at risk for subsequent ischemic events. We aimed to identify characteristics that associated increased of stroke after initial presentation CAD and evaluate the differential impact anticoagulant versus antiplatelet therapy in these high-risk individuals. METHODS: This was a preplanned secondary analysis STOP-CAD study (Antithrombotic Treatment Stroke Prevention Cervical Artery Dissection), multicenter international...
Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) accounts for 25% of ischemic strokes in young adults. This study evaluated the benefits and harms intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) patients presenting with spontaneous CeAD acute stroke symptoms. analysis used data from retrospective STOP-CAD included who presented within 1 day Patients were dichotomized into those received IVT managed without IVT. We assessed association between 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale scores 0-2) incidence...
Abstract Objective Patients with cervical artery dissection (CAD) are at increased ischemic stroke risk. We aimed to identify characteristics that associated risk of following initial presentation CAD and evaluate the differential impact anticoagulant versus antiplatelet therapy in these high-risk individuals. Methods This was a secondary analysis Antithrombotic Treatment for Stroke Prevention Cervical Artery Dissection (STOP-CAD) study, multicenter retrospective observational study. The...
