Patent foramen ovale PFO closure has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with recurrent stroke. However, the majority of existing clinical studies in this field excluded patients over the age of 60 years. Data in older patients is limited and since the population ages and stroke remains a major cause of death and morbidity, randomized clinical trials are needed to better assess the benefit of PFO closure in this elderly population. Therefore, this study proposal sought to determine the efficacy of PFO closure for the prevention of recurrent stroke in older patients with PFO and cryptogenic stroke.
The goal of this study is to develop a prognostic score for ischemic posterior circulation strokes, based on our previous work on with the ASTRAL scores (Acute STroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne) on overall stroke prognosis, intracranial occlusion, recanalization and stroke recurrences. The main question it aims to answer is the modified Rankin score in 3 months after the event. Participants will be patients with acute ischemic stroke of the posterior circulation with mRS priot to event <3. All the data will be collected retrospectively from patients included in the ASTRAL registry between January 2003 and December 2021. The ASTRAL registry will be used as the derivation cohort of the score. Demographics, acute glucose, NIHSS score and acute imaging of each participant will be used from the derivation cohort in order to create an integer-based prognostic score. After internal validation, we plan to validate the score in external stroke registries to show its validity.
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and the second most common cause of death worldwide. Currently, the protocols require the imaging techniques at the hospitals to differ ischemic strokes with large vessel occlusion (LVO) from others. In this study, a duplex POC will be used in combination with an APP to identify LVO ischemic strokes in a 800 patients'cohort with pre-hospital and in-hospital blood samples.
To assess the Efficacy and Safety of Dengzhanxixin Injection in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Reperfusion Therapy.
The trial is prospective, block randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) design. Patients with acute ischemic stroke, who are eligible for standard intravenous thrombolysis within 4.5 hours of stroke onset will be randomized 1:1:1 to 0.25mg/kg or 0.40mg/kg intravenous tenecteplase or 0.9 mg/kg alteplase before all participants undergo endovascular thrombectomy.
About 30% of ischemic strokes are cryptogenic. Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is present in about 25% of the general population. In cryptogenic strokes, PFO has been shown to be overrepresented and recent intervention studies have confirmed that PFO has a causal link with stroke. In patients with recent cryptogenic stroke, these randomized studies have shown at least 50%-reduction of recurrent neurological events after PFO percutaneous closure compared with medical therapy alone. At the The risk of AF reported in these studies in certainly largely underestimated as only symptomatic and recorded episodes of AF have been declared. Patients often report palpitations without a dia gnosis of AF made on the ECG or a Holter. Long term ECG monitoring provides more accurate data on AF incidence. Administration of flecainide has been shown to be effective in preventing Atrial arrhythmia and may be useful in preventing these Atrial arrhythmia(AA) episodes after PFO closure. To the knowledge of the investigators, there is no study assessing the efficacy of any antiarrhythmic drug in the prevention of AFafter PFO closure. AFLOAT will be the first randomized study to possibly validate flecainide to prevent Atrial arrhythmia in these patients.
This study assess the relationship between lower limb spasticity and trunk movements during static and dynamic balance in post-stroke patients who also underwent conventional physical therapy, visual feedback balance training and radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy intervention.
The study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of tirofiban in combination with intravenous thrombolytic therapy with alteplase in acute ischemic stroke
The study is a prospective, multi-center, single arm, feasibility study that will enroll a maximum of 36 subjects. The maximum enrollment is 10 subjects per site. A maximum of 6 investigational centers in Europe will participate. Enrollment is expected to take about 9 months, subject participation will last about 3 months.
