Filter by:Primary objective: To determine whether pregnancy increases the risk of recurrent CeAD and delayed stroke in women with prior CeAD based on long-term data. Methods: Multicentric, observational case-control study based on pooled individual patient data from several stroke centers. Primary endpoint: Primary composite outcome measure includes the following outcomes: (i) occurrence of recurrent CeAD, (ii) occurrence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, (iii) death.
Cervical artery dissection (CAD) accounts for about 2% of all strokes, and is a major cause of stroke in young people (about 15%). Many cases of CAD during pregnancy and puerperium have been described, suggesting that pregnancy and puerperium may be potential risk factors for CAD. The purpose of this study is to determine whether pregnancy and puerperium are also recurrence risk factors for CAD.
Primary objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) to anticoagulant treatment (vitamin K antagonists) in CAD-patients with regard to outcome and complication measures. Methods: Randomized controlled, open labeled multicenter, non-inferiority trial with blinded assessment of outcome events. Primary endpoint: Primary composite outcome measure - labeled Cerebrovascular Ischemia, major Hemorrhagic events or Death (CIHD) - includes the following efficacy and safety outcome measures during the treatment period: (i) occurrence of any stroke*, new acute lesions on diffusion weighted MRI (ii) any major extracranial hemorrhage, any symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and any asymptomatic micro- or macrobleeds, (iii) death.
The purpose of this study has evolved and expanded since its inception. Originally the intent was to establish the functional, molecular and genetic profile of fibroblasts from Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) patients as compared to carefully matched control subjects. While this remains among the objectives, the study has been expanded to undertake a fully powered cross-tissue systems genetics analysis of FMD, and now also the related arteriopathies spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and cervical artery dissection (CvAD). The overall objective is to disclose the core biologic mechanisms of these disorders.
The main purpose of this study is to look for genetic and environmental risk factors of cervical artery dissections, a major cause of ischemic stroke in young adults, in a large multicenter case-control trial
This is a feasibility study to determine if a sufficient number of patients can be recruited throughout the United Kingdom and whether sufficient endpoints can be generated for a full scale therapeutic trial of anticoagulants versus antiplatelets in acute cervical artery dissection treatment.
