Article Abstract

In the previous guideline recommendations, patients who have had a stroke within 3 months are excluded from intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) regimens. Some studies have suggested that IVT with alteplase (rt-PA) may be effective and safe in such patients, but evidence supporting the use of tenecteplase (TNK) is not sufficient. This paper includes an 80-year-old male patient readmitted for recurrence of ischaemic stroke (IS) after 48 days, who received TNK IVT as a bridging therapy prior to thrombectomy, with favourable results at 8-week follow-up. This case highlights that TNK alone or IVT as a bridging therapy prior to thrombectomy can also benefit patients with recurrent stroke within 3 months.

Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been identified as a potential risk factor for cryptogenic stroke (CS). Although transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is considered the gold standard for PFO detection, false-negative results remain a clinical concern, particularly in CS patients with high suspicion of PFO-related etiology.

Aims: To evaluate the clinical utility of transcatheter PFO exploration (TPFOE) in CS patients with negative TEE findings but high suspicion of PFO-related etiology.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an ICF core set for assessing stroke survivors in community-based rehabilitation settings in Hong Kong.

Material And Methods: A three-round Delphi process which involved 39 multidisciplinary experts in community-based rehabilitation services was conducted to reach consensus on a preliminary version of ICF core set for stroke survivors. The initial questionnaire included 130 second-level ICF categories while the panel was invited to suggest additional categories.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally, with frequent cognitive sequelae affecting up to 60% of stroke survivors. Despite the high prevalence of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), early detection remains underemphasized in clinical practice, with limited focus on broader neuropsychological and affective symptoms. Stroke elevates dementia risk and may act as a trigger for progressive neurodegenerative diseases.

Importance: Patients with kidney failure (KF) receiving long-term dialysis have increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with KF and AF have increased risk of stroke, death, and bleeding compared with age-matched cohorts. In KF, the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) increases hemorrhage risk, offsetting potential benefits and making left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) a potentially promising solution for risk reduction in AF.
