Clinical Factors Associated With Mode of Death Following Cardiac Arrest.

Background: Death after resuscitation from cardiac arrest is common. Although associated factors have been identified, knowledge about their relationship with specific modes of death is limited.

Objective: To identify clinical factors associated with specific modes of death following cardiac arrest.

Risk factors for development of cerebral edema following cardiac arrest.

Background: Cerebral edema following cardiac arrest is a well-known complication of resuscitation and portends a poor outcome. We identified predictors of post-cardiac arrest cerebral edema and tested the association of cerebral edema with discharge outcome.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review including patients admitted at a single center between January 2015-March 2020 following resuscitation from in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who had head computed tomography imaging.

Clinician's Perception of Practice Changes for Stroke During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background: Approach to acute cerebrovascular disease management has evolved in the past few months to accommodate the rising needs of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In this study, we investigated the changes in practices and policies related to stroke care through an online survey.

Methods: A 12 question, cross-sectional survey targeting practitioners involved in acute stroke care in the US was distributed electronically through national society surveys, social media and personal communication.

Giant carotid pseudoaneurysm amenable to pipeline stenting in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos type IV.

Background: Ehlers-Danlos type IV primarily affects collagen synthesis in the vasculature, increasing the risk of these patients to have dissection and pseudoaneurysm formation. Due to friable vessels, antiplatelet or anticoagulation has been the treatment of choice. However, newer intravascular surgical devices may be promising for future management.
