Article Synopsis
- International guidelines advise against using intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in ischemic stroke patients who have recently taken direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC).
- A multicenter study examined the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) in 832 patients who underwent IVT within 48 hours of DOAC use, compared to over 32,000 controls without recent DOAC intake.
- Results highlighted varied outcomes based on prior DOAC therapy, with focus on sICH incidence measured through established stroke scales, and included an analysis of DOAC levels and reversal treatments prior to IVT.
Background The risk of recurrent stroke among patients with symptomatic carotid near-occlusion is not well established, and management of the condition remains controversial. Symptomatic carotid near-occlusion with full collapse has been identified as a strong predictor of early recurrence. We aimed to analyze the 90-day risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic stroke in medically treated patients with symptomatic carotid near-occlusion.

Introduction: In the last years the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) has become in the most common utility to assess balance and postural control in adult patients who have suffered a stroke, especially in the acute and subacute phase.
Aim: To translate the PASS into Spanish and to validate it as an instrument to evaluate balance and postural control in adult stroke patients in Spain.
Patients And Methods: The French version was translated into Spanish, this version was agreed by a team of experts.
