Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with poorer functional outcomes in acute stroke patients. It has been hypothesized that this is due to poor collateral recruitment.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between AF and collaterals with outcome in thrombectomy patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified 1036 acute ischemic patients from the INternational Stroke Perfusion Imaging REgistry. The cohort was divided into two groups: 432 with AF and 604 without AF. Patients were stratified by collateral grades as good, moderate, and poor. Within each collateral grade, the prediction of AF versus No AF for good outcome (3-month modified Rankin Scale of 0-2) was determined. Then, within each collateral grade, perfusion was compared between those with and without AF.
Results: AF was negatively associated with good outcome in patients with poor collaterals (26.7% vs 51.2% for AF vs No AF, odds ratio = 0.32 (95% confidence interval = 0.22-0.50), p < 0.001), but not in patients with good (50.9% vs 58.1% for AF vs No AF, odds ratio = 0.75 (0.46-1.23), p = 0.249) or moderate collaterals (43.6% vs 50.9% for AF vs No AF, odds ratio = 0.75 (0.47-1.18), p = 0.214). AF was associated with severe hypoperfusion only in patients with poor collateral flow (54.0 vs 35.5 mL for AF vs No AF, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: AF-related stroke is associated with more severe hypoperfusion and worse outcome in those with poor collaterals.

Stroke is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity, particularly among the elderly population. As the general population ages, cerebrovascular disease is anticipated to increase in prevalence. Strokes can manifest as either hemorrhagic or ischemic events.

Portal hypertension (PH) is the initial and main consequence of liver cirrhosis. Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement has been widely used to estimate portal pressure gradient (PPG) and detect portal hypertension. However, some clinical studies have found poor correlation between HVPG and PPG, which may lead to the misdiagnosis of portal hypertension.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) polymorphisms are known risk factors for vascular diseases due to the impact on folate metabolism dysfunction and homocysteine (Hcy) accumulation. This study aimed to investigate the association between folate metabolism risk and hemorrhagic risk in moyamoya disease (MMD). In this prospective study, we enrolled 350 MMD patients with complete genotype data for MTHFR and MTRR.

Background: Pretreatment CT perfusion (CTP) marker relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) < 42% lesion volume has recently shown to predict poor collateral status and poor 90-day functional outcome. However, there is a paucity of studies assessing its association with hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Here, we aim to assess the relationship between rCBV < 42% lesion volume with HT.

Objective: This study compared the value of different systemic immune-inflammatory markers for evaluating coronary collateralization (CC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic total occlusion (CTO).
Methods: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) were calculated at admission in 1409 T2DM patients with CTO. The degree of coronary collaterals was estimated using the Rentrop scoring system and categorized into poor (Rentrop score 0 or 1) or good (Rentrop score 2 or 3) CC.
