    Abstract Asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) due to atherosclerosis is a risk factor for ipsilateral ischemic cerebrovascular events and cognitive impairment. The prognosis of ACS has improved over the past 4 decades due largely to improvements in medical management. Most patients with ACS can be managed without revascularization, but some patients with vulnerable plaque should be considered for revascularization. Regardless of the decision to refer for revascularization, all patients with ACS should receive intensive medical management. This includes lifestyle modification (Mediterranean diet, exercise, and smoking cessation) and pharmacological therapy (antiplatelets, lipid-lowering agents, blood pressure reduction, and glycemic control). Patients with ACS often have atherosclerosis in other critical locations, and thus optimal medical therapy is likely to reduce events outside the carotid arteries. The nature of optimal medical therapy is described.

    Abstract Purpose of review: We reviewed lipid-modifying therapies and the risk of stroke and other cerebrovascular outcomes, with a focus on newer therapies.
    Recent findings: Statins and ezetimibe reduce ischemic stroke risk without increasing hemorrhagic stroke risk. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors similarly reduce ischemic stroke risk in statin-treated patients with atherosclerosis without increasing hemorrhagic stroke, even with very low achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Icosapent ethyl reduces the risk of total and first ischemic stroke in patients with established cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus. Clinical outcome trials are underway for newer lipid-modifying agents, including inclisiran, bempedoic acid, and pemafibrate. New biologic agents including evinacumab, pelacarsen, olpasiran, and SLN360 are also discussed. In addition to statins and ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors and icosapent ethyl reduce the risk of ischemic stroke without increasing the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. These therapies dramatically expand options for reducing stroke in high-risk settings.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to quantify the risk of ipsilateral stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery occlusion (ACAO).
    Methods: Studies reporting ipsilateral stroke risk in ACAO were identified by a search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and study bibliographies. Study estimates were pooled using a random effects model, and heterogeneity was quantified using the I(2) statistic. The primary outcome was the annual rate of ipsilateral stroke.
    Results: Thirteen studies were identified, encompassing 718 patients with ACAO who were followed up for a median of 2.8 years. The annual rate of ipsilateral stroke was 1.3% (95% confidence interval, 0.4-2.1; I(2)=53%). The annual rate of ipsilateral transient ischemic attack was 1.0% (95% confidence interval, 0.3-1.8; I(2)=40%). The annual rate of death was substantially higher at 7.7% (95% confidence interval, 4.3-11.2; I(2)=83%). Correction for possible publication bias for the primary outcome suggested a lower risk of ipsilateral stroke (0.3% per year; 95% confidence interval, -0.4 to 1.1).
    Conclusions: Stroke in ACAO is relatively infrequent, but patients face high mortality rates. This suggests the need for intensified medical therapy in ACAO.

    Abstract Background and purpose: An increasing number of case reports link cannabis consumption to cerebrovascular events. Yet these case reports have not been scrutinized using criteria for causal inference.
    Methods: All case reports on cannabis and cerebrovascular events were retrieved. Four causality criteria were addressed: temporality, adequacy of stroke work-up, effects of rechallenge, and concomitant risk factors that could account for the cerebrovascular event.
    Results: There were 34 case reports on 64 patients. Most cases (81%) exhibited a temporal relationship between cannabis exposure and the index event. In 70%, the evaluation was sufficiently comprehensive to exclude other sources for stroke. About a quarter (22%) of patients had another stroke after subsequent re-exposure to cannabis. Finally, half of patients (50%) had concomitant stroke risk factors, most commonly tobacco (34%) and alcohol (11%) consumption.
    Conclusions: Many case reports support a causal link between cannabis and cerebrovascular events. This accords well with epidemiological and mechanistic research on the cerebrovascular effects of cannabis.
