    Abstract Background and purpose: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the preferred treatment option in eligible acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with a large vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation. Several comorbidities have been identified that can affect clinical outcomes. Various studies have investigated the association between anemia and clinical outcome and found conflicting.
    Results: . The aim is to investigate the association between pre-EVT anemia and clinical outcomes at different time points post-EVT, primarily focusing on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at 24-48 hours.
    Methods: We prospectively included 560 AIS patients who received EVT in the Maastricht University Medical Center+. Hemoglobin levels (Hb; g/dL) were determined on admission. Hb levels were also categorized into two groups: anemia (male: Hb ≤12.9 g/dL; female: Hb ≤11.9 g/dL) and no anemia. Multiple imputation was used to handle missing data. Multivariable regression was used to investigate the association between anemia or Hb levels and clinical outcomes.
    Results: Anemia was present in 26% of the patients. Multivariable regression did not show a significant association between anemia or Hb levels and NIHSS at 24-48 hours (adjusted β [aβ]anemia: 1.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.47 to 3.36; aβHb: -0.37, 95% CI: -0.88 to 0.13). However, multivariable regression showed significant associations with modified Rankin Scale (adjusted common odds ratio [acOR]anemia: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.12 to 2.48; acORHb: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.75 to 0.93) and poor functional outcome at 90 days (adjusted OR [aOR]anemia: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.21 to 3.63; aORHb: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.69 to 0.92).
    Conclusion: Anemia was not independently associated with early neurological deficit (NIHSS) post-AIS, suggesting it is more suitable as a general frailty marker.

    Abstract Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the most common type of stroke and requires immediate reperfusion. Current acute reperfusion therapies comprise the administration of intravenous thrombolysis and/or endovascular thrombectomy. Although these acute reperfusion therapies are increasingly successful, optimized secondary antithrombotic treatment remains warranted, specifically to reduce the risk of major bleeding complications. In the development of AIS, coagulation and platelet activation play crucial roles by driving occlusive clot formation. Recent studies implicated that the intrinsic route of coagulation plays a more prominent role in this development, however, this is not fully understood yet. Next to the acute treatments, antithrombotic therapy, consisting of anticoagulants and/or antiplatelet therapy, is successfully used for primary and secondary prevention of AIS but at the cost of increased bleeding complications. Therefore, better understanding the interplay between the different pathways involved in the pathophysiology of AIS might provide new insights that could lead to novel treatment strategies. This narrative review focuses on the processes of platelet activation and coagulation in AIS, and the most common antithrombotic agents in primary and secondary prevention of AIS. Furthermore, we provide an overview of promising novel antithrombotic agents that could be used to improve in both acute treatment and stroke prevention.

    Abstract Objectives: Literature is scarce on the management of patients using direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) undergoing elective, urgent and emergency surgery. Therefore, we summarize the current evidence and provide literature-based recommendations for the management of patients on DOACs in the perioperative phase.
    Methods: A general literature review was conducted on the pharmacology of DOACs and for recommendations on the management of cardiac surgical patients on DOACs. Additionally, we performed a systematic review for studies on the use of direct DOAC reversal agents in the emergency cardiac surgical setting.
    Results: When surgery is elective, the DOAC cessation strategy is relatively straightforward and should be adapted to the renal function. The same approach applies to urgent cases, but additional DOAC activity drug level monitoring tests may be useful. In emergency cases, idarucizumab can be safely administered to patients on dabigatran in any of the perioperative phases. However, andexanet alfa, which is not registered for perioperative use, should not be administered in the preoperative phase to reverse the effect of factor Xa inhibitors, as it may induce temporary heparin resistance. Finally, the administration of (activated) prothrombin complex concentrate may be considered in all patients on DOACs, and such concentrates are generally readily available.
    Conclusions: DOACs offer several advantages over vitamin K antagonists, but care must be taken in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Although elective and urgent cases can be managed relatively straightforwardly, the management of emergency cases requires particular attention.

    Abstract Background: Endovascular treatment for anterior circulation ischaemic stroke is effective and safe within a 6 h window. MR CLEAN-LATE aimed to assess efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment for patients treated in the late window (6-24 h from symptom onset or last seen well) selected on the basis of the presence of collateral flow on CT angiography (CTA).
    Methods: MR CLEAN-LATE was a multicentre, open-label, blinded-endpoint, randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial done in 18 stroke intervention centres in the Netherlands. Patients aged 18 years or older with ischaemic stroke, presenting in the late window with an anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion and collateral flow on CTA, and a neurological deficit score of at least 2 on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale were included. Patients who were eligible for late-window endovascular treatment were treated according to national guidelines (based on clinical and perfusion imaging criteria derived from the DAWN and DEFUSE-3 trials) and excluded from MR CLEAN-LATE enrolment. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive endovascular treatment or no endovascular treatment (control), in addition to best medical treatment. Randomisation was web based, with block sizes ranging from eight to 20, and stratified by centre. The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days after randomisation. Safety outcomes included all-cause mortality at 90 days after randomisation and symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage. All randomly assigned patients who provided deferred consent or died before consent could be obtained comprised the modified intention-to-treat population, in which the primary and safety outcomes were assessed. Analyses were adjusted for predefined confounders. Treatment effect was estimated with ordinal logistic regression and reported as an adjusted common odds ratio (OR) with a 95% CI. This trial was registered with the ISRCTN, ISRCTN19922220.
    Findings: Between Feb 2, 2018, and Jan 27, 2022, 535 patients were randomly assigned, and 502 (94%) patients provided deferred consent or died before consent was obtained (255 in the endovascular treatment group and 247 in the control group; 261 [52%] females). The median mRS score at 90 days was lower in the endovascular treatment group than in the control group (3 [IQR 2-5] vs 4 [2-6]), and we observed a shift towards better outcomes on the mRS for the endovascular treatment group (adjusted common OR 1·67 [95% CI 1·20-2·32]). All-cause mortality did not differ significantly between groups (62 [24%] of 255 patients vs 74 [30%] of 247 patients; adjusted OR 0·72 [95% CI 0·44-1·18]). Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage occurred more often in the endovascular treatment group than in the control group (17 [7%] vs four [2%]; adjusted OR 4·59 [95% CI 1·49-14·10]).
    Interpretation: In this study, endovascular treatment was efficacious and safe for patients with ischaemic stroke caused by an anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion who presented 6-24 h from onset or last seen well, and who were selected on the basis of the presence of collateral flow on CTA. Selection of patients for endovascular treatment in the late window could be primarily based on the presence of collateral flow.
