Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: Secondary Prevention of Stroke Update 2020

David J. Gladstone et al.

Summary: The 2020 update of the Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations (CSBPR) for the Secondary Prevention of Stroke includes evidence-based recommendations and expert opinions to guide clinicians in preventing ischemic stroke recurrence through the management of modifiable risk factors. The updated guidelines address various aspects of stroke prevention, including triage, diagnostic testing, lifestyle behaviors, medication therapies, and recommendations for different conditions such as atrial fibrillation and hyperlipidemia. The addition of new recommendations and revised treatment guidelines reflect the evolving evidence in stroke management.

Safety of the oral factor XIa inhibitor asundexian compared with apixaban in patients with atrial fibrillation (PACIFIC-AF): a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, dose-finding phase 2 study

Jonathan P. Piccini et al.

Summary: This study compared the incidence of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation between Asundexian and apixaban, showing that Asundexian resulted in lower rates of bleeding compared with standard dosing of apixaban.

Frequency and patterns of Brain Infarction in Patients With Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: NAVIGATE ESUS Trial

Mukul Sharma et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the frequency and pattern of brain infarcts in patients with ESUS. The MRI results showed that the majority of ESUS patients had multiple infarcts, even without a prior history of clinical stroke or transient ischemic attack. These findings indicate a significant burden of clinical stroke and covert brain infarction in ESUS patients.

Milvexian for the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism

Jeffrey Weitz et al.

Summary: The study results showed that in knee arthroplasty patients receiving different doses of milvexian treatment, the incidence of venous thromboembolism with twice-daily dosing was significantly lower than the prespecified benchmark of 30%, with a lower risk of bleeding compared to enoxaparin.

Factor XI Inhibition to Uncouple Thrombosis From Hemostasis JACC Review Topic of the Week

Charles Hsu et al.

Summary: Hemostasis and thrombosis are closely linked, with factor XI inhibitors potentially providing a safer alternative to current anticoagulants. Clinical studies are ongoing to determine the efficacy of factor XI inhibitors in attenuating thrombosis without disrupting hemostasis.

Abelacimab for Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism

Peter Verhamme et al.

Summary: Factor XI plays a significant role in the development of postoperative venous thromboembolism. Inhibition of Factor XI with a single intravenous dose of abelacimab after total knee arthroplasty was effective in preventing venous thromboembolism and had a low risk of bleeding.

The 2020 breakthroughs in early secondary prevention: dual antiplatelet therapy versus single antiplatelet therapy

Odysseas Kargiotis et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown the effectiveness of early DAPT for the secondary prevention after minor strokes or TIA, making it a more popular choice of treatment. However, there is still controversy surrounding the duration of DAPT and the individualized selection of patients based on their risk factors for bleeding and potential benefits in preventing future ischemic events.

European Stroke Organisation expedited recommendation for the use of short-term dual antiplatelet therapy early after minor stroke and high-risk TIA

Jesse Dawson et al.

Summary: It is strongly recommended to use aspirin and clopidogrel dual antiplatelet therapy for 21 days in patients with non-cardioembolic minor ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA in the past 24 hours, based on high quality evidence. It is weakly recommended to use aspirin and ticagrelor dual antiplatelet therapy for 30 days in patients with non-cardioembolic mild to moderate ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA in the past 24 hours, based on moderate quality evidence.
