1/ For the fellows and #ACCEarlyCareer!

It’s a coronary thrombus! When to consider thrombectomy? What do you do? Let’s walk through this…#Tweetorial

#Cardiotwitter #Cardiology #STEMI
2/ Middle age patient with hx of CAD and PCI to LAD presents with significant SOB and elevated Hs-Trop. No chest pain. No ECG changes. Echo with inferior hypokinesis.

Here’s the diagnostic with a JR4.

Notice the filling defect in the RCA. This is thrombus. How do we know?

🔑 contrast staining
🔑 Lack of calcium on non con image
🔑 ovoid filling defect (complete lumen)

Exactly 7 years ago, I spent #StrokeAwarenessDay undergoing emergency #thrombectomy for #basilar artery occlusion. #BAO

Today, I'm still in awe and celebrating how #modern #medicine saved me from locked-in syndrome and enabled me to live a normal life, against all odds.

1/ 🧵
2/ So far, I have avoided sharing this information as part of my professional life, fearing it would somehow disqualify me as a credible clinician-scientist. Finally, I realize that the experience only strengthened my resolve to give future patients the second chance I was given.
3/ What happened in brief:

I was a healthy, 25yo medical student, all excited to have finished the first 10K run of my life not even 5 hours before my family reacted #FAST and called 911.

1/ Atypical CLOT- a tweetorial

I recently saw a controversial tweet arguing against tx of chronic clot and restricting tx SOLEY to the CFV/iliac. While I agree (for the most part)- data is limited. At the end of the day we care about the pt, and not every pt is the same! Case➡️ Image
2/ Pathophysiology of chronic #clot formation.

It’s important to recognize the lesions that can form after a clot:

Spurs/Webs
Rokitansky/NIVL/fibrosis

Your pts CEAP >5 always consider for non thrombotic obstructions! Consider #IVUS if things don’t fit! Image
3/ Clot is in a constant state of evolution. #Fibrin—> #Collagen.
 
Unfortunately many patients present in the subacute or late phase of #clot development which hinders many of our treatment approaches.

#HistoryofEVT

It’s no secret that #EVT for AIS has been a complete game changer for the field resulting in dramatic reduction in death & disability

Join us to explore the #history of EVT in collaboration with @SVINJournal, to celebrate the inaugural issue Image
Many thanks to @Mahmoudneuro, #RaulNogueira and @DiogoHaussen whose review entitled:
👉“Tx Advancements in the Endovascular Management of Stroke” celebrates the advances in #ETV

🆓 #openaccess

1st #Fun fact: Interventional treatment of AIS dates all the way back to 1950s‼️
Sussman & Fitch reported 3 cases of IA infusion of fibrinolytics
Didn’t work 😫. Probably because they were performed in a non-hyperacute fashion
But this laid the foundation for years of refinement Image

1/ 42 yo patient presents with 3 hours of left hemiparesis found to have right M1 thrombus. Platelets are 24,000/uL!

Welcome to a CANNOT MISS #EmoryNCCTweetorials @EmoryNeuroCrit on a rare etiology of #acuteischemicstroke

#Neurotwitter #FOAMncc #stroketwitter
2/ 🚨Goals for the scroll:

✅Discuss a rare cause of acute ischemic stroke
✅ Review thrombectomy safety w thrombocytopenia (tcp)
✅Review dx and pathophys of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
✅Review the treatment of TTP
3/ Our patient with plt of 24,000 /uL is taken for #thrombectomy. Would you send your pt w/ severe thrombocytopenia for thrombectomy?

The treatment of #PE has been plagued by high acute mortality rates. Current risk stratification relies on #thrombolytics which carry a significant bleeding risk. #medthread #FLASH

2/11 Image
The #FlowTriever System, the first FDA-cleared mechanical thrombectomy system for #PE, is purposely designed to capture and remove large clot burden from big vessels in a single session without the need for tPA or prolonged #ICU stay. #medthread #FLASH

2/ From @CDCgov data one American dies of a blood clot every....? #VTE #PE @PERTConsortium #InariFellowsForum
3/ Acute #PE stats

📊100,000–180,000 PE-related deaths annually in US

📊PE is the most preventable cause of death among hospitalized patients

📊3rd leading cardiovascular cause of death after coronary disease and stroke

This #WorldStrokeDay we’re celebrating our #stroke service – which was the first 24/7 thrombectomy centre in the UK – and some of our fantastic patients who have shared their #stroke experience over the last couple of years! Image
Inspirational Issy shared her story earlier this year about how she had a #stroke during her after school dance class when she was 9 – a year later she’s back to dancing! Go Issy! @DolbyMissIs @PrincessPickled #WorldStrokeDay

@DolbyMissIs @PrincessPickled Ellie had a stroke after playing rugby but is now back to her usual life! “I remember waking up after being brought out of an induced coma and being able to talk after not being able to before the #thrombectomy. I thought it was a miracle!” #WorldStrokeDay stgeorges.nhs.uk/newsitem/rugby… Image
