  • My favorite podcast

    I started listening to this podcast early during my neurology residency and it was definitely one reason why I became passionate about stroke literature and caring for stroke patients. I think it is a must for anyone with interest in vascular neurology.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stroke Alert October 2026
Q: What is Cilostazol expected to do in the context of intracerebral hemorrhage and dural lymphatics?
Cilostazol is being studied to enhance dural lymphatic clearance of hematoma, promote lymphatic endothelial remodeling, and potentially shorten hematoma resolution time while improving neurological outcomes, based on preclinical data.
Stroke Alert August 2026
Q: What were the key takeaways from the Closure-Af trial in terms of bleeding risk and overall efficacy in high bleeding risk older patients?
Closure-Af did not meet the non-inferiority margin for its composite primary outcome, largely due to higher periprocedural bleeding in elderly high-bleeding-risk patients, though long-term bleeding trends tended to favor closure after the perioperative period; this points to a need for refined post-implant antithrombotic strategies.
Stroke Alert August 2026
Q: Could you briefly summarize how left atrial appendage closure has progressed from surgical to catheter-based approaches and what this means for stroke prevention?
The evolution shows that LAA closure, initially demonstrated via surgical means with LEOS3, has transitioned to catheter-based devices like Watchman, with accumulating data suggesting non-inferiority to long-term anticoagulation in select patients and potential reductions in bleeding risk, though results vary by patient risk profile.
Stroke Alert July 2026
Q: What is the recommended duration of oral anticoagulation after cerebral venous thrombosis in stable patients?
Data from XCO-CVT indicate no clear additional benefit from extending anticoagulation to 12 months in the general stable CVT population; duration should be individualized rather than standardized.
Stroke Alert June 2026
Q: What were the main cognitive outcomes, and did they show a differential benefit from revascularization?
The primary outcome showed no significant difference in cognitive change between the revascularization and medical management groups after one year, even when accounting for baseline hemodynamic status and other covariates.
