In a multicenter case-control study, recent infection was associated with higher odds of early-onset cryptogenic ischemic #stroke. ahajrnls.org/4uyKAW1 @AlessPezzini @EvaGerdts @CatarinaACF @PatriciaMarSan @JuhaSinisalo @nyesil @MlzZedde @juhhuhtakangas

@xabierurra @DoctorKNSGY @American_Heart Even if it significantly increased mortality ?

@DoctorKNSGY @American_Heart Yes!

CHOICE-II. IA tpa to stroke bed after successful thrombectomy improved outcome with no difference in sICH or infarct volume. Will you be doing it when you get home? @American_Heart #ISC26
