Summary: This study aimed to investigate the occurrence, risk factors, and association with cardiovascular outcomes of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after non-emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The results showed that age, chronic kidney disease, and prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery were associated with an increased risk of ICH after PCI. Furthermore, ICH after PCI was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality and acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.

Summary: This study found that patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and concomitant cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are three times more likely to have readmissions for recurrent ICH compared to patients without CAA.

Summary: The Japanese National Plan for the Promotion of Measures Against Cerebrovascular and Cardiovascular Diseases was formulated on October 27, 2020. One purpose of this plan was to promote research on cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the actual status of stroke treatment in Japan and operate a national stroke database with high public interest completely and accurately.

Summary: The concept of obesity paradox, which describes an inverse association between obesity and clinical outcomes in cardiovascular diseases and stroke, has recently emerged. This study found that increased body mass index (BMI) is significantly and inversely associated with saccular intracranial aneurysm rupture in males and patients aged 50 years and older.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the impact of antithrombotic therapy discontinuation in the postacute phase of cervical artery dissection (CeAD) on the mid-term outcome of patients. The results showed that discontinuing antithrombotic therapy during the postacute phase of CeAD does not appear to increase the risk of brain ischemia during follow-up.

Summary: This article reviews the cardiovascular complications after ICH, including ischemic and hemorrhagic events, and highlights potential secondary stroke and venous thrombotic prevention strategies. The article also discusses the epidemiology and risk factors associated with these complications and their impact on ICH outcomes.

Summary: The management of incidental unruptured intracranial aneurysms remains challenging. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of UIAs in a general population using different definitions of aneurysm. The results showed that the prevalence was higher than previously observed in other Western populations and was influenced by size and location definitions.

Summary: This study investigated the predicting factors for in-hospital outcomes of patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and found that larger initial hematoma and concurrent in-hospital infection were statistically related to higher mortality, while in-hospital infection and surgery were correlated with a longer length of stay. Additionally, poor change in activity of daily living (ADL) was associated with larger initial ICH, in-hospital concurrent infection, and lack of rehabilitation training program.

Summary: The study found that cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in young adults. The treatment and management strategies for CSVD-related ICH differ from other causes of ICH.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) and cerebral microbleed (CMB) on outcomes after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). The results showed that patients with different combinations of cSS and CMB have distinct patterns of short-term and long-term outcomes. Although CMB is associated with restrained haematoma, it does not improve long-term outcomes.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of lobar and subcortical intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on the demographics, cerebrovascular risk factors, clinical characteristics, and early outcomes of patients. The results show that lobar ICH is independently associated with early seizures, chronic liver disease, hemianopia, headaches, alcohol abuse, hypertension, sensory deficit, and limb weakness. The in-hospital mortality is higher for lobar ICH compared to subcortical ICH. The study confirms that the site of bleeding in ICH patients significantly impacts their clinical profile, prognosis, and early mortality.

Summary: This study found a significant decrease in daily admissions for ischemic stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic period, with shorter referral times, increased NIHSS scores, and decreased GCS scores.

Summary: This study found that a centralized approach to ICH management and the establishment of a dedicated ICH center in a New York City hospital system increased access to specialist services, including MIS. Most patients undergoing MIS were transferred from outside hospitals, highlighting the need for additional studies and descriptions of experiences to further elucidate the impact of and best protocols for the IHT of ICH patients.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between the APOE genotype, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and neuroimaging markers of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). The results showed that APOE epsilon 2 and epsilon 4 alleles were associated with lobar ICH and CT marker of CAA (FLP).

Summary: The ICH score tends to overestimate mortality in young adults, with ICH volume and GCS score being the most relevant factors in predicting 30-day mortality rates.
