Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim is to elucidate the mechanisms of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS). During mechanical thrombectomy in the acute phase of cerebral infarction, screening for aortic-origin cerebral infarction will be conducted using intravascular endoscopy. Additionally, transesophageal echocardiography will be performed promptly in the perioperative period. Furthermore, pathological examinations will be conducted on retrieved thrombi and naturally expelled aortic plaque debris. A series of tests to search for the embolic source of cerebral infarction will be performed both prospectively and retrospectively (through chart reviews).

Basic objectives2

Basic objectives -Others

Utilizing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and other advanced diagnostic methods, we aim to achieve a more definitive diagnosis of ESUS.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

In this study, we made definitive diagnoses for thrombectomy cases, excluding those with atherothrombotic brain infarction, through discussions with the brain-heart team (BHT). With the cooperation of intravascular endoscopy and the brain-heart team (BHT), it has become possible to classify cases that were previously diagnosed as embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS), particularly those of aortogenic stroke.

Key secondary outcomes

Using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), we aim to further stratify ESUS cases and move closer to a definitive diagnosis.

Other related information

patients with cerebral infarction are hospitalized and performed emergent mechanical thrombectomy. Excluded atherothrombotic brain infarction, aortic dissection, deteriorating condition, not obtained informed consent, subjects are studied as thrombectomy and angioscopic observation. After that, transesophageal echocardiography will be promptly performed in the perioperative period to assess intracardiac thrombi and patent foramen ovale (PFO). Furthermore, pathology of retrieved thrombi and embolic materials obtained from the periphery of spontaneously ruptured aortic arch plaques will be reviewed. In addition to the standard fixed-stained microscopy, cholesterol crystals within the embolic material are observed under a non-fixed and non-stained state using a polarizing microscope.
