Abstract:

A 65-year-old man presented with an acute ischaemic stroke due to right posterior cerebral artery occlusion, complicated by episodes of sinus arrest in the absence of intrinsic cardiac disease. His neurological deficits and sinus node dysfunction resolved following mechanical thrombectomy. We believe this to be a novel case where thrombectomy resulted in successful treatment of cerebral ischaemia mediated cardiac autonomic dysfunction.

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
