JOURNAL ARTICLE
Raissa Villanueva, Neil A Busis, Bruce H Cohen, Luana Ciccarelli
Landmark changes to documenting and coding for office or other outpatient evaluation and management (E/M) codes were implemented on January 1, 2021. To decrease clinicians' administrative burden, many documentation requirements were eliminated. In addition, major changes were made in how medical decision making and time spent on the date of the encounter are used to determine the level of service. On January 1, 2023, these changes were extended to inpatient and observation E/M services. The level of service in both inpatient and outpatient settings can now be selected based on the total time dedicated to the patient's care on the day of the encounter or the new method of medical decision making...

REVIEW
Michael W O'Dell
OBJECTIVE: Up to 50% of the nearly 800,000 patients who experience a new or recurrent stroke each year in the United States fail to achieve full independence afterward. More effective approaches to enhance motor recovery following stroke are needed. This article reviews the rehabilitative principles and strategies that can be used to maximize post-stroke recovery. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: Evidence dictates that mobilization should not begin prior to 24 hours following stroke, but detailed guidelines beyond this are lacking...

#7
REVIEW
Thanh Ngoc Nguyen
OBJECTIVE: Managing a patient with an unruptured brain aneurysm or brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can lead to uncertainty about preventive treatment. While the bleeding risks are low, the morbidity or mortality associated with a hemorrhagic event is not insignificant. The objective of this article is to review the natural history of these vascular entities, the risk factors for hemorrhage, preventive treatment options, and the risks of treatment. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: Randomized trials to inform preventive treatment strategies for unruptured intracranial aneurysms and brain AVMs are ongoing...

REVIEW
Christine Fox
OBJECTIVE: Pediatric cerebrovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death and disability in children. Survivors of childhood stroke and their families are often left to cope with long-lasting sequelae, such as barriers to school reentry and long-term challenges in attaining independence as adults. Because childhood stroke is rare and providers may not be familiar with the disorder, this article reviews the risk factors, acute management, and sequelae of ischemic stroke in children...

REVIEW
Setareh Salehi Omran
OBJECTIVE: Cervical artery dissection is a common cause of stroke in young adults. This article reviews the pathophysiology, etiology and risk factors, evaluation, management, and outcomes of spontaneous cervical artery dissection. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: Cervical artery dissection is believed to be a multifactorial disease, with environmental factors serving as possible triggers in patients who have a genetic predisposition to dissection formation. Cervical artery dissection can cause local symptoms or ischemic events, such as ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack...

REVIEW
Ava L Liberman
OBJECTIVE: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), thrombosis of the dural sinus, cerebral veins, or both, is a rare cerebrovascular disease. Although mortality rates after CVT have declined over time, this condition can result in devastating neurologic outcomes. This article reviews the latest literature regarding CVT epidemiology, details new factors associated with the development of CVT, and describes advances in CVT treatment. It also contains a discussion of future directions in the field, including novel diagnostic imaging modalities, and potential strategies to reduce the risks associated with CVT...

REVIEW
Anjail Sharrief
OBJECTIVE: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common neurologic condition that contributes to considerable mortality and disability because of its impact on ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke risk and dementia. While attributes of the disease have been recognized for over two centuries, gaps in knowledge remain related to its prevention and management. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge for CSVD. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: CSVD can be recognized by well-defined radiographic criteria, but the pathogenic mechanism behind the disease is unclear...

REVIEW
Seemant Chaturvedi
OBJECTIVE: Ischemic stroke due to large vessel atherosclerosis is a significant cause of stroke globally. With the aging population, the number of people with atherosclerotic stroke will increase in the coming decades. This article reviews the recent developments in the assessment and treatment of extracranial and intracranial atherosclerotic disease. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: More intensive dual antiplatelet therapy can now be recommended for patients with transient ischemic attack or stroke...

REVIEW
Shadi Yaghi
OBJECTIVE: Cardioembolic stroke accounts for nearly 30% of ischemic strokes. Prompt diagnosis of the underlying mechanism may improve secondary prevention strategies. This article reviews recent randomized trials, observational studies, case reports, and guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of cardioembolic stroke. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: Several pathologies can lead to cardioembolic stroke, including atrial fibrillation, aortic arch atheroma, patent foramen ovale, left ventricular dysfunction, and many others...

REVIEW
Sunil A Sheth
OBJECTIVE: Endovascular stroke therapy has greatly improved the ability to treat the deadliest and most disabling form of acute ischemic stroke. This article summarizes some of the recent innovations in this field and discusses likely future developments. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: At present, there is robust activity to improve all facets of care for patients with large vessel occlusion stroke, including better prehospital routing, more efficient in-hospital screening, expanding indications for thrombectomy eligibility, innovating novel thrombectomy devices, and improving the effects of recanalization on clinical outcomes...

REVIEW
James C Grotta
OBJECTIVE: This article reviews the history of IV thrombolysis, its current indications and implementation, the duality of the "time is brain" versus "tissue clock" approaches, the impact of endovascular thrombectomy on IV thrombolysis, the emergence of tenecteplase, and future research directions. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: The growing use of factor Xa inhibitors has increasingly caused patients with stroke to be excluded from treatment with IV thrombolysis. Important geographic, socioeconomic, sex, race, and ethnic disparities have been identified in the implementation of IV thrombolysis and need to be overcome...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
James F Meschia
OBJECTIVE: Precise therapies require precise diagnoses. This article provides an evidence-based approach to confirming the diagnosis of ischemic stroke, characterizing comorbidities that provide insights into the pathophysiologic mechanisms of stroke, and identifying targets for treatment to optimize the prevention of recurrent stroke. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: Identifying the presence of patent foramen ovale, intermittent atrial fibrillation, and unstable plaque is now routinely included in an increasingly nuanced workup in patients with stroke, even as ongoing trials seek to clarify the best approaches for treating these and other comorbidities...
