This procedure is recommended for the evaluation of most young adults with ischemic stroke. However, several questions about the role of TEE need to be addressed. Large studies that clarify the influence of the results of TEE on management are needed. Additional data about the

The diagnosis of these malformations may be elusive, since classic clinical or radiologic findings may be absent in some patients. The authors report a patient with Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome with cerebral ischemia who had normal findings from a pulmonary examination and chest roentgenogram. An ultrafast computed tomography scan of the chest demonstrated, however, a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in the right upper lobe that was successfully resected. Ultrafast computed tomography of the chest is a relatively noninvasive method of screening for a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in a patient with Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome and otherwise unexplained neurologic symptoms.

Atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI) was diagnosed in 59 (27.7%) patients, 53 (24.9%) had non-atherosclerotic vasculopathies (NAV); 46 (21.6%) had cardioembolic infarcts (CEI). Hematologically related disorders were diagnosed in 30 (14.1%) patients; the cause of CI could not be established in 25 (11.7%) patients. Fourteen patients (9 men, 5 women, mean age 34.8 years), (6.6%) died within thirty days of their CI: 7 had CEI (7/46,15.2%); 4 had ACI (4/59, 6.7%); and 3 had NAV (3/53, 5.6%). Our data suggest that young patients with acute CI have a thirty-day mortality rate lower than older patients. Deaths were most common in patients with CEI. Brain edema and herniation accounted for 6 (43%) of the deaths.

Until recently, no clinical trial testing a treatment for ischemic stroke had demonstrated efficacy in outcome. Design problems of previously conducted trials with inconclusive results may partly explain their failures. During the design of TOAST, the investigators addressed several issues so the trial could test the treatment accurately. We report the strategies used in designing, implementing, and coordinating the trial.
