Correlation of von Willebrand factor and platelets with acute ischemic stroke etiology and revascularization outcome: an immunohistochemical study

Abstract: BackgroundPlatelets and von Willebrand factor (vWF) are key components of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) emboli. We aimed to investigate the CD42b (platelets)/vWF expression, its association with stroke etiology and the impact these components may have on the clinical/procedural parameters.MethodsCD42b/vWF immunostaining was performed on 288 emboli collected as part of the multicenter STRIP Registry. CD42b/VWF expression and distribution were evaluated. Student’s t-test and χ2 test were performed as appropriate.R… Show more

“…It is possible that toward cessation of bleeding, it is advantageous for the earliest bound platelets to be hypercontractile and that F-actin fibers formed through the center of the platelet enable maximal forces. Additionally, these F-actin structural and functional differences could be important in clots of different protein content and protein organization, such as the fibrin(ogen)-rich outer shell observed in acute ischemic stroke thrombi (43) and the distribution of VWF within a thrombi that is associated with stroke etiology and revascularization outcome (44).…”

“…The development and integration of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have provided the opportunity to study clots retrieved via mechanical thrombectomy (MT), allowing previously unanswered questions about clot composition and stroke etiology to be explored. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Moreover, there has been a growing interest in understanding the factors responsible for the effectiveness of pharmacological and endovascular treatment. 7,8 In general, thrombi have different compositions based on the thrombotic disorder: arterial thrombi obtained from patients with myocardial infarction contain mainly fibrin and other components such as platelets, red blood cells (RBCs), leukocytes, and cholesterol crystals while venous thrombi are composed of RBCs and fibrin with sparse platelets and leukocytes.…”
