DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2022.0048
Abstract: Importance Cryptogenic strokes constitute approximately 40% of ischemic strokes in young adults, and most meet criteria for the embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Two randomized clinical trials, NAVIGATE ESUS and RESPECT ESUS, showed a… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Herz"
DOI: 10.1007/s00059-019-4805-8
Abstract: The clinical construct of embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS) was first described in 2014. It is defined as cryptogenic ischemic stroke after the exclusion of a lacunar infarct, a significant (≥50%) stenosis of extracranial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00228-022-03280-8
Abstract: BACKGROUND Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are on long-term direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) with low anti-Xa or anti-IIa levels may be at higher risk of recurrent stroke. However, no prospective post-marketing study has investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00508-020-01727-5
Abstract: It is assumed that most cases of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) are of cardioembolic origin. The data about outcome after the treatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for this type of acute ischemic stroke… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2019.04.008
Abstract: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) represents a subgroup of cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CS) distinguished by high probability of an underlying embolic mechanism. There are scarce population-based data regarding the incidence, characteristics and outcomes of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)33026-8
Abstract: The majority of (87%) of strokes are due to ischemic etiology and cardio embolic stroke account for 15-40% of cases. A transesophageal echocardiography is performed to identify potential embolic sources and guide therapy. 61 Year… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)31071-8
Abstract: Implantable loop recorders (ILR) are frequently placed after embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) to monitor for occult atrial fibrillation. High false alerts from ILR have been described in routine monitoring practice. We sought to… read more here.
