Journal ArticleDOI
Left atrial appendage occlusion for stroke despite oral anticoagulation (resistant stroke). Results from the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug registry
Ignacio Cruz-González,Rocío González-Ferreiro,Xavier Freixa,Sameer Gafoor,Samera Shakir,Heyder Omran,Sergio Berti,Gennaro Santoro,Joelle Kefer,Ulf Landmesser,Jens Erik Nielsen-Kudsk,Prapa Kanagaratnam,Fabian Nietlispach,Steffen Gloekler,Adel Aminian,Paolo Danna,Marco Rezzaghi,Friederike Stock,Miroslava Stolcova,Luís Paiva,Marco Costa,Xavier Millán,Reda Ibrahim,Tobias Tichelbäcker,Wolfgang Schillinger,Jai-Wun Park,Horst Sievert,Bernhard Meier,Apostolos Tzikas +28 more
TL;DR: Patients with RS undergoing LAAO showed similar safety outcomes to patients without RS, with a significant reduction in stroke/transient ischemic attack and major bleeding events during follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of transesophageal echocardiography before cardioversion in atrial arrhythmias.
Katarzyna Kosmalska,Małgorzata Rzyman,Paweł Miękus,Natasza Gilis-Malinowska,Radosław Nowak,Marcin Fijałkowski +5 more
TL;DR: It was believed that there could be a need for an extension of indications of TEE in vast majority of the patients with atrial arrhythmias, due most often to an unpredictable occurrence of thrombus and potentially disastrous thromboembolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left atrial appendage closure in patients with chronic kidney disease: results from the German multicentre LAARGE registry.
Christian Fastner,Johannes Brachmann,Thorsten Lewalter,Uwe Zeymer,Horst Sievert,Martin Borggrefe,Christoph A. Nienaber,Christian Weiß,Sven T. Pleger,Hüseyin Ince,Jens Maier,Stephan Achenbach,Holger H. Sigusch,Matthias Hochadel,Steffen Schneider,Jochen Senges,Ibrahim Akin +16 more
TL;DR: Despite an increased cardiovascular risk profile of CKD patients, device implantation was safe, and LAAC was associated with effective stroke prevention across all CKD stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing an optimal screening program for unknown atrial fibrillation: a cost-effectiveness analysis.
Mattias Aronsson,Emma Svennberg,Mårten Rosenqvist,Johan Engdahl,Faris Al-Khalili,Leif Friberg,Viveka Frykman,Lars-Åke Levin +7 more
TL;DR: Examining the results of more than two billion simulated screening program designs for unknown atrial fibrillation, seven designs were deemed cost-effective depending on how much the health-care decision makers are prepared to pay for gaining a quality-adjusted life-year (QALY).
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-world survival data of device-related thrombus following left atrial appendage closure: 4-year experience from a single center.
Yuan Bai,Xin Xue,Erich Duenninger,Manuela Muenzel,Lisheng Jiang,Thorsten Keil,Adam Fazakas,Jiangtao Yu +7 more
TL;DR: Optimal implantation without peri-device gap, individual antithrombotic regimens, and careful monitoring with TEE follow-up could be conducive to the prevention of DRT.

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial of Aliskiren in the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Elderly people was presented. But the authors did not discuss the effect of the combination therapy in patients living with systolic hypertension.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment
Harold P. Adams,Birgitte H. Bendixen,L J Kappelle,José Biller,Betsy B. Love,David Lee Gordon,E. Eugene Marsh +6 more
TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.

Dabigatran versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation
Stuart J. Connolly,Michael D. Ezekowitz,John W. Eikelboom,Jonas Oldgren,Amit Parekh,Janice Pogue,Paul A. Reilly,Ellison Themeles,Jeanne Varrone,Susan Wang,Marco Alings,Denis Xavier,Jun Zhu,Rafael Diaz,Basil S. Lewis,Harald Darius,Hans-Christoph Diener,Campbell D. Joyner,Lars Wallentin +18 more
TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, dabigatran given at a dose of 110 mg was associated with rates of stroke and systemic embolism that were similar to those associated with warfarin, as well as lower rates of major hemorrhage.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins
Michel Haïssaguerre,Pierre Jaïs,D. C. Shah,Atsushi Takahashi,Mélèze Hocini,G Quiniou,S. Garrigue,A Le Mouroux,P Le Métayer,Jacques Clementy +9 more
TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apixaban versus Warfarin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Horowitz,Puneet Mohan,Petr Jansky,Basil S. Lewis,Jose Lopez-Sendon,Prem Pais,Alexander Parkhomenko,Jun Zhu,Lars Wallentin +29 more
TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, apixaban was superior to warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism, caused less bleeding, and resulted in lower mortality.
