Invasive or Conservative Approach in Elderly Patients with Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion The “overall” benefit with “invasive” strategy comes from the data of observational studies that are prone to selection bias. We believe that there is a need for a large randomised study in the elderly patients regarding management of NSTEMI. Teaser Trials comparing invasive with conservation treatment for elderly patients presenting with NSTEMI are limited resulting in considerable variation in the management of such patients. In the current systematic review, we tried to consolidate the current evidence on these 2 modes of treatment. There was a reduction in mortality with the invasive approach. Howeve...

Clinical Outcomes of Plavix and Generic Clopidogrel for Patients Hospitalized With an Acute Coronary Syndrome Original Articles
Conclusions: Generic clopidogrel was noninferior to Plavix with respect to the composite end point of death and recurrent hospitalization for ACS at 1 year among adults >65 years after an ACS hospitalization. Our findings support generic clopidogrel in ACS, which could lead to substantial healthcare cost savings.

Neovasc touts Tiara TMVR success rate in study
A small study of the Neovasc (NSDQ:NVCN) Tiara transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in high-risk patients revealed a 100% procedural success rate and immediate elimination of mitral regurgitation. Published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, the study also showed no death, myocardial infarction, stroke, major bleeding, or access site complications at 30 days. The twelve patients in the study had had a previous aortic valve replacement. Such patients have been excluded from most TMVR trials because of the potential risks of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction or interaction between the TMVR anch...

The Canadian Community Utilization of Stroke Prevention Study in Atrial Fibrillation in the Emergency Department (C-CUSP ED)
ConclusionAn oral anticoagulation prescription tool was associated with an increase in new oral anticoagulation prescription in the ED, irrespective of whether an atrial fibrillation clinic follow-up was scheduled. The use of an atrial fibrillation clinic was associated with a trend to a higher rate of oral anticoagulation at 6-month follow-up.

Management of Cerebral Vein Thrombosis in a Canadian Tertiary Hospital
Introduction: Cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon cause of stroke and is more likely to affect young adults and children. Women have a three-fold increased risk compared to men, owing to gender specific factors such as oral contraceptive use (OCP), pregnancy, and hormone replacement therapies. The presenting symptoms of CVT are non-specific and include headache, seizure, focal neurological deficits, or coma as the most severe presentation. The rarity and variable symptoms of the disease leads to delayed diagnosis and implementation of treatment. With improved imaging techniques and increased awareness in recent y...

Early versus late clinical outcomes following same day discharge after elective percutaneous coronary intervention: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: In those patients who were discharged from the hospital on the same day following elective PCI, no significant difference was observed in the assessed early versus late clinical outcomes. However, late clinical outcomes resulted in a significantly higher rate of re-hospitalization. Larger studies should confirm this hypothesis.

Optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention: An umbrella review
ConclusionsExtended DAPT may reduce the risk of MI and stent thrombosis but increase major bleeding and death. Whether the effects of extended DAPT are consistent across patient subgroups is unclear, and future SRs should address this knowledge gap. PROSPERO: CRD42016047735.

Aortic root enlargement is safe and reduces the incidence of patient-prosthesis mismatch: A Meta-analysis of early and late outcomes
ConclusionsSurgical ARE is a safe adjunct to AVR in selected patients that does not increase early adverse events and results in less patient-prosthesis mismatch. This strategy allows for a larger valve size at the time of implantation – an important consideration for potential future valve-in-valve procedures in the era of TAVR.
