Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

New Data From Two Large Studies Reinforce Effectiveness of Dual Pathway Inhibition (DPI) with XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and/or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
RARITAN, N.J., May 23, 2022 – Findings from the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Phase 3 COMPASS Long-Term Open Label Extension (LTOLE) study and the XARELTO® in Combination with Acetylsalicylic Acid (XATOA) registry have been published in the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Additionally, the XATOA registry was presented at the American Congress of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session (ACC.22). These studies provide further evidence supporting the role of dual pathway inhibition (DPI) with the XARELTO® vascular dose (2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg...

Age-Dependence of Flow Homeostasis in the Left Ventricle
Conclusions: In average, blood spends 1 to 3 beats inside the LV with very low shear stress rates. The apical region is the most prone to blood stasis, particularly in mid-aged adults. The washout of blood in the normal LV is age-dependent due to physiological changes in the degree of apical penetration of the filling waves. Introduction Cardioembolic stroke is a major source of mortality and disability worldwide and blood stasis one of its major determinants (Adams et al., 1986). Left ventricular (LV) function has evolved to maximize mechanical efficiency and ensure organ perfusion at a low cost of energy and fill...

Postoperative warfarin following mitral valve repair or bioprosthetic valve replacement.
CONCLUSION: The use of postoperative warfarin following MVR does not reduce the incidence of stroke at early follow up. However, there remains a trend for improved long-term outcomes in those patients receiving postoperative warfarin therapy. PMID: 24383387 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Thirty-Day Outcomes in 100 Consecutive Patients Undergoing Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement With the Portico Valve on an All-Comer Basis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our immediate and 30-day post-TAVR results support favorable survival comparable to other studies, and significant clinical improvement with the Portico valve in non-selected patients in a real-world setting, with short-term complications being uncommon.

Is oral anticoagulation effective in preventing transcatheter aortic valve implantation failure? A propensity matched analysis of the Italian Transcatheter balloon-Expandable valve Registry study
Conclusion After TAVI with Edwards Sapien valve OAT did not reduce the incidence of valve dysfunction and stroke but was responsible for mortality and bleeding increases.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation With the Edwards SAPIEN Versus the Medtronic CoreValve Revalving System Devices A Multicenter Collaborative Study: The PRAGMATIC Plus Initiative (Pooled-RotterdAm-Milano-Toulouse In Collaboration)
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare outcomes after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the Medtronic CoreValve (MCV) versus the Edwards SAPIEN/SAPIEN XT transcatheter heart valve (ESV) for severe aortic stenosis.BackgroundNo large matched comparison study has been conducted so far evaluating both commercially available devices.MethodsThe data from databases of 4 experienced European centers were pooled and analyzed. Due to differences in baseline clinical characteristics, propensity score matching was performed. Study objectives were Valve Academic Research Consortium outcomes at 30 days an...

Early clinical outcome of aortic transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation in the Nordic countries
Conclusions: Transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation is widely performed, albeit in small numbers, in most centers in the Nordic countries. The short-term results were excellent in this high-risk patient population, demonstrating a low incidence of device- or procedure-related complications. However, a considerable number of patients were left with suboptimal systolic valve performance with unknown long-term effects, warranting close surveillance after transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation.

Excellent Outcomes for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Within 1 Year of Opening a Low-Volume Centre and Consideration of Requirements
Conclusions Excellent outcomes can be achieved in newly initiated relatively low-volume centres, which compares favorably to previously published large series. Important considerations include appropriate team training, rigorous patient screening, use of multimodality imaging techniques, a heart team approach, constant integration of lessons learned from larger published experiences, and maintaining a recommended minimum volume of 25 cases per year.

Single-centre experience with next-generation devices for transapical aortic valve implantation ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS In a real-world clinical setting, next-generation transapical THV yielded positive haemodynamic results. The incidence of relevant paravalvular regurgitation was scarce in this group and clinical outcomes were encouraging during short-term follow-up. Long-term follow-up is required to investigate the durability of these new devices.

TAVI: Boston Scientific’s Lotus valve tops Medtronic’s CoreValve – study
Data from a study of Boston Scientific‘s (NYSE:BSX) Lotus Valve showed a greater device success rate than Medtronic‘s (NYSE:MDT) CoreValve in high-risk transcatheter aortic valve replacement patients. The single-center, non-randomized study, published this month in the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, compared outcomes from 50 high-risk TAVI patients treated with the Lotus valve and 50 similar patients treated with Medtronic’s self-expanding CoreValve device. Success rates were higher at 30 days in the Lotus group, at 84%, versus 64% with CoreValve, according to the study.  These results...
