Temporal trends of case-fatality in patients undergoing dual-injection coronary chronic total occlusion recanalization
ConclusionAnnual number of CTO procedures performed in Germany increased from 2009 to 2020 with a concomitant anti-proportional decrease in the case-fatality. Our findings may help to draw more attention to predictors of in-hospital case fatality in patients hospitalized for CTO recanalization.Graphical abstract

Ninety-seven cases of experiences with the left thoracotomy approach for off-pump conventional revascularization: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Left thoracotomy for conventional revascularization is a safe procedure for appropriately selected patients, with few early complications and good early and mid-term results. More cases are ongoing and long-term results are in observation.PMID:36389332 | PMC:PMC9641355 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-22-1162

Long-term cardiovascular outcomes and temporal trends in patients diagnosed with ANCA-associated vasculitis: a Danish nationwide registry study
ConclusionsPatients with AAV are at increased risk of heart failure, atrial-/ventricular arrhythmias, venous thrombotic events, ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Furthermore, patients with AAV were more frequently examined with coronary procedures and underwent more coronary revascularizations. No temporal changes in ischaemic cardiovascular outcomes were observed, albeit the cardiovascular mortality has decreased over time.

A drug safety evaluation of apixaban for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention.
Authors: Gumprecht J, Domek M, Lip GY Abstract Introduction: The non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are changing the landscape for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) and prevention or treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). In patients with AF and concomitant acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the treatment regimen of combined NOACs and P2Y12 inhibitors is gaining popularity. Areas covered: The authors conducted a review of studies published in the last 10 years regarding safety evaluation and effectiveness of apixaban for the treatment of AF and ACS, both alone and in combination with d...

Myocardial Wall Rupture Following tPA Administration: A Case Report and Review of the Literature (P3.270)
Conclusions:Although the frequency of pericarditis, mural hemorrhage and subsequent myocardial rupture after MI is declining following PCI, clinicians should be mindful of this potential complication in tPA treated patients with recent MI. Further, cardiac wall rupture should be considered in patients who develop acute hypotension and bradycardia following tPA administration. The current literature is limited and insufficient to provide generalizable guidance on managing AIS patients with recent MI.Disclosure: Dr. Neu has nothing to disclose.
