Safety of thrombolytic therapy in patients with prosthetic heart valve thrombosis who have high international normalized ratio levels
ConclusionsWe concluded that there was no significant difference between PVT patients presenting with subtherapeutic and high INR levels who received thrombolytic treatments regarding both minor and major bleeding complications as well as response to thrombolysis.

Left atrial appendage exclusion is effective in reducing postoperative stroke after mitral valve replacement
ConclusionsConcurrent LAA exclusion during MVR is a safe and effective way to reduce postoperative ischemic stroke, particularly in patients with AF.

Spontaneous echo contrast, left atrial appendage thrombus and stroke in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
CONCLUSIONS: SEC and LAAT were detected in a relevant number of patients undergoing TAVI. SEC may represent an important risk factor for intraprocedural stroke and increased mortality was observed in patients with LAAT. PMID: 32863242 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of left ventricular assist device implantation in hypercoagulable patients
ConclusionsIn this series, positive laboratory tests for hypercoagulability were common amongst patients undergoing LVAD implantation although few had positive clinical histories. Survival and freedom from thromboembolic complications were comparable to non ‐hypercoagulable patients. Hypercoagulability alone should therefore not serve as a contraindication to LVAD implantation.

Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Almost one third of OHCA patients undergoing PCI die and more than one third of the fatalities are attributable to cardiovascular causes. The burden of ischemic and bleeding complications was consistently higher and the success rates of PCI lower among OHCA as compared to non-OHCA patients.

Outcomes of truncus arteriosus repair and predictors of mortality
Conclusion22q11.2 deletion syndrome was associated with an inverse risk of death despite having more noncardiac comorbidities; this patient subpopulation also had a higher length of stay and increased cost of hospitalization.

Minimally invasive, simplified double ‐layer left atrial appendage closure
AbstractThe left atrial appendage (LAA) has been identified as a site of thrombus formation in the heart and as a source of embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, leading to stroke. Studies suggest that LAA closure may reduce the risk for stroke and the need for anticoagulation; conversely, incomplete closure can increase the stroke risk almost 12 ‐fold. Because open heart surgery is associated with increased risk for subsequent stroke, surgeons generally prefer to close the LAA during heart surgery, as recommended in current atrial fibrillation management guidelines. Building on trends toward minimally invasive ...

Isolated surgical left atrial appendage closure: Revisiting utility and indications in a burgeoning era of percutaneous therapy
ConclusionIt is important to recall the utility of therapies that have been previously used with success for intracardiac thrombi and still remain as viable options.

Thoracic endovascular repair for retrograde acute type A aortic dissection as an alternative choice
ConclusionThoracic endovascular aortic repair could be a useful alternative surgical option for patients with retrograde acute type A aortic dissection with an entry in the descending aorta who are not suitable for conventional open surgery. Careful follow-up of such patients is mandatory.

Cannula migration through an undiagnosed patent foramen ovale and embolic cerebrovascular accident in a patient with femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
We present a case report of a patient with a pulmonary embolus placed on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation who developed venous cannula migration through an undiagnosed patent foramen ovale causing an ischemic stroke due to a thrombus and requiring thrombectomy and device closure of the atrial defect.

Factor Xa inhibitors in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices
ConclusionsFactor Xa inhibitors may be viable treatment options for CF-LVAD patients for whom warfarin therapy has failed. Large prospective studies are necessary to confirm these results.
