Free-floating left atrial ball thrombus after mitral valve replacement with patent coronary artery bypass grafts: successful removal by a right minithoracotomy approach without aortic cross-clamp
We describe a case in a 79-year-old woman with chronic atrial fibrillation and a recent stroke who had undergone mitral valve replacement 25 years previously and coronary artery bypass grafting 5 years previously. Redo cardiac surgery represents a clinical challenge due to a higher rate of peri-operative morbidity and mortality. Median re-sternotomy can be particularly difficult in patients with functioning coronary artery grafts, where the risk of graft injury is a significant concern. Prompt surgical intervention was carried out, and to avoid the challenge of re-sternotomy in this patient with two prior thoracotomies, ...

Impact of pre ‐existing or new‐onset atrial fibrillation on 30‐day clinical outcomes following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Results From The BRAVO 3 Randomized Trial
Conclusions: Prior or new‐onset AF within 30 days of transfemoral TAVR is noted in more than one‐third of patients. Despite greater baseline comorbidities than non‐AF patients, AF was not associated with greater risk of adjusted 30‐day outcomes. In the BRAVO 3 trial, early outcomes were similar regardless of anticoagulant strategy in each group. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Use in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Bioprosthetic Heart Valves/Prior Surgical Valve Repair: A Multicenter Clinical Practice Experience
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1615261This is an observational study to investigate the efficacy and safety of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with bioprosthetic valves or prior surgical valve repair in clinical practice. A total of 122 patients (mean age: 74.1 ± 13.2; 54 females) with bioprosthetic heart valve or surgical valve repair and AF treated with NOACs were included in the analysis. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age >75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke or transient ischemic attack, Vascular disease) and...

Risk factors and outcome of postoperative delirium after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsPatients with POD after TAVR are at increased risk for in-hospital mortality. However, after adjusting for postoperative events and comorbidities, stroke and bleeding, but not POD, are independent mortality predictors.

Midterm outcome of transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement in low to intermediate risk patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
CONCLUSION: In patients at low to intermediate surgical risk, midterm clinical outcomes of TAVR were similar to SAVR in survival and stroke rate, superior in reducing life-threatening bleeding, acute kidney injury, and new-onset atrial fibrillation, but inferior in increasing permanent pacemaker implantation.

Antithrombotic Management After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Survey of Canadian Physicians
Publication date: November 2019Source: Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 35, Issue 11Author(s): Seleman Reza, Natalia Pinilla, Emilie P. Belley-Côté, Kevin J. Um, Serena Sibilio, Madhu K. Natarajan, Richard P. WhitlockAbstractOptimal postprocedural antithrombotic regimen is uncertain after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We developed an online questionnaire on post-TAVR antithrombotic management. After research ethics board approval, we distributed the survey to TAVR implanters across Canada. A total of 24 TAVR implanters from 17 centres responded to the survey for a response rate of 75%. Dual antipla...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus surgical aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis in people with low surgical risk.
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis indicates that, in the short term, TAVI probably has little or no mortality difference compared to SAVR for severe AS in individuals with low surgical risk. Similarly, there is probably little or no difference in risk of stroke, MI, and cardiac death between the two approaches. TAVI may reduce the risk of rehospitalisation, but we are uncertain about the effects on LOS. TAVI reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation, AKI, and bleeding. However, this benefit is offset by the increased risk of PPM implantation. Long-term follow-up data are needed to further assess and validate these outcomes, esp...

Comparison of outcomes of direct-acting oral anticoagulants vs. vitamin K antagonists in patients with bioprosthetic heart valves or valve repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that the use DOACs in patients with AF with bioprosthetic valve replacement or repair is comparatively better than vitamin K antagonists in reducing the risk of bleeding and thrombo-embolic events. Future studies with a randomized design and larger sample sizes are needed to further substantiate these findings.PMID:34355372 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202108_26457
