Outcomes Associated with Apixaban Use in End-Stage Kidney Disease Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in the United States.
Conclusions -Among ESKD patients with AF on dialysis, apixaban use may be associated with lower risk of major bleeding compared with warfarin, with a standard 5 mg twice a day dose also associated with reductions in thromboembolic and mortality risk.

Atrial fibrillation and associated outcomes in patients with peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis: a 14-year nationwide population-based study.
CONCLUSION: In patients with ESRD undergoing dialysis, PD had lowered risks of new onset of AF compared to HD. Subsequently, these AF patients in PD group had comparable incidence of ischemic stroke but decreased incidence of hemorrhagic stroke compared to AF patients in HD group. PD could be the most suitable modality in patients at risk for the onset of AF.

Outcomes After Warfarin Initiation in a Cohort of Hemodialysis Patients With Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions In hemodialysis patients with incident AF, warfarin use was marginally associated with reduced risk of ischemic stroke, and there was a signal toward reduced mortality in as-treated analyses. These results support clinical equipoise regarding the use of warfarin in hemodialysis patients and underscore the need for randomized trials to fill this evidence gap.

Editorial Commentary: Anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation in dialysis patients: What is known and what does the future hold?
The association between atrial fibrillation and stroke is well established and, in the general population, anticoagulation with warfarin can reduce the incidence of stroke by 60% with an acceptable bleeding risk.1, 2 Patients who are on hemodialysis have an increased prevalence of atrial fibrillation possibly secondary to comorbid conditions and hemodialysis itself causing dramatic swings in fluid and electrolytes and affecting cardiac dimensions.3 There are also substantially higher rates of ischemic stroke in this population attributable both to frequently co-occurring traditional stroke risk factors as well as the incre...

Apixaban versus No Anticoagulation in Patients Undergoing Long-Term Dialysis with Incident Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with kidney failure and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, treatment with apixaban was not associated with a lower incidence of new stroke, transient ischemic attack, or systemic thromboembolism but was associated with a higher incidence of fatal or intracranial bleeding.

Direct oral anticoagulants in chronic kidney disease: an update
Purpose of review
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are variably eliminated by the kidneys rendering their use potentially problematic in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or necessitating appropriate dose adjustment.
Recent findings
Both observational and limited randomized trial data for DOACs compared with no treatment or with warfarin for patients with atrial fibrillation on maintenance dialysis were recently published. In a randomized trial in patients on hemodialysis, there was no significant difference in vascular calcification between patients who received rivaroxaban with or without vitamin K2 or vi...

Apixaban for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation on Hemodialysis: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: There was inadequate power to draw any conclusion regarding rates of major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding comparing apixaban and warfarin in patients with AF and ESKD on hemodialysis. Clinically relevant bleeding events were approximately 10-fold more frequent than stroke or systemic embolism among this population on anticoagulation, highlighting the need for future randomized studies evaluating the risks versus benefits of anticoagulation among patients with AF and ESKD on hemodialysis.PMID:36335914 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.054990

Cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and stage 4 –5 chronic kidney disease receiving direct oral anticoagulants: a multicenter retrospective cohort study
AbstractThe role of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stage 4 –5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is controversial. Electronic medical records from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved for patients with AF and stage 4–5 CKD receiving oral anticoagulants. Patients were separated into those receiving DOACs (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban) or vitamin K ant agonists (VKA). Primary outcomes included ischemic stroke (IS), systemic thrombosis (SE), major bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, and all-cause dea...

Clinical characteristics of hemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation: The RAKUEN (Registry of atrial fibrillation in chronic kidney disease under hemodialysis from Niigata) study.
CONCLUSIONS: In our hemodialysis patients, AF was a common comorbidity and was independently associated with all-cause death and major bleeding, but not with increased risk of ischemic stroke.

The Atrial Fibrillation Conundrum in Dialysis Patients
Publication date: Available online 23 January 2016 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): An S. De Vriese, Rogier Caluwé, Paolo Raggi The burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the risk of stroke are high in dialysis patients. The decision to use anticoagulation rests heavily on effective risk stratification. As both the pathophysiology of the disease and the response to therapy differ in dialysis, data from the general population cannot be extrapolated. The effect of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) on the risk of stroke in dialysis patients with AF has not been studied in randomized trials. The available observational...

Patients' Characteristics Affect the Survival Benefit of Warfarin Treatment for Hemodialysis Patients with Atrial Fibrillation. A Historical Cohort Study.
CONCLUSION: VKA may provide an early survival benefit; however, this is partially offset later during the follow-up. In addition, heterogeneous risk-benefit profiles were observed among subgroups of dialysis-dependent patients with AF, further emphasizing the complexities of tailoring stroke prevention strategies in this population.

Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation and Antithrombotic Therapy in Hemodialysis Patients: Cross-Sectional Results of the Vienna InVestigation of AtriaL Fibrillation and Thromboembolism in Patients on HemoDIalysis (VIVALDI)
ConclusionsThe prevalence of AF is high amongst HD patients and is associated with age, sex, and distinct comorbidities. Practice patterns of antithrombotic treatment indicate a lack of consensus for stroke prevention in HD patients with AF.

Does Surgical Ablation Energy Source Affect Long-Term Success of the Concomitant Cox Maze Procedure?
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant CM procedures performed with cryothermal energy alone or combined with bipolar radiofrequency ablation are safe and exceedingly effective. The association of cryothermal energy alone with higher rates of sinus rhythm and stroke reduction should be investigated further.
