Current Use of Oral Anticoagulants and Prognostic Analysis in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Coronary Stenting.
CONCLUSIONS: In real-life AF patients undergoing coronary stenting, guideline-recommended VKA was less used. AF patients had adjusted worse prognosis during 12-month follow-up after discharge. It is of utmost importance to improve the current status of oral anticoagulants use. PMID: 28584203 [PubMed - in process]

Bayer submits application for marketing approval of rivaroxaban for patients with coronary or peripheral artery disease to European Medicines Agency (for specialized target groups only)
The rivaroxaban vascular dose, 2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg once daily, demonstrated a 24% reduction in the combined risk of stroke, cardiovascular death and heart attack / The application for marketing approval is based on the COMPASS study / If approved, the rivaroxaban vascular dose, 2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin low dose once daily, will be the only non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) indicated for this patient population

Antithrombotic treatment in peripheral artery disease.
Abstract This review treats antithrombotic use for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In asymptomatic patients, there are no scientific data to support single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) for primary prophylaxis. In symptomatic PAD, SAPT with aspirin or clopidogrel is indicated. The efficacy of aspirin is controversial. Clopidogrel may be preferred over aspirin. Ticagrelor is not superior to clopidogrel in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events and major adverse limb events, but lowers the risk of ischaemic stroke. In symptomatic PAD, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and aspirin does not prov...

Predictors of Mortality in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (From the Atrial Fibrillation Clopidogrel Trial with Irbesartan for Prevention of Vascular Events ACTIVE a)
The mortality rate of most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) exceeds the stroke rate, but predictors of mortality have not been well defined. The Atrial Fibrillation Clopidogrel Trial with Irbesartan for prevention of Vascular Events (ACTIVE) recruited AF patients who were unsuitable to receive vitamin K-antagonists and were randomized to aspirin alone vs. aspirin plus clopidogrel. We investigated independent predictors of all-cause mortality by multivariable Cox regression analysis and explored interactions with assigned antiplatelet therapy.

Is there a role for oral triple therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes without atrial fibrillation?
CONCLUSION: More potent antithrombotic regimens increase bleeding and should only be considered on an individual basis, after careful risk stratification. Accurate risk stratification of ACS patients, for both ischaemic and bleeding risk, is essential to allow individualised treatment. PMID: 29345587 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Optimal antithrombotic treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: triple therapy is too much!
Abstract Patients with atrial fibrillation who undergo a coronary intervention are eligible for both anticoagulation and (dual) antiplatelet therapy ((D)APT). An optimal balance has to be found to reduce the thromboembolic risk (i.e. stroke, systemic embolism and myocardial infarction) and to minimise the increased risk of bleeding with concomitant use of an anticoagulant and (D)APT. Owing to a lack of evidence, the guideline recommendations are predominantly based on expert opinion. Current evidence indicates that the combination of a non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) and clopidogrel is safer than vitam...

Net clinical benefit of anticoagulation therapy in the elderly patients with atrial fibrillation.
Authors: Palleschi L, Nunziata E Abstract Old age remains one of the strongest risk factors for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is the most effective way to prevent thromboembolic disease in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Until few years ago, aspirin and vitamin-K antagonists (VKAs) were the primary agents used to prevent thromboembolic disease in patients with AF. The approval of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) has now expanded the range of therapeutic agents available to providers. The authors highlight practical considerations regarding the selectio...

Safety and efficacy of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant for atrial fibrillation patients following percutaneous coronary intervention: A bivariate analysis of the PIONEER AF-PCI and RE-DUAL PCI trial
Conclusions A bivariate analysis that simultaneously characterizes both risk and benefit demonstrates that rivaroxaban- and dabigatran-based regimens were both favorable over VKA plus dual antiplatelet therapy among patients with AF undergoing PCI.

Pharmacodynamic safety of clopidogrel monotherapy in patients under oral anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist undergoing coronary stent implantation.
This study enrolled 100 patients on aspirin plus clopidogrel (DAPT-cohort, without indication for VKA) and 100 patients on clopidogrel monotherapy plus phenprocoumon (OAC-cohort) undergoing elective PCI. Platelet reactivity was assessed by impedance aggregometry on day 1 following PCI. Ischemic (death, stroke, or myocardial infarction) and bleeding (BARC 2-5) events within 12 months were compared in a propensity score adjusted model. Platelet reactivity was not different in the OAC- and DAPT-cohort (187 [127-242] vs. 167 [126-218] AU×min; p = 0.23). Overall, 17 ischemic and 34 bleeding events were recorded during follo...

Aspirin —Anticoagulant Combination in Patients with Non Valvular Atrial Fibrillation Commentary on the FFAACS Study Results
AbstractThe prevention of the thromboembolic complications of chronic atrial fibrillation remains a therapeutic challenge because they cannot be completely suppressed by vitamin K antagonists with a target international normalized ratio between 2 and 3. Evaluation of the combination at that international normalized ratio level with antiplatelet therapy was the aim of the placebo-controlled double-blind Fluindione Fibrillation Auriculaire, Aspirine et Contraste Spontan é (FFAACS) study with fluindione (as anticoagulant) and aspirin (100 mg) in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation at high risk of thromboembolic complic...
