Neurosurgical intervention in children with ventricular assist devices: A single center case series review
CONCLUSIONS: Perioperative concerns for the anesthesiologist include VAD hemodynamic management, bleeding, VAD thrombosis, and prevention of secondary brain injury. A systematic, multidisciplinary approach to management is paramount to attain favorable outcomes.PMID:34478592 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14287

Impact of atrial fibrillation on the risk of ischemic stroke in patients on hemodialysis: BOREAS-HD3 Study
ConclusionPresent analyses using comprehensive adjustment for multiple confounders, including prior history of ischemic stroke, indicated that AF independently increases the risk of new-onset of ischemic stroke by more than twofold in Japanese HD patients.

Comparison of Healthcare Resource Utilization and Costs between Rivaroxaban and Warfarin for Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation in a Skilled Nursing Facility Setting
ConclusionIn this SNF setting, HCRU and costs were lower among patients with NVAF who were experienced users of rivaroxaban compared with those who were experienced users of warfarin. These findings may help inform clinical decision making to reduce the economic burden of NVAF among older adults in SNFs.

Novel Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices
The gold standard for anticoagulation in patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVADs) is warfarin. However, many patients fail warfarin therapy due to thromboembolic and bleeding events. Warfarin requires regular monitoring and dosage adjustments, and is associated with significant patient time outside recommended therapeutic INR range. Novel oral anticoagulation (NOAC) has been shown to be non-inferior compared to warfarin in stroke prevention with less intracranial hemorrhage in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Comparative effectiveness, safety, and costs of rivaroxaban and warfarin among morbidly obese patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsMorbidly obese AF patients treated with rivaroxaban had comparable risk of ischemic stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding as those treated with warfarin, but lower healthcare resource utilization and costs.

Neurocognitive deficits in older patients with cancer
ConclusionNeurocognitive deficits (MCI and dementia) are more common in older adults with cancer. Factors associated with neurocognitive deficits include high comorbidity, stroke, warfarin use and metastatic cancer. Identification and management of these conditions is of great relevance in the course of cancer therapy.

Cerebrovascular Accidents During Mechanical Circulatory Support Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients on LVAD support. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increases the risk of ischemic stroke, whereas dialysis may increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Although any stroke increases mortality, post-LVAD hemorrhagic stroke was associated with higher mortality compared with ischemic stroke.

A Review of the Use of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Use in Orthotopic Heart Transplantation Recipients
Over 60 years ago, the vitamin K antagonist (VKA) warfarin was approved and remained the only oral anticoagulation agent until recently [1]. Currently, within North America and Europe there are four DOACs available. Dabigatran, first approved in Europe and Canada in 2008, then in the United States of America in 2010, followed by rivaroxaban, apixaban, and most recently edoxaban. The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has been a major advancement and these agents are the preferred to VKAs for many indications [2 –5], including stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), acute treatment and...

Direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin for preventing stroke and systemic embolic events among atrial fibrillation patients with chronic kidney disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that DOAC are as likely as warfarin to prevent all strokes and systemic embolic events without increasing risk of major bleeding events among AF patients with kidney impairment. These findings should encourage physicians to prescribe DOAC in AF patients with CKD without fear of bleeding. The major limitation is that the results of this study chiefly reflect CKD stage G3. Application of the results to CKD stage G4 patients requires additional investigation. Furthermore, we could not assess CKD stage G5 patients. Future reviews should assess participants at more advanced CKD stages. Additio...

Impact of the Number of Anti-Thrombosis Agents in Hemodialysis Patients: BOREAS-HD2 Study
Conclusion: A significant increase in hemorrhagic events by the use of dual or more AP agents and by co-administration of an AP agent and WF in patients on HD should be considered in planning their anti-thrombosis regimen.Kidney Blood Press Res 2017;42:553 –564

Anticoagulation therapy for a LVAD patient with acquired warfarin resistance
AbstractAnticoagulation therapy with warfarin is essential for postoperative management in patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD). In this manuscript, we report the case of a patient who developed warfarin resistance after LVAD implantation. Although we administered a novel anticoagulant drug in addition to warfarin and aspirin therapy, the patient developed a major stroke. The patient needed continuous intravenous heparinization until heart transplantation for approximately 2 years. Meticulous management of anticoagulation therapy is essential for a LVAD with warfarin resistance. To our best knowledge, our ...
