Pontine infarction responsible for wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia syndrome
A 68-year-old man with hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, and a mechanical heart valve replacement treated with vitamin K antagonists was admitted for the acute onset of diplopia. Neuro-ophthalmologic examination showed a bilateral exotropia in primary gaze position (wall-eyed) with bilateral adduction deficit that did not improve by convergence (figure, video at Neurology.org/cp). In lateral gaze, a horizontal nystagmus of the abducting eyes appeared. Vertical saccades were normal (video). Pupils were symmetric and reactive to light. Brain MRI with diffusion-weighted images showed an acute pontine ischemic lesion (figure)....

How to define valvular atrial fibrillation?
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers a substantial risk of stroke. Recent trials comparing vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in AF were performed among patients with so-called "non-valvular" AF. The distinction between "valvular" and "non-valvular" AF remains a matter of debate. Currently, "valvular AF" refers to patients with mitral stenosis or artificial heart valves (and valve repair in North American guidelines only), and should be treated with VKAs. Valvular heart diseases, such as mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic insufficiency, do...

Neurological damage after transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared with surgical aortic valve replacement in intermediate risk patients
Conclusions TAVI and SAVR were associated with a similar rate of acute silent ischemic cerebral lesions in intermediate risk patients. Although acute lesions occurred very frequently in both strategies, their cognitive impact was not clinically relevant.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Emergency Trauma Admissions.
CONCLUSION: DOACs in the setting of hemorrhage are a clinical challenge in the traumatological emergency room because of the inadequate validity of the relevant laboratory tests. An emergency antidote is now available only for dabigatran. PMID: 27658470 [PubMed - in process]

Antithrombotic therapy after TAVR.
Abstract Transvascular aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a treatment option in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are inoperable and has recently been evaluated in patients with intermediate surgical risk. The number of procedures is increasing worldwide in parallel with the demographic changes in industrial countries. The risk for cerebral embolism is of main concern and represents a major determinant for prognosis and quality of live after TAVR. The empiric antithrombotic therapy consists of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT); however the risk-benefit of this approach is lacking evidence from ra...

Oral Anticoagulation.
CONCLUSION: The evidence base for anticoagulation over a time frame of several years is inadequate at present, and direct comparative data for the different types of NOAC are not yet available. PMID: 30602410 [PubMed - in process]

Clinical Benefit of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Vitamin K Antagonists in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Bioprosthetic Heart Valves.
Abstract PURPOSE: The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and bioprosthetic heart valve is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the tolerability and effectiveness of treatment with DOACs versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients with AF and a bioprosthetic heart valve in clinical practice. METHODS: Data for this study were sourced from the multicenter, prospectively maintained AF Research Database (NCT03760874), which includes all patients with AF undergoing follow-up at participating centers through outpatient visits every 3-6 months....

New oral anticoagulants versus warfarin in atrial fibrillation after early post-operative period in patients with bioprosthetic aortic valve
CONCLUSIONS: In real-word, NOACs use overcomes the indications provided by guidelines. This study evidenced that NOACs use in patients who developed AF after bioprosthetic AVR was more effective in prevention of thromboembolism and safe in reduction of major bleeding events compared to warfarin.PMID:33744222 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.03.016

Commentary: Direct oral anticoagulants in heart surgery: A  question in need of an answer
The Invited Expert Opinion by Drs Kapadia and Svensson1 is focused on an important clinical challenge of whether direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can be used in patients with bioprosthetic valves who have atrial fibrillation (AF). Recommendations for anticoagulation therapy should focus on potential risks of early postoperative bleeding with DOAC treatment and not only on its long-term superiority over vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in patients with AF, with or without a bioprosthetic valve.

Non-Vitamin K Antagonists versus Warfarin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Bioprosthetic Valves: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Patients with bioprosthetic heart valves and valve repair with concomitant atrial fibrillation are at an increased risk of thromboembolic events.1-5 Until recently, there was a paucity of randomized data to guide the optimal anticoagulation strategy in this patient population. In a prior meta-analysis of 4 randomized studies in patients with atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease, excluding significant mitral stenosis and mechanical valves, there was a significant reduction in the risk of stroke or systemic embolism with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) vs.

Intracerebral hemorrhage under platelet inhibition and oral anticoagulation in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy
Nervenarzt. 2021 Oct 15. doi: 10.1007/s00115-021-01206-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOral anticoagulation in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a therapeutic challenge. The association of cerebral amyloid angiopathy with intracerebral hemorrhage, a high mortality of intracerebral hemorrhage especially under oral anticoagulation and the high risk of recurrent bleeding require a multidisciplinary approach and a thorough risk-benefit analysis. Vitamin K antagonists increase the risk of intracerebral bleeding and the accompanying mortality by 60% and should be avoided if possible or reserved for special clinical s...
