Short- and long-term outcomes in dialysis patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionDialysis patients had significantly higher rates of short- and long-term mortality, short-term life threatening and/or major bleeding, permanent pacemaker implantation, and device failure compared to non-dialysis patients. Careful patient selection who would benefit from TAVI in patients with ESRD requiring dialysis, is necessary to prevent high-rates of post-procedural complications.

610 Infective Endocarditis, Predictors of Mortality and Morbidity
The outcomes of this study is to assess factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with infective endocarditis undergoing surgery and to assess the factors associated with morbidity; namely post operative stroke, renal failure and dialysis, complete heart block and return to theatre.

Effectiveness and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in an Asian Population with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Dialysis: A Population-Based Cohort Study and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsDOACs did not provide benefit over warfarin regarding effectiveness and safety in AF patients undergoing dialysis. The use of OAC was not associated with a lower risk of IS/SE in ESRD AF patients when compared to those without OAC use.

Open Repair of Acute Type A Intramural Hematoma in 3 Patients.
Abstract Acute aortic syndrome encompasses classic aortic dissection and less common aortic phenomena, including intramural hematoma (IMH), a hemorrhage within the aortic media that occurs without a discrete intimal tear. We reviewed our experience with treating acute type A IMH to better understand this acute aortic syndrome. A review of our clinical database identified 1,902 proximal aortic repairs that were performed from January 2006 through December 2018; of these, 266 were for acute aortic syndrome, including 3 (1.1%) for acute type A IMH. Operative technique varied considerably. All IMH repairs involved hem...

Effect of Rivaroxaban or Apixaban in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Stage 4 –5 Chronic Kidney Disease or on Dialysis
ConclusionsCurrent evidence suggests that rivaroxaban or apixaban are safe and at least as effective as warfarin in patients with AF and stage 4 –5 CKD or on dialysis.
