Percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure using the Occlutech Figulla device: More than 1,300 patient ‐years of follow up
ConclusionThe Occlutech device appears to be safe at long ‐term FU with a very low annual cerebrovascular event rate and a low moderate to large shunt rate at 1‐year FU.

Clinical implications for diffusion‐weighted MRI brain lesions associated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used to treat patients with aortic stenosis deemed high or extreme surgical risk candidates. Despite improved survival and quality of life following the procedure, TAVR is not without its complications. Stroke is a major source of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing the procedure, with rates similar to and often higher than those associated with surgery. Most studies show a consistent link between TAVR and embolic lesions visualized on diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The question of whether these lesions lead to long‐term cognitive ...

The presence of angiographic collaterals in non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction is a predictor of long‐term clinical outcomes
Conclusions: In patients with NSTEMI the presence of angiographic coronary collaterals is a predictor of long‐term clinical outcomes primarily driven by increased rates of surgical revascularization. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The management of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation: In‐hospital‐data from the Atrial Fibrillation undergoing Coronary Artery Stenting (AFCAS) study
ConclusionsThe majority of AF patients undergoing PCI‐S are at high stroke risk, and therefore VKA treatment should not be withdrawn and combined anticoagulant and antiplatelet treatment is warranted. Current management appears largely in accordance with current recommendations, whereby accounting for the limited occurrence of in‐hospital adverse ischemic and bleeding events. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The management of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation
Current recommendations on the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent (PCI‐S) essentially derive from small, single‐center, retrospective datasets. To obtain larger and better quality data, we carried out the prospective, multicenter Atrial Fibrillation undergoing Coronary Artery Stenting (AFCAS) study. Therefore, consecutive patients with history of or ongoing AF undergoing PCI‐S were enrolled, and occurrence of adverse ischemic and bleeding events recorded during 12 months follow‐up. In this article, we report the in‐hospital observations. O...

Cost‐effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention with drug‐eluting stents in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease compared to coronary artery bypass surgery 5 years after intervention
Conclusions. Cost‐effectiveness analysis of DES‐PCI vs. CABG demonstrated that CABG is the most effective, but most costly, treatment for preventing MACCE in patients with multivessel disease. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tablet Computers Address Limitations of Telestroke Systems (S5.003)
CONCLUSIONS: Although tablet computers do not provide all of the features of fixed systems such as far end camera control, their portability allows them to be positioned near patients, with the quality of both video and audio suitable for telestroke consultation. Utilizing the newest generation of cellular networks, such devices may be used either over those networks or WiFi networks. This can allow operation even in the situation of failure of hospital based networking.Disclosure: Dr. Rudolph has received personal compensation for activities with Genentech Inc.

Efficacy and safety of routine thrombus aspiration in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: An updated systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsCompared with conventional PPCI for STEMI, adjunctive TA reduces the risk of subsequent MACE. However, the benefit in MACE is counterbalanced by an increased risk in stroke. Considering the above potential risks and benefits, TA should be considered in selected patients lesions rather than routinely. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Assisted care as a baseline patient risk characteristic affecting the outcome of transcatheter aortic valve insertion
ConclusionsAssisted care as a baseline patient characteristic does not result in increased operative stroke/death or 1‐year mortality in patients following transcatheter aortic valve insertion. Assisted care should not by itself preclude operation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Stable blood sugar linked to heart stent outcomes
Patients with type 2 diabetes and a coronary stent are at lower risk for heart attack and stroke if they maintain good blood sugar control, according to a recent study. “Although intensive glucose control had no benefit on the rate of major cardiovascular events in previous studies, our data suggest that strict glucose control after PCI (heart catheterization) can improve long-term clinical outcomes in diabetic patients,” Dr. Joo-Yong Hahn from Samsung Medical Center in Seoul said in an interview with Reuters Health. Researchers looked at 980 patients with type 2 diabetes and a stent, examining long-term bloo...

Impact of pre ‐existing or new‐onset atrial fibrillation on 30‐day clinical outcomes following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Results From The BRAVO 3 Randomized Trial
Conclusions: Prior or new‐onset AF within 30 days of transfemoral TAVR is noted in more than one‐third of patients. Despite greater baseline comorbidities than non‐AF patients, AF was not associated with greater risk of adjusted 30‐day outcomes. In the BRAVO 3 trial, early outcomes were similar regardless of anticoagulant strategy in each group. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Duration of dual antiplatelet therapy following drug ‐eluting stent implantation: A systemic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials with longer follow up
ConclusionsIn the present analysis of RCTs with longer follow up (2 years or longer), S‐DAPT compared with L‐DAPT, was associated with higher rate of MI and lower rate of major bleeding without any significant difference in the rates of all cause mortality, cardiac mortality, ST, TVR, and stroke.
