Screening over 100 000 patients in 39 general practices in the Netherlands for anticoagulation underprescription in atrial fibrillation: a descriptive, cross-sectional study
Conclusions In this large Dutch study among GPs, we observed 9.8% underprescription of OAC in AF patients. In 76% of the AF patients lacking a prescription for OAC, no documentation for deviating from the guidelines was found. Only in a minority of cases detection of OAC underprescription lead to OAC initiation.

Safety and effectiveness of rivaroxaban for prevention of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: analysis of routine clinical data from four countries
CONCLUSIONS: Incidences of intracranial bleeding were generally lower with rivaroxaban than with SOC, whereas incidences of gastrointestinal and urogenital bleeding were generally higher. The safety profile of rivaroxaban for NVAF in routine practice is consistent with findings from randomized controlled trials and other studies.PMID:36795067 | DOI:10.1080/14740338.2023.2181334

Risk of bleeding complications per different perioperative antithrombotic regimes during carotid endarterectomy: a national registry analysis
CONCLUSION: The effectiveness and safety of DAPT did not differ from single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) in patients undergoing CEA and needs further evaluation in prospective studies. Considering additional data from the literature and guideline recommendations DAPT should be started immediately after stroke until 30 days after CEA followed by SAPT, due to possible reduction in the risk of recurrency.PMID:36031046 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2022.08.020

The WOEST  2 registry : A prospective registry on antithrombotic therapy in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
CONCLUSIONS: Patients on combined oral anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy undergoing PCI are elderly and have both a high bleeding and ischaemic risk. Over time, a NOAC plus clopidogrel became the preferred treatment. The rate of thrombotic and bleeding events was not significantly different between patients on triple or dual therapy or between those on VKAs versus NOACs.PMID:35230636 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-022-01664-0

Major threats to early safety after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a  contemporary cohort of real-world patients
CONCLUSION: A variety of underlying mechanisms and causes form a wide spectrum of major threats affecting early safety in 11.7% of patients undergoing TAVI in a contemporary cohort of real-world patients.PMID:34724147 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-021-01638-8

Antithrombotic therapy in high-risk patients  after percutaneous coronary intervention; study design, cohort profile and incidence of adverse events
CONCLUSION: The high risk for both bleeding and ischaemic events in this cohort of patients with multiple clinical risk factors illustrates the challenges that the cardiologist faces to make a balanced decision on the optimal treatment strategy. This cohort will serve to answer several future research questions about the optimal management of these patients on dual/triple antithrombotic therapy, and the possible value of a wide range of laboratory tests to guide these decisions.PMID:34468944 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-021-01606-2

Reasons for discontinuation of novel oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Conclusion: DOAC discontinuation rates varied significantly and appeared related to drug-specific side effects, patient-initiated discontinuation, and bleeding. We observed longer-term administration of apixaban, suggesting that this drug is better tolerated than dabigatran or rivaroxaban. PMID: 32011180 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Management and outcomes of real-world use of non-vitamin-K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation: experience of a  dedicated NOAC clinic.
CONCLUSIONS: We observed low rates of bleeding and adverse drug reactions. However, rates of mortality and discontinuation were relatively high. These results could possibly be explained by the real-world nature of the data including higher-risk patients. PMID: 31773474 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Left atrial appendage closure in atrial fibrillation patients with prior major bleeding or ineligible for oral anticoagulation.
CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous LAAC may provide an alternative strategy to long-term OAC therapy in AF patients with a high bleeding risk. During follow-up, both ischaemic stroke and recurrent bleeding rates were lower than expected based on the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores respectively.

Frailty score for elderly patients is associated with short-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
CONCLUSIONS: VMS score for frailty is independently associated with short-term mortality and PCI-related SAE in elderly patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI. These results suggest that frailty in elderly patients is an important feature to measure and to be taken into account when developing risk models. PMID: 30771094 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
