Coronary artery bypass grafting versus stent implantation in patients with chronic coronary syndrome and left main disease: insights from a register throughout Germany
ConclusionLeft main stenting is a safe and effective treatment option for CCS-patients suffering from left main coronary artery disease at reasonable economic cost.Graphic abstractCoronary artery bypass grafting versus stent implantation in patients with chronic coronary syndrome and left main disease: insights from a register throughout Germany. All cases with chronic coronary syndrome and left main stenosis treated in 2018 in Germany either with left main stenting or coronary bypass grafting were extracted from a nation-wide database. In-hospital outcomes were compared after logistic regression analysis.

In-hospital outcomes of self-expanding and balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valves in Germany
ConclusionsWe find broadly equivalent outcomes in contemporary TF-TAVR procedures, regardless of the valve type used. Incidence of major complications is very low for both types of valve.

Impact of HAS-BLED Score on outcome after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure: insights from the German Left Atrial Appendage Occluder Registry LAARGE
ConclusionThe present data show that patients had similarly low rates of ischemic complications 1  year after LAA closure irrespective of the baseline bleeding risk. Higher HAS-BLED scores were associated with increased mortality due to higher age and more severe comorbidity of these patients.

Digitalis therapy is associated with higher comorbidities and poorer prognosis in patients undergoing ablation of atrial arrhythmias: data from the German Ablation Registry
ConclusionIn the present study of patients undergoing catheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias, an association of digitalis therapy with increased mortality and an increased rate of other severe adverse events were observed. The results from this ‘real-life’ registry are consistent with previously published studies. However, whether digitalis therapy promotes a poorer prognosis or may just serve as a marker for this aspect cannot be thoroughly interpreted.

Uptake in antithrombotic treatment and its association with stroke incidence in atrial fibrillation: insights from a large German claims database
ConclusionBetween 2011 and 2016, the use of guideline-conform antithrombotic therapy in Germany has significantly increased. This was associated with a significant decline in strokes without an increased incidence of bleeding complications.

Risk factors and outcome of postoperative delirium after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsPatients with POD after TAVR are at increased risk for in-hospital mortality. However, after adjusting for postoperative events and comorbidities, stroke and bleeding, but not POD, are independent mortality predictors.
