Impact of early ablation of atrial fibrillation on long-term outcomes: results from phase II/III of the GLORIA-AF registry
ConclusionsEarly AF ablation in a contemporary prospective cohort of AF patients who were predominantly treated with NOACs was associated with a survival advantage compared to medical therapy alone.Trial registrationClinical trial registration:http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifiers: NCT01468701, NCT01671007 and NCT01937377.Graphical abstractCreated with BioRender.com.

Dabigatran versus vitamin K antagonists for atrial fibrillation in clinical practice: final outcomes from Phase III of the GLORIA-AF registry
ConclusionsDabigatran was associated with a 39% reduced risk of major bleeding and 22% reduced risk for all-cause death compared with VKA. Stroke and myocardial infarction risks were similar, confirming a more favorable benefit-risk profile for dabigatran compared with VKA in clinical practice.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.clinicaltrials.gov. NCT01468701, NCT01671007.Graphical abstract

Comparative effectiveness and safety of non-vitamin K antagonists for atrial fibrillation in clinical practice: GLORIA-AF Registry
ConclusionsPatients treated with dabigatran had a 41% lower risk of major bleeding compared with rivaroxaban, but similar risks of stroke, MI, and death. Relative to apixaban, patients treated with dabigatran had similar risks of stroke, major bleeding, MI, and death. Rivaroxaban relative to apixaban had increased risk for major bleeding, but similar risks for stroke, MI, and death.RegistrationURL:https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Clinical risk predictors in atrial fibrillation patients following successful coronary stenting: ENTRUST-AF PCI sub-analysis
ConclusionAfter PCI in AF patients, increasing CHA2DS2-VASc score was associated with increased bleeding rates and CHA2DS2-VASc score ( ≥ 5) predicted the occurrence of stent thrombosis. Paroxysmal AF was associated with MI. These findings may have important clinical implications in AF patients.

Anti-thrombotic strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing PCI
AbstractTriple anti-thrombotic therapy combining oral anticoagulation and dual anti-platelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with atrial fibrillation was considered as standard and recommended by guidelines. While bleeding risk is considerable with that approach, data for efficacy are scare. Several trials assessed the possibility of reducing anti-thrombotic treatment by mainly shortening the exposure to acetylsalicylic acid. Dropping one of the anti-platelet components might increase the risk of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction or stroke. Despite that fear, the recent trials ’ pri...

Effect of concomitant antiplatelet agents on clinical outcomes in the edoxaban vs warfarin in subjects undergoing cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (ENSURE-AF) randomized trial
ConclusionIn ENSURE-AF, thromboembolic events were rare and absolute bleeding event rates were higher with concomitant APT. These findings may be relevant for AF-patients considered for dual therapy; even for a short treatment duration of 1 month.

Edoxaban versus warfarin in vitamin K antagonist experienced and na ïve patients from the edoxaban versus warfarin in subjects undergoing cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (ENSURE-AF) randomised trial
ConclusionsEdoxaban had comparable efficacy and safety to optimized anticoagulation with enox –warf. The primary efficacy and safety endpoint outcomes were broadly similar between VKA experienced or naïve patients.

Antithrombotic therapy in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: should we change our practice after the PIONEER AF-PCI and RE-DUAL PCI trials?
AbstractThe number of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasing. Since these patients have a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1 or higher, they should be treated with oral anticoagulation to prevent stroke. However, combination therapy with oral anticoagulation for prevention of embolic stroke and dual platelet inhibition for prevention of coronary thrombosis significantly increases bleeding complications. The optimal combination, intensity and duration of antithrombotic combination therapy is still not known. In the rather small randomized WOEST trial, the combination of a vi...

NOAC monotherapy in patients with concomitant indications for oral anticoagulation undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that NOAC therapy without additional antiplatelet treatment is effective and safe in patients with concomitant indications for OAC undergoing TAVI.

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in the cardioversion of patients with atrial fibrillation: systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that NOACs may be as safe as VKAs in the setting of AF cardioversion.

Renal function and non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants in comparison with warfarin on safety and efficacy outcomes in atrial fibrillation patients: a systemic review and meta-regression analysis
Conclusion Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants had similar efficacy and safety compared to warfarin across different levels of renal function. Indirect comparisons suggest that apixaban and edoxaban were associated with a better safety profile in patients with moderate renal impairment. However, caution is warranted when interpreting indirect comparisons of drugs investigated in different trials. Prescribers should fit the most appropriate NOAC to the AF patient characteristics (and vice versa) to individualise effective stroke prevention.
