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

When and How to Combine Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Drugs?
Hamostaseologie. 2022 Feb;42(1):73-79. doi: 10.1055/a-1724-4922. Epub 2022 Feb 23.ABSTRACTAntiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs work at different places in the coagulation system. Antiplatelet drugs are usually indicated in patients with atherosclerosis. Anticoagulant drugs are mostly used in patients with atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, or technical heart valves. In some clinical situations, combination of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy can be indicated. The most recent situations are a more intensive antithrombotic therapy for risk reduction in patients with atherosclerosis and temporary addition of a...

Impact of left ventricle outflow tract calcification on the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A study ‐level meta‐analysis
ConclusionThe presence of significant LVOT calcification increases the risk of periprocedural and 1-year mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, PVL and aortic annulus/root rupture after TAVI. Self-expandable valves may be a preferrable option in this scenario. Structural heart surgeons and interventional cardiologists should consider this factor when referring patients for TAVI and technical aspects (such as the type of transcatheter heart valve to be deployed or the use of pre-/post-dilatation) should be factored in.

Atrial Fibrillation after Rheumatic Heart Valve Surgery: Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes
CONCLUSION: This study identifies risk factors associated with the development of atrial fibrillation after rheumatic valve heart surgery. Older patients, male gender, type of surgery, preoperative AF, BMI, EF before surgery, and LA diameter are independent predictors of AF after cardiac valve surgery.PMID:35108734 | DOI:10.1055/s-0041-1740985

Heart valve surgery and the obesity paradox: A systematic review
SummaryObesity has been associated with increased incidence of comorbidities and shorter life expectancy, and it has generally been assumed that patients with obesity should have inferior outcomes after surgery. Previous literature has often demonstrated equivalent or even improved rates of mortality after cardiac surgery when compared to their lower-weight counterparts, coined the obesity paradox. Herein, we aim to review the literature investigating the impact of obesity on surgical valve interventions. PubMed and Embase were systematically searched for articles published from 1 January 2000 to 15 October 2021. A total o...
