Early left ventricular assist device-related strokes: Turn up the flow, turn down the embolism?
Despite technical and surgical advances in continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), stroke remains a major complication. In the eighth annual Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support report,1 stroke dominates as the major cause of death between 6  months and 4 years of device support. Previously identified risk factors for stroke in LVAD patients include pump thrombosis, infection, blood pressure, gastrointestinal bleeding, and excessive antithrombotic treatment.

Antiplatelet strategy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: an updated meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The updated meta-analysis presents the evidence that post-TAVR DAPT increases bleeding events, with no benefit in survival and ischemic events, in comparison with SAPT. Nevertheless, it is currently difficult to evaluate by a meta-analysis the effectiveness of DAPT versus SAPT to prevent the valve thrombosis resulting in leaflet dysfunction , due to a limited number of existing publication. Additional RCTs are needed to determine the optimal antiplatelet strategy after TAVR. PMID: 31486613 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant vs Warfarin for Post Cardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: NOACs are associated with a reduction in post-operative LOS, without excess bleeding or other short-term complications, compared to warfarin. These findings support the broader use of NOACs as a safe alternative to warfarin in patients with post-cardiac surgery AF at elevated stroke risk and acceptable bleeding risk.

Outcome of Revascularizing the Left Subclavian Artery via Carotid-Subclavian Bypass
Conclusion Carotid-subclavian bypass surgery is associated with very low risk of death, stroke, or any nerve palsy. Lateral access to the left subclavian artery reduces the risk of phrenic nerve injury.

Outcome of redo surgical aortic valve replacement in patients ≥ 80 years: results from the multicenter RECORD initiative.
CONCLUSIONS: Octogenarians undergoing S-AVR after prior cardiac surgery have similar immediate postoperative outcome to younger patients and their 5-year outcome is excellent. These data suggest that indication to TAVR should not rely only on coexistence of advanced age and history of prior cardiac surgery. PMID: 24036070 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Results of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale with the GORE ® Septal Occluder
Conclusion. PFO closure with the GSO is accompanied by a high technical success rate and closure rates similar to other currently used devices. The incidence of atrial fibrillation was higher than reported with most other devices. This may be a chance finding but warrants further investigation in larger trials. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Early mid-term results of the first 103 cases of multilayer flow modulator stent done under indication for use in the management of thoracoabdominal aortic pathology from the independent global MFM registry.
Conclusion: Increasing sac volume, thrombus or diameter size was not associated with rupture. MFM implantation instigates a process of aortic remodeling involving initial thrombus deposition, which slows between six and twelve months. This Global MFM Registry data has demonstrated the proof of concept of this disruptive technology. PMID: 24356043 [PubMed - in process]

Hybrid Operation for Type B Aortic Dissection Involving Distal Aortic Arch
ConclusionsHybrid operation for Type B aortic dissection involving the distal aortic arch appears safe and effective at mid‐term follow‐up and may extend the application of endovascular repair in the treatment of this pathology.
