019 * is antiplatelet therapy required in heartmate ii patients? preliminary results from the european trace study
Conclusion: This preliminary analysis of the observational TRACE-EU study suggests that managing HMII patients with a vitamin K antagonist without aspirin may help to reduce the incidence of major bleeding without increasing the risk of thrombo-embolic events including ischaemic stroke and device thrombosis. Further prospective studies are needed.

Five-year outcomes of staged percutaneous coronary intervention in the SYNTAX study.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a higher incidence of MACCE in patients undergoing staged compared to single-session PCI for 3-vessel and/or left main disease over the first five years of follow-up. However, these patients had more comorbidities and more diffuse disease. PMID: 25912390 [PubMed - in process]

The Subclavian Intraaortic Balloon Pump: A Compelling Bridge Device for Advanced Heart Failure
Conclusions The SC-IABP provided excellent hemodynamic support with minimal morbidity and mortality, allowed for extensive rehabilitation, and permitted more than 90% of patients to receive their intended therapy. Therefore, SC-IABP is a compelling bridge device for patients with advanced congestive heart failure.

A novel approach to extraction of a large thrombus on the intraventricular guide‐wire during transcatheter aortic valve replacement
We report a case where a large guide‐wire thrombus identified during TAVR was successfully removed using a novel approach, preventing a potentially major stroke in this high‐risk patient. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Exclusion of the left atrial appendage with the TigerPaw II system: a word of caution
We describe herein our experience with the recently introduced TigerPaw II system for LAA exclusion, and report a high prevalence of device malfunction. Design improvements may address these issues and increase safety for new technological devices designed for surgical LAA closure.

Meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing percutaneous coronary intervention with aspiration thrombectomy Vs. Conventional percutaneous coronary intervention during ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction
ConclusionsUsing the totality of evidence available through 2015, this meta‐analysis failed to show that the routine use of aspiration thrombectomy in patients with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction significantly reduces all‐cause mortality, MACE, recurrent MI, TVR, or stent thrombosis. The role of aspiration thrombectomy in selected patients with angiographic evidence of large thrombus burden requires further clinical investigation. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion: Effect of device positioning on outcome
ConclusionsNo evidence for a difference in the occurrence of the safety and efficacy endpoint was found between patients with complete vs. incomplete ACP disc coverage of the LAA ostium. The risk of repositioning attempts in case of incomplete coverage does not seem to be warranted. Current findings need further confirmation in a larger scale clinical trial. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Clinical outcomes associated with per ‐operative discontinuation of aspirin in patients with coronary artery disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Conclusion: Our analysis suggests that planned short‐term discontinuation in the appropriate clinical setting appears to be safe in the correct clinical setting with no increased risk of thrombotic events and with a decreased risk of bleeding. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surgical Treatment for Thrombus Straddling a Patent Foramen Ovale
We present a case of a 41-year-old female with deep vein thrombosis after abdominal surgery. The patient quickly developed severe pulmonary embolism and stroke representative of paradoxical embolism. Echocardiography showed a thrombus straddling a patent foramen ovale, which was confirmed intraoperatively. An accurate diagnosis and rapid treatment decisions are crucial for preventing patient deterioration in the form of new pulmonary embolisms or stroke.
