Dual antiplatelet therapy versus oral anticoagulation plus dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and low-to-moderate thromboembolic risk undergoing coronary stenting: Design of the MUSICA-2 randomized trial
Conclusions: The MUSICA-2 will attempt to determine the most effective and safe treatment in patients with nonvalvular AF and CHADS2 score ≤2 after PCI-S. Restricting TT for AF patients at high risk for stroke may reduce the incidence of bleeding without increasing the risk of thromboembolic complications.

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of an Edoxaban-based Antithrombotic Regimen in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Following Successful Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with Stent Placement: Rationale and Design of the ENTRUST-AF PCI Trial
Publication date: Available online 23 October 2017 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Pascal Vranckx, Thorsten Lewalter, Marco Valgimigli, Jan G. Tijssen, Paul-Egbert Reimitz, Lars Eckardt, Hans-Joachim Lanz, Wolfgang Zierhut, Rüdiger Smolnik, Andreas Goette Background The optimal antithrombotic treatment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. In the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial, edoxaban was non-inferior to a vitamin-K antagonist (VKA) with respect to the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism and was associated with significantly lower rate...

An Open-label, 2 x 2 Factorial, Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety of Apixaban vs. Vitamin K Antagonist and Aspirin vs. Placebo in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome and/or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Rationale and Design of the AUGUSTUS Trial
Publication date: Available online 9 March 2018 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Renato D. Lopes, Amit N. Vora, Danny Liaw, Christopher B. Granger, Harald Darius, Shaun G. Goodman, Roxana Mehran, Stephan Windecker, John H. Alexander The optimal antithrombotic strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who develop acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or the need for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is uncertain. The risk of bleeding is a major concern when oral anticoagulation is required to prevent stroke and concomitant therapy with antiplatelet agents is required to minimize recurrent ischemic even...

The outcome of intra-aortic balloon pump support in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock according to the type of revascularization: A comprehensive meta-analysis
Aims: Despite the recommendations of the current guidelines, scientific evidence continue to challenge the effectiveness of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock. Moreover, 2 recent meta-analyses showed contrasting results. The aim of this study is to test the effect of IABP according to the type of therapeutic treatment of AMI: percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), thrombolytic therapy (TT), or medical therapy without reperfusion. Articles published from January 1, 1986, to December 31, 2012, were collected and analyzed by meta-analysis.Methods and resul...

CYP2C19 genotype–guided antiplatelet therapy in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients—Rationale and design of the Patient Outcome after primary PCI (POPular) Genetics study
Conclusion: The POPular Genetics study is the first large-scale trial comparing CYP2C19 genotype–guided antiplatelet therapy to a nontailored strategy in terms of net clinical benefit, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Impact of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors on the Efficacy and Safety of Ticagrelor Compared to Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes - Analysis from the PLATO (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes) Trial
Conclusions In patients with ACS undergoing early PCI the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor as compared with clopidogrel was not modified by GPI use according to the primary efficacy and safety endpoint of the trial, although there were indications of greater benefit on definite stent thrombosis and more major or minor bleeding with ticagrelor in patients without (vs. with) GPI treatment.
