Left ventricular thrombus in a patient with recurrent ischemic stroke events —The role of echocardiography
We present a patient with an ischemic stroke, and the cardiac ultrasound revealed a reduced ejection fraction and the presence of LV thrombus at the apex. The patient had no prior history of cardiovascular diseases. Even in a resource-limited setting, cardiac ultrasound is recommended to investigate stroke or transient ischemic attack events, especially in patients with a prior history of myocardial infarction. Although patients with LV thrombus should be treated with oral anticoagulants for at least 3  months, the role of direct oral anticoagulants and the optimal period of anticoagulation in this setting needs further investigation.

Anticoagulation use in perioperative atrial fibrillation after noncardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Anticoagulation is associated with a reduced risk of stroke and death but an increased risk of bleeding. The quality of the evidence is very poor. Randomised trials are needed to better determine the effects of anticoagulation use in this population.PMID:37080190 | DOI:10.57187/smw.2023.40056

Prevalence and clinical characteristics of atrial fibrillation in hospitalized patients with coronary artery disease and hypertension: a cross-sectional study from 2008 to 2018
CONCLUSIONS: AF is highly prevalent among patients with HT-CAD. Patients with both HT-CAD and AF have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular-related comorbidities, low BP control rate, and low use of oral anticoagulation.PMID:36914935 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000002471

Colchicine and high-intensity rosuvastatin in the treatment of non-critically ill patients hospitalised with COVID-19: a randomised clinical trial
Conclusions In this small, open-label, randomised trial of non-critically ill hospitalised patients with COVID-19, the combination of colchicine and rosuvastatin in addition to standard of care did not appear to reduce the risk of progression of COVID-19 disease or thromboembolic events, although the trial was underpowered due to a lower-than-expected event rate. The trial leveraged the power of electronic medical records for efficiency and improved follow-up and demonstrates the utility of incorporating electronic medical records into future trials. Trial registration NCT04472611.

Above the threshold time of coagulation: delayed diagnosis of acquired hemophilia A
A man in his 80 ’s presented to our hospital's emergency department with left hip pain after falling while transferring from a wheelchair on a visit day. He had been taking clopidogrel for> 10 years after atherothrombotic stroke and apixaban 2.5 mg b.i.d. for 2 years since he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. The patient had no coagulation abnormalities when he started apixaban therapy and had never experienced bleeding events. His medical history included cervical spondylosis surgery, right femoral neck fracture, hypertension, and benign prostatic hypertrophy.

A rare mechanism of embolic stroke complicating coronary thrombus aspiration
We report a case of embolic stroke complicating coronary thrombus aspiration in a 62-year-old man. Aspiration thrombectomy during percutaneous coronary intervention migrated thrombus to the proximal right coronary artery (RCA), and the thrombus was subsequently released into the aorta by backflow of the contrast injection causing aspiration thrombectomy-associated stroke. This is an extremely rare mechanism by which complications arise from failed aspiration thrombectomy.

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease: a network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The comparative effects of different ESAs on blood transfusions, death (any cause and cardiovascular), major cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular access thrombosis, kidney failure, fatigue and breathlessness were uncertain.PMID:36791280 | PMC:PMC9924302 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD010590.pub3

Congenital absence of left atrial appendage in a patient with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation
AbstractLeft atrial appendage (LAA) is a finger-like muscular extension of the left atrium, and it is the most prominent site for cardiac thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation. Congenital absence of LAA could be incidentally detected in patient with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation. Although it is considered to be an extremely rare cardiac anomaly, its clinical significance remains unknown and there is no clear consensus in the management strategy in those patients. Therefore, we report a case of an incidentally noted congenital absence of LAA in a 68-year-old woman being planned for LAA closure.

Extended dual antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention in clinically important patient subgroups: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CMAJ Open. 2023 Feb 7;11(1):E118-E130. doi: 10.9778/cmajo.20210119. Print 2023 Jan-Feb.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is routinely given to patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting; however, optimal duration remains uncertain in some situations. We assessed the benefits and harms of extending DAPT beyond 1 year after PCI in clinically important patient subgroups.METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched electronic databases (Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library) and grey literature (from inception to Nov. 5, 2021) and included randomized...
