Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion using different technologies in the United Kingdom: A multicenter registry
ConclusionsLAAO can be performed safely in a real world setting with good implant success rates and procedural outcomes. The long‐term benefits of the procedure are reassuring in terms of both ischemic events and avoidance of severe bleeding associated with anticoagulation in this patient group. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A pilot study evaluating the use of ABCD2 score in pre-hospital assessment of patients with suspected transient ischaemic attack: experience and lessons learned
ConclusionsIt is possible to identify, recruit and follow up patients with suspected TIA in the EMS setting. Training large numbers of EMS staff is required as exposure to TIA patients is infrequent. Significant insight was gained into the complexity of NHS research governance mechanisms in the UK. This knowledge will facilitate the planning of a future adequately powered study to validate the ABCD2 tool in a pre-hospital setting.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in the UK: Temporal Trends, Predictors of Outcome and 6 Year Follow Up: A Report from the UK TAVI Registry 2007 to 2012.
CONCLUSIONS: -We analysed TAVI in an entire country, with follow up over 6 years. Although clinical profiles of enrolled patients remained unchanged, longer term outcomes improved, and patients were discharged earlier. Peri-procedural stroke, non-femoral access and post-procedure aortic regurgitation are predictors of adverse outcome, along with intrinsic patient risk factors.
