The role of CHA2DS2-VASc score in evaluating patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Objective The aim of the review was to assess whether CHA2DS2-VASc score is predictive of mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background The CHA2DS2-VASc score is validated in predicting stroke risk in atrial fibrillation. The optimum management strategy for these patients undergoing PCI is still debated. Methods The CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated in consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing PCI in a large Australian registry between 2007 and 2013. Patients were divided into low (1–2), intermediate (3–4) and high (≥5) ...

Stroke Prevention, Evaluation of Bleeding Risk, and Anticoagulant Treatment Management in Atrial Fibrillation Contemporary International Guidelines
Publication date: May 2019Source: Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 35, Issue 5Author(s): Marco Proietti, Deirdre A. Lane, Giuseppe Boriani, Gregory Y.H. LipAbstractIn recent years the management of atrial fibrillation patients has progressively and substantially changed because of the introduction of new treatments and the availability of new data regarding the epidemiology and clinical management of these patients. In the past 2 years alone, there have been 7 new guidelines or guideline updates that have been published, which have introduced new recommendations and significantly revised previously published ones. Tw...

Angiographical Identification of Intracranial, Atherosclerosis-Related, Large Vessel Occlusion in Endovascular Treatment
Conclusions Among only a few identification methods, the ICAS-LVO can be feasibly identified by angiographical findings. The identification of ICAS-LVO based on based on occlusion type, is a reliable and practical identification method for ICAS-LVO. Procedural details by occlusion type and its predictability to endovascular results were reported. Furthermore, occlusion type can be determined before or in the early stages of the procedure, which may be most helpful in setting up an optimal endovascular treatment strategy. Author Contributions J-HB established the study idea, designed the manuscript structure, acquired an...
