Antistreptokinase antibodies and outcome of fibrinolytic therapy with streptokinase for left-sided prosthetic valve thrombosis
Conclusion Anti-SK antibody titers are not associated with success of fibrinolytic therapy using SK in patients with left-sided PVT.

Balancing the risks of bleeding and stent thrombosis: A decision analytic model to compare durations of dual antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting stents
Conclusions Small absolute differences in the risk of ischemic events with longer DAPT would be sufficient to outweigh the known bleeding risks.

Rationale and design of a study exploring the efficacy of once-daily oral rivaroxaban (X-TRA) on the outcome of left atrial/left atrial appendage thrombus in non-valvular atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and a retrospective observational registry providing baseline data (CLOT-AF)
In conclusion, X-TRA and CLOT-AF will provide some answers to the many unresolved issues concerning patient outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with AF and LAA thrombi. Results from this study program would provide the first prospective interventional study (X-TRA) and a large international retrospective observational registry (CLOT-AF) on the prevalence and natural history of LA/LAA thrombi. Unique data on clot resolution with rivaroxaban in a prospective cohort would be obtained in X-TRA.

Glomerular filtration rate and association to stroke, major bleeding, and death in patients with mechanical heart valve prosthesis
Conclusion In patients with MHV on anticoagulation, eGFR is an independent predictor of major bleeding and death and not TE.

Antithrombotic Strategy Variability In ATrial Fibrillation and Obstructive Coronary Disease Revascularized with PCI - Rationale and study design of the prospective observational multicenter AVIATOR 2 Registry
Publication date: Available online 21 September 2015 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Jaya Chandrasekhar, Ioannis Mastoris, Usman Baber, Samantha Sartori, Mikkel Schoos, Sameer Bansilal, George Dangas, Roxana Mehran Background In the era of novel anti-thrombotic therapy, the optimal treatment for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is undetermined. Study Design The AVIATOR 2 study is a multicenter prospective observational registry that will enroll approximately 2500 patients with non-valvular AF or flutter undergoing PCI star...

Family History of Atrial Fibrillation is Associated with Earlier-onset and More Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: Results From the ORBIT-AF Registry
Conclusions Patients with a family history of AF developed AF at a younger age, had less comorbidity, and were more symptomatic. Once AF developed, no significantly increased risks of AF progression and thromboembolism were associated with a family history of AF compared with no family history.

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.

Randomized evaluation of short-term dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome treated with the COMBO dual therapy stent: rationale and design of the REDUCE trial
Publication date: Available online 29 April 2016 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): C. Camaro, S.A.J. Damen, M.A. Brouwer, E. Kedhi, S.W. Lee, M. Verdoia, L. Barbieri, A. Rognoni, A.W.J. van t Hof, E. Ligtenberg, M.J. de Boer, H. Suryapranata, G. De Luca Background The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated with drug eluting stents (DES) is still under debate. Recent meta-analyses on≤6months versus 12months DAPT suggest that bleeding rates can be reduced, without a higher rate of thrombotic complications. In particular, the COMBO dual th...

Impact of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors on the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes: Analysis from the Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes (PLATO) Trial
Conclusions In patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing early PCI, the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor as compared with clopidogrel were not modified by GPI use according to the primary efficacy and safety end point 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.

Prevalence and Outcome of Thrombotic and Embolic Complications in Adults after Fontan Operation
Conclusions TEC was not uncommon; risk factors for TEC were APC and atrial arrhythmias. Most patients were treated successfully with warfarin alone. A second TEC occurred in most patients whose anticoagulation was discontinued because of bleeding events.

Trial design: Rivaroxaban for the prevention of major cardiovascular events post transcatheter aortic valve replacement: rationale and design of the GALILEO study
Conclusions GALILEO will test the hypothesis that a rivaroxaban-based antithrombotic strategy reduces the risk of thromboembolic complications post-TAVR with an acceptable risk of bleeding compared with the currently recommended antiplatelet therapy-based strategy in subjects without need of chronic oral anticoagulation.

Interventional left atrial appendage closure vs novel anticoagulation agents in patients with atrial fibrillation indicated for long-term anticoagulation (PRAGUE-17 study)
Conclusion The PRAGUE-17 trial will determine if LAA occlusion is noninferior to treatment with NOAC in moderate- to high-risk AF patients.

Conclusions GALILEO will test the hypothesis that a rivaroxaban-based antithrombotic strategy reduces the risk of thromboembolic complications post-TAVR with an acceptable risk of bleeding compared with the currently recommended antiplatelet therapy–based strategy in subjects without need of chronic oral anticoagulation.

A randomized clinical trial comparing long-term clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy beyond dual antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting coronary stent implantation: Design and rationale of the HOST-EXAM trial
Conclusions The HOST-EXAM will be the first large-scale randomized controlled study to directly compare the efficacy and safety of long-term antiplatelet monotherapy beyond DAPT after DES implantation. This study will provide clinical evidence to establish optimal regimen for long-term antiplatelet therapy after DES implantation.

Conclusions The HOST-EXAM will be the first large-scale randomized controlled study to directly compare the efficacy and safety of long-term antiplatelet monotherapy beyond DAPT after DES implantation. This study will provide clinical evidence to establish optimal regimen for long-term antiplatelet therapy after DES implantation.
