Publication date: November 2018Source: American Heart Journal, Volume 205Author(s): Nicolas M. Van Mieghem, Martin Unverdorben, Marco Valgimigli, Roxana Mehran, Eric Boersma, Usman Baber, Christian Hengstenberg, Minggao Shi, Cathy Chen, Shigeru Saito, Roland Veltkamp, Pascal Vranckx, George D. DangasTranscatheter aortic valve implantation, also called transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is the treatment of choice for patients with severe aortic stenosis and intermediate to high operative risk. A significant portion of TAVR patients have atrial fibrillation (AF) requiring chronic oral anticoagulation. In moderate...

Oral anti-Xa anticoagulation after Trans-Aortic Valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis: The randomized ATLANTIS trial
Conclusions ATLANTIS tests the superiority of an apixaban-based strategy versus the recommended standard of care strategy to reduce the risk of post-TAVR thromboembolic and bleeding complications in an all comer population.

Factors associated with non –vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation: Results from the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation II (ORBIT-AF II)
Conclusions In contemporary clinical practice, up to three-fourths of patients with new-onset AF are now initially treated with a NOAC for stroke prevention. Those selected for NOAC treatment had lower stroke and bleeding risk profiles, were more likely treated by cardiologists, and had higher socioeconomic status.
