Balancing the Risk of Bleeding and Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (from the AVIATOR Registry)
We describe patterns and determinants of antithrombotic prescriptions in this population. The Antithrombotic Strategy Variability in Atrial Fibrillation and Obstructive Coronary Disease Revascularized with PCI Registry was an international observational study of 859 consecutive patients with AF who underwent PCI from 2009 to 2011.

Meta-analysis of Net Long-term Benefit of Different Therapeutic Strategies in Patients with Cryptogenic Stroke and Patent Foramen Ovale
We pooled available data on follow-up events in patients with patent foramen ovale and cryptogenic stroke to evaluate the net clinical benefit of different therapeutic strategies (percutaneous closure vs antiplatelet vs anticoagulant therapy). MEDLINE/Pubmed and Cochrane databases and reviewed cited references to identify relevant studies were used; 3,311 patients from 21 clinical studies, both observational and randomized, with follow-up ≥12 months were overall included. Net clinical benefit was evaluated considering the cumulative incidence of both stroke/transient ischemic attack and major bleeding events.

Effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Frequency of Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke that is not included in the usual cardioembolic risk assessments for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of OSA on stroke rate in patients with AF. Patients with AF and new diagnosis of OSA were identified from retrospective chart review. Those with a history of stroke at the time of the sleep study were excluded. The primary outcome was the incidence of stroke, determined by a physician investigator blinded to the results of polysomnography.

Impact of Transesophageal Echocardiography on Management in Patients With Suspected Cardioembolic Stroke
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is frequently performed in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular events to exclude a cardioembolic source. We aimed to determine the clinical impact of TEE on management. This is a retrospective single-center study of 1,458 consecutive patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack who underwent TEE for evaluation of a suspected cardioembolic cause. Significant TEE findings were determined for each patient as recorded on the TEE report.

Usefulness and Safety of Vorapaxar in Patients With Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (from the TRACER Trial)
In conclusion, among patients with PCI, the effect of vorapaxar is consistent with the overall TRACER results. Patients who received a BMS underwent shorter courses of clopidogrel therapy and displayed trends toward greater ischemic benefit from vorapaxar and lesser bleeding risk, compared with patients who received a DES.

Relation of Major Depression to Survival After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
In conclusion, we found a strong and significant association between depression and long-term survival in patients with established ischemic heart disease who underwent CABG. Depression was also associated with an increased risk for a combination of death or rehospitalization for heart failure, myocardial infarction, or stroke.

Meta-Analysis of Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban Compared With Warfarin or Dabigatran in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
In conclusion, our study suggests that patients treated with rivaroxaban during periprocedural catheter ablation have similar rates of thromboembolic events and major hemorrhage. Similar results were seen in direct comparisons between dabigatran and rivaroxaban.

Ischemic Stroke Occurring During Intercourse in Young Women on Oral Contraceptives
We present 2 cases of young women taking oral contraceptives, each presenting with an ischemic stroke. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale in one patient and an atrial septal defect in the other. The most likely cause of stroke in both patients is embolic. Despite conflicting evidence, young patients presenting with ischemic stroke and found to have a patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect should be considered for possible device-based closure.

Dabigatran in Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Call for a Randomized Control Trial
We read the study by Sardar et al entitled Meta-Analysis of Risk of Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack With Dabigatran for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation. Sardar et al have conducted a rigorous systematic review and meta-analysis on the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attack with the use of dabigatran in catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) in comparison to warfarin. They have reported higher risk of thromboembolic events (including stroke and transient ischemic attack) with the periprocedural use of dabigatran contrary to several other meta-analyses that have shown no statistically significant differ...

Impact of Multiple Complex Plaques on Short- and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients Presenting With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (from the Harmonizing Outcomes With Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction HORIZONS-AMI Trial)
It is not known whether the extent and severity of nonculprit coronary lesions correlate with outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We sought to quantify complex plaques in patients with STEMI referred for primary PCI and to determine their effect on short- and long-term clinical outcomes by examining the core laboratory database for plaque analysis from the Harmonizing Outcomes With Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction study. Baseline demographic, angiographic, and procedural details were compared b...
