Quest for the Perfect Anticoagulant
The current referenced meta-analysis study by Selvaraj et al1 examines the relative merits of anticoagulation with a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) versus vitamin K antagonist (VKA) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients meeting the indications for anticoagulation because of atrial fibrillation (AF). Although guidelines vary, the general consensus appears to indicate noninferiority to superiority of DOACs in the treatment of nonvalvular AF. In the landmark Apixiban for Reduction In Stroke and Other Thromboemoblic Events in Atrial Fibrillation trial comparing apixaban to warfarin in patients with...

Outcome after intracranial hemorrhage under dabigatran and reversal with idarucizumab versus under vitamin-K-antagonists – the RIC-ICH study
ConclusionThese results, based on data from routine clinical practice, suggest that in-hospital mortality after idarucizumab treatment is comparable to that in patients pretreated with VKA. Due to the low precision of estimates, the results must be interpreted with caution.

High rates of oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation patients observed in a large multi-specialty health system in the Northeast
ConclusionsWe show dramatically increased OAC usage among patients with AF and that NOACs comprise the large majority of OACs compared with previous studies. This suggests an association between widespread adoption of NOACs and increased oral anticoagulation rates. Future directions include assessing barriers to oral anticoagulation and developing interventions to reduce disparity in OAC use between clinics.

Peri- and Post-procedural Anticoagulation with Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Devices
Heart Int. 2023 Jun 21;17(1):54-59. doi: 10.17925/HI.2023.17.1.54. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTIn patients with atrial fibrillation and high stroke risk, anticoagulation with direct oral anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists is the standard of care for stroke prevention. The benefit of anticoagulation is driven by attenuating the risk of thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion offers an alternative therapeutic strategy for stroke prevention in patients with high bleeding risk or contraindications for long-term anticoagulation. This review of the current literature deline...
