E-023 Predictors of outcomes in tandem anterior circulation occlusions following mechanical thrombectomy
In this study, we present outcomes of patients undergoing tandem mechanical thrombectomy. We demonstrate that stenting is associated with improved final reperfusion, but increased odds of asymptomatic ICH. Additional clinical trials should be performed to optimize the procedure and improve patient outcomes.Disclosures J. Catapano: None. D. Farhadi: None. A. Naik: None. S. Koester: None. E.

Protocol for Home-Based Solution for Remote Atrial Fibrillation Screening to Prevent Recurrence Stroke (HUA-TUO AF Trial): a randomised controlled trial
The objective of the study was to explore the use of long-term home-based ECG monitoring for AF detection and stroke prevention in patients with a history of stroke. Methods and analysis This prospective, randomised, open-label trial with blinded endpoint adjudication aimed to evaluate the efficacy of long-term home-based ECG monitoring for AF detection and stroke prevention in a 24-month period. Patients aged >18 years with a history of ischaemic stroke will be stratified according to the time from the index ischaemic stroke: <1, 1–3 and >3 years and then randomised in 1:1 to (1) home-based AF screening an...

A case of cardioembloic stroke with wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEBINO) syndrome
Rinsho Shinkeigaku. 2022 Jun 24. doi: 10.5692/clinicalneurol.cn-001701. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere, we report a case of an 85-year-old man who presented sudden onset of diplopia, dysarthria, and gait disturbance. On admission, he exhibited bilateral adduction palsy, convergence palsy, and binocular exotropia in the forward gaze showing wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEBINO) syndrome. He had a history of chronic nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. DWI-MRI revealed acute ischemic lesions in the paramedian pontine tegmentum, lower midbrain, both cerebellar hemispheres, and left frontal cortex. He was t...

Predicting Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: The Search Continues
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has an incredibly large burden on the American health system with approximately 454,000 annual hospital admissions as the primary diagnosis.1 Unfortunately, AF is not a benign entity, with a reported underlying primary cause of death in 26,535 people in 2019 according to the CDC.2 AF is the cause of 1 in 7 strokes,3 and increases the risk of ischemic stroke five-fold.4 These statistics are alarming when it is considered that the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) has been reported to be as high as 65% after cardiac surgery.

Matched comparison of catheter ablation versus conservative management for atrial fibrillation
AbstractIt is still controversial whether catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) could improve clinical outcomes in general AF population. Among 4398 patients with diagnosis of AF in the outpatient department of Kyoto University Hospital between January 2005 and March 2015, we identified 537 pairs of patients who received first-time catheter ablation (ablation group) or conservative management (conservative group), matched for age, gender, AF duration, AF type, AF symptoms, and previous heart failure (HF). The primary outcome measure was a composite of cardiovascular death, HF hospitalization, ischemic stroke, or m...

Rationale and design of a prospective study evaluating population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban in Chinese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Introduction Rivaroxaban is one of the most commonly used non-vitamin K antagonists for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Different individual exposures exist for Asian and non-Asian populations, and dose selection is different for Japanese and non-Japanese subjects. Few studies have investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of rivaroxaban in Chinese patients and provided a solid reference for dose selection and individualised therapy. Methods and analysis This is a single-centre prospective study. Rivaroxaban-treated Chinese NVAF patients will be recruited ...

New Data From Two Large Studies Reinforce Effectiveness of Dual Pathway Inhibition (DPI) with XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and/or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
RARITAN, N.J., May 23, 2022 – Findings from the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Phase 3 COMPASS Long-Term Open Label Extension (LTOLE) study and the XARELTO® in Combination with Acetylsalicylic Acid (XATOA) registry have been published in the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Additionally, the XATOA registry was presented at the American Congress of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session (ACC.22). These studies provide further evidence supporting the role of dual pathway inhibition (DPI) with the XARELTO® vascular dose (2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg...

Po-614-05 a community hospital review of watchman outcomes to determine safe discharge protocols
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices are increasingly used to decrease the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients with contraindication to oral anticoagulation. Discharge protocols after this procedure are variable, and same day discharge (SDD) may improve inpatient bed utilization.

Po-641-05 safety and in-hospital outcomes of left atrial appendage closure device in patients with heart failure: an analysis from the national inpatient sample database 2015-2018
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a procedure that has been shown to be non-inferior to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention for patients with atrial fibrillation. There is limited data about the safety of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in patients with heart failure (HF).

Po-661-07 a photoplethymography-based approach to atrial fibrillation-burden estimation in high-risk patients
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia leading to hospital admission. Its incidence is linked to increased risk of stroke, congestive heart failure, and overall mortality. AF burden is a key determinant of outcomes, but accurate quantification can be limited by the cardiac monitoring period (typically days). Alternatively, longer-term monitoring comes at higher cost and often requires an invasive approach. The introduction of reliable wrist-worn devices may improve access to long-term monitoring of AF burden.

Prediction, prevention and management of new onset peri-operative atrial fibrillation and flutter in patients undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery: a narrative review
Minerva Anestesiol. 2022 Apr 26. doi: 10.23736/S0375-9393.21.16034-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeri-operative atrial fibrillation and flutter (POAF) is recognized as a common complication of non-cardiac thoracic surgery. It is associated with hemodynamic instability, prolonged hospital stay, a risk of stroke and increased risk of mortality. The potential pathogenesis for POAF after non-cardiac thoracic surgery is multifactorial and not fully understood yet. Evaluation of risk factors and prediction of POAF can be beneficial for prevention and management of POAF in patients undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery. In t...
