A New Aortic Arch Inclusion Technique with Frozen Elephant Trunk for Aortic Arch Aneurysm Treatment.
This study introduces a new aortic arch inclusion technique with frozen elephant trunk (FET) for AAA treatment.A retrospective analysis was performed among 22 patients for AAA surgical treatment between March 2010 and March 2019. Patients were classified into Z1, Z2, and Z3 groups based on the origins of aneurysms. A stent graft with a 10 cm stented graft and 5-9 cm proximal vascular prosthesis was released into the descending thoracic aorta as FET through an incision in the aortic arch. The proximal vascular prosthesis was retracted into the aortic arch, trimmed to expose the orifices of the brachiocephalic vessels, and s...

Clinical Outcomes of Off-Label Underdosing of Direct Oral Anticoagulants After Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation.
In conclusion, the clinical adverse event rates for patients on an off-label under-dose DOAC regimen after ablation, predicated on careful patient evaluations, was not high as seen with that of patients on a standard DOAC dosing regimen. PMID: 33191353 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Anticoagulation in Patients with Heart Failure and Sinus Rhythm.
Authors: Li X, Yang J, Xu D Abstract The risk of thromboembolic events is significantly increased among patients with heart failure, even in those without atrial fibrillation. However, it is still unclear whether patients with heart failure and sinus rhythm can benefit from prophylactic anticoagulant therapy.This was a retrospective review of the pathophysiological mechanisms, epidemiological studies, and clinical trials on anticoagulation in patients with heart failure and sinus rhythm.Some subgroup analyses of clinical trials found that prophylactic anticoagulant therapy could reduce the incidence of stroke in pa...

The Association Between Ambient Air Pollution and Atrial Fibrillation
Int Heart J. 2021 Mar 6. doi: 10.1536/ihj.20-523. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia; it has been known to increase the risk of stroke and heart failure. The association between air pollutants and AF has remained to be controversial. Thus, in this study, we sought to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to assess the short- and long-term effects of ambient air pollution on AF.We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Ovid for all related studies up to October 2019. We used the random-effects model to estimate the excess risk percentage (ER%...

Inhaled Beta2-Agonists Increase In-Hospital Mortality in ICU Patients with Heart Failure
This study aimed to investigate whether inhaled B2As increased in-hospital mortality in ICU patients with HF.The Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III database was initially searched to identify adult patients (≥ 18 years old) with HF in ICU. Then, patients using or not using inhaled B2As were matched using propensity score matching on a 1:1 basis to control for baseline confounders. In-hospital mortality was compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between B2As and in-hospital mortality.The initial search retrieved 2345 eligible patie...
