ST elevation myocardial infarction and kidney transplant: A large cohort study: STEMI and renal transplant
CONCLUSION: STEMI is not an uncommon complication among KTR and is associated with significant mechanical complications. Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors might improve the STEMI rates among KTR.PMID:34565688 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.09.006

Cardiac surgery outcomes in patients with antecedent kidney, liver, and pancreas transplantation: a meta-analysis.
Authors: Bacusca AE, Enache M, Tarus A, Litcanu CI, Burlacu A, Tinica G Abstract Cardiovascular events are among the most common causes of late death in the transplant recipient (Tx) population. Moreover, major cardiac surgical procedures are more challenging and risky due to immunosuppression and the potential impact on the transplanted organ's functional capacity. We aimed to assess open cardiac surgery safety in abdominal solid organ transplant recipients, comparing the postoperative outcomes with those of nontransplant (N-Tx) patients. Electronic databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and SCOPUS were searched. The endpoi...

Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Cardiac Transplant Patients: A Binational Analysis Derived From the United Kingdom and United States.
CONCLUSIONS: PCI in cardiac transplant recipients was associated with similar short-term mortality and vascular complications compared with PCI in the general populace. However, a higher 1-year morality was observed in the BCIS cohort. PMID: 32865507 [PubMed - in process]

Status, Indications, and Use of Cardiac Replacement Therapy in the Era of Multimodal Mechanical Approaches to Circulatory Support: A Scoping Review
In conclusion, the Syncardia temporary TAH is a reasonable bridge-to-transplant option for selected patients with either biventricular failure or special anatomic conditions.RésuméLes auteurs décrivent l’utilisation, les indications et les résultats actuels du cœur artificiel total (CAT) temporaire Syncardia (Syncardia Systems, Tucson, AZ, États-Unis), le seul CAT actuellement approuvé comme stratégie de transition vers une transplantation au Canada, aux États-Unis et en Europe. Implanté chez plus de 1 700 patients dans le monde, le CAT temporaire Syncardia est la pompe la plus utilisée. À l’échelle mondia...

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange for Urgent Rivaroxaban Reversal.
Abstract Direct oral anticoagulants, which include the factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban, have some advantages over vitamin K antagonists in regard to stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, no antidotes to reverse the effect of oral anticoagulants are commercially available, which can complicate treating patients in whom reversal is urgent. We faced this challenge in a kidney transplant candidate, a 65-year-old man with end-stage renal disease who had been taking rivaroxaban for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. When a deceased-donor kidney became available, we needed to rapidly reduce the pa...

Vitamin K antagonists for stroke prevention in hemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion Our meta-analysis revealed a trend for a reduction of the risk of ischemic stroke in hemodialysis patients with AF treated with VKA. The true protective effect may have been underestimated, owing to inclusion of low-risk patients not expected to benefit from anticoagulation and to suboptimal anticoagulation. However, assessment of the overall effect of VKA in hemodialysis patients should also take into account the increased risk of bleeding, in particular of hemorrhagic stroke. Whether new oral anticoagulants provide a better benefit–risk ratio in hemodialysis patients should be the subject of future trials.

Mortality following a cardiovascular or renal event in patients with type 2 diabetes in the ALTITUDE trial
Conclusion The majority of deaths occurred in patients who did not experience a non-fatal CV or renal event, although the risk of death was higher following an event. Our findings illustrate continuing opportunities to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.
