Incidence and Outcomes of Pericardial Effusion/Tamponade Following Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with Watchman (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA) has emerged as an alternative to anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). A US nationwide registry reported that even though the rate of major in-hospital complication of LAAC was low at 2.18%, pericardial effusion or pericardial tamponade (PE/PT) is a relatively common complication.1 In addition, case reports demonstrated the occurrence of delayed PE/PT after discharge.

"Simple" Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With Conscious Sedation: Safety and Effectiveness in Real-World Practice
Tex Heart Inst J. 2021 Sep 1;48(4):e207528. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-20-7528.ABSTRACTTranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a well-established alternative to open surgical replacement. Strictly selecting low-risk patients and using conscious sedation during TAVR has enabled hospital stays to be safely shortened. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a less rigorous patient-selection process involving multidisciplinary case discussions, percutaneous procedures with the use of conscious sedation, and postprocedural care outside an intensive care unit, with the goal of discharging patients from the hospital early. ...

Comparing pharmacotherapy in MINOCA versus medically managed obstructive acute coronary syndrome
This study uniquely compares the management and outcomes of MINOCA patients with a medically managed obstructive ACS (M-ACS) population. We retrospectively analysed registry data for consecutive patients admitted to the Gold Coast University Hospital with ACS requiring coronary angiography and identified patients with MINOCA and M-ACS. Baseline characteristics, pharmacological therapy and in-hospital outcomes were compared. In hospital outcomes were composite NACE, heart failure, stroke and major bleeding. Multivariate regression analysis was also performed to identify independent predictors of MINOCA. Multivariate regress...

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...
