Outcomes of Open Repair of Mycotic Descending Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusions Open repair of mycotic descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms remains the gold standard of therapy. Aggressive intraoperative debridement with in situ prosthetic reconstruction permits a high rate of success in this very high risk cohort of patients. Lifelong antibiotic suppression therapy may prevent late prosthetic graft infection.

Incidence and predictors of ischemic stroke during hospitalization for congestive heart failure
Abstract Heart failure (HF) increases the risk of ischemic stroke. Data regarding the incidence and predictors of ischemic stroke during hospitalization for HF are limited. The study population of this retrospective cohort study consisted of patients with congestive HF, consecutively admitted to our center from October 2010 to April 2014. We excluded patients complicated with acute myocardial infarction, infective endocarditis, and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We also excluded those with dialysis or mechanical circulatory support. We investigated the incidence of ischemic stroke during hospitalization for HF. Thereaf...

Risk of Stroke in Patients with ESRD.
CONCLUSIONS: People with ESRD have a substantially higher risk of stroke, particularly women and young people, and hemorrhagic stroke. Future work could investigate effective and safe interventions for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in people with ESRD. PMID: 26209158 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A retrospective, longitudinal study estimating the association between interdialytic weight gain and cardiovascular events and death in hemodialysis patients
Conclusions: Greater IDWG is associated with an increased risk of CV morbid events. Strategies that mitigate IDWG may improve CV health and survival among hemodialysis patients.

Effects of withdrawing vs continuing renin-angiotensin blockers on incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization: Results from the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor/Angiotensin Receptor Blocker and Contrast Induced Nephropathy in Patients Receiving Cardiac Catheterization (CAPTAIN) trial
Conclusion In this pilot study of patients with moderate renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization, with-holding ACEI/ARB resulted in a non-significant reduction in contrast-induced AKI and a significant reduction in post-procedural rise of creatinine. This low cost intervention could be considered when referring a patient for cardiac catheterization.

Effect of antithrombotic and antiplatelet agents for ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation patients with dialysis
With great interest, we read Chen et al. study about antithrombotic agents in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) [1]. The authors found that anti-platelet or warfarin treatment could not lower the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with ESRD. We have some concerns about this study.

Effects of Withdrawing Versus Continuing Renin-Angiotensin Blockers on Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Renal Insufficiency Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization: Results from the CAPTAIN Trial
Conclusion In patients with moderate renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization, withholding ACEI/ARB reduced (without statistical significance) the incidence of contrast-induced AKI. Additionally, a lower rise in post procedural creatinine levels was also noted. This low cost intervention could be considered when referring a patient for cardiac catheterization.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage as the Initial Neurologic Manifestation in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (P6.014)
Conclusion: Upon review of the literature, ischemic infarction and intracerebral hemorrhage are uncommon complications of TTP. Our case demonstrates a unique case of subarachnoid hemorrhage as the initial neurological manifestation of TTP.Disclosure: Dr. Wei has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ramesh has nothing to disclose.

Treatment of atherosclerotic renovascular hypertension: review of observational studies and a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis can cause ischaemic nephropathy and arterial hypertension. We herein review the observational and randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing medical and endovascular treatment for control of hypertension and renal function preservation. Using the Population Intervention Comparison Outcome (PICO) strategy, we identified the relevant studies and performed a novel meta-analysis of all RCTs to determine the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment when compared with medical therapy. The following outcomes were examined: baseline follow-up difference in mean systolic and diastolic blo...

Preoperative renal function and surgical outcomes in patients with acute type A aortic dissection
CONCLUSIONS Preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate can effectively predict the need for renal replacement therapy after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. However, it is not an effective diagnostic tool to predict in-hospital mortality. The complexity of the characteristics of patients who undergo surgical procedures may make prediction of surgical outcomes difficult. Risk models to predict hospital mortality and morbidities are needed to assist clinicians in determining the optimal treatment.

Warfarin use, mortality, bleeding and stroke in haemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions In our population of HD patients with AF, the mortality is very high. OAT is not associated with increased mortality, while antiplatelet drugs are. OAT seems, on the contrary, associated with a better survival; however, it does not decrease the incidence of ischaemic stroke, whereas it increases the incidence of bleeding. Bleeding risk is lower in subjects in whom the INR is kept within the therapeutic range.
