Impact of right and left ventricular systolic dysfunction on perioperative outcome and long ‐term survival after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsPeri‐operative mortality and risk of stroke after TAVR are not adversely affected by preexisting RV or LV dysfunction. Long‐term survival is impaired in patients with RVSD. RVSD but not LVSD is an independent risk factor for late mortality. TAVR should be the preferred therapy for patients with RVSD and LVSD, especially when patient is suitable for TF.

Effects of physician's specialty on regular chronic kidney disease care in predialysis: A population-based cross-sectional study
Late referral in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with irregular care and poor prognosis. How the specialty of healthcare provider affect late referral and irregular CKD care remain unclear. We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study to include incident dialysis patients from 2002 to 2007 in Taiwan and observed for 1, 2, and 3 years before dialysis. The medical visits-related information was evaluated every 3 months, retrospectively. Irregular follow-up was defined as missing a follow-up during more than one interval every year. A total of 46,626 patients were included. At 1, 2, and 3 years prior to ...

Left ventricular assist device exchange for the treatment of HeartMate II pump thrombosis.
Conclusions: It is generally feasible to treat pump thrombosis via LVAD exchange. Yet, the exchange procedure is not without risk and the risk of re-thrombosis (34%), stroke (29%), postoperative dialysis (29%) and perioperative complications remains high. PMID: 30034845 [PubMed]

Asymptomatic Cerebrovascular Disease in Dialysis Patients.
Authors: Naganuma T, Takemoto Y Abstract Cerebrovascular disease is a major cause of death in dialysis patients, who have a much higher incidence of stroke compared to the normal population. Recent studies have shown that asymptomatic cerebral small-vessel disease, including silent brain infarction (SBI), white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), is related to the future onset of stroke. Cerebral small-vessel disease is caused by microvascular damage to the small penetrating arteries of the middle cerebral artery including arteriolosclerosis, fibrinoid necrosis, and lipohyalinosis attri...

Blood cardioplegia benefits only patients with a long cross-clamp time.
CONCLUSIONS: We did not find clear evidence of superiority of either type in the uncomplicated patient. When prolonged cross-clamp time or postoperative ventilation is expected, this study indicates that blood cardioplegia might be preferable. PMID: 30044166 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Serum Glutaredoxin Activity as a Marker of Oxidative Stress in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Pilot Study
Conclusion: Our pilot study indicates that Grx may be a useful marker for assessing the degree of oxidative stress in CKD, however this needs further investigation in a larger prospective patient cohort.Nephron

Comparison between Automated Erythrocytopharesis (AECP) and Manual Exchange Transfusion (M-Ex)) in Reducing Hb-S and in Recovery of Acute Chest Syndrome and Other Acute Presentations of Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Conclusions:Erythrocytopharesis (Automated RBC exchange) is effective, quick and safe procedure that is life saving for many patients with ACS and is associated with less difficulties and complications if compared with the manual exchange. Because SCA is a national problem in Saudi Arabia and acute chest syndrome and other acute major complications comprehensively kill SCD patients, Automated Erythocytopharesis should be available nation-wide like dialysis machines at all large hospitals in all cities and should be distributed according to the prevalence of SCA in the area or location.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Endovascular Versus Open Repair For Chronic Type B Dissection Treatment: A meta-analysis
ConclusionsThis recent non -randomised data shows early ER benefit, unsustained at mid-term. Reintervention is higher after ER, necessitating improved technique. However, OS is exempt neither from reintervention nor rupture. Both techniques have their place, but patient selection is key.

Efficacy and Safety of Ticagrelor Compared with Clopidogrel in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease with Acute Myocardial Infarction
ConclusionIn patients with ESRD and AMI, ticagrelor resulted in numerically fewer but statistically nonsignificant rates of in-hospital and 1-year cardiovascular events with no significant increase in bleeding events compared with clopidogrel.

Bilateral versus single internal thoracic artery for coronary artery bypass grafting with end ‐stage renal disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsBITA grafting is safe in patients with ESRD although there was no survival benefit at 3.7 years. Additional studies with longer follow ‐up are required to determine the potential late benefits of BITA grafting in patients with ESRD.

Midterm Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Dialysis Patients With Aortic Valve Stenosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Satisfactory in-hospital outcomes were achieved in dialysis patients after TAVR. Various problems, however, such as complications particular to dialysis patients and valve durability, remained at midterm follow-up. Further studies are recommended to solve these problems, and prudent preoperative assessments should be mandatory. PMID: 31118365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Benefits and Harms of Oral Anticoagulant Therapy in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Conclusion: In early-stage CKD, NOACs had a benefit-risk profile superior to that of VKAs. For advanced CKD or ESKD, there was insufficient evidence to establish benefits or harms of VKAs or NOACs.
