Aspirin Plus Rivaroxaban Versus Rivaroxaban Alone for the Prevention of Venous Stent Thrombosis Among Patients With Post-Thrombotic Syndrome: The Multicenter, Multinational, Randomized, Open-Label ARIVA Trial

Circulation

BACKGROUND:In patients with post-thrombotic syndrome, stent recanalization of iliofemoral veins or the inferior vena cava can restore venous patency and improve functional outcomes. The risk of stent thrombosis is particularly increased during the first 6 months after intervention.

Abstract WP181: Treatment of Unruptured Small and Medium Wide-Necked Aneurysms of the Internal Carotid Artery Using the 64-Wire Surpass Evolve: Results of the SEASE International Registry

Stroke Journal

The PREMIER study first demonstrated high rates of complete occlusion without parent vessel stenosis or permanent neurological complications after the treatment of wide-necked small and medium-sized intracranial ICA aneurysms with the 48-wire pipeline. Successful implantation was encountered in 99% (128/129) of the cases. At a median 10.1

Glorifying FAME 3, could end up as academic mischief ! “PCI, in isolation can’t beat CABG, but with FFR it can”

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

The goal was to determine whether using FFR to identify functionally significant stenoses (FFR 0.80) for stenting, rather than relying solely on angiographic appearance. FAME series , though never had an intention to compare PCI vs CABG , now we have used the platform to upend it to take on the CABG in multivessel CAD.

Outpatient vascular care : Good, bad or ugly?

Dr. Anish Koka

Dormu performed an aortogram of the bilateral lower extremity with bilateral iliac runoff, which revealed a 90% stenosis of the right superficial femoral artery and 100% occlusion of all three tibial vessels. These studies revealed an 80% stenosis of the left superficial femoral artery and 100% occlusion of all three tibial vessels.

Highlights of ACC 2024

Cardiology Update

SMART 4 ( NCT04722250 ) studied patients with severe aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The primary superiority endpoint was clinically relevant bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium [known as BARC] types 2, 3, or 5). vs. 6.2%) and stroke (2.9%

Rise of the Lysenkoist Cardiologists

Dr. Anish Koka

Marked differences can be seen in the prevalence of coronary artery stenosis at autopsy by age and gender. In 30-39 year old women the rate of coronary stenosis at autopsy was 5/1,545 (0.3%) while 60-69 year old men had a prevalence of 12%, almost 40 times higher. The results of this dataset by age and gender follow.

“Non-superiority” trial of sub-optimal PCI vs OMT : A proposal for a study design

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

The therapeutics of coronary stenosis has become a technogical wonder, interwoven with statistical wordplay in the last few decades. It is a strange academic habit among cardiologists, that they have subdivided medical management into optimal and suboptimal. Academic lessons from this patient. 2016 Dec;9(12):e003726.
