Cardiovascular outcomes in long COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Long COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of thromboembolic disorders [HR 3.12 (1.60, 6.08)], coronary heart disease [HR 1.61 (1.13, 2.31)], stroke [HR 1.71 (1.07,2.72)], arrhythmia [HR 1.60 (1.13, 2.26)], cardiomyopathy [HR 1.71 (1.12, 2.61)], myocarditis [HR 6.11 (4.17,8.94)], hypertension [HR 1.70 (1.56, 1.85)], heart failure [HR 1.72 (1.15,2.59)] (..)

Optimal antithrombotic therapy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a comprehensive review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Subclinical leaflet thrombosis is observed in 10%20% of patients, though its clinical significance remains uncertain. Clinical valve thrombosis is rare. Ongoing trials aim to clarify optimal antithrombotic regimens and strategies for preventing subclinical leaflet thrombosis.

TAVI Matches SAVR in Lower Risk Aortic Valve Patients: 10 year outcomes

Cardiology Update

The NOTION trial, a pioneering study, sought to compare the long-term clinical and bioprosthesis outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) at lower surgical risk. No cases of clinical valve thrombosis were reported.

Outcome of antithrombotic therapy in cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis: a systematic review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction The guidelines' recommendations for anticoagulation in cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis are unclear. The aim of this systematic review was to assess anticoagulation management in cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) based on previously published studies.

Transcatheter Valve Replacement Outcomes Similar to Surgery in Long-Term Analysis

DAIC

In the meta-analysis of seven randomized trials, published in JSCAI and presented at the 2024 EuroPCR conference in Paris, France, researchers compared the outcomes of 7,785 patients undergoing TAVR (a procedure that delivers a new aortic valve into the heart through a catheter) to those undergoing SAVR for severe aortic stenosis.

Complete thrombosis of a bioprosthetic mitral valve and left atrium in a patient on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with favorable outcome

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Intra-cardiac thrombosis is a potentially devastating complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) mechanical circulatory support. We present here a patient who suffered complete thrombosis of a.

Durable versus biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents in all-comers

Open Heart

We aimed to compare outcomes between a broad range of second-generation DP-DES and BP-DES in an all-comer population. vs 35.2%, p<0.001), the rate of acute stent thrombosis (ST) was significantly lower than in the BP-DES group (HR 0.240, 95% CI 0.075 to 0.766; p=0.016). Results Mean age was 67 years, with 75% male.
