Aug 10th, 2022 - We sought to examine the efficacy and safety of adding fibrinogen-guided low-dose multi-day Alteplase™ tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in the management of intravascular hemolysis (IVH) in patients with the HeartMate II (HM-II) continuous flow ...

Aug 8th, 2022 - Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) to decrease the risk of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF); however, certain complications remain a concern. Amplatzer Amulet and Wa...

Aug 5th, 2022 - Oral anticoagulation (OAC) prevents thromboembolism yet greatly increases the risk of bleeding, inciting concern among clinicians. Current guidelines lack sufficient evidence supporting long-term OAC following successful atrial fibrillation cathet...

Jul 30th, 2022 - To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) modalities with regional sodium citrate anticoagulation (RCA) in children. This retrospective study was conducted at the paediatric intensive care unit of Hunan Chi...

Jul 29th, 2022 - Several patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) also require oral anticoagulation (OAC) for atrial fibrillation (AF) or deep vein thromboembolism. However, the optimal type of OAC strategy (direct oral anticoagulants, DOA...

Aug 13th, 2020 - SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION FACT SHEET FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS REGIOCIT (Sodium Chloride and Sodium Citrate Renal Replacement and Regional Anticoagulant solution) For continuous renal replacement therapy For extracorporeal use only Emergency Use Aut...

Jul 11th, 2022 - Patients with aortic valve disease were often excluded from the major trials that ushered the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) into practice, largely supplanting warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists (VKA). But they are key to a recent body o...

Mar 9th, 2022 - Older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are included in the group of patients at high risk for stroke. A multidisciplinary approach to managing AF in older patients can mitigate risk for stroke. Oral anticoagulation is the cornerstone of mana...

Oct 15th, 2021 - In a potential case of "less is more," an antithrombotic regimen with only short-term antiplatelets and long-term reliance on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) — but at half the standard dosages — led to an almost 90% drop in risk of thromboembol...

Oct 4th, 2021 - Discovery of substantial atrial fibrillation (AF) is usually an indication to start oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention, but it's far from settled whether such AF is actually a direct cause of thromboembolic stroke. And that has impli...

Aug 30th, 2021 - Abbott's Amplatzer Amulet provided superior left atrial appendage (LAA) closure over the old-guard Watchman (Boston Scientific) device but failed to significantly cut stroke or bleeding rates in patients with atrial fibrillation, despite theoretic...
