Edoxaban versus Vitamin K Antagonist for Atrial Fibrillation after TAVR
Clinical Trial | By NM Van Mieghem, M Unverdorben, the ENVISAGE-TAVI AF Investigators.
BACKGROUND - The role of direct oral anticoagulants as compared with vitamin K antagonists for atrial fibrillation after successful transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) has not been well studied. METHODS - We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, adjudicator-masked trial comparing edoxaban with vitamin K antagonists in patients with prevalent or incident atrial fibrillation as the indic...

Original Research | By BH Strauss, ML Knudtson, AN Cheema et al.
BACKGROUND - Chronic total occlusions (CTO) occur in nearly 20% of coronary angiograms. CTO revascularization, either by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG), is infrequently performed, approximately one-third of cases. Long-term outcomes are unknown. The objective of the study was to determine whether early CTO revascularization of patients, either by CABG or PCI, was associ...

The discipline of Cardio-Oncology has seen tremendous growth over the past decade. It is devoted to the cardiovascular (CV) care of the cancer patient, especially to the mitigation and management of CV complications or toxicities of cancer therapies, which can have profound implications on prognosis. To that effect, many studies have assessed CV toxicities in patients undergoing various types of cancer therapies; however, direct comparisons...
