Thrilled and grateful to share our recent publication in @CirculationEP, comparing left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. 🫀
Across 6 RCTs and over 7k patients:
🔹 LAAC was associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke but a lower risk of nonprocedural major bleeding.
🔹 Overall stroke, major bleeding, and mortality were not significantly different.

In 6 RCTs (7,004 patients), LAAC lowered nonprocedural major bleeding but increased ischemic stroke vs OAC, with similar mortality @VijAviral

When should PCI be performed relative to TAVR? We tried to provide insights into this question by comparing same-day PCI/TAVR vs TAVR <30 days after PCI and TAVR >30 days after PCI. We also performed cubic spline analysis to look at the trend over time.

Increasing use of intravascular imaging in single-vessel CTO-PCI from 2008-2020, but still <20%. We also looked at postprocedural outcomes and imaging use in different subgroups. Check out: doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.20…
Special thank you to @VijAviral @MichaelGNanna @ruey_hu

We performed an updated NMA comparing IVUS, OCT, and CA in PCI (6 yrs after the last NMA). Topic inspired by #SCAI2022. Included 28 RCTs and only RCTs. Check out our paper for results: doi.org/10.1002/ccd.30784

Unfortunately, weekend NSTEMI continues to have higher in-hospital mortality, decreased PCI rates, and longer LOS than weekday NSTEMI.

Incredibly important to complete the RUC survey if you receive one. Be honest about how much time you spend doing procedures.
The RUC results are closely tied with payment.
