Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients admitted with severe COVID-19. However, there is limited data about the management of chronic anticoagulation therapy in these patients. We assessed the anticoagulation and incidence of major cardiovascular events in hospitalized patients with AF and COVID-19. We retrospectively investigated all consec...

We aimed to determine the proportion of frail patients among older adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), characterize them and their use of anticoagulant therapy, and examine the association between frailty and clinical outcomes in a real-world setting using the ANAFIE Registry dataset. The target population consisted of more than 30...

Purpose Low-dose parenteral anticoagulation has demonstrated its efficacy for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in randomized trials. However, current practice is not widely documented. In ambulatory settings, we aimed to provide an overview of the clinical use of low-dose parenteral anticoagulation in France and to assess the incidence of major b...

BackgroundWomen with atrial fibrillation (AF) experience greater symptomatology, worse quality of life, and have a higher risk of stroke as compared to men, but are less likely to receive rhythm control treatment. Whether these differences exist in elderly patients with AF, and whether sex modifies the effectiveness of rhythm versus rate control th...

Polypharmacy is prevalent among non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients and presents a potential issue for the effective management of NVAF. This study compared the risk of stroke/systemic embolism (SE) and major bleeding (MB) among NVAF patients with polypharmacy newly prescribed oral anticoagulants (OACs). A retrospective study of NVAF p...

New oral anticoagulants (NOACs) is the preferred treatment in secondary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolic events (VTE). The aim of this study was to investigate possible risk factors associated with major bleeding in VTE-patients treated with NOACs. In this retrospective register-based study we screened the Swedish anticoagulation register Auric...

Introduction: Kidney biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of most renal diseases. A major obstacle to performing a biopsy is safety concerns. However, many safety measures are not evidence based and therefore vary widely between centers. We sought to determine the rate and timing of kidney biopsy complications in our center, to compar...

Distal or calf deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are said to have low rates of propagation, embolization, and recurrence. The objective of this study was to determine outcomes among cancer patients with calf DVT compared to those without cancer. Consecutive patients with ultrasound confirmed acute calf DVT (3/1/2013-8/10/2019) were assessed for venous thr...

Background Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is usually performed under general anesthesia (GA) guided by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), or under local anesthesia (LA) guided by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). GA is known to carry some disadvantages. It is sometimes technically challenging to obtain adequate imaging of...

BACKGROUND: We investigated whether the use of a specially designed visual estimation tool may improve accuracy in quantifying blood volumes related to surface spreading. METHODS: A prospective, paired-control, single-blinded experimental study was performed at a medical university. Anesthesiologists and emergency medical personnel estimated variou...
