ESC 2018 | FRANCE-TAVI: Atrial Fibrillation and Anticoagulation Associated to Mortality in TAVR
Some of the many ongoing randomized studies including patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) might finally answer the question on the best antithrombotic scheme post TAVR. According to this ...

ESC 2018 | ART: Disappointment with Bilateral Internal-Thoracic Artery Grafts After a 10-Year Follow-Up
Published 5-year results had been neutral for bilateral vs. single internal-thoracic artery grafts, but, at the time, surgeons argued that the time period analyzed was not enough and that a ...

ESC 2018 | CULPRIT-SHOCK: 1-Year Results Continue to Support Treatment of the Culprit Artery Only
Increases in the rates of revascularization and heart failure do not justify the early mortality advantage shown by treatment of the culprit artery only in patients with acute myocardial infarction ...

ESC 2018 | MATRIX: 1-Year Superiority of Transradial Access
Transradial access should be the access of choice in patients with acute coronary syndrome, while bivalirudin has not shown any benefit for this population. The long-term follow-up from ...

ESC 2018 | GLOBAL LEADERS: Ticagrelor Monotherapy Is Not Superior to Classic Therapies After Angioplasty

ESC 2018 | ARRIVE: Aspirin in the Eye of the Storm of Primary Prevention
Aspirin failed to reach the primary endpoint in a population that was at risk of experiencing cardiovascular disease. However, something that a short time ago seemed obvious could not be proved by ...

ESC 2018 | CLARIFY: No Survival Benefit with Beta-Blockers Beyond 1 Year After Infarction
This is another study that concludes that beta-blockers have no impact on mortality at 1 year after infarction in stable patients and offer no survival benefit to patients with stable ischemic ...

ESC 2018 | ASCEND: Aspirin for Primary Prevention in Diabetic Patients Fails the Cost-Benefit Analysis
The obvious risk of bleeding posed by aspirin was too clear in this work, casting a shadow of doubt over the indication of aspirin for primary prevention in diabetic patients. According ...
