PRAGUE-12: Surgical Atrial Ablation: Follow the one-year results.
Review: Two hundred twenty-four patients in a surgical plan, (coronary artery bypass grafting or valve), were randomized to cardiac surgery alone or associated with atrial ablation, (MAZE, 97% for cryoablation). The primary objective was the evaluation of sinus rhythm at 1 year by performing a Holter. The difference was 60.2% versus 35.5% in favor of...
AFIB ABLATION PILOT: Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation by Radiofrequency.
Review: A European multicenter registry, (mainly in France, Italy and Germany), which included 1,410 patients – evidence of real-world – in which ablation performed by radiofrequency had a success rate of 74% (without arrhythmias to 3 months) and a low rate of complications, (2.6%, 0.54% CVA and 0.71% vascular injuries). With patients in whom the...
CORE 320: Diagnostic performance of coronary angiotomography including evaluation of myocardial perfusion versus isolated anatomical assessment.
Review: The CORE-320 multicenter study compared combined angiotomography assessments: anatomical (coronary) and functional (myocardial perfusion) versus anatomical only. For this study, 381 patients who were evaluated by coronary angiography and non-invasive myocardial perfusion gated SPECT were included. In this study the combined evaluation showed better correlation with the observed measurements in assessing the invasive assessment...
WOEST: Randomized trial that compared dual therapy versus triple therapy on anticoagulated patients.
A multicenter randomized study, (n = 573), that evaluated the role of aspirin in anticoagulated patients undergoing angioplasty. The primary endpoint was the rate of total bleeding, (TIMI), at 12 months follow-up. The administration of a dual therapy, (warfarin + clopidogrel), showed a significant reduction compared with the triple therapy, (19.5% vs. 44.9%, P <0.001)....
ACCESS-EUROPE: 12 months results in percutaneous treatment of mitral insufficiency .
Presentation Summary: ACCESS-EUROPE multicenter registry included 567 patients with severe mitral regurgitation treated with Mitral Clip in 14 European centers. Procedural success was high, (99.6%), while the 30-day mortality rate, (3.4%) and the one year rate, (18.2%) was acceptable. Annual mortality was more pronounced in those patients with a EuroSCORE greater than 20%, (76.3% vs....
