ACC 2022 – POISE-3: Tranexamic Acid, Bleeding and Cardiovascular Events in Non-Cardiac Surgeries

Tranexamic Acid is an antifibrinolytic which has been shown to reduce bleeding in orthopedic patients and cardiac surgery. But evidence for its use in non-cardiac surgery is still limited.  The aim of this study was to assess whether tranexamic acid reduces the incidence of bleeding events, which include life threatening bleeding, major bleeding, or bleeding

Amplatzer and Figulla Devices Prove to Be Safe for Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure

Courtesy of Dr. José Álvarez. In patients with presumed paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) who are at high risk of recurrent thromboembolic events, percutaneous PFO closure is an alternative to pharmacological treatment. This closure has been shown to be safe and feasible with different devices including various technologies based on an umbrella,
