Multicenter StudyContemporary incidence and predictors of stent thrombosis and other major adverse cardiac events in the year after XIENCE V implantation: results from the 8,061-patient XIENCE V United States study.
The aim of this study was to identify predictors of clinical events after XIENCE V (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) stenting. ⋯ In this large, real-world population, XIENCE V demonstrated low event rates at 1 year, with several independent predictors. Early DAPT interruption (≤ 30 days) was the most potent predictor of ST, whereas delayed interruption (>30 days) was not predictive. (XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS] USA Post-Approval Study; NCT00676520).

Evaluation of multidimensional geriatric assessment as a predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
This study evaluated Multidimensional Geriatric Assessment (MGA) as predictor of mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). ⋯ This study provides evidence that risk prediction can be improved by adding MGA-based information to global risk scores. Larger studies are needed for the development and validation of improved risk prediction models.

Multicenter StudyNeed for permanent pacemaker as a complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement in elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis and similar baseline electrocardiographic findings.
The aim of this study was to compare the incidence and predictive factors of complete atrioventricular block (AVB) and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). ⋯ Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was associated with a higher rate of complete AVB and PPI compared with SAVR in elderly patients with severe AS and similar baseline ECG findings. The presence of baseline right bundle branch block correlated with the need for PPI in the TAVI group.

Incidence of overall bleeding in patients treated with intra-aortic balloon pump during percutaneous coronary intervention: 12-year Milan experience.
This study aims to report a "real-world" experience of in hospital complications and clinical outcome of a large cohort of consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) support, from a tertiary care center over a 12-year period. ⋯ Bleeding related to the IABP access site was significantly higher in the Urgent group and accounted for more than two-thirds of overall access site-related bleeding. IABP treatment duration and renal impairment were independent predictors of overall bleeding.
