Bivalirudin vs. heparin during PCI in STEMI? The 2 best regimens (biv + high-dose post-PCI infusion) vs heparin alone (w/o routine GPI) have not been compared in a powered RCT. That changes Sunday at AHA - I'll be presenting BRIGHT-4, a 6016-pt RCT in STEMI w/radial access.

In a trial involving patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation, double sequential external defibrillation or vector-change defibrillation improved survival as compared with standard defibrillation. #AHA22 nej.md/3TWFwYJ

1/ BRIGHT-4 tweetorial. 6 large RCTs have compared bivalirudin vs heparin during primary PCI in STEMI w/varying results (slide). The 2 best regimens (bival with a post-PCI high-dose infusion and heparin monotherapy [w/o GPI]) have not been compared in an adequately powered RCT.

Do you use cardiac CT for post LAAO surveillance & encounter uncertain findings on the CT? 👉 Read this very important translational & clinical work by Aarhus group at EHJ CVI European Society of Cardiology HAT after LAAO: normal healing or device related thrombus? academic.oup.com/ehjcimaging/ad…

🚨Landmark BEST-CLI trial published NEJM. Likely the most influential RCT in vascular medicine this decade Among 1803 randomized pts with CLI, the incidence of major adverse limb event or death was significantly lower with surgery vs catheter Tx (when suitable SVG is available)

More evidence of a negative impact of peri-device leak after LAAO👇 In this analysis of Amulet IDE trial, PDL ≥3mm was associated with ⬆️ risk of the composite endpoint of stroke, SE, or CV death jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

This is SHOCKING. Would never have expected early-mobilization in the ICU to be harmful. WesElyMD Todd Rice @vanderbilt thoughts/rebuttal/criticisms? nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
