Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 238 patients with gray-zone fractional flow reserve (FFR) values between 0.75 and 0.80 to compare outcomes of revascularization versus just medical therapy.
- Results showed that patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had significantly lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared to those who deferred treatment.
- The findings suggest that revascularization (PCI) significantly lowers the risk of severe outcomes, such as heart attack and death, when compared to only medical management in patients with gray-zone FFR.
Article Synopsis
- Uninterrupted vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) during atrial fibrillation ablation show better outcomes than bridging with heparin, while studies on uninterrupted new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are limited and small-scale.
- A meta-analysis of 3544 patients from 8 studies found that the rates of stroke, transient ischemic attacks, and major bleeding were similar between patients using uninterrupted NOACs and those using VKAs during the procedure.
- The research indicates that uninterrupted NOACs are as safe and effective as VKAs for patients undergoing ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Slow pathway modification has become the mainstay for the treatment of atrio-ventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation because of high success rate and low incidence of complications. Our patient had a rare complication of slow pathway modification by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in form of delayed complete heart block, occurring 10 days after the procedure and resolving in 6 weeks to normal conduction. Complete AV block is a rare immediate complication of RFA but can present weeks later.
