- - The study examined the occurrence of thromboembolic complications in young patients (under 25) with atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter (AFl) and analyzed how anticoagulation is practiced in this group across multiple medical centers from 2000 to 2019.
- - Among 210 patients with 311 episodes of AFib/AFl, 12 episodes were linked to blood clots, predominantly in patients with structural heart disease, while only 34% were discharged on aspirin and 27% on anticoagulants.
- - The findings indicate that while thromboembolic events can occur in this age group, they are generally rare after treatment like cardioversion, and the CH
We aimed to investigate contemporary management and outcomes of bile leakage in patients who underwent hepatectomy with hepaticojejunostomy for liver malignancy. The NSQIP database was used to study clinical data of patients who underwent a hepatectomy with hepaticojejunostomy for a primary hepatobiliary cancer and developed bile leakage between 1/2014 and 12/2017. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to investigate outcomes.
