Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on short-term mortality in patients undergoing transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TA-TAVI), where bleeding is common.
- Out of 11,265 TAVI participants, 548 had TA-TAVI, with 209 receiving RBC transfusions, and the study found a significant association between transfusion and increased 30-day mortality.
- The research concluded that RBC transfusion independently predicts higher short-term mortality in TA-TAVI patients, regardless of other factors like major bleeding and kidney injury.
Article Synopsis
- Dialysis is a serious but rare complication following transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and researchers analyzed the TRITAVI registry to develop a clinical score for assessing this risk.
- They identified various preprocedural factors (like male sex, diabetes, and anemia) and procedural features (like contrast volume and need for transfusion) that contribute to the risk, resulting in two scoring systems (TRITAVIpre and TRITAVIpost) which demonstrated strong predictive power.
- The study confirmed that the need for dialysis significantly increases mortality rates, emphasizing the importance of the developed scores in predicting dialysis risk before the procedure.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted global health. The aim of this study was to compare predictors of symptoms-to-emergency-call timing delay in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their impact on mortality before and during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods: We collected sociodemographic, clinical data, procedural features, preadmission and intra-hospital outcomes of consecutive patients admitted for ACS in seventeen Italian centers from March to April 2018, 2019, and 2020.
This study aimed to compare complete revascularization (CR) guided by angiography with a fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided strategy in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease (MVD). CR is preferred to culprit-only revascularization for patients with STEMI and MVD. However, whether FFR-guided CR is superior to angiography-guided CR is unclear in patients presenting with STEMI who have MVD.

We sought to compare the predictive ability of the PRECISE-DAPT score calculated at baseline and reassessed during follow-up in male and female patients undergoing PCI. The RE-SCORE was a multicenter, prospective registry including patients undergoing PCI treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 1 year.
