Background: Rotational and orbital coronary atherectomy (CA) are commonly utilized to treat complex calcified coronary lesions. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate sex differences in procedural complications and clinical outcomes after CA.
Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases were searched for all studies comparing sex differences in procedural and clinical outcomes following CA.
Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disorder primarily involving the peripheral joints. Systemic involvement can occur, including myocardial dysfunction. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a novel diagnostic study which is recently being used to detect subclinical cardiac dysfunction.

- The study analyzed the effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in treating patients diagnosed with left ventricular thrombus.
- A total of 99 patients were evaluated, with most receiving VKAs, and outcomes included rates of ischemic stroke, bleeding events, and resolution of the thrombus.
- Results showed no significant differences between the two groups in stroke incidents, bleeding events, or thrombus resolution, but the authors emphasized the need for further research through randomized clinical trials.
