Improvement of post-stroke outcomes relies on patient adherence and appropriate therapy maintenance by physicians. However, comprehensive evaluation of these factors is often overlooked. This study assesses secondary stroke prevention by differentiating patient adherence to antithrombotic treatments (ATT) from physician-initiated interruptions or switches.

Warfarin is the most widely used oral anticoagulant in clinical practice. The cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1), and cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) genotypes are associated with warfarin dose requirements in China. Accurate genotyping is vital for obtaining reliable genotype-guided warfarin dosing information.

Background: The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease-of-use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control group of LAAC employing the standard sheath.
Methods: The first n = 32 consecutively treated patients at our site using the Amulet device with the Steerable Delivery Sheath were included in this retrospective analysis.

Clinical Rationale For Study: We have reported that intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) of unknown cause at a young age is associated with lower prothrombin and factor VII and higher antithrombin activity, along with the formation of looser fibrin networks displaying enhanced lysability. Patients with mild-to-moderate bleeding of unknown cause have elevated levels of free plasma tissue factor pathway inhibitor alpha (fTFPIα), inhibiting the tissue factor-factor VII complex and prothrombinase.
Aim Of Study: We hypothesised that patients with an intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) of unknown cause may also exhibit higher fTFPIα.

Case Summary: A 92-year-old woman underwent TAVR for severe aortic stenosis. One month later, the patient developed acute heart failure.
