The advent of novel B-cell receptor pathway targeting agents like ibrutinib dramatically changed management of B-cell malignancies. However, with concomitant anticoagulation (AC) and antiplatelet (AP) therapy, ibrutinib is associated with increased bleeding. This analysis aimed to determine the role of AC/AP therapy in patients with idelalisib-treated B-cell malignancies and to establish if it contributes to increased bleeding events. Data from two idelalisib trials (rituximab ± idelalisib in chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL] and idelalisib monotherapy in indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma [iNHL]) were analyzed. Antithrombotic therapy was common (36%-63%), with comparable bleeding incidence across treatment groups (14%-19%; = 0.56). Bleeding events of grade ≥3 occurred in 0.9% and 3.2% of the idelalisib-treated CLL and iNHL cohorts, respectively. Our findings demonstrate no increase in bleeding events with simultaneous AC/AP treatment and idelalisib use. Hemorrhagic risk is prevalent in these patients and an important consideration when evaluating available treatment options. : NCT01539512 and NCT01282424.

Background: A minimum threshold activated clotting time (ACT) to guide heparin dosing during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower ischemic complications. However, data are variable regarding the risk of high ACT levels. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of peak procedural ACT on complications and mortality for transfemoral and transradial access PCI.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common hereditary cerebral small vessel disease caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. This review highlights the increasing recognition of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) as a significant manifestation of CADASIL, often predominantly characterized by ischemic strokes and vascular dementia. Recent studies indicate that the prevalence of ICH in CADASIL patients ranges from 0.

However, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an alternative to SAVR for AVR. This meta-analysis aims to assess the comparative efficacy and safety of TAVR versus SAVR in low-to-intermediate surgical risk patients by analyzing temporal trends in the outcomes of TAVR and SAVR at various follow-up intervals, providing a more detailed understanding.

Introduction: Compared with the guideline-recommended use of low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for 28 days to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after cytoreductive surgery, oral rivaroxaban avoids the pain and inconvenience of daily injections and reduces medical expenses. The proposed randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin in preventing VTE in patients after surgery for gynaecological malignancies and to provide a reference for clinical medication prevention.
Methods And Analysis: This is a single-centre, randomised, controlled, open-label and assessor-blind clinical trial.

Aims: To examine the cardiovascular safety of combining glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) with aspirin in individuals with obesity, both with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Materials And Methods: This propensity score matched cohort study analysed data from 2 946 579 individuals with obesity, with and without T2D, using the TriNetX US and Global dataset. Participants were categorized into four matched groups: those receiving GLP-1 RA plus aspirin versus those receiving GLP-1 RA alone, for both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
