Background: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or myocardial infarction (MI), anemia is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Transfusion goals in such patients remain unclear.
Study Question: A meta-analysis of the available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted comparing restrictive and liberal transfusion strategies in patients with symptomatic CAD/MI.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Kuanxiong Aerosol (KXA) on ischemic stroke with reperfusion and elucidate the underlying pharmacological mechanisms.
Methods: In vivo pharmacological effects on ischemic stroke with reperfusion was evaluated using the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (t-MCAO) mice model. To evaluate short-term outcome, 30 mice were randomly divided into vehicle group (n=15) and KXA group (n=15).

Background: Epistaxis is common with antithrombotic therapy and is often troublesome to patients, yet its frequency, severity, and outcomes are poorly characterized.
Methods And Results: Effective Anticoagulation with Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 48 (ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48) randomized 21 105 patients with atrial fibrillation and CHADS2 risk score ≥2 to higher-dose edoxaban regimen (60 mg daily, dose-reduced to 30 mg), lower-dose edoxaban regimen (30 mg, dose reduced to 15 mg, daily), or warfarin. Bleeds were adjudicated using International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis criteria.

Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Postoperative cerebral infarction, a serious complication of surgery, is occasionally experienced with pulmonary vein stump thrombosis (PVST), which is frequently observed after left upper lobectomy (LUL). Herein, we prospectively investigated whether PVST could be safely prevented by intrapericardial ligation of the superior pulmonary vein (SPV) to shorten the SPV stump during LUL.
Methods: In a consecutive 21 patients who underwent LUL, we ligated the proximal intrapericardial SPV with 1-0 silk suture and divided the distal hilar SPV by an automatic stapling device.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, National Cerebral & Cardiovascular Center, Suita, Japan.
Background: The Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI) has defined 5 stages of cardiogenic shock (CS). In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who initially present in stable hemodynamic condition (SCAI CS stage: A or B), CS stages could deteriorate despite therapeutic management. However, deterioration of SCAI CS stages after AMI remains to be fully characterized.
