: Dual-pathway inhibition (DPI) with aspirin and rivaroxaban exhibited a net clinical benefit for patients with cardiovascular disease in the randomized COMPASS trial. The non-observational, international XATOA registry showed that the COMPASS results can be reproduced in clinical practice in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Here we report patient characteristics and clinical outcomes for the subgroup of German PAD patients of the XATOA registry and compare them to COMPASS PAD patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of a coronary artery disease (CAD) support program using a mobile application versus nurse phone advice on exercise amount and physical and psychological outcomes for clients at risk of CAD.

Background: Permanent pacemaker (PPM) placement after mitral valve (MV) repair is affected by concomitant procedures, yet existing literature reports conflicting rates. We aimed to characterize the effect of concomitant operation on risk of need for postoperative PPM in patients who underwent MV repair.
Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained institutional database (1996-2020) was conducted of consecutive patients undergoing MV repair, including concomitant procedures.
