Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With WATCHMAN® Device in Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation and End-stage Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is more common in patients with renal disease compared to the general population an risk increase to as much as 10 times in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Stroke is an important cause of morbidity, mortality and suffering for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (ESCKD) on hemodialysis.The risk of bleeding in these patients can be roughly 5-fold higher that without it. Current guidelines recommend the use of oral anticoagulants (AO) to prevent stroke or systemic thromboembolism in high-risk patients with AF. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) reduces the risk of bleeding while allows thromboembolic stroke prevention. The aim of the study is to assess the procedural safety on stroke and bleeding prevention of LAAC in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and ESCKD on HD.

Comparison of Fibrinogen Concentrate and Cryoprecipitate in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Patients

The aim of the current pilot study proposal is to compare the use of the purified human fibrinogen concentrate (Fibryga®, Octapharma USA) to cryoprecipitate for the treatment of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-associated bleeding in pediatric cardiac patients in whom fibrinogen supplementation is indicated. The investigators' hypothesis is that fibrinogen concentrate will be as effective as cryoprecipitate in achieving adequate hemostasis after separation from CPB in pediatric cardiac surgery patients. Study Design: this will be a single-center, prospective, randomized, active-control study in pediatric (24 months of age or younger) patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with CPB (n=30) in-whom fibrinogen supplementation after separation from CPB is indicated, based on the presence of clinically-significant bleeding and documentation of low fibrinogen level on viscoelastic point-of-care testing (MCF < 10 mm on the FIBTEM assay of ROTEM). Informed consent will be obtained from a parent or a legal guardian prior to surgery and anesthesia. Once the need for fibrinogen supplementation is confirmed, study participants will be randomized into one of two treatment groups (n=15 in each group): Cryoprecipitate group (dose: 10 ml/kg; active control group) or Fibrinogen Concentrate group (dose: 70 mg/kg; intervention group). There will be no placebo group since withholding treatment is neither consistent with standard of care nor acceptable ethically. No other aspects of care will be modified. In the event that an additional dose of fibrinogen supplementation is required (bleeding with documented hypofibrinogenemia) cryoprecipitate will be administered to all study subjects (including those who received FC). The results of this study will be used for publication as well as the first stage towards a significantly larger randomized multi-center trial (see below). Based on the results of this pilot study the investigators plan to conduct a large multi-center, randomized active-control non-inferiority trial in the future, comparing the use of FC to cryoprecipitate in a much larger cohort of pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB. Ultimately, the results of this trial are likely to improve the care of pediatric cardiac surgical patients experiencing post-CPB bleeding, an under-studied yet high-risk patient population.

What is the Optimal antiplatElet and Anticoagulant Therapy in Patients With Oral Anticoagulation Undergoing revasculariSaTion 2.

The optimal antithrombotic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with a CHA2DS2-VASc score ?1 with concomitant acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or revascularisation by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting, is still unknown. For these patients current North American and European guidelines recommend a triple therapy strategy, including vitamin K antagonists (VKA), aspirin and clopidogrel. A major drawback of this triple therapy strategy is a significant increase in the risk of major bleeding. Furthermore, the ommitance of aspirin and the introduction of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors as well as the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC), created numerous new antithrombotic treatment strategies for these patients with overlapping conditions. To date, evidence on the risks and benefits of these new antithrombotic treatment strategies is lacking. The WOEST 2 Registry aims to improve medical care for patients with AF and/or a heart valve prosthesis ánd undergoing coronary revascularisation through a better understanding of their demographics, antithrombotic management and related in-hospital and long-term outcomes. The WOEST 2 Registry will provide data to support benchmarking of antithrombotic treatment patterns and patient outcomes. Objective: To assess the different management patterns and related in-hospital and long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of combined use of chronic oral anticoagulation and a P2Y12 inhibitor in patients with atrial fibrillation and/or a heart valve prosthesis undergoing coronary revascularisation.

Bleeding in Hospitalized Patients With Liver Disease Undergoing Invasive Procedures

Patients with cirrhosis are frequently hospitalized and often undergo procedures. Knowledge surrounding bleeding risk is sparse and practice patterns vary across centers in regards to bleeding prophylaxis. The goal of this study to is to obtain more knowledge regarding risk factors for procedural related bleeding in patients with cirrhosis and to develop a predictive model to risk stratify patients before undergoing procedures. Through collaboration from centers across the world this study should provide information on prevalence of bleeding and variation in practice patterns for prophylaxis.

Aspirin to Target Arterial Events in Chronic Kidney Disease

This study aims to find out whether people with chronic kidney disease [CKD] should take low dose aspirin to reduce the risk of first heart attack or stroke (cardiovascular disease [CVD]). CKD is common and is associated with an increased risk of CVD. CVD is caused by small blood clots and aspirin thins the blood to reduce the risk of such clots developing but it also increases the risk of bleeding. Aspirin is recommended to prevent further CVD in people who have already had a first CVD event (so called secondary prevention). Here the investigators want to study the use of aspirin as primary prevention in people with CKD who have not had a CVD to prevent the first event, to assess whether the potential benefits exceed the risks. Eligible patients will be recruited from their United Kingdom (UK) general practices and allocated by chance to be prescribed once daily low dose aspirin or usual care only. Follow-up will be for several years both electronically (for general practice, hospital and mortality data) and by annual questionnaires to ascertain CVD and bleeding events.
