Comparative StudySwitch to Ticagrelor in critical limb ischemia antiplatelet study (STT-CLIPS).
To investigate platelet reactivity in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) after switching from clopidogrel to ticagrelor. ⋯ Among patients with CLI, ticagrelor achieved greater platelet inhibition than clopidogrel during maintenance treatment and at 6h after daily dosing. High on-treatment platelet reactivity to clopidogrel in patients with CLI can be overcome by switching to ticagrelor.

Intraprocedural invasive hemodynamic parameters as predictors of short- and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Evaluation of invasive hemodynamic parameters as prognostic markers of mortality in patients undergoing TAVR. ⋯ In patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR, invasive monitoring can assess for hemodynamic prognostic markers of survival.
