Mortality in spontaneous coronary artery dissection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide a comprehensive estimate for spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) related mortality, and explore factors associated with an increased risk of death. ⋯ This meta-analysis has shown that SCAD is associated with favorable survival outcomes with an estimated mortality of 1% over a mean follow-up period of 33 months. We also found male sex and smoking were associated with an increased risk of mortality.

Dynamics of cerebral oxygenation during rapid ventricular pacing and its impact on outcome in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Cerebral O2 saturation (ScO2 ) reflects cerebral perfusion and can be measured noninvasively by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). ⋯ During RVP ScO2 significantly declined compared to baseline. A ScO2 decline of >20% is associated with a higher incidence of delirium and stroke and a valid cut-off value to screen for these complications. NIRS measurement during TAVI procedure may be an easy to implement diagnostic tool to detect patients at high risks for cerebrovascular complications and delirium.

Impact of bleeding after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with chronic kidney disease.
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), this study aims to elucidate (a) the bleeding risks associated with CKD, (b) the association between bleeding and subsequent mortality, and (c) the pattern of antithrombotic therapy prescribed. ⋯ CKD is associated with a higher risk of bleeding up to 1 year following TAVR. Long-term bleeding after TAVR is associated with increased subsequent mortality.
