Acute limb ischemia and anticoagulation in patients with history of atrial fibrillation
(2016)BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest source of arterial embolization causing acute limb ischemia (ALI). The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of anticoagulation in AF patients and the treatment ... -
Adherence to oral anticoagulation in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2021)Background: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have superior safety and comparable efficacy profile compared to vitamin-K antagonists (VKAs), with more convenient dosing schemes. However, issues with ... -
Administration of prednisolone and low molecular weight heparin in patients with repeated implantation failures: a cohort study
(2018)Conflicting results exist for low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and prednisolone when tested as separate adjuncts for the improvement of the clinical outcomes in patients with repeated implantation failures (RIF) undergoing ... -
Analysis of the quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials in anticoagulant versus antiplatelet medication for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis as governed by the CONSORT statement
(2021)Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard research in evaluating healthcare interventions. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement improves the quality of RCTs in an evidence-based ... -
Anticoagulant selection in relation to the SAMe-TT2R2 score in patients with atrial fibrillation: The GLORIA-AF registry
(2021)Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better ... -
Anticoagulation after Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: To Bridge or Not with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin?
(2019)Background and Purpose-Bridging therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin reportedly leads to a worse outcome for acute cardioembolic stroke patients because of a higher incidence of intracerebral bleeding. However, this ... -

Antithrombotic Treatment in Cryptogenic Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2019)Background and Purpose- It is unclear whether treatment with anticoagulants or antiplatelets is the optimal strategy in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack of undetermined cause and patent foramen ovale that ... -
Antithrombotic treatment in patients with stroke and supracardiac atherosclerosis
(2020)Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of oral anticoagulants vs antiplatelets in patients with stroke and atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic arch or cervical or intracranial arteries, collectively described as ... -
Assessment of the reporting quality of RCTs for novel oral anticoagulants in venous thromboembolic disease based on the CONSORT statement
(2019)Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the cornerstone of evidence based medicine. Ιt is crucial that RCTs have transparent reporting to facilitate their interpretation. The purpose of the present study is the evaluation ... -
Awareness of thrombotic disease during lockdown: an unusual consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic
(2021)[No abstract available] -
Bleeding risk comparison between direct oral anticoagulants at doses approved for atrial fibrillation and aspirin: systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression
(2020)Background: A considerable proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are still treated with aspirin despite current guidelines due to presumed favorable safety. Aim: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis ... -
Cancer-associated stroke: Pathophysiology, detection and management (Review)
(2019)Numerous types of cancer have been shown to be associated with either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In this review, the epidemiology and pathophysiology of stroke in cancer patients is discussed, while providing vital ... -
Causes and Risk Factors of Cerebral Ischemic Events in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention: The RENo Study
(2019)Background and Purpose-Despite treatment with oral anticoagulants, patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) may experience ischemic cerebrovascular events. The aims of this case-control study in patients with AF ... -
Clinical outcomes and neuroimaging profiles in nondisabled patients with anticoagulant-related intracerebral hemorrhage
(2018)Background and Purpose: The aim of this study was to prospectively validate our prior findings of smaller hematoma volume and lesser neurological deficit in nonvitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) compared with Vitamin K ... -
Closure of patent foramen ovale versus medical therapy in patients with cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack: Updated systematic review and meta-analysis
