For this episode we are joined by EBM guru, Dr. Brian Locke, who deftly breaks down all of our statistics questions. Is half dose DOAC as good as full dose DOAC for preventing VTE, and does it reduce bleeding risk? Can procalcitonin reduce duration of antibiotics for infections without compromising mortality rates? Can LLMs like GPT-4 help physicians manage patients better? Can reinforcement learning models predict when to start vasopressin in patients with septic shock? What is the risk of resuming anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation and prior intracerebral hemorrhage? Is high flow nasal cannula as good as non-invasive ventilation for different types of respiratory failure? We answer all these questions and more!Half Dose DOAC for Long Term VTE Prevention (RENOVE)Biomarker-Guided Antibiotic Duration (ADAPT-Sepsis)GPT-4 Assistance for Physician PerformanceOptimal Vasopressin Initiation for Septic Shock (OVISS)DOACs for A fib after ICH (PRESTIGE-AF)High Flow Nasal Cannula vs NIV for Respiratory Failure (RENOVATE)Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/dope License code: NP8HLP5WKGKXFW2R

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster summarizes the March 25, 2025, issue of the JACC, which focuses on advancements in electrophysiology. Highlights include groundbreaking studies on leadless pacemakers, atrial fibrillation treatments, and appropriate use criteria for cardiac devices, with key papers exploring the safety of pacemaker retrieval, the role of electrograms in ablation procedures, and long-term outcomes for left atrial appendage occlusion devices.

In this episode, we review the new 2025 ACC/AHA Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) guidelines, with a particular focus on guideline recommendations for analgesics, P2Y12 inhibitors, parenteral anticoagulation, and lipid management. Key Concepts Nitrates and opioids are recommended for symptomatic relief of chest pain. Some patients may not be appropriate for nitrates (e.g. recent PDE-5 inhibitor use, hypotension, or right ventricular infarction). Opioids are used for nitrate-refractory angina but have a theoretical risk of delaying the effect of oral antiplatelet medications. Prasugrel and ticagrelor are preferred P2Y12 inhibitors over clopidogrel in most patients. Patient-specific factors, including the use of PCI, play a role in P2Y12 inhibitor selection. Anticoagulation with heparin is recommended in nearly all acute coronary syndrome (ACS) scenarios. Alternative anticoagulants may be used depending on whether PCI/CABG is planned and whether the anticoagulant is used prior to PCI/CABG (“upstream”) or during the PCI procedure itself. LDL goals after ACS have changed again. All ACS patients should have an LDL goal < 70 with a consideration of an LDL goal of 55-69. A variety of non-statin therapies may be added to a high intensity statin regimen if LDL is not at goal.

This makes our understanding and implementation of new findings and clinical trial outcomes that much more important as we develop effective, personalized treatment plans for our patients. Tune in to our micro learning course to make sure you're up to date and providing the care your patients deserve.

The POPular PAUSE TAVI trial investigated whether continuing or interrupting oral anticoagulation during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) affected clinical outcomes. The randomized, open-label, noninferiority study included 858 patients and assessed a composite primary outcome of cardiovascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction, major vascular complications, or major bleeding at 30 days. The trial found that continuation was not noninferior to interruption, with higher bleeding risk but no significant difference in thromboembolic events, supporting interruption of anticoagulation in high-bleeding-risk TAVI patients.

We're back, after a brief hiatus! Today we talk about duration of therapy for bacteremia, Factor XI inhibition for atrial fibrillation, whether to stop ACEi or ARB before elective surgery, and whether GLP-1 agonists are beneficial in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Go to minute 7:30 to skip the banter. 7 vs 14 Days of Antibiotics for Bacteremia (BALANCE)Abelacimab vs Rivaroxaban for Atrial Fibrillation (AZALEA-TIMI-71)Asenduxian vs Apixaban for Atrial Fibrillation (OCEANIC-AF)ACEi or ARB Discontinuation Before Surgery (STOP or NOT)Tirzepatide for HFpEF and Obesity (SUMMIT)Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/dopeLicense code: NP8HLP5WKGKXFW2R

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a pivotal study comparing bivalirudin and heparin anticoagulation in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, highlighting that bivalirudin may reduce cardiac mortality and bleeding without increasing thrombotic events. While the findings challenge previous guidelines favoring heparin, limitations in the research prompt caution about immediate changes to clinical practice, emphasizing the need for further exploration of bivalirudin's role in diverse patient populations.

Haemodialysis (HD) requires safe and effective anticoagulation to prevent clot formation within the extracorporeal circuit during dialysis treatments to enable adequate dialysis and minimise adverse events, including major bleeding. Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) may provide a more predictable dose, reliable anticoagulant effects and be simpler to administer than unfractionated heparin (UFH) for HD anticoagulation, but may accumulate in the kidneys and lead to bleeding. in this latest episode fo the podcast Edmund Chung, Knowledge and Information Decimation Editor of the Cochrane Kidney Transplant Group. Edmund is Joined by the lead author on this article Patricia Natale Sydney School of Public Health, The University of Sydney. 

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Frank Peacock and Dr. Jame Neuenschwander about the current statue of VTE, DVT, PE, and AFib management, as well as the approach to anticoagulation reversal.

In the September 3, 2024, issue of JACC, Dr. Samuel Reinhart and team find that using direct oral anticoagulants alone is associated with fewer adverse events compared to combining them with aspirin after left atrial appendage occlusion. Their large-scale study suggests this streamlined approach might be optimal, though further randomized trials are needed to address limitations and refine long-term antithrombotic strategies.

In this episode of the Back Table Podcast, interventional radiologist Dr. Noor Ahmad discusses his algorithm for complex inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrievals and reviews several cases that utilize various retrieval tools. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Argon Medical http://www.argonmedical.com/ --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Ahmad emphasizes that most patients are referred by physicians with whom he maintains good relationships, and both specialties jointly monitor patients after IVC filters are placed. Generally, it is ideal to remove IVC filters around the 3-month mark, with filters in place for over 6 months posing a higher risk of requiring complex retrieval. For preoperative evaluation, obtaining a history of the filter type and placement date, along with CT scans (non-contrast and venogram), is crucial. Anticoagulation is typically discontinued two days prior to retrieval. During the procedure, moderate sedation and internal jugular access are used. However, complex retrievals may necessitate general anesthesia and access through the femoral vein or dual sites. The initial device employed is usually the CloverSnare to hook and extract the IVC filter. If unsuccessful, Dr. Ahmad proceeds with techniques such as the hangman (modified loop snare), endobronchial forceps, and finally the ClavaClear laser sheath. He highlights that particularly challenging cases might require collaboration with colleagues, especially when dual access is needed, possibly requiring rescheduling for general anesthesia availability. Patient safety is emphasized in these scenarios. Lastly, Dr. Ahmad presents past cases with imaging to illustrate various retrieval methods. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 03:29 - Referrals and Tracking for Filter Removal 08:49 - Working Up Complex Cases 13:19 - Patient Selection 20:14 - Procedure Walkthrough 23:22 - Different Strategies for Filter Removal 31:23 - Laser Techniques 34:47 - Sheath Sizing 36:06 - Enhancing Patient Safety 43:34 - Cheat Sheet for IVC Filters and Case Studies --- RESOURCES BackTable Ep. 204- Filter Indications and Filter Tracking: Up Your Game with Dr. Stephen Wang: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/204/filter-indications-filter-tracking-up-your-game BackTable Ep. 339- The Importance of a Multidisciplinary Filter Retrieval Program with Dr. Robert Ryu, Dr. Warren Clements, and Dr. Premal Trivedi: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/339/the-importance-of-a-multidisciplinary-filter-retrieval-program

In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, vascular surgeon Dr. Nicolas Mouawad and interventional radiologist Dr. Raja Ramaswamy share their insights on the changing landscape of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) management, steps of mechanical thrombectomy, and current research on DVT interventions. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Inari Medical https://www.inarimedical.com/ --- SYNPOSIS The guests start by describing their typical referral patterns, noting that most cases come through the emergency department. In terms of workup, it is important to distinguish between acute and chronic DVTs and classify the thrombosis location as either proximal (femoral vein or higher) or distal. Anticoagulation, usually with direct oral anticoagulants, is always started, with efficacy largely determined by patient compliance. Regarding endovascular intervention, thrombolysis may be an effective adjunctive treatment if the clot occurred within a two-week timespan, but it carries a bleeding risk and requires ICU monitoring. On the other hand, mechanical thrombectomy is an option for both acute and chronic clots, allows for intervention in patients with high bleeding risk, and does not require post-procedural hospitalization. Both physicians emphasize that interventions should be employed if there are long-term benefits of avoiding post-thrombotic syndrome and pulmonary embolism. The physicians walk through a typical mechanical thrombectomy procedure, which involves the thrombectomy device, venogram, intravascular ultrasound, and possible stent placement. Finally, they discuss recent data, including the ATTRACT Trial for thrombolytics and the CLOUT Registry and Trial for ClotTriever use.

Reducing barriers to adequate anticoagulation for patients with cancer improves outcomes for those with cancer-associated venous thromboembolisms (CA-VTEs).  Advances in cancer treatments and the resulting improvements in patient survival have led to an increase in the number of patients with cancer who develop a VTE at some point during their treatment (around 15%).  CA-VTE is associated with decreased survival, increased morbidity and hospitalization, and the potential delay or interruption of systemic anti-cancer therapy.  During this series, our faculty will expand clinician knowledge of VTE risk factors and management strategies, discuss optimal anticoagulation therapy selection and guideline adherence, and explore approaches to working with multidisciplinary teams.In this 60-minute program, expert faculty will review CA-VTE risk factors and management strategies, discuss optimal anticoagulation therapy selection and guideline adherence, and explore approaches to working with multidisciplinary teams.  Clinicians can expect to gain valuable insight that will help them understand and overcome barriers to adequate anticoagulant therapy for patients with cancer.
