Efficacy and Safety of Low or Reduced Dose Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Following Left Atrial Appendage Closure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of low-dose direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients undergoing left atrial appendage closure ...

Standard care is often DAPT, but bleeding remains a concern. Could Low-Dose DOACs be the safer, more effective alternative?

Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Versus Angiography-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis This meta-analysis evaluated the clinical outcomes of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease...

Should we rely on Angiography alone for stenting, or does Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) actually save lives?

Efficacy of Nicorandil in Preventing Myocardial Injury and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common procedure for treating coronary artery disease, but it carries a risk of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI). This meta-analysis evaluated the e...

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) restores blood flow, but the procedure itself can cause injury (PMI). Can Nicorandil prevent this?

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between Antegrade and Retrograde Techniques for Chronic Total Occlusion Revascularizations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) present significant challenges in interventional cardiology. This meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy and safety of retrograde versus antegrade techniques in CTO...

The retrograde approach revolutionized CTO-PCI, allowing us to treat "impossible" lesions. But does this complexity come at a cost?

Assessing the Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor (SGLT2i) on Outcomes in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis After acute myocardial infarction, patients are at increased risk for adverse outcomes, including heart failure and death. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown promising cardi...

Post-MI patients are at high risk for developing heart failure. SGLT2 inhibitors have cardioprotective effects, but their efficacy specifically after an MI is not fully established.
