CGCF @ GW-ICC Joint Forum – Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology (GW-ICC) 2017 – Safety and Efficacy Results in the EWOLUTION Trial – Special Focus on the DAPT Subgroup

It has become a tradition for world renowned cardiology associations to send delegations to GW-ICC congresses.

Cooperation with these international societies is not limited to their attendance at GW-ICC; GW-ICC also holds reciprocal academic sessions at the annual meetings of these eminent societies, for example GW-ICC @ ACC, GW-ICC @ AHA, and GW @ ESC, to introduce important Chinese academic research.

At the 28th GW-ICC in 2017, the China-German Cardiovascular Forum (CGCF) held a Joint session – New Trends on Valvular Heart Disease and Coronary Heart Disease. A video of one of these 2017 sessions is now available to view on the GW-ICC YouTube channel:

Safety and Efficacy Results in the EWOLUTION Trial – Special Focus on the DAPT Subgroup

Presenter: Sven Möbius-Winkler, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Jena, Germany.

Professor Möbius-Winkler discusses how:

  • One-year outcome data following LAA closure with the WATCHMAN device find a safety profile as low as other left atrial procedures.
  • Bleeding with DAPT is the most relevant SAE.
  • Efficacy regarding stroke prevention in this high risk, mostly OAC ineligible patient cohort is similar to randomized trials with OAC eligible patients.
  • Stroke rate in EWOLUTION DAPT subgroup is similar to ARISTOTLE subgroup CHA2DS2-VASc>
  • The 2016 ESC guidelines on atrial fibrillation recommending LAA closure for patient contraindicated for adequate N(OAC) therapy where supported by EWOLUTION one-year results.

Further information on the 29th GW-ICC, to be held October 11th -14th, 2018, in Beijing, China, is available on the congress website:
