In the phase 3 OCEANIC-STROKE trial involving patients with noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA, asundexian added to antiplatelet therapy led to a lower risk of ischemic stroke without increasing major bleeding.

3 trials on AF with surprising results from the sessions: 1- DECAF: Caffeine consumption reduced the risk of AF post cardioversion 2- OCEAN: Rivaroxaban 15 mg not superior to aspirin in AF patients post ablation 3- CLOSURE-AF: Medical tx better than LAAO in high bleeding risk AF
