Very short-term tissue coverage of the CD34 antibody-covered sirolimus-eluting stent: an optical coherence tomography study. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2023; 38:381-387. [PMID: 37204672 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-023-00938-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
It is well known that patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have delayed vessel healing despite accelerated endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) mobilization. The COMBO stent is a unique biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent with an anti-CD34 antibody coating which captures EPC and potentially promotes vessel healing. However, there are limited data about strut tissue coverage at the very short-term period after COMBO stent implantation. This was a prospective study to investigate strut tissue coverage within 1 month after COMBO stent implantation using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Struts fully covered with tissue were defined as covered, and struts with distance from lumen surface longer than strut plus polymer thickness were defined as malapposed. Mean tissue thickness was measured only in apposed struts. A total of 8173 struts of 33 lesions in 32 patients were analyzed at an average of 19.8 ± 4.6 days after COMBO stent implantation. In lesion-level analysis, the rate of covered struts was 89.6 ± 7.2%, the rate of malapposed struts was 0.9 ± 2.0% and mean tissue thickness was 46.8 ± 14.3 µm. In comparison between AMI (n = 12) and non-AMI (n = 21) patients, there were no significant differences in the rate of covered struts (88.4 ± 8.4% vs. 90.2 ± 6.6%, p = 0.48) and mean tissue thickness (46.8 ± 13.7 µm vs. 46.9 ± 15.0 µm, p = 0.98). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that time from implantation to OCT imaging was significantly associated with mean tissue thickness. The COMBO stent had substantial tissue coverage at the very short-term period after implantation even in AMI patients, and follow-up time had an impact on vessel healing.

Association of preoperative clinical frailty and clinical outcomes in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention. Heart Vessels 2023; 38:1205-1217. [PMID: 37285031 PMCID: PMC10465392 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-023-02276-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
There are few reports on the long-term clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated with frailty. This novel study investigated the association between pre-PCI frailty and long-term clinical outcomes in elderly patients aged 65 years or older with stable CAD who underwent elective PCI. We assessed 239 consecutive patients aged 65 years or older with stable CAD who underwent successful elective PCI at Kagoshima City Hospital between January 1st, 2017 and December 31st, 2020. Frailty was retrospectively assessed using the Canadian Study and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Based on the pre-PCI CFS, patients were divided into two groups: the non-frail (CFS < 5) and the frail (CFS ≥ 5) group. We investigated the association between pre-PCI CFS and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and heart failure requiring hospitalization. Additionally, we assessed the association between pre-PCI CFS and major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding. The mean age was 74.8 ± 7.0 years, and 73.6% were men. According to the pre-PCI frailty assessment, 38 (15.9%) and 201 (84.1%) were classified as frail and non-frail groups, respectively. During a median follow-up of 962 (607-1284) days, 46 patients developed MACEs and 10 patients developed major bleeding events. Kaplan-Meier curves showed a significantly higher incidence of MACE in the frail group compared to those in the non-frail group (Log-rank p < 0.001). Even in multivariate analysis, pre-PCI frailty (CFS ≥ 5) was independently associated with MACE (HR 4.27, 95% CI 1.86-9.80, p-value: < 0.001). Additionally, the cumulative incidence of major bleeding events was significantly higher in the frail group than in the non-frail group (Log-rank p = 0.001). Pre-PCI frailty was an independent risk factor for MACE and bleeding events in elderly patients with stable CAD who underwent elective PCI.

Significance of pharmacist intervention to oral antithrombotic therapy in the pharmaceutical outpatient clinic of cardiovascular internal medicine: a retrospective cohort study. J Pharm Health Care Sci 2023; 9:28. [PMID: 37667376 PMCID: PMC10478176 DOI: 10.1186/s40780-023-00296-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimised antithrombotic therapy requires clinical experience and an understanding of the current guidelines. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate whether pharmacist interviews and interventions with patients taking oral antithrombotic drugs in the pharmaceutical outpatient cardiology clinic had favourable clinical outcomes including decreased bleeding. METHODS The participants included patients visiting the outpatient clinic of cardiovascular internal medicine at the Kobe University Hospital from January-December 2017, and were taking oral antithrombotic medication. The observation period was from the first visit to the outpatient clinic to October 2021 or death. Patients who received pharmacist intervention more than twice were defined as the pharmacist intervention group. Two control patients per one pharmacist intervention group individual were selected from the non-intervention pool matched for age, gender and antithrombotic medication type. RESULTS Of the 895 eligible patients, 132 were in the pharmacist intervention group and 264 were selected for the matched non-intervention group. Bleeding events according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria over type 2 were significantly lower in the pharmacist intervention group compared with the non-intervention group (17.4% versus 28.4%, P = 0.019). There were no significant differences in mortality and heart failure hospitalisation frequency, stroke, or cardiovascular events between the groups. Multivariate analysis identified age (≥ 65 years) and pharmacist intervention as factors associated with bleeding (odds ratio = 2.29 and 0.51, respectively). CONCLUSION Pharmacist intervention in the outpatient clinic of cardiovascular internal medicine was effective in reducing the risk of bleeding in patients undergoing antithrombotic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As there is no consensus on the impact of antithrombotic drugs on post-gastrectomy outcomes in gastric cancer patients, this study aimed to investigate the impact of antithrombotic drugs on postoperative outcomes in these patients after gastrectomy. METHODS Patients with Stage I-III primary gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy between April 2005 and May 2022 were included. We performed propensity score matching to adjust for patient background and compared bleeding complications. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with bleeding complications. RESULTS Of the 6798 patients, 310 (4.6%) were in the antithrombotic group and 6488 (95.4%) were in the non-antithrombotic group. Twenty-six patients (0.38%) experienced bleeding complications. After matching, the number of patients in each group was 300, with insignificant differences in any factor. A comparison of postoperative outcomes showed no difference in bleeding complications (P = 0.249). In the antithrombotic group, 39 (12.6%) continued drugs, and 271 (87.4%) discontinued them before surgery. After matching, there were 30 and 60 patients, respectively, with no differences in patient background. A comparison of postoperative outcomes showed no differences in bleeding complications (P = 0.551). In multivariate analysis, antithrombotic drug use and continuation of antiplatelet agents were not risk factors for bleeding complications. CONCLUSION Antithrombotic drugs and its continuation may not worsen bleeding complications in patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. Bleeding complications were rare, and further studies are needed on risk factors for bleeding complications in larger databases.

Impact of heart failure severity and major bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention on subsequent major adverse cardiac events. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY. CARDIOVASCULAR RISK AND PREVENTION 2023; 18:200193. [PMID: 37415925 PMCID: PMC10320317 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcrp.2023.200193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
Background Heart failure (HF) is associated with a high bleeding risk after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Additionally, major bleeding events increase the risk of subsequent major adverse cardiac events (MACE). However, whether brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and major bleeding events following PCI are associated with MACE and all-cause death remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the impact of HF severity or bleeding on subsequent MACE and all-cause death. Methods The Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS), a multicenter database involving seven hospitals in Japan, was developed to collect data from electronic medical records. This retrospective analysis included 7160 patients who underwent PCI between April 2014 and March 2020 and completed a three-year follow-up. Patients were divided according to the presence of HF with high BNP (HFhBNP) (>100 pg/ml) and major bleeding events within 30 days post-PCI (30-day bleeding): HFhBNP with bleeding (n = 14), HFhBNP without bleeding (n = 370), non-HFhBNP with bleeding (n = 74), and non-HFhBNP without bleeding (n = 6702). Results In patients without 30-day bleeding, HFhBNP was a risk factor for MACE (hazard ratio, 2.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.56-3.07) and all-cause death (hazard ratio, 1.60; 95% confidence interval, 1.60-2.23). Among HFhBNP patients, MACE incidence was higher in patients with 30-day bleeding than in those without bleeding, but the difference was not significant (p = 0.075). The incidence of all-cause death was higher in patients with bleeding (p = 0.001). Conclusions HF with high BNP and bleeding events in the early stage after PCI might be associated with subsequent MACE and all-cause death.

Abstract
It remains unknown whether the recent trend of short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy can simply be applied to patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy vs. conventional DAPT in patients undergoing complex PCI and non-complex PCI (PROSPERO: CRD42022335723). Primary endpoint was the 1-year Net Adverse Clinical Event (NACE). Among 5,323 screened studies, six randomized trials fulfilled the eligibility criteria. A total of 10,588 complex PCI patients (5,269 vs. 5,319 patients) and 25,618 non-complex PCI patients (12,820 vs 12,798 patients) were randomly assigned to P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy vs. conventional DAPT. In complex PCI patients, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy was associated with a lower risk of NACE than conventional DAPT [Odds ratio (OR) 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63-0.91, P = 0.003], whereas in non-complex PCI patients, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy was associated with a trend toward lowering the risk of NACE (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.72-1.02, P = 0.09). This meta-analysis across randomized trials demonstrated that a strategy of short DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy reduces the risk of 1-year NACE in patients undergoing complex PCI.

Abstract
Lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) is an arterial occlusive disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. Estimated plasma volume status (ePVS), a marker of plasma volume expansion and contraction, is gaining attention in the field of cardiovascular diseases. However, the impact of ePVS on the clinical outcomes of patients with LEAD remains unclear. We calculated ePVS using two different formulas, Kaplan-Hakim (KH-ePVS) and Duarte (D-ePVS), in 288 patients (mean age, 73 years; 77% male) with LEAD who underwent the first endovascular therapy (EVT), and prospectively followed them up between 2014 and 2019. All patients were divided into two groups based on the median ePVS values. The primary endpoints were composite events, including all-cause death and major adverse limb events (death/MALE). The median follow-up duration was 672 days. There were 183, 40 and 65 patients in Fontaine classes II, III, and IV, respectively. The median KH-ePVS and D-ePVS was 5.96 and 5.09, respectively. The ePVS significantly increased with advancing Fontaine classes. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the high ePVS group had higher rates of death/MALE than the low ePVS group. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that each ePVS was an independent predictor for death/MALE after adjusting for confounding risk factors. The prognostic ability for death/MALE was significantly improved by adding ePVS to the basic predictors. ePVS was associated with LEAD severity and clinical outcomes, suggesting that ePVS could be an additional risk factor for death/MALE in patients with LEAD who underwent EVT. We demonstrated that the association between ePVS and the clinical outcomes of patients with LEAD. The prognostic ability for death/MALE was significantly improved by adding ePVS to the basic predictors. LEAD lower extremity artery disease, MALE major adverse limb events, PVS plasma volume status.

Abstract
Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are the leading causes of death globally. Cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) is the rare occurrence of AMI and AIS, either simultaneously or one after the other. Treatment recommendations are not clear in case of the occurrence of AMI and AIS simultaneously, especially the strategy of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Case presentation We report consecutive seven case series of patients with CCI who underwent primary PCI in our institute. Comorbidities, strategy of primary PCI, and outcomes were investigated. All patients presented with the chief complaints associated with stroke. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was complicated in five of CCI patients, and four of AF patients were not anticoagulated. The major causes of stroke were cardiogenic and/or hemodynamic in this case series. All patients showed total occlusion in the culprit lesion, and six patients had other diseased vessels. Thrombus aspiration was mainly chosen as the reperfusion strategy in PCI. However, only two patients were diagnosed as definitive coronary embolism, and stenting was needed in six patients due to severe atherosclerotic lesion in culprit coronary artery. Final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 3 flow was achieved only in four patients. Hemorrhagic complications occurred in three patients. Two patients died during in-hospital stay, and most had to be transferred for rehabilitation. Conclusions CCI was a rare but fatal condition in patients who underwent primary PCI. Although CCI was associated with concomitant atrial fibrillation, organic coronary stenosis requiring stenting for revascularization was present in almost all the cases. Given the complexity of coronary artery lesions and high in-hospital mortality, further investigations are needed to determine the optimal treatment strategy.

Abstract
Objectives Despite the rapid aging of the population in Japan, clinical predictors for major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events (MACCE) in patients with new onset of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) have not been well studied. This study therefore aimed to identify the predictors of MACCE in the first onset of ACS patients requiring care. Materials and Methods Using the Yokohama Original Medical Database, we identified 3,373 patients who experienced a first onset of ACS and had certified care information from April 2014 to March 2016. The incidence proportion of MACCE from June 2014 to March 2018 was retrospectively investigated. Each patient's independence of daily living (IDL) was classified as one of three categories (reference, mild and severe). Results Predictors of MACCE were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Impaired IDL was associated with increased MACCE, with adjusted odds ratios for reference, mild and severe of 1.00, 1.35 (95% confidence intervals 1.14-1.60) and 2.12 (95% confidence intervals 1.61-2.80; P for trend < 0.001), respectively. Conclusions This study revealed that male sex, chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, high-intensity statin use, low-intensity statin use, and lower IDL (representing less independence) were the predictors of MACCE requiring care for a first onset of ACS. Further research will be required to understand the results of interventions for the identified predictors of MACCE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with CA stenosis due to median arcuate ligament often required carefully collateral pathways management to avoid hepatic ischemic complications. CASES PRESENTATION Case 1: A 63-year-old man was referred to our department because of jaundice with distal common bile duct tumor. Pancreaticoduodenectomy with left posterior SMA first approach and circumferential lymphadenectomy was performed. Case 2: A 48-year-old man was referred to our department because of right-upper-quadrant abdominal pain with Vater tumor. Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy with left posterior SMA first approach and circumferential lymphadenectomy was performed. Postoperatively, in all two cases, three-dimensional reconstruction images showed developed collateral pathways around the pancreatic head, and the CA was stenosis in 75% and 70% due to MAL, respectively. Intraoperatively, in all two cases, we confirmed poor blood flow in the common hepatic artery (CHA) by palpation and observation. So that in the first case, we have decided to proceed a no-touch technique of GDA segmental resection en bloc with the tumor and reconstructed with an end-to-end GDA anastomosis; in the second cases, we have decided to proceed gastroduodenal collateral preservation. When preserving these collateral pathways, we confirmed that the PHA flow remained pulsatile as an indicator that the blood flow was adequate. CONCLUSION Celiac axis stenosis was a rare but difficult-to-managed condition associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Collateral pathways management depends on variety of collateral pathways.

Abstract
Background: Recent revisions of clinical guidelines by the Japanese Circulation Society, American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology, and European Society of Cardiology updated the management of antithrombotic strategies for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the extent to which these guidelines have been implemented in real-world daily clinical practice is unclear. Methods and Results: We conducted surveys on the status of antithrombotic therapy for patients with AF undergoing PCI every 2 years from 2014 to 2022 in 14 cardiovascular centers in Japan. The primary use of drug-eluting stents increased from 10% in 2014 to 95-100% in 2018, and the use of direct oral anticoagulants increased from 15% in 2014 to 100% in 2018, in accordance with the revised practice guidelines. In patients with acute coronary syndrome, the duration of triple therapy within 1 month was approximately 10% until 2018, and increased to >70% from 2020. In patients with chronic coronary syndrome, the duration of triple therapy within 1 month was approximately 10% until 2016, and >75% from 2018. Since 2020, the most common timing of discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy to transition to anticoagulation monotherapy during the chronic phase of PCI has been 1 year after PCI. Conclusions: Japanese interventional cardiologists have updated their treatment strategies for patients with AF undergoing PCI according to revisions of clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of dual antithrombotic therapy (DAT) with oral anticoagulant and P2Y12 inhibitors (P2Y12i) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have not been well investigated. The purpose of this study was first to evaluate clinical outcomes of DAT with P2Y12i compared with triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT), and then to compare DAT with low-dose prasugrel and DAT with clopidogrel, in patients with AF undergoing PCI. METHODS This study was a multicenter, non-interventional, prospective and retrospective registry. A total of 710 patients with AF undergoing PCI between January 2015 and March 2021 at 15 institutions were analyzed. Clinical outcomes within 1 year, including major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major bleeding events (BARC 3 or 5) were compared between patients receiving DAT (n = 239) and TAT (n = 471), and then, compared among prasugrel-DAT (n = 82), clopidogrel-DAT (n = 157), and TAT. RESULTS The DAT group showed significantly lower incidence of MACE and major bleeding events compared with the TAT group (log-rank p = 0.013 and 0.047). In the multivariable Cox regression analyses, DAT (p = 0.028), acute coronary syndrome (p = 0.025), and anemia (p = 0.015) were independently associated with MACE. In addition, anemia (p = 0.022) was independently associated with, and DAT (p = 0.056) and thrombocytopenia (p = 0.051) tended to be associated with, major bleeding events. When analyzed among the prasugrel-DAT, clopidogrel-DAT, and TAT groups, there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between the prasugrel-DAT and clopidogrel-DAT groups, and similar trends were observed for both 2 groups in comparison with the TAT group. CONCLUSIONS In AF patients undergoing PCI, DAT was associated with lower incidence of MACE and major bleeding events compared with TAT. In comparison of P2Y12i, there might be no significant difference in the incidence of MACE and bleeding events between prasugrel-based DAT and clopidogrel-based DAT.

Abstract
Background Despite a reduction in the rate of thrombotic events, ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains a key medical problem associated with high major bleeding and mortality in Asian patients with IHD. Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15, a stress-response cytokine belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily, is reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in Western patients with IHD. However, the clinical significance of GDF-15 in Asian patients with IHD has not yet been fully elucidated. Objectives The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of serum GDF-15 on clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with IHD. Methods Serum GDF-15 levels were evaluated in 632 consecutive patients with IHD. All patients were followed up for a median period of 2.8 years. The primary endpoint was the all-cause mortality rate. Secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), heart failure (HF)-related rehospitalization, bleeding, and thrombotic events. Results Serum GDF-15 levels were elevated in acute coronary syndrome, severe coronary artery disease, and the major Japanese version of the high bleeding risk criteria. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis demonstrated that GDF-15 was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality, MACE, HF-related rehospitalizations, and bleeding events after adjusting for confounding risk factors but not for thrombotic events. Adding GDF-15 to risk factors significantly improved the net reclassification index and integrated discrimination improvement for all-cause deaths, MACE, HF-related rehospitalization, and bleeding events. Conclusions Serum GDF-15 could be a feasible marker for major bleeding and adverse clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with IHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy without aspirin immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been tested in East Asian patients, so in this study we aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of reduced dose (3.75 mg/day) prasugrel monotherapy in Japanese patients presenting with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). METHODS AND RESULTS ASET-JAPAN is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm pilot study that completed enrolment of 206 patients from 12 Japanese centers in September 2022. Patients with native de-novo coronary lesions and a SYNTAX score <23 were treated exclusively with biodegradable-polymer platinum-chromium everolimus-eluting stent(s). Patients were loaded with standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and following successful PCI and optimal stent deployment, they received low-dose prasugrel (3.75 mg/day) monotherapy for 3 months. The primary ischemic endpoint was a composite of cardiac death, spontaneous target-vessel myocardial infarction, or definite stent thrombosis. The primary bleeding endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5. At 3-month follow-up, there were no primary bleeding or ischemic events, or any stent thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study showed the safety and feasibility of prasugrel monotherapy in selected low-risk Japanese patients with CCS. This "aspirin-free" strategy may be a safe alternative to traditional DAPT following PCI.

Drug-coated balloon strategy following orbital atherectomy for calcified coronary artery compared with drug-eluting stent: One-year outcomes and optical coherence tomography assessment. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2023.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified coronary artery remains challenging in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. While recent studies reported the efficacy of orbital atherectomy (OA) combined with DES for calcified lesion, the effectiveness of drug-coated balloon (DCB) following OA has not been fully elucidated. METHODS Between June 2018 and June 2021, 135 patients who received PCI for calcified de novo coronary lesions with OA were enrolled and divided into two groups; OA followed by DCB (n = 43) if the target lesion achieved acceptable preparation, or second- or third-generation DESs (n = 92) if the target lesion showed suboptimal preparation between June 2018 and June 2021. All patients underwent PCI with optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. The primary endpoint was 1-year major adverse cardiac event (MACE), that was a composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization. RESULTS Mean age was 73 years and 82% was male. In OCT analysis, maximum calcium plaque was thicker (median: 1050 µm [interquartile range (IQR): 945-1175 µm] vs. 960 µm [808-1100 µm], p = 0.017), calcification arc tended to larger (median: 265° [IQR: 209-360°] vs. 222° [162-305°], p = 0.058) in patients with DCB than in DES, and the postprocedure minimum lumen area was smaller in DCB compared with minimum stent area in DES (median: 3.83 mm2 [IQR: 3.30-4.52 mm2 ] vs. 4.86 mm2 [4.05-5.82 mm2 ], p < 0.001). However, 1 year MACE free rate was not significantly different between 2 groups (90.3% in DCB vs. 96.6% in DES, log-rank p = 0.136). In the subgroup analysis of 14 patients who underwent follow-up OCT imaging, late lumen area loss was lower in patients with DCB than DES, despite lower lesion expansion rate in DCB than DES. CONCLUSIONS In calcified coronary artery disease, DCB alone strategy (if acceptable lesion preparation was performed with OA) was feasible compared with DES following OA with respect to 1-year clinical outcomes. Our finding indicated using DCB with OA might be reduce late lumen area loss for severe calcified lesion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Asians often face the problems of clopidogrel resistance and East Asian paradox. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of P2Y12 inhibitors, including low-dose prasugrel 2.5 mg, on the P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) in the chronic phase after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 348 patients were studied. PRU was measured 6-12 months after PCI and subsequently, 6 months later using a P2Y12 assay, respectively. This study evaluated the proportion of bleeding risk (PRU ≤ 85) and ischemic risk (PRU ≥ 239) as primary endpoints, and the prediction of bleeding risk and ischemic risk using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS At baseline, 136 patients (39%) received prasugrel 3.75 mg, 48 patients (14%) received prasugrel 2.5 mg, and 164 patients (47%) received clopidogrel 75 mg. Clopidogrel 75 mg had a significantly higher proportion of ischemic risk within one year after PCI than the other groups, and was an independent predictor for ischemic risk with reference of prasugrel 3.75 mg. In addition, switching from clopidogrel 75 mg to prasugrel 2.5 mg significantly lowered and aggregated the PRU value. Whereas, dose reduction of prasugrel had a significantly lower proportion of bleeding risk over one year after PCI than the continuation of prasugrel 3.75 mg, and was an independent predictor for bleeding risk with reference of continuation of prasugrel 3.75 mg. CONCLUSIONS Prasugrel 2.5 mg has a lower ischemic risk and a more stable PRU value compared with clopidogrel treatment. Prasugrel also contributes to a decline in bleeding risk with concomitant dose reduction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria could apply to peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT). AIMS We sought to evaluate the application of the ARC-HBR criteria to PAD patients undergoing EVT with contemporary drug-coated devices (DCD) for femoropopliteal artery lesions. METHODS Between May 2012 and December 2019, 542 consecutive patients undergoing EVT with DCD for femoropopliteal artery lesions were retrospectively analysed. The primary study endpoint was major bleeding events, defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5. RESULTS Of 542 patients, 435 (80.3%) were stratified into the HBR group. The cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding events was significantly higher in the HBR group than in the non-HBR group (31.9% vs 2.3%; p<0.001). The 5-year major bleeding event rate gradually increased with the number of ARC-HBR criteria (≥2 major criteria: 48.6%, 1 major: 33.1%, ≥2 minor: 12.9%, and non-HBR: 2.3%; p<0.001). Major bleeding events were associated with a 5.4-fold increased risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio: 5.42, 95% confidence interval: 2.91-10.1; p<0.001). Severe chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and severe anaemia were predictors of major bleeding events. CONCLUSIONS 80.3% of PAD patients undergoing EVT for femoropopliteal artery lesions with contemporary drug-coated devices met the ARC-HBR criteria. Given that major bleeding events remarkably increased the risk of mortality after EVT, the ARC-HBR criteria might be helpful for the risk stratification of PAD patients who undergo EVT with contemporary DCD.

Abstract
Protocols for hemostasis after trans-radial approach (TRA) vary depending on the institute as there is no established evidence-based protocol. This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of radial compression protocols. Consecutive patients who underwent outpatient invasive catheter angiography before and after April 2018 were treated with traditional and new protocols, respectively. Using the same hemostasis band, in the conventional protocol, fixed amount of air was removed soon after the procedure, 2 h later, and 3 h later, whereas the air was removed as much as possible every 30 min in the new protocol. A total of 1842 patients (71 ± 10 years old, 77% male) were included. Compared with the traditional protocol group (n = 1001), the new protocol group (n = 841) had a significantly lower rate of dual antiplatelet therapy (35% and 24% in the traditional and new groups, respectively, p < 0.001). The time required for complete hemostasis was approximately one-third with the new protocol (190 ± 16 and 66 ± 32 min, p < 0.001) with no clinically relevant bleeding. The incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) was 9.8% and 0.9% in the traditional and new protocol groups, respectively (p < 0.001). After adjusting for covariates, the new protocol was associated with a reduced risk of RAO (odds ratio 0.10, p < 0.001) and a shorter hemostasis time (odds ratio 0.01, p < 0.001). The new protocol for hemostasis after TRA was strongly associated with a shorter hemostasis time and a lower rate of RAO.

Abstract
Background Individualized treatment approach based on pre-procedural precise risk balance assessment between bleeding and thrombosis would be desirable for patients with myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this ultra-short dual antiplatelet therapy era. We aimed to develop and validate a quick thrombosis/bleeding risk-balance assessment tool. Methods We developed and validated a novel thrombosis/bleeding risk-balance assessment tool using individual patient data from the prospective multicenter MI registry. Individual risks of thrombosis and bleeding within 7 days of the index PCI were estimated using a multinomial logistic regression model. The model was developed in the derivation cohort (4554 patients enrolled during 2003-2009) and validated in the validation cohort (2215 patients during 2010-2014). Results A total of 6769 patients (66 ± 12 years, 5175 men) were eligible in this analysis. Predictive performance of the multinomial logistic regression models for bleeding and thrombosis assessed by calibration plots was good both in the derivation and validation cohorts. The net predicted probability (NPP) was defined as predicted probability of bleeding event (%) - predicted probability of thrombotic event (%). The NPP successfully stratified patients into those with a higher risk of bleeding than thrombosis and those with a higher risk of thrombosis than bleeding. This finding was consistent between the derivation and validation cohorts. Conclusions We have established the risk balance assessment model for bleeding and thrombosis. Pre-procedural quick and precise assessment of the risk balance may help a decision making of procedural strategy and antithrombotic regimens in STEMI/non-STEMI patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology was developed to deliver the antiproliferative drugs to the vessel wall without leaving any permanent prosthesis or durable polymers. The absence of foreign material can reduce the risk of very late stent failure, improve the ability to perform bypass-graft surgery, and reduce the need for long-term dual antiplatelet therapy, potentially reducing associated bleeding complications. The DCB technology, like the bioresorbable scaffolds, is expected to be a therapeutic approach that facilitates the "leave nothing behind" strategy. Although newer generation drug-eluting stents are the most common therapeutic strategy in modern percutaneous coronary interventions, the use of DCB is steadily increasing in Japan. Currently, the DCB is only indicated for treatment of in-stent restenosis or small vessel lesions (< 3.0 mm), but potential expansion for larger vessels (≥ 3.0 mm) may hasten its use in a wider range of lesions or patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. The task force of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) was convened to describe the expert consensus on DCBs. This document aims to summarize its concept, current clinical evidence, possible indications, technical considerations, and future perspectives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The usefulness of the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria in the selection of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors for acute coronary syndrome is unknown. This study investigated whether the selection of antiplatelet agents according to the ARC-HBR criteria could improve clinical outcomes. METHODS This multicenter retrospective study included 1261 patients with acute coronary syndrome who received dual antiplatelet therapy, namely clopidogrel (75 mg, n = 529) or prasugrel (3.75 mg, n = 732) in addition to aspirin. The primary endpoint was net adverse clinical events (NACE) after hospital admission, including ischemic (death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke) and bleeding events (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3 or 5). Secondary outcomes were ischemic and bleeding events. For each patient, the observation period was defined as the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after admission. RESULTS During the observation period (average: 313 days), the rate of NACE was lower in the prasugrel group than the clopidogrel group (20.6% vs. 12.6%, respectively, P < 0.01). In patients who satisfied or did not satisfy the ARC-HBR criteria, prasugrel was associated with a 3.7% and 2.1% lower incidence of NACE, respectively, versus clopidogrel. Ischemic and bleeding events were less frequent in the prasugrel group than the clopidogrel group (11.5% vs. 7.9%, respectively, P = 0.03; 10.6% vs. 5.2%, respectively, P < 0.01). The estimated incidence models for NACE suggested that the difference between clopidogrel and prasugrel was greater in patients who satisfied the ARC-HBR criteria than in those who did not. CONCLUSIONS Prasugrel is preferable to clopidogrel regardless of the ARC-HBR.

Abstract
Although the Japanese high bleeding risk criteria (J-HBR) were established to predict bleeding risk in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the thrombogenicity in the J-HBR status remains unknown. Here, we examined the relationships among J-HBR status, thrombogenicity and bleeding events. This study was a retrospective analysis of 300 consecutive patients who underwent PCI. Blood samples obtained on the day of PCI were used in the total thrombus-formation analysis system (T-TAS) to investigate the thrombus-formation area under the curve (AUC; PL18-AUC10 for platelet chip; AR10-AUC30 for atheroma chip). The J-HBR score was calculated by adding 1 point for any major criterion and 0.5 point for any minor criterion. We assigned patients to three groups based on J-HBR status: a J-HBR-negative group (n = 80), a low score J-HBR-positive group (positive/low, n = 109), and a high score J-HBR-positive group (positive/high, n = 111). The primary end point was the 1-year incidence of bleeding events defined by the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 2, 3, or 5. Both PL18-AUC10 and AR10-AUC30 levels were lower in the J-HBR-positive/high group than the negative group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed worse 1-year bleeding event-free survival in the J-HBR-positive/high group compared with the negative group. In addition, both T-TAS levels in J-HBR positivity were lower in those with bleeding events than in those without bleeding events. In multivariate Cox regression analyses, the J-HBR-positive/high status was significantly associated with 1-year bleeding events. In conclusion, the J-HBR-positive/high status could reflect low thrombogenicity as measured by T-TAS and high bleeding risk in patients undergoing PCI.

Prophylactic Efficacy and Safety of Antithrombotic Regimens in Patients with Stable Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (S-ASCVD): A Bayesian Network Meta-Regression Analysis. Am J Cardiovasc Drugs 2023; 23:257-267. [PMID: 36867384 DOI: 10.1007/s40256-023-00574-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of antithrombotic regimens and their combinations in preventing thrombotic incidents in patients with stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (S-ASCVD). METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The primary comprehensive endpoint was a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, or myocardial infarction, while the secondary endpoints were cardiovascular death, all-cause stroke, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death. The safety endpoint was major bleeding. Bayesian network meta-regression analysis in R software was used to calculate the final effect size and to correct for the effect of follow-up time on the outcome effect size. RESULTS Twelve studies reporting 122,190 patients with eight antithrombotic regimens were included in this systematic review. For the primary composite endpoint, low-dose aspirin plus clopidogrel 75 mg (hazard ratio [HR] 0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.33-0.87) and low-dose aspirin plus rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.34-0.82) showed significantly better efficacy than clopidogrel monotherapy, and the efficacy was comparable among the first two regimens. Unfortunately, none of the active regimens significantly decreased all-cause death, cardiovascular death branch, and all-cause stroke as part of the secondary endpoints. Low-dose aspirin plus ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.69-0.94) and low-dose aspirin plus ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.74-0.95) had a significant advantage in myocardial infarction compared with low-dose aspirin monotherapy, while low-dose aspirin plus 2.5 mg rivaroxaban twice daily (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.41-0.94) was better than low-dose aspirin in the treatment of ischemic stroke. In the major bleeding branch, low-dose aspirin plus ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily (HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.70-2.90), low-dose aspirin plus ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily (HR 2.1, 95% CI 1.70-2.60), low-dose aspirin plus rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.30-2.00), and rivaroxaban 5 mg twice daily (HR 1.5, 95% CI 1.20-1.90) showed higher major bleeding risk compared with low-dose aspirin. CONCLUSIONS Considering MACEs, myocardial infarction, all kinds of stroke, ischemic stroke, and major bleeding, low-dose aspirin plus rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily should be considered the preferred regimen for S-ASCVD patients with low bleeding risk.

Abstract
The Acetyl Salicylic Elimination Trial (ASET) Japan pilot study is a multicentre, single-arm, open-label, proof-of-concept study with a stopping rule based on the occurrence of definite stent thrombosis. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of low-dose prasugrel monotherapy following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Japanese patients presenting with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) or non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). Four hundred patients with a SYNTAX score <23 requiring PCI due to CCS or NSTE-ACS will be screened and considered eligible for the study. The enrolment is planned in two phases: 1) 200 patients presenting with CCS, followed by 2) 200 patients presenting with NSTE-ACS. After optimal PCI with implantation of a SYNERGY (Boston Scientific) stent, patients will be enrolled and loaded with prasugrel 20 mg, followed by a maintenance dose of prasugrel 3.75 mg once daily without aspirin continued for 3 months in Phase 1 (CCS patients), and for 12 months in Phase 2 (NSTE-ACS patients). After these follow-up periods, prasugrel will be replaced by standard antiplatelet therapy according to local practice. The primary endpoint is a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or definite stent thrombosis after the index procedure. The primary bleeding endpoint is any Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5 bleeding occurring within 3 months of the index PCI for CCS patients, or 12 months for NSTE-ACS patients. The ASET Japan study is designed to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of reduced-dose prasugrel monotherapy after PCI in East Asian patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes.

Abstract
AIMS The Academic Research Consortium (ARC) has proposed international criteria to standardize the definition of high bleeding risk (HBR) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In this context, Japan has also established its own guidelines, that is, the Japanese version of HBR (J-HBR) criteria. However, the J-HBR criteria have not been fully validated, especially in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS This bi-center registry included 1079 patients with acute MI undergoing primary PCI in a contemporary setting. Patient bleeding risks were evaluated using the ARC-HBR and J-HBR criteria. The primary endpoint was rates of major bleeding events (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5) at 1 year. RESULTS Of the 1079 patients, 505 (46.8%) and 563 (52.2%) met the ARC-HBR and J-HBR criteria, respectively. Patients who met the J-HBR criteria were found to have a higher rate of major bleeding events at 1 year than those who did not (12.8% vs. 3.3%, p<0.001). When patients were scored and stratified using the J-HBR major and minor criteria, risks of major bleedings were progressively increased with the increase in the number of J-HBR criteria. In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the ARC-HBR and J-HBR significantly predicted subsequent major bleedings after PCI, with ARC-HBR having greater predictive ability than J-HBR. CONCLUSIONS More than half of the patients with acute MI undergoing primary PCI in Japan met the J-HBR criteria. Although the J-HBR criteria successfully identified patients who were likely to develop major bleeding events after primary PCI, the superiority of J-HBR to ARC-HBR in predicting bleeding outcomes warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about intravascular imaging predictors of cardiac events after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We aimed to reveal the association between calcified nodules (CN) and target lesion failure (TLF) in HD patients after DES implantation. METHODS We enrolled 114 HD patients who underwent DES implantation between October 2016 and October 2020. The patients were divided into a CN group (39%, 44 patients) and a non-CN group (61%, 70 patients). The primary endpoint was the incidence of TLF, including cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and clinically driven target lesion revascularization. RESULTS HD duration was longer, and the calcium burden was higher in the CN group than in the non-CN group. Over a median follow-up of 607 days [interquartile range: 349-965 days], the cumulative incidence curve showed that the CN group had a significantly higher incidence of TLF than the non-CN group (31.8% vs. 11.4% within 3 years, p = 0.008). On Fine-Gray sub-distribution hazard model analysis, the CN group was associated with an increased rate of TLF (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21-6.75, p = 0.016). An in-stent CN was observed in 73% of the lesions with target lesion revascularization in the CN group, whereas no in-stent CN was observed in the non-CN group (p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS CN was an independent predictor of TLF in patients undergoing HD. In-stent CN was an important cause of TLF after DES implantation in CN lesions in HD patients; therefore, a different strategy should be considered for treating the lesions.

Abstract
The relationship between coronary artery calcium (CAC) and bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is not well established. This study aimed to examine the association between CAC scores and clinical outcomes after PCI in patients with CCS. This retrospective observational study included 295 consecutive patients who underwent multidetector computer tomography and were scheduled for their first elective PCI. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the CAC scores (low: ≤ 400 or high: > 400). The bleeding risk was evaluated using the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria. The primary clinical outcome was a major bleeding event within 1 year after PCI, defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 3 or 5. The high CAC score group had a higher proportion of patients meeting the ARC-HBR criteria than the low CAC score group (52.7% vs. 31.3%, p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the incidence of major bleeding events was higher in the high CAC score group as compared to the low CAC score group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression anal ysis revealed that a high CAC score was an independent determinant of major bleeding events during the first year after PCI. A high CAC score is significantly associated with the incidence of major bleeding events after PCI in CCS patients.

Abstract
Background High bleeding risk (HBR) and complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are major determinants for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of HBR and complex PCI on short vs standard DAPT. Methods Subgroup analyses were conducted on the basis of Academic Research Consortium-defined HBR and complex PCI in the STOPDAPT-2 (Short and Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Verulam's-Eluting Cobalt-Chromium Stent-2) Total Cohort, which randomly compared clopidogrel monotherapy after 1-month DAPT with 12-month DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel after PCI. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiovascular (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, or stroke) or bleeding (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction [TIMI] major or minor) endpoints at 1 year. Results Regardless of HBR (n = 1,893 [31.6%]) and complex PCI (n = 999 [16.7%]), the risk of 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT was not significant for the primary endpoint (HBR, 5.01% vs 5.14%; non-HBR, 1.90% vs 2.02%; P interaction = 0.95) (complex PCI, 3.15% vs 4.07%; noncomplex PCI, 2.78% vs 2.82%; P interaction = 0.48) and for the cardiovascular endpoint (HBR, 4.35% vs 3.52%; and non-HBR, 1.56% vs 1.22%; P interaction = 0.90) (complex PCI, 2.53% vs 2.52%; noncomplex PCI, 2.38% vs 1.86%; P interaction = 0.53), while it was lower for the bleeding endpoint (HBR, 0.66% vs 2.27%; non-HBR, 0.43% vs 0.85%; P interaction = 0.36) (complex PCI, 0.63% vs 1.75%; noncomplex PCI, 0.48% vs 1.22%; P interaction = 0.90). The absolute difference in the bleeding between 1- and 12-month DAPT was numerically greater in patients with HBR than in those without HBR (-1.61% vs -0.42%). Conclusions The effects of 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT were consistent regardless of HBR and complex PCI. The absolute benefit of 1-month DAPT over 12-month DAPT in reducing major bleeding was numerically greater in patients with HBR than in those without HBR. Complex PCI might not be an appropriate determinant for DAPT durations after PCI.

Abstract
Until recently, coronary revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention has been regarded as the standard choice for stable coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly for patients with a significant burden of ischemia. However, in conjunction with remarkable advances in adjunctive medical therapy and a deeper understanding of its long-term prognosis from recent large-scale clinical trials, including ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches), the approach to stable CAD has changed drastically. Although the updated evidence from recent randomized clinical trials will likely modify the recommendations for future clinical practice guidelines, there are still unresolved and unmet issues in Asia, where prevalence and practice patterns are markedly different from those in Western countries. Herein, the authors discuss perspectives on: 1) assessing the diagnostic probability of patients with stable CAD; 2) application of noninvasive imaging tests; 3) initiation and titration of medical therapy; and 4) evolution of revascularization procedures in the modern era.

Association between the number of Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria and clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome. J Cardiol 2023; 81:553-563. [PMID: 36682715 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria have been used to identify high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in current clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the number of ARC-HBR criteria and clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after an emergent PCI. METHODS We assessed 338 consecutive patients with ACS who underwent successful emergent PCI between January 2017 and December 2020. The ARC-HBR score was calculated by assigning 1 point to each major criterion and 0.5 points to each minor criterion. The patients were classified into low (ARC-HBR score<1), intermediate (1≤ARC-HBR score<2), and high (ARC-HBR score≥2) bleeding risk groups. We investigated the association between the ARC-HBR score and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. We also compared the diagnostic ability of the ARC-HBR score and Controlled Abciximab and Device Investigation to Lower Late Angioplasty Complications (CADILLAC) risk score. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 67.6±12.4years, and 78.4% were men. During the median follow-up of 864 (557-1309) days, 70 patients developed MACEs. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the cumulative incidence of MACE was significantly higher as the ARC-HBR score increased in a stepwise manner (log-rank p<0.001). There were no significant differences in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for predicting MACE within two years after an emergent PCI between the ARC-HBR and CADILLAC risk scores (AUC: 0.763 vs. 0.777). CONCLUSIONS ARC-HBR score was independently associated with an increased risk of MACE in patients with ACS after an emergent PCI. Moreover, it had a similar diagnostic ability for predicting MACE within two years compared to the CADILLAC risk score.

Abstract
Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) infrequently occurs after acute stroke. The Heart-brain team approach has a potential to appropriately manage this poststroke cardiovascular complication. However, clinical outcomes of AMI complicating acute stroke (AMI-CAS) with the heart-brain team approach have not been characterized. The current study investigated cardiovascular outcomes in patients with AMI-CAS managed by a heart-brain team. Methods and Results We retrospectively analyzed 2390 patients with AMI at our institute (January 1, 2007-September 30, 2020). AMI-CAS was defined as the occurrence of AMI within 14 days after acute stroke. Major adverse cerebral/cardiovascular events (cardiac-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke) and major bleeding events were compared in subjects with AMI-CAS and those without acute stroke. AMI-CAS was identified in 1.6% of the subjects. Most AMI-CASs (37/39=94.9%) presented ischemic stroke. Median duration of AMI from the onset of acute stroke was 2 days. Patients with AMI-CAS less frequently received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (43.6% versus 84.7%; P<0.001) and dual-antiplatelet therapy (38.5% versus 85.7%; P<0.001), and 33.3% of them did not receive any antithrombotic agents (versus 1.3%; P<0.001). During the observational period (median, 2.4 years [interquartile range, 1.1-4.4 years]), patients with AMI-CAS exhibited a greater likelihood of experiencing major adverse cerebral/cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR], 3.47 [95% CI, 1.99-6.05]; P<0.001) and major bleeding events (HR, 3.30 [95% CI, 1.34-8.10]; P=0.009). These relationships still existed even after adjusting for clinical characteristics and medication use (major adverse cerebral/cardiovascular event: HR, 1.87 [95% CI, 1.02-3.42]; P=0.04; major bleeding: HR, 2.67 [95% CI, 1.03-6.93]; P=0.04). Conclusions Under the heart-brain team approach, AMI-CAS was still a challenging disease, reflected by less adoption of primary percutaneous coronary intervention and antithrombotic therapies, with substantially elevated cardiovascular and major bleeding risks. Our findings underscore the need for a further refined approach to mitigate their ischemic/bleeding risks.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to determine the status of perioperative antiplatelet therapy in stent-assisted coil embolization (SAC) in Japan. Methods The questionnaire consisted of 13 questions and used Google forms, and was sent to institutions where endovascular specialists were employed. The results were analyzed. Results The responses from 307 centers indicated that the timing of initiation of antiplatelet therapy was 14 days-1 month before treatment in half of centers, and 7-14 days before treatment in the other half. Platelet function tests were performed at 165 centers (56.2%), of which 136 centers (46.3%) performed these tests for all patients, with the VerifyNow system being the most widely used tool. The duration of postoperative dual antiplatelet therapy was 6, 3, and 12 months in 169 (57.7%), 70 (23.5%), and 42 (14.3%) centers, respectively. The antiplatelet agents used for monotherapy were P2Y12 receptor antagonists or aspirin, with a postoperative period of up to 12 months in 139 centers (47.3%), 24 months in 68 centers (23.1%), and longer than 24 months in 50 centers (17%). Conclusion Current antiplatelet therapy for SAC in Japan varies widely among institutions. Moreover, each center has its own empirical rules for SAC. Therefore, the findings of this survey suggest the need to establish guidelines for optimal periprocedural antiplatelet therapy for SAC.

Clopidogrel Monotherapy After 1-Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Diabetes Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 16:19-31.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes was reported to be associated with an impaired response to clopidogrel. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clopidogrel monotherapy after very short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A subgroup analysis was conducted on the basis of diabetes in the STOPDAPT-2 (Short and Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Everolimus-Eluting Cobalt-Chromium Stent-2) Total Cohort (N = 5,997) (STOPDAPT-2, n = 3,009; STOPDAPT-2 ACS [Short and Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Everolimus-Eluting Cobalt-Chromium Stent-2 for the Patients With ACS], n = 2,988), which randomly compared 1-month DAPT followed by clopidogrel monotherapy with 12-month DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel after cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stent implantation. The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, or stroke) or bleeding (TIMI [Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction] major or minor) endpoints at 1 year. RESULTS There were 2,030 patients with diabetes (33.8%) and 3967 patients without diabetes (66.2%). Regardless of diabetes, the risk of 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT was not significant for the primary endpoint (diabetes, 3.58% vs 4.12% [HR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.56-1.37; P = 0.55]; nondiabetes, 2.46% vs 2.49% [HR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.67-1.48; P = 0.97]; Pinteraction = 0.67) and for the cardiovascular endpoint (diabetes, 3.28% vs 3.05% [HR: 1.10; 95% CI: 0.67-1.81; P = 0.70]; nondiabetes, 1.95% vs 1.43% [HR: 1.38; 95% CI: 0.85-2.25; P = 0.20]; Pinteraction = 0.52), while it was lower for the bleeding endpoint (diabetes, 0.30% vs 1.50% [HR: 0.20; 95% CI: 0.06-0.68; P = 0.01]; nondiabetes, 0.61% vs 1.21% [HR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.25-1.01; P = 0.054]; Pinteraction = 0.19). CONCLUSIONS Clopidogrel monotherapy after 1-month DAPT compared with 12-month DAPT reduced major bleeding events without an increase in cardiovascular events regardless of diabetes, although the findings should be considered as hypothesis generating, especially in patients with acute coronary syndrome, because of the inconclusive result in the STOPDAPT-2 ACS trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is a high-risk factor for stent thrombosis, but little is known about the difference in neointimal healing between CTO and non-CTO lesions regarding implanted stents. We investigated factors affecting neointimal healing after stent implantation for CTO and non-CTO lesions using angioscopy. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 106 stents in 85 consecutive patients between March 2016 and July 2020. Their average age was 68 ± 11 years, and participants (73 male and 12 female) underwent follow-up angiography and angioscopy 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The stents (n = 106) were divided into three groups according to the lesion status at the previous PCI: CTO (n = 17), acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n = 35), and stable coronary artery disease without CTO or non-CTO (n = 54). RESULTS The neointimal stent coverage grade was significantly lower in the CTO and ACS groups than in the non-CTO group (0.4 ± 0.5, 0.9 ± 0.8, and 1.4 ± 0.8, respectively, p < 0.001). Thrombi were significantly more frequent in CTO and ACS than in non-CTO (71 %, 51 %, and 15 %, respectively, p < 0.001). The yellow grade in CTO was comparable to that in ACS but significantly higher in CTO than in non-CTO (CTO vs. ACS vs. non-CTO 1.5 ± 0.7, 1.4 ± 0.6, and 0.9 ± 0.7, respectively, p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Delayed healing occurs in stents implanted for CTO lesions. Longer dual-antithrombotic therapy may be beneficial.

Abstract
No predictive clinical risk scores for net adverse clinical events (NACE) have been developed for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated NACE to develop clinically applicable risk-stratification scores in the Bleeding and thrombotic risk evaluation In patients With Atrial fibrillation under COronary intervention (BIWACO) study, a multicenter survey which has enrolled a total of 7837 patients. We also investigated the current status and time trends for the use of antithrombotic drugs. A total of 188 AF patients who had received PCI were examined. At discharge, 65% of patients were prescribed a triple therapy (TT), 6% were prescribed a dual therapy, the remaining 29% of patients received dual-antiplatelet therapy. After 4 years, the fraction of patients continuing TT decreased by 15%, whereas oral anticoagulant alone was only 2% of patients. NACE developed in 20% of patients, resulting in death in 5% of the patients, and the remaining 13% experienced bleeding events. We developed risk scores for NACE comprising the five strongest predictive items, which we designated BIWACO scores. The area under the curve was 0.774 for NACE. Our study explored the differences in treatment practices and guideline recommendations for antithrombotic therapy. We concluded that our BIWACO score is useful for predicting clinical outcomes in AF-patients after PCI.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention using a drug-eluting stent (DES) is a common therapeutic option for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, stent-associated complications, such as bleeding associated with dual antiplatelet therapy, in-stent restenosis, stent thrombosis, and neoatherosclerosis, remain. Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are expected to reduce stent-associated complications. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of DCB therapy and compare it with that of DES therapy in patients with ACS. Materials and Methods In this single-center, retrospective, observational study, we examined all patients with ACS treated with DCB or DES between July 2014 and November 2020. Patients with left main trunk lesions were excluded. The primary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization) at one year. Results Three hundred and seventy-two patients were treated with DES, and 83 patients were treated with DCB. MACE occurred in 10 (12.0%) patients in the DCB group and in 50 (13.4%) patients in the DES group (P=0.73). Conclusions DCB is a valuable and effective therapy for patients with ACS. Moreover, DCB may become an alternative therapy for DES in patients with ACS.

Abstract
Aortic stenosis is a major valvular disease, which affects prognosis, and its prevalence is increasing due to an aging population. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a well-established therapy for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis across the entire risk spectrum, and the number of patients who undergo TAVR is increasing worldwide. Generally, ischemic and bleeding events after TAVR are not rare and can be devastating. Thus, antithrombotic therapy is recommended to prevent thromboembolic events after TAVR. Recently, a lot of randomized control trials have been published on antithrombotic therapy following TAVR, and the situation regarding the optimal antithrombotic regiment following TAVR is dramatically changing. This report reviews the current status and remaining issues in the field of optimal antithrombotic therapy following TAVR and leaflet thrombosis.

Abstract
Background: As life expectancy rises, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is being performed more frequently, even in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study evaluated outcomes of elderly patients with AMI complicated by heart failure (AMIHF), as defined by Killip Class ≥2 at admission, who undergo PCI. Methods and Results: We retrospectively analyzed 185 patients with AMIHF aged ≥80 years (median age 85 years) who underwent PCI between 2009 and 2019. The median follow-up period was 572 days. The rates of in-hospital major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium Type 3 or 5) and in-hospital all-cause mortality were 20.5% and 25.9%, respectively. The proportion of frail patients increased during hospitalization, from 40.6% at admission to 59.2% at discharge (P<0.01). The cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 36.3% at 1 year and 44.1% at 2 years. After adjusting for confounders, advanced age, Killip Class 4, final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade <3, and longer door-to-balloon time were associated with higher mortality, whereas higher left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiac rehabilitation were associated with lower mortality (all P<0.05). Progression of frailty during hospitalization was an independent risk factor for long-term mortality in hospital survivors (P<0.01). Conclusions: The management of patients with AMIHF aged ≥80 years who undergo PCI remains challenging, with high rates of in-hospital major bleeding, frailty progression, and mortality.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is a therapeutic cornerstone to prevent stent thrombosis following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the longer the DAPT duration, the higher the incidence of bleeding and mortality. Since the advent of second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), the continuous evolution of DES has reduced the thrombotic risk and allowed for a shorter DAPT duration. On the other hand, concerns on the elevated risk of bleeding during antithrombotic therapy have been further raised due to the growing number of elderly CAD patients with multiple comorbidities. The consequent debate topic over post-PCI antithrombotic therapy has shifted from simply reducing thrombotic risk to safely minimizing bleeding risk. Due to the significant impact of bleeding on clinical outcomes, including prognosis, current guidelines on antithrombotic therapy for CAD prioritize stratification of patients at a high bleeding risk (HBR) as the top consideration in determining post-PCI antithrombotic therapy. Achieving optimal antithrombotic therapy for each patient undergoing PCI requires a better understanding of the clinical variables constituting the balance of bleeding and thrombotic risk. This review highlights relevant evidence required to optimize antithrombotic therapy for HBR patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Background: Patients taking low-dose aspirin have a higher incidence of gastroduodenal ulcers and higher risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding than patients who do not. Thienopyridine antiplatelet agents may similarly cause bleeding gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers. The incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding is reported to be higher when these antithrombotic drugs are used in combination. Until now, most studies have focused on bleeding, and no study has compared the degree of gastric mucosal injury between patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and those receiving single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) in real-world clinical practice. Aim: Our objective was to compare the degree of gastric mucosal injury in patients taking low-dose aspirin in combination with clopidogrel (one of the thienopyridine antiplatelet agents) with that of patients who were taking aspirin or clopidogrel as a single agent. Methods: Patients who were taking aspirin and/or clopidogrel and who underwent scheduled esophagogastroduodenoscopy between April 2015 and March 2020 were enrolled in this study. Endoscopic images were reviewed retrospectively, and the degree of gastric mucosal injury was assessed with the modified Lanza score (m-Lanza score). The m-Lanza score was compared between DAPT patients taking aspirin and clopidogrel and SAPT patients taking either aspirin alone or clopidogrel alone. Results: The m-Lanza scores of the DAPT group, the aspirin group, and the clopidogrel group were 1.67 ± 1.81 (mean ± standard deviation), 0.95 ± 1.61, and 0.72 ± 1.29, respectively. The m-Lanza score of the DAPT group tended to be higher than that of the aspirin group (p = 0.06) and was significantly higher than that of the clopidogrel group (p = 0.03). Conclusion: The degree of gastric mucosal injury in DAPT patients was significantly higher than that in patients using clopidogrel alone and tended to be higher than that in patients using aspirin alone in real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective Oral diseases, including periodontitis and stomatitis, are highly prevalent worldwide and reportedly associated with the development of cardiovascular disease. Given the high rate of stomatitis in individuals wearing dentures, denture users may be at high risk of poor cardiovascular outcomes. We therefore investigated whether or not the use of dentures is associated with a poor clinical outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods This two-center retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2012 and March 2020. A total of 1046 patients with acute MI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were divided into two groups according to denture use status. The primary outcomes included ischemic events (cardiovascular death, recurrent MI, and ischemic stroke) and major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5). Results Of the 1046 patients with acute MI, 387 (37.0%) used dentures. An older age and prior MI were associated with an increased likelihood of denture use. During the mean 660-day follow-up period, ischemic and major bleeding events occurred in 169 (16.2%) and 102 (9.8%) patients, respectively. Denture use was associated with an increased risk of ischemic events, whereas no significant intergroup differences were observed in major bleeding outcomes. The results were similar among patients ≥75 years old. Conclusions More than one-third of the patients with acute MI wore dentures. Our findings suggest that denture use is significantly associated with an increased risk of ischemic events but not bleeding outcomes after acute MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel or ticagrelor increased bleeding complications in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We aimed to compare the bleeding risks between patients treated with clopidogrel and ticagrelor preoperatively and investigate the influence of discontinuation of clopidogrel and ticagrelor on bleeding risk in off-pump CABG (OPCABG). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with DAPT who underwent OPCABG. The propensity score matching was performed given the baseline differences between clopidogrel- and ticagrelor-treated patients. Bleeding was assessed by chest tube drainage volume and universal definition of perioperative bleeding. RESULTS This study included 836 patients. Five hundred and fifty patients were treated with clopidogrel and 286 patients treated with ticagrelor before surgery. After matching, 275 patients treated with clopidogrel and 275 patients with ticagrelor were included. There were no significant differences in bleeding between clopidogrel and ticagrelor group. Patients who discontinued clopidogrel before surgery <3 d had a higher risk of severe perioperative bleeding compared with those who discontinued ≥5 d (16.4 % vs. 5.0 %, P = 0.045). By contrast, the risk of severe perioperative bleeding was comparable among patients who discontinued ticagrelor for <3 d, ≥3-5 d and ≥5 d preoperatively (16.2 % vs. 9.1 % vs. 10.1 %, P = 0.317). The multivariable analysis confirmed that time since discontinuation (<3 d vs. ≥5 d: OR = 2.732, 95 % CI: 1.332-5.605, P = 0.006) but not the types of P2Y12 receptor antagonist was an independent predictor for severe perioperative bleeding. CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in severe perioperative bleeding between clopidogrel and ticagrelor groups. Discontinuation of clopidogrel <3 d before OPCABG increased the risk of severe perioperative bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In PENDULUM mono, Japanese patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) received short-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) with prasugrel after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). One-year data from PENDULUM mono showed better outcomes with prasugrel monotherapy after short-term DAPT compared with matched patients in the PENDULUM registry with longer DAPT durations according to guidelines at that time. This study presents 2-year results. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared 24-month data from PENDULUM mono (n=1,107; de-escalation strategy group) and the PENDULUM registry (n=2,273; conventional strategy group); both were multicenter, non-interventional, prospective registry studies, using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method. In the PENDULUM mono group, the cumulative incidence of clinically relevant bleeding (CRB) at 24 months post-PCI (primary endpoint) was 6.8%, and that of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) was 8.9%. After IPTW adjustment, the cumulative incidence of CRB was 5.8% and 7.2% in PENDULUM mono and the PENDULUM registry, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57-1.04; P=0.086), and that of MACCE was 8.0% and 9.5%, respectively (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.59-1.01; P=0.061). CONCLUSIONS Japanese PCI patients with HBR prescribed prasugrel SAPT after short-term DAPT had a lower ischemic event risk than those prescribed long-term DAPT, and this was particularly relevant for ischemic events after 1 year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 12-month results of the PENDULUM registry showed that after implantation of second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), high P2Y12reaction unit (HPR) were independently associated with ischemic but not bleeding events. METHODS AND RESULTS This study analyzed cumulative incidences of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 and 5) at 30 months after index percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (primary endpoints). Of 6,422 patients undergoing PCI with DES, 5,796 completed the 30-month follow up. The continuation rate of dual antiplatelet therapy decreased to 59.3% at 12 months and 26.4% at 30 months. At 30 months, the cumulative incidence of MACCE increased linearly and reached 9.5% (95% confidence interval 8.8-10.2) and that of major bleeding had the inflection point at 12 months and was 4.4% (3.9-5.0). MACCE and bleeding events were higher in HPR patients (unadjusted P value). After covariate adjustment, P2Y12reactivity units measured immediately after index PCI was not an independent risk factor for MACCE or major bleeding at 30 months. CONCLUSIONS MACCE consistently increased after 12 months post-PCI, whereas the increase in major bleeding events slowed down after 12 months in Japanese PCI patients in a real-world clinical setting. HPR patients had increased MACCE and bleeding complications, but HPR was not an independent risk factor of events at 30 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stent (PF-BCS) may achieve better arterial healing than a durable polymer drug-eluting stent owing to its polymer-free feature. METHODS AND RESULTS This multicenter, prospective, observational study enrolled 105 patients (132 lesions) who underwent PF-BCS (51 patients, 71 lesions) or durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES, 54 patients, 61 lesions) implantation. Serial coronary angioscopy (CAS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were performed at 1 and 12 months, and the serial vessel responses were compared between PF-BCS and DP-EES. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of subclinical intrastent thrombus on CAS. The secondary outcome measures were: adequate strut coverage (≥40 μm) on OCT and maximum yellow color grade on CAS. The incidence of thrombus was high at 1 month (100% vs. 93%, P=0.091), but decreased at 12 months (18% vs. 25%, P=0.56), without a significant difference between PF-BCS and DP-EES. The adequate strut coverage rate was significantly higher (84±14% vs. 69±22%, P<0.001) and yellow color was significantly less intense (P=0.012) at 12 months in PF-BCS than in DP-EES; however, they were not significantly different at 1 month (adequate strut coverage: 47±21% vs. 50±17%, P=0.40; yellow color: P=0.99). CONCLUSIONS Although the thrombogenicity of PF-BCS was similar to that of DP-EES, the adequate coverage and plaque stabilization rates of PF-BCS were superior to those of DP-EES at 12 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether beneficial effects of higher-dose statins on cardiovascular events are different according to the thrombotic risk in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). METHODS AND RESULTS The Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lipid-Lowering Therapy with Pitavastatin in Coronary Artery Disease (REAL-CAD) study is a randomized trial comparing 4 mg and 1 mg pitavastatin in patients with CCS. This study categorized 12,413 patients into 3 strata according to the CREDO-Kyoto thrombotic risk score: low-risk (N=9,434; 4 mg: N=4,742, and 1 mg: N=4,692), intermediate-risk (N=2,415; 4 mg: N=1,188, and 1 mg: N=1,227); and high-risk (N=564; 4 mg: N=269, and 1 mg: N=295). The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke, or unstable angina. Cumulative 4-year incidence of the primary endpoint was significantly higher in the high-risk stratum than in the intermediate- and low-risk strata (11.0%, 6.3%, and 4.5%, P<0.0001). In the low-risk stratum, the cumulative 4-year incidence of the primary endpoint was significantly lower in the 4 mg than in the 1 mg group (4.0% and 4.9%, P=0.02), whereas in the intermediate- and high-risk strata, it was numerically lower in the 4 mg than in the 1 mg group. There was no significant treatment-by-subgroup interaction for the primary endpoint (P-interaction=0.77). CONCLUSIONS High-dose pitavastatin therapy compared with low-dose pitavastatin therapy was associated with a trend toward lowering the risk for cardiovascular events irrespective of the thrombotic risk in patients with CCS.
