Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines on myocardial revascularization define recommendations for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Only little information exists on long-term follow-up and quality of life (QoL) after CABG preceded by PCI. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of prior PCI on outcome and QoL in patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent CABG. METHODS In our retrospective study, CABG patients were divided in: CABG preceded by PCI: PCI-first (PCF), and CABG-only (CO) groups. The PCF group was further divided in guideline-conform (GCO) and guideline nonconform (GNC) subgroups, according to the SYNTAX score (2014 European Society of Cardiology [ESC]/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery [EACTS] guidelines). Thirty days mortality, major adverse cardiac events, and QoL using the European Quality-of-Life-5 Dimensions were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 997 patients were analyzed, of which 784 underwent CABG without (CO), and 213 individuals with prior PCI (PCF). The latter group consisted of 67 patients being treated in accordance (GCO), and 24 in discordance (GNC) to the 2014 ESC/EACTS guidelines. Reinfarction (PCF: 3.8% vs. CO: 1.0%; p = 0.024), re-angiography (PCF: 17.6% vs. CO: 9.0%; p = 0.004), and re-PCI (PCF: 10.4% vs. CO: 3.0%; p < 0.001) were observed more frequently in PCF patients. Also, patients reported better health status in the CO compared to PCF group (CO: 72.48 ± 19.31 vs. PCF: 68.20 ± 17.86; p = 0.01). Patients from the guideline nonconform subgroup reported poorer health status compared to the guideline-conform group (GNC: 64.23 ± 14.56 vs. GCO: 73.42 ± 17.66; p = 0.041) and were more likely to require re-PCI (GNC: 18.8% vs. GCO: 2.4%; p = 0.03). Also, GNC patients were more likely to have left main stenosis (GCO: 19.7% vs. GNC: 37.5%; p < 0.001) and showed higher preinterventional SYNTAX score (GCO: 18.63 ± 9.81 vs. GNC: 26.67 ± 5.07; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION PCI preceding CABG is associated with poorer outcomes such as reinfarction, re-angiography, and re-PCI, but also worse health status and higher rehospitalization. Nevertheless, results were better when PCI was guideline-conformant. This data should impact the Heart Team decision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with poor prognosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a biomarker for renal injury. However, the association between urinary NGAL concentrations and renal and cardiovascular events in patients with CKD undergoing PCI has not been elucidated. This study investigated the clinical impact of urinary NGAL concentrations on renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with non-dialysis CKD undergoing PCI. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 124 patients with non-dialysis CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) undergoing elective PCI. Patients were divided into low and high NGAL groups based on the median urinary NGAL concentration measured the day before PCI. Patients were monitored for renal and cardiovascular events during the 2-year follow-up period. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the incidence of renal and cardiovascular events was higher in the high than low NGAL group (log-rank P<0.001 and P=0.032, respectively). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses revealed that urinary NGAL was an independent risk factor for renal (hazard ratio [HR] 4.790; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.537-14.924; P=0.007) and cardiovascular (HR 2.938; 95% CI 1.034-8.347; P=0.043) events. CONCLUSIONS Urinary NGAL could be a novel and informative biomarker for predicting subsequent renal and cardiovascular events in patients with CKD undergoing elective PCI.

Abstract
The feasibility of rotational atherectomy (RA) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients who present with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains fully unsettled. We retrospectively evaluated 198 consecutive patients who underwent RA during PCI from 2009 to 2020. All patients underwent intracoronary imaging (intravascular ultrasound 96.5%, optical coherence tomography 9.1%, both 5.6%) during PCI. Patients who underwent RA during PCI were divided into two groups: ACS (n = 49; unstable angina pectoris, n = 27; non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, n = 18, and ST-elevation myocardial infarction, n = 4) and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) (n = 149). The RA procedural success rate was comparable between in the ACS and CCS groups (93.9 vs. 89.9%, P = 0.41). No significant differences were observed in procedural complications and in-hospital death between the groups. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) after 2 years was significantly higher in ACS group compared with CCS group (38.7 vs. 17.4%, log-rank P = 0.002). Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified SYNTAX score or CABG SYNTAX score > 22 (hazard ratio (HR) 2.66, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.40-5.06, P = 0.002) and mechanical circulatory support during the procedure (HR 2.61, 95% CI 1.21-5.59, P = 0.013) as predictors of MACE at 2 years, but not ACS on index admission (HR 1.58, 95% CI 0.84-2.99, P = 0.151). RA procedure is feasible as a bail-out strategy for ACS lesions. However, more complexed coronary atherosclerosis and mechanical circulatory support during RA procedure, but no ACS lesions were associated with worse mid-term clinical outcomes.

Percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-coated balloon-only strategy combined with single antiplatelet treatment in patients at high bleeding risk: Single center experience of a novel concept. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 101:569-578. [PMID: 36682076 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.30558] [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: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES At least 1 month of dual antiplatelet therapy is required after coronary stenting. The aim of this all-comers retrospective registry study was to assess the efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-coated balloon (DCB) with single antiplatelet treatment (SAPT). METHODS Between 2011 and 2020, 232 PCIs were performed in 172 patients using the DCB-only strategy and discharged with SAPT. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 75 ± 11 years and 59% were male. The clinical presentation was stable coronary artery disease (CAD) in 42% of the patients and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in 58%. The lesions were mainly de novo (96%). The majority (58%) of treated lesions were in large coronary arteries (≥3.0 mm). Most (87%) of the patients were at high bleeding risk (HBR) with at least one major or two minor Academic Research Consortium (ARC) risk factors for bleeding. Periprocedural DAPT was used in 49% of the patients. The 12-month major adverse cardiac events (MACE, the composition of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and target-lesion revascularization) rate was 1.4% in stable CAD and 7.1% in ACS. The 12-month all-cause mortality after DBC only + SAPT strategy was 4.1% in stable CAD and 12.1% in ACS. The rate of ischemia-driven target lesion revascularisation (TLR) was 0% in stable CAD and 3.0% in ACS at 12 months. The 12-month rate of significant bleeding (BARC type 2-5) was 10.5%. There were no acute or subacute vessel closures. CONCLUSIONS Despite the aged patient population with comorbidities, the TLR, MACE, and bleeding rates were low with DCB-only PCI combined with SAPT. This novel approach could reduce the post-PCI bleeding risk in patients with CAD and HBR compared to stenting.

Abstract
Aims We examined in-hospital outcomes of patients that required mechanical circulatory support (MCS), such as intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP), Impella®, or veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), for elective percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Methods and results The J-PCI is a prospective Japanese nationwide multicentre registry sponsored by the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) and designed to collect clinical variables and in-hospital outcome data on consecutive patients undergoing PCI. Of the 253 228 patients registered between January 2018 and December 2018, 1627 patients (0.6%) undergoing elective PCI under MCS at 551 sites were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 74 years, and 25.2% of the patients were females. Multivessel disease and left main disease were observed in 59.0% and 19.7% of the patients, respectively. Majority of patients were treated with IABP alone (86.2%), followed by IABP plus VA-ECMO (6.0%) and Impella alone (3.9%). In-hospital mortality was reported in 134 patients (8.2%). Cardiac death was more common than non-cardiac death (6.8% vs. 1.5%). About 34.6% of the patients receiving VA-ECMO died during hospitalization, whereas 7.2% and 5.3% of patients receiving Impella and IABP died, respectively (P < 0.01). The proportion of patients with VA-ECMO or Impella who had major bleeding requiring blood transfusion was higher than that of patients with IABP (14.1% vs. 13.0% vs. 2.8%). Conclusion In the setting of elective PCI, in-hospital mortality of patients requiring MCS was considerably high. VA-ECMO or Impella was associated with a higher risk of major bleeding than IABP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients at high-bleeding risk (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention represent a challenging patient population. The use of drug-coated balloon (DCB) allows shorter duration of dual antiplatelet therapy compared with drug-eluting stents (DES) and reduces thrombotic risk due to the absence of a permanent implant. The present analysis aimed to investigate if the effect of DCB versus DES differed between patients with and without HBR treated with percutaneous coronary intervention in small coronary arteries. METHODS This prespecified subgroup analysis of a multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial included 758 patients with de novo lesions in coronary vessels <3 mm and an indication for percutaneous coronary intervention, randomized to DCB (n=382) or second-generation DES (n=376). Patients were followed over 3 years for major adverse cardiac events. RESULTS Of the 758 patients randomized, 155 (20%) had HBR; these patients had higher mortality at 3 years (hazard ratio [95% CI], 3.09 [1.78-5.36]; P<0.001). Rates of major bleeding events were overall low but tended to be lower after DCB versus DES (1.6% versus 3.7%; P=0.064), were similar in patients with HBR (4.5% versus 3.4%) but less frequent in DCB-versus DES-treated patients without HBR (0.9% versus 3.8%). There was no difference in major adverse cardiac events between DCB and DES regardless of bleeding risk (HBR, hazard ratio: 1.16 [0.51-2.62]; P=0.719 versus non-HBR, 0.96 [0.62-1.49]; P=0.863). CONCLUSIONS DCBs were similarly safe and effective as current-generation DES in the treatment of coronary arteries <3 mm, regardless of bleeding risk. In patients treated with DCB, there was a trend towards a reduction of severe bleeding events at 3 years. REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov; Unique identifier: NCT01574534.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), comprising aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, is considered the cornerstone of treatment in patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with complex PCI (C-PCI) constitute a special PCI subpopulation, characterized by increased ischemic risk. Identifying the optimal DAPT strategy is often challenging and remains controversial in this setting. In an attempt to balance ischemic and bleeding risks in C-PCI patients receiving DAPT, treatment individualization regarding potency and duration has evolved as a feasible approach. Platelet function testing and genotyping have been evaluated in several trials with conflicting and mostly neutral results. The aim of this review is to critically appreciate the role of these tools for antiplatelet treatment tailoring specifically in C-PCI patients. Because existing evidence is limited, dedicated future studies are warranted to elucidate the utility of platelet function testing and genotyping in C-PCI.

Abstract
Background There are relatively limited data regarding real-world outcomes in very old patients with three-vessel disease (3VD) receiving different therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to perform analysis of long-term clinical outcomes of medical therapy (MT), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this population. Methods We included 711 patients aged ≥ 75 years from a prospective cohort of patients with 3VD. Consecutive enrollment of these patients began from April 2004 to February 2011 at Fu Wai Hospital. Patients were categorized into three groups (MT, n = 296; CABG, n = 129; PCI, n = 286) on the basis of different treatment strategies. Results During a median follow-up of 7.25 years, 262 deaths and 354 major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) occurred. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the risk of cardiac death was significantly lower for CABG compared with PCI (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.475, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.232–0.974, P = 0.042). Additionally, MACCE appeared to show a trend towards a better outcome for CABG (adjusted HR = 0.759, 95% CI 0.536–1.074, P = 0.119). Furthermore, CABG was significantly superior in terms of unplanned revascularization (adjusted HR = 0.279, 95% CI 0.079–0.982, P = 0.047) and myocardial infarction (adjusted HR = 0.196, 95% CI 0.043–0.892, P = 0.035). No significant difference in all-cause death between CABG and PCI was observed. MT had a higher risk of cardiac death than PCI (adjusted HR = 1.636, 95% CI 1.092–2.449, P = 0.017). Subgroup analysis showed that there was a significant interaction between treatment strategy (PCI vs. CABG) and sex for MACCE (P = 0.026), with a lower risk in men for CABG compared with that of PCI, but not in women. Conclusions CABG can be performed with reasonable results in very old patients with 3VD. Sex should be taken into consideration in therapeutic decision-making in this population.

Differential Long-Term Effects of First- and Second-Generation DES in Patients With Bifurcation Lesions Undergoing PCI. JACC. ASIA 2021; 1:68-79. [PMID: 36338362 PMCID: PMC9627880 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacasi.2021.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data regarding the long-term clinical outcomes of first- versus second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES), especially when used to treat complex lesions such as bifurcation lesions. OBJECTIVES The current study compares the efficacy and safety of first- versus second-generation DES at the 5-year follow-up in patients who underwent bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 5,498 patients with a bifurcation lesion who underwent PCI were pooled at a single patient level from COBIS (Coronary Bifurcation Stenting) registries II and III. Five-year target lesion failure (TLF) (the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction [MI], and target lesion revascularization [TLR]) and cardiac death or MI were compared between the use of first-generation DES (n = 2,436) and second-generation DES (n = 3,062) during PCI. Propensity score matching was performed to reduce selection bias. RESULTS After a 1:1 propensity score matching procedure was conducted, the cohort consisted of 1,702 matched pairs. Patients treated with second-generation DES had a significantly lower risk of TLF at 5 years than those treated with first-generation DES in both overall and propensity-matched populations (matched hazard ratio [HRmatched]: 0.576; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.456 to 0.727; p <0.001). There were no significant differences in risk of a composite of cardiac death or MI between the 2 groups (HRmatched: 0.782; 95% CI: 0.539 to 1.133, P = 0.193). However, among patients who required a 2-stent technique, use of the second-generation DES reduced cardiac death or MI (HRmatched:0.422; 95% CI: 0.209 to 0.851, P = 0.016). On the other hand, among patients who required a one-stent technique, the risk of a composite of cardiac death or MI was similar between the 2 groups (HRmatched: 1.046; 95% CI: 0.664 to 1.650, P = 0.845). There was a significant interaction between stent generation and treatment strategy for cardiac death or MI (interaction P = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS In patients treated with PCI for a bifurcation lesion, the use of second-generation DES was associated with a significantly reduced risk of 5-year TLF than the use of first-generation DES.

Abstract
Arterial access site complications are the important predictor of successful percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). We prospectively studied 722 consecutive PCI patients for access site complications. A total of 303 trans-femoral access (TFA) patients who had suture based vascular closure devices (VCD) were compared with 419 transradial access (TRA) patients. Incidence of hematoma was more in TFA (2.3% vs 0.23%, p 0.01). Median ambulation time (4 h vs 1 h, p < 0.01) was significantly higher in TFA. In conclusion, TRA had fewer access site complications like haematoma, compared to TFA with VCD. TRA also resulted in earlier ambulation and discharge, compared to TFA with VCD.

Abstract
High-risk "protected" percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, particularly the Impella axial pump, has emerged as a viable treatment option for high-risk patients with satisfactory clinical outcomes. High-risk and complex interventions have mostly remained within the domain of surgical centers. We report on an early "protected" PCI experience using MCS with the Impella flow pump at a high-volume PCI hospital without on-site surgery. A total of 5 patients underwent elective "protected" PCI utilizing MCS with Impella at our institution. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 28 ± 10% and all patients had triple vessel coronary artery disease with the majority having a high SYNTAX score. Device implantation and procedural success were achieved in all cases with no intraprocedural or access site complications. All patients were alive at 30 days and clinically well. The Impella unloads the ventricle, improves forward cardiac output and lowers myocardial oxygen demand, thereby improving mean arterial pressure and coronary perfusion. Device insertion is relatively quick and the "learning curve" is short, centering mainly around managing large bore access. Our limited experience suggests that not only is high-risk PCI with Impella support feasible in a non-surgical center, but that it may be crucial to enable success.

Abstract
Aim Coronary interventions are increasingly being performed via the radial rather than femoral route because of the lower complication rate. Compression devices such as the TR band are used to achieve hemostasis after the procedure. At present, there are no clear protocols for the deflation of the band. In this study we compared two protocols (early deflation with increased intervals vs. late deflation with smaller intervals) in terms of total time to band removal and complications, and patient and staff satisfaction. Methods All patients who underwent a transradial coronary procedure and had a TR band fitted were enrolled into the study. The TR band was applied using the patent hemostasis method (2 ml air pushed in after the radial pulse appears on pulse oximetry after full occlusion with 16 ml air). Patients were randomly assigned to either protocol. Protocol 1 involved removal of 2 ml of air starting 1 hour after the sheath removal and then removal of 2 ml every 30 minutes until the band came off. Protocol 2 involved removal of 4 ml of air 2 hours after the sheath removal and then further 4 ml of air every 15 minutes until the band came off. Patient and staff satisfaction was measured with a visual analogue scale. Results A total of 174 patients were recruited (mean age, 60 ± 11 years; 127 male, 47 female). The baseline characteristics including total heparin dose and type of procedure, in the two arms were the same. Protocol 2 (n = 84) was associated with a significantly lower time to TR band removal as compared to protocol 1 (n = 90; 201 ± 43 min vs. 274 ± 54 min; p < 0.001). There was no difference in complications such as bleeding or hematoma formation between the two groups. Patient satisfaction was the same between the two groups. However, the staff preferred protocol 1 (p = 0.01). Conclusion A protocol of delayed initiation of TR band deflation followed by quick deflations is associated with a lower time to band removal with no increase in bleeding complications or patient satisfaction. However, the staff preferred longer intervals between deflations.

Abstract
Patients with advanced age, complex coronary anatomy, and multiple comorbidities are often unsuitable for surgical revascularization. In this setting, hemodynamic support devices are used as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention to maintain hemodynamic stability and enable optimal revascularization. This article provides an overview of percutaneous hemodynamic support devices currently used in clinical practice for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. These include the intra-aortic balloon pump, centrifugal pumps (TandemHeart, venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), and micro-axial Impella pump. The hemodynamic effects, clinical evidence supporting improved outcomes and recovery of heart function, and associated complications with these devices are highlighted, with a special focus on Impella pumps.

Abstract
With rising complexity of percutaneous coronary interventions being performed, the incidence of cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) is likely to increase. The authors undertook a series of multidisciplinary simulation sessions to identify practice deficiencies and propose solutions to improve patient care. Five simulation sessions were held at Western Health CCL to simulate different cardiac arrest scenarios. Participants included cardiologists, intensivists, anesthetists, nurses, and technicians. Post-simulation feedback was analyzed qualitatively. Challenges encountered were grouped into 4 areas: (1) communication and teamwork, (2) equipment, (3) vascular access and drugs, and (4) physical environment and radiation exposure. Proposed solutions included regular simulation training; increasing familiarity with the physical environment, utilization of specialized equipment; and formation of 2 team leaders to improve efficiency. Cardiac arrest in the CCL is a unique clinical event that necessitates specific training to improve technical and nontechnical skills with potential to improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to explore if intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) use in real-world patients is associated with improved long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND The benefit of IVUS use with PCI in real world is uncertain. METHODS We identified Medicare patients who underwent PCI from 2009 to 2017 and evaluated the association of IVUS use with long-term risk of mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and repeat revascularization. We used propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting to adjust for baseline characteristics. To account for hospital effects, patients undergoing IVUS-guided PCI were matched to non-IVUS patients in the same hospital and year. Sensitivity analyses comparing outcomes with and without IVUS in stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome, PCI with bare-metal stents and drug-eluting stents, complex and noncomplex PCI, and facilities with 1% to 5%, 5% to 10%, and >10% IVUS use were performed. RESULTS Overall, IVUS was used in 5.6% of all PCI patients (105,787 out of 1,877,177 patients). Patients with IVUS-guided PCI had a higher prevalence of most comorbidities. In the propensity matched analysis, IVUS-guided PCI was associated with lower 1-year mortality (11.5% vs. 12.3%), MI (4.9% vs. 5.2%), and repeat revascularization (6.1% vs. 6.7%) (p < 0.001 for all). In inverse probability weighting analysis with a median follow-up of 3.7 years (interquartile range: 1.7 to 6.4 years), IVUS-guided PCI was associated with a lower risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 0.903; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.885 to 0.922), MI (aHR: 0.899; 95% CI: 0.893 to 0.904), and repeat revascularization (aHR: 0.893; 95% CI: 0.887 to 0.898) (p < 0.001 for all). These findings were consistent in all subgroups in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS In this contemporary U.S. Medicare cohort, the use of IVUS guidance in PCI remains low. Use of IVUS is associated with lower long-term mortality, MI, and repeat revascularization.

Abstract
Complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are increasing in frequency due to the rapid advances in interventional cardiology. This has had a favorable impact on patients with extensive coronary artery disease and multiple comorbidities with regard to symptomatic relief and mortality. With this increase, cardiologists must develop a standardized way to approach complex PCI in an era in which angiographic guidance alone yields suboptimal results. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been shown to improve outcomes with better preprocedural planning, improved stent placement, and larger stent diameters. Considering the supportive data, the use of IVUS is crucial in all cases of complex PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical utility of routine electrocardiographic monitoring following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is not well studied. METHODS We prospectively evaluated the incidence, cost, and the clinical implications of actionable arrhythmia alarms on telemetry monitoring following PCI. One thousand three hundred fifty-eight PCI procedures (989 [72.8%] for acute coronary syndrome and 369 [27.2%] for stable angina) on patients admitted to nonintensive care unit were identified and divided into 2 groups; group 1, patients with actionable alarms (AA) and group 2, patients with non-AA. AA included (1) ≥3 s electrical pause or asystole; (2) high-grade Mobitz type II atrioventricular block or complete heart block; (3) ventricular fibrillation; (4) ventricular tachycardia (>15 beats); (5) atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response; (6) supraventricular tachycardia (>15 beats). Primary outcomes were 30-day all-cause mortality. Cost-savings analysis was performed. RESULTS Incidence of AA was 2.2% (37/1672). Time from end of procedure to AA was 5.5 (0.5, 24.5) hours. Patients with AA were older, presented with acute congestive heart failure or non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, and had multivessel or left main disease. The 30-day all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with AA (6.5% versus 0.3% in non-AA [P<0.001]). Applying the standardized costing approach and tailored monitoring per the American Heart Association guidelines lead to potential cost savings of $622 480.95 for the entire population. CONCLUSIONS AA following PCI were infrequent but were associated with increase in 30-day mortality. Following American Heart Association guidelines for monitoring after PCI can lead to substantial cost saving.

Changes over time in serum albumin levels predict outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention. J Cardiol 2019; 75:381-386. [PMID: 31547947 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2019.08.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2019] [Revised: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum albumin (SA) is a powerful prognostic marker in patients with cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prognostic significance of changes in SA levels among patients that underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS Patients who underwent PCI in a tertiary medical center throughout 2004-2017 were considered for the study. Patients with missing SA values within the year before or 5 years after the PCI were excluded from the study as well as those for whom SA values were obtained throughout an acute infection. Changes in albumin were represented by Δalbumin: Albumin before PCI (closest) minus lowest albumin within the 5 years following the PCI. Δalbumin was categorized into 4 categories as follows: ≤0 g/dL, 0-0.5 g/dL, 0.5-1 g/dL, ≥1 g/dL. Primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) that included all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel re-vascularization, and coronary artery bypass surgery. RESULTS The study included 5449 out of 21,763 (25%) patients, mean age 66.8 ± 12 years, 26% women. Patients with greater Δalbumin were older with higher prevalence of most cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidity. The follow-up period was 7 years (median), with cumulative MACE rate of 49.5%. MACE rates and the rates of all the MACE components increased gradually with the increase in Δalbumin. Multivariate adjusted analysis showed that Δalbumin is an independent predictor of long-term MACE following PCI [HR = 1.4 (95%CI:1.3-1.6), HR = 2.2 (95%CI:1.9-2.5), HR = 3.8 (95%CI:3.3-4.35) for Δalbumin of 0-0.5 g/dL, 0.5-1 g/dL, ≥1 g/dL, respectivelyp < 0.001 for all]. CONCLUSIONS A decrease in albumin levels following PCI is an independent prognostic marker of worse long-term outcomes.

Ten-year trends in catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia vs other interventional procedures in Australia. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2019; 30:2353-2361. [PMID: 31502315 DOI: 10.1111/jce.14143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2019] [Revised: 08/05/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Major technological and procedural advancements have reinvigorated catheter ablation as adjunctive therapy for drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). We examined temporal trends in VT ablations as compared to other interventional cardiovascular procedures namely, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in Australia. METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective review of procedural numbers for VT ablations, AF ablations, and PCI was performed from 2008/09-2016/17 the Australian Institute of Health, Welfare and Aging (AIHW), and Medicare Australia (MA) databases. Linear regression models were fitted to compare the trends in population-adjusted procedural numbers over the 10-year period. Data from the AIHW and MA sources respectively showed that (a) PCI had a 1.3% (AIHW data P = .15) and 1.8% (MA data P < .001) population-adjusted increment per year, (b) AF ablations had a 12.7% (P < .001) and 11.7% (P < .001) per year population-adjusted increment, and (c) VT ablations showed an 18% (P < .001) and 12.7% (P < .001) per year population-adjusted increment. Growth of PCI was increasing at a lower rate than AF ablations (P < .001 for both AIHW and MA sources). Growth of VT ablation was significantly higher than AF ablations and PCI (AIHW: 18% vs 12.7% [P = .004] and 1.3% per year [P < .001]). CONCLUSION Catheter-based VT ablation has increased significantly in Australia over the last decade, consistent with worldwide trends, and now surpassing all ablation procedures, including AF ablation and PCI for CAD. This data highlight the provision of additional resources to match the increasing demand for VT ablation procedures in Australia.

Drug-coated balloon for treatment of de-novo coronary artery lesions in patients with high bleeding risk (DEBUT): a single-blind, randomised, non-inferiority trial. Lancet 2019; 394:230-239. [PMID: 31204115 DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(19)31126-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 115] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2019] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal technique of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients at high bleeding risk is not known. The hypothesis of the DEBUT trial was that percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-coated balloons is non-inferior to percutaneous coronary intervention with bare-metal stents for this population. METHODS The DEBUT trial is a randomised, single-blind non-inferiority trial done at five sites in Finland. Patients were eligible if they had an ischaemic de-novo lesion in a coronary artery or bypass graft that could be treated with drug-coated balloons, at least one risk factor for bleeding, and a reference vessel diameter of 2·5-4·0 mm. Those with myocardial infarction with ST-elevation, bifurcation lesions needing a two-stent technique, in-stent restenosis, and flow-limiting dissection or substantial recoil (>30%) of the target lesion after predilation were excluded. After successful predilation of the target lesion, patients were randomly assigned (1:1), by use of a computer-generated random sequence, to percutaneous coronary intervention with a balloon coated with paclitaxel and iopromide or a bare-metal stent. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events at 9 months. Non-inferiority was shown if the absolute risk difference was no more than 3%. All prespecified analyses were done in the intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01781546. FINDINGS Between May 22, 2013, and Jan 16, 2017, 220 patients were recruited for the study and 208 patients were assigned to percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-coated balloon (n=102) or bare metal stent (n=106). At 9 months, major adverse cardiac events had occurred in one patient (1%) in the drug-coated balloon group and in 15 patients (14%) in the bare-metal stent group (absolute risk difference -13·2 percentage points [95% CI -6·2 to -21·1], risk ratio 0·07 [95% CI 0·01 to 0·52]; p<0·00001 for non-inferiority and p=0·00034 for superiority). Two definitive stent thrombosis events occurred in the bare metal stent group but no acute vessel closures in the drug-coated balloon group. INTERPRETATIONS Percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-coated balloon was superior to bare-metal stents in patients at bleeding risk. The drug-coated balloon-only coronary intervention is a novel strategy to treat this difficult patient population. Comparison of this approach to the new generation drug-eluting stents is warranted in the future.

Twelve-month comparative analysis of clinical outcomes using biodegradable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stents versus durable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stents in all-comer patients. Indian Heart J 2019; 71:149-154. [PMID: 31280828 PMCID: PMC6624188 DOI: 10.1016/j.ihj.2019.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2018] [Revised: 02/05/2019] [Accepted: 04/26/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim The purpose of the present study was to examine whether clinical differences exist between the biodegradable polymer (BDP)–coated Tetrilimus everolimus-eluting stent (EES) and the durable polymer (DP)–coated Xience EES by comparing the major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rate at 12 months in all-comer patients. Methods This study was designed as a multicentre, observational, retrospective, investigator-initiated study between January 2016 and October 2016. Two hundred thirteen patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the BDP-EES were compared with 204 patients who underwent PCI with the DP-EES, irrespective of lesion complexity, comorbidities and acute presentation. The primary end point was MACE defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization. Results Baseline clinical and lesion characteristics of both the groups were similar, although the BDP-EES group had a significantly higher number of patients with diabetes mellitus (39.9% vs. 30.4%; p = 0.042) and type C lesion (67.4% vs. 48.1%; p < 0.001) than the DP-EES group. The 12-month MACE rate was 4.2% for the BDP-EES group versus 4.9% for the DP-EES group (p = 0.740). Mortality was lower in the BDP-EES group than in the DP-EES group (0.9% vs. 2.0%; p = 0.441). Conclusion The present comparative analysis shows that the BDP-coated Tetrilimus EES was as safe and effective as the DP-coated Xience EES during the 12-month follow-up period despite complex lesion characteristics.
