MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:590. [PMID: 38674237 PMCID: PMC11052456 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60040590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: In this present study, we investigated the impact of mechanosensitive microRNAs (mechano-miRs) on the collateral development in 126 chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients, selected from 810 undergoing angiography. Materials and Methods: We quantified the collateral blood supply using the collateral flow index (CFI) and assessed the transcoronary mechano-miR gradients. Results: The patients with favorable collaterals had higher CFI values (0.45 ± 0.02) than those with poor collaterals (0.38 ± 0.03, p < 0.001). Significant differences in transcoronary gradients were found for miR-10a, miR-19a, miR-21, miR-23b, miR-26a, miR-92a, miR-126, miR-130a, miR-663, and let7d (p < 0.05). miR-26a and miR-21 showed strong positive correlations with the CFI (r = 0.715 and r = 0.663, respectively), while let7d and miR-663 were negatively correlated (r = -0.684 and r = -0.604, respectively). The correlations between cytokine gradients and mechano-miR gradients were also significant, including Transforming Growth Factor Beta with miR-126 (r = 0.673, p < 0.001) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor with miR-10a (r = 0.602, p = 0.002). A regression analysis highlighted the hemoglobin level, smoking, beta-blocker use, miR-26a, and miR-663 as significant CFI determinants, indicating their roles in modulating the collateral vessel development. Conclusions: These findings suggest mechanosensitive microRNAs as predictive biomarkers for collateral circulation, offering new therapeutic perspectives for CTO patients.

Impact of preprocedural anemia on in-hospital and follow-up outcomes of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 102:857-863. [PMID: 37681964 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.30810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of preprocedural anemia on the outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. METHODS We examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of 8633 CTO PCIs performed at 39 US and non-US centers between 2012 and 2023. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin level of <13 g/dL in men and <12 g/dL in women. RESULTS Anemia was present in 1652 (19%) patients undergoing CTO PCI. Anemic patients had a higher incidence of comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease. CTOs in anemic patients were more likely to have complex angiographic characteristics, including smaller diameter, longer length, moderate to severe calcification, and moderate to severe proximal tortuosity. Anemic patients required longer procedure (119 vs. 107 min; p < 0.001) and fluoroscopy (45 vs. 40 min; p < 0.001) times but received similar contrast volumes. Technical success was similar between the two groups. In-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rates were higher in patients with anemia; however, this association was no longer significant after adjusting for confounding factors. Baseline anemia was independently associated with follow-up MACE (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-2.49; p = 0.023) and all-cause mortality (adjusted HR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.41-6.49; p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Preprocedural anemia is associated with more comorbidities, higher lesion complexity, longer procedure times, and higher follow-up MACE and mortality after CTO PCI.

Clinical Characteristics and Long-Term Outcomes of Patients With Differing Haemoglobin Levels Undergoing Semi-Urgent and Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in an Asian Population. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:687555. [PMID: 35369342 PMCID: PMC8971291 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.687555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the impact of anaemia on long-term clinical outcomes in patients who underwent semi-urgent and elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in an Asian population. Although the effects of anaemia on outcomes in Asian patients are well studied for acute coronary syndrome, its impact on Asian patients undergoing semi-urgent and elective PCI is unclear. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent semi-urgent and elective PCI from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2015, at a tertiary academic centre. A total of 1,685 patients were included. They were stratified into three groups: normal (≥12 g/dL), intermediate (10–11.9 g/dL), and low (<10 g/dL) haemoglobin levels. Demographics, risk factors, and end-points including the 5-point major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (all-cause death, subsequent stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure, and target lesion revascularisation), cardiovascular death, and bleeding events were analysed. Results Patients in intermediate and low haemoglobin level groups were older with more comorbidities. Compared to the normal haemoglobin level group, low haemoglobin level group patients were associated with an increased risk of composite endpoints of all-cause death, subsequent stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure, and target lesion revascularisation [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.89, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.22, 2.92; p = 0.004]. This was driven by the increased risk of target lesions revascularisation observed in the low haemoglobin level group compared to the normal haemoglobin level group (aHR 17.74, 95% CI: 1.74, 180.80; p = 0.015). The patients in the low haemoglobin level group were also associated with a higher risk of bleeding events compared to the normal haemoglobin level group (aHR 7.18, 95% CI: 1.13, 45.40; p = 0.036). Conclusion In our Asian cohort, patients with anaemia undergoing PCI were associated with a higher comorbid burden. Despite adjustments for comorbidities, these patients had higher mortality and worse cardiovascular outcomes following contemporary PCI.

Scoring System for Identification of "Survival Advantage" after Successful Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with Chronic Total Occlusion. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9051319. [PMID: 32370276 PMCID: PMC7291306 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9051319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is widely used in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO), but its benefit in improving long-term outcomes is controversial. We aimed to develop a prediction score for grading “survival advantage” conferred by successful results of CTO-PCI and a scoring system for prediction of the influence of CTO-PCI results on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Methods: Follow-up data of 2625 patients who underwent CTO-PCI at 65 Japanese centers were analyzed. An integer scoring system was developed by including statistical effect modifiers on the association between successful CTO-PCI and one-year mortality. Results: Follow-up at 12 months was completed in 2034 patients. During follow-up, 76 deaths (3.7%) occurred. Patients with successful CTO-PCI had a better one-year survival than patients with failed CTO-PCI (log rank P = 0.016). Effect modifiers for the association between successful procedure and one-year mortality included diabetes (P interaction = 0.043), multivessel disease (P interaction = 0.175), Canadian Cardiovascular Society class ≥2 (P interaction = 0.088), and prior myocardial infarction (MI) (P interaction = 0.117). Each component was assigned a single point and summed to develop the scoring system. The patients were then categorized to specify the prediction of survival advantage by successful PCI: ≤2 (normal) and ≥3 (distinct). The differences in one-year mortality between patients with successful and failed treatment were −0.7% and 11.3% for normal and distinct score categories, respectively. In the scoring system for MACCE, score components were prior MI (P interaction = 0.19), left anterior descending artery (LAD)-CTO (P interaction = 0.079), and reattempt of CTO-PCI (P interaction = 0.18). The differences in one-year MACCEs between successful and failed patients for each score category (0, 1, and ≥2) were −1.7%, 7.5%, and 15.1%, respectively. Conclusions: The novel scoring system assessing the advantage of successful PCI can be easily applied in patients with CTO. It is a valid instrument for clinical decision-making while assessing the survival advantage of CTO-PCI and the influence of procedural results on MACCEs.

Anemia as an independent predictor of adverse outcomes after carotid revascularization. J Vasc Surg 2020; 72:1711-1719.e2. [PMID: 32249047 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2020.01.065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia has been identified as a risk factor for postoperative morbidity and mortality after major vascular procedures. Carotid revascularization carries less cardiac morbidity and physiologic stress compared with other vascular interventions. This study evaluated the association between preoperative anemia and major adverse events after carotid revascularization. METHODS Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) between January 2012 and June 2018 in the Vascular Quality Initiative database were identified. Anemia was defined as a preoperative hemoglobin level of <12 g/dL in women and <13 g/dL in men. Multivariable logistic analysis and 1:1 coarsened exact matching were used to study the association between preoperative anemia and in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), defined as a composite of stroke, death, and myocardial infarction, and between anemia and 30-day mortality after CEA and CAS. RESULTS Of 102,719 patients included in the analysis, 34.8% were anemic (CEA, 34.1%; CAS, 37.8%; P < .001). Anemic patients were older and had more medical comorbidities compared with nonanemic patients. In-hospital MACEs (2.8% vs 1.9%; P < .001) and 30-day mortality (0.9% vs 0.4%; P < .001) were higher among anemic patients. On multivariable analysis, anemia was associated with 18% higher odds of in-hospital MACEs (odds ratio, 1.18; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.31, P = .001) and 74% higher odds of 30-day mortality (odds ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.40-2.17, P < .001). Coarsened exact matching showed similar results. The association between preoperative anemia and adverse outcomes was similar in both CAS and CEA and in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (P interaction > .05). CONCLUSIONS Anemia is associated with increased odds of adverse events after CEA and CAS. It should be factored into the preoperative risk assessment of patients undergoing carotid revascularization. Prospective studies are needed to study the effectiveness of correcting low preoperative hemoglobin levels in these patients and the association between anemia and long-term outcomes after CEA and CAS.

Am J Cardiol 2019; 124:1319-1326. [PMID: 31493827 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2019.07.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2019] [Revised: 07/25/2019] [Accepted: 07/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Adverse effects have been reported in patients with preprocedural anemia after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but data regarding the relation between elevated hemoglobin (Hb) level and post-PCI prognosis remain limited. This study assessed the impact of elevated Hb on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) at 12 months, a composite of all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke after PCI. We pooled patient-level data from four Korean multicenter drug-eluting stent registries from 2010 to 2016. In total, 5,107 patients were divided into 5 categories according to the baseline Hb level (<10, 10 to 12.9, 13 to 14.9, 15 to 16.9 and ≥17 g/dl). Patients with higher Hb levels were significantly younger, predominantly male, current smokers with higher body mass index, and more frequent dyslipidemia. Hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and cerebrovascular accident were more prevalent in lower Hb groups. Categorically, a U-shaped curvilinear relation was observed between baseline Hb and clinical outcomes showing significantly higher MACCE rate in <10g/dl (hazard ratio [HR], 4.62 [2.81 to 7.68]) and ≥17 g/dl (HR, 4.06 [1.57 to 10.5]) groups compared with the reference group (13 to 14.9 g/dl), especially in men. In nonanemic patients (Hb ≥13 g/dl), adjusted HRs of MACCE, mortality, and stroke were significantly higher in ≥17 g/dl group than in the reference group. Furthermore, ≥17 g/dl was an independent predictor for MACCE and all-cause mortality after PCI. In conclusion, not only low Hb but also elevated Hb of ≥17 g/dl was significantly associated with higher MACCE rates and all-cause mortality after PCI. An appropriate treatment strategy for patients with high Hb level should be identified through future studies.
