[PMID: 38929910 PMCID: PMC11204241 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13123381] [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: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug-eluting stent (DES) for chronic total coronary occlusions (CTOs) improves clinical symptoms and quality of life. However, data on drug-coated balloon (DCB)-based PCI in CTO lesions are limited. Methods: A total of 200 patients were successfully treated for CTO lesions, either with DCB alone or in combination with DES (DCB-based PCI). They were compared with 661 patients who underwent second-generation DES implantation for CTO from the PTRG-DES registry (DES-only PCI). The endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), which included a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent or target lesion thrombosis, target vessel revascularization, and major bleeding at 2 years. Results: In the DCB-based PCI group, 49.0% of patients were treated with DCB only and 51.0% underwent the hybrid approach combining DCB with DES. Bailout stenting was performed in seven patients (3.5%). The DCB-based PCI group exhibited fewer stents (1.0; IQR: 0.0-1.0 and 2.0; IQR: 1.0-3.0, p < 0.001), shorter stent lengths (6.5 mm; IQR: 0.0-38.0 mm and 42.0 mm; IQR: 28.0-67.0 mm, p < 0.001), and lower usage of small stents with a diameter of 2.5 mm or less (9.8% and 36.5%, p < 0.001). Moreover, the DCB-based PCI group had a lower rate of MACEs than the DES-only PCI group (3.1% and 13.2%, p = 0.001) at 2-year follow-up. Conclusions: The DCB-based PCI approach significantly reduced the stent burden, particularly in the usage of small stent diameters, and resulted in a lower risk of MACEs compared to DES-only PCI in CTO lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND De novo diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD) is a challenging scenario in interventional cardiology with limited treatment option, beside stent implantation. In this context, a hybrid approach, combining the use of drug-eluting stent (DES) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) to treat different segments of the same lesion (e.g. long lesion and/or true bifurcation), might be an interesting and alternative strategy to limit the metal amount. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a hybrid approach in addressing percutaneous treatment of de novo diffuse CAD. METHODS This was a prospective, multicenter study including patients affected by de novo diffuse CAD treated with a hybrid approach from April 2019 to December 2020. Angiographic and clinical data were collected. The primary endpoint was the one-year device-oriented composite endpoint (DOCE, cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization [ID-TLR]). Periprocedural myocardial infarctions and periprocedural success were included among secondary endpoints. RESULTS One hundred six patients were included, mean age was 68.2±10.2 years and 78.3% were male. De novo diffuse CAD consisted of 52.8% long lesions and 47.2% true bifurcation lesions. Significant increase in the final minimal lumen diameters and significant decrease in the final diameter stenosis were observed when compared to the baseline values in both DES- and DCB-target segments. Procedural success was 96.2%. DOCE at one-year was 3.7%, with all the adverse events characterized by ID-TLR. CONCLUSIONS Combination of DES and DCB could be a safe and effective treatment option for the treatment of de novo diffuse CAD (NCT03939468).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent thrombosis is a rare but deleterious event. Routine coronary angiography with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often deferred in the presence of laboratory markers of acute inflammation to prevent complications. The aim of this study was to investigate whether an acute inflammatory state is associated with an increased risk of early stent thrombosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Within a prospective single-center registry, the association between preprocedural acute inflammatory activation, defined as C-reactive protein plasma levels >50 mg/L or a leukocyte count >12 g/L, and occurrence of early (≤30 days) stent thrombosis was evaluated. In total, 11 327 patients underwent PCI and of those, 6880 patients had laboratory results available. 49.6% of the study population received PCI for an acute coronary syndrome and 50.4% for stable ischemic heart disease. In patients with signs of acute inflammatory activation (24.9%), PCI was associated with a significantly increased risk for stent thrombosis (hazard ratio, 2.89; P<0.00001), independent of age, sex, kidney function, number and type of stents, presence of multivessel disease, choice of P2Y12 inhibitor, and clinical presentation. Elevated laboratory markers of acute inflammation were associated with the occurrence of stent thrombosis in both patients with acute coronary syndrome (hazard ratio, 2.63; P<0.001) and in patients with stable ischemic heart disease (hazard ratio, 3.57; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS An acute inflammatory state at the time of PCI was associated with a significantly increased risk of early stent thrombosis. Evidence of acute inflammation should result in deferred PCI in elective patients, while future studies are needed for patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
Stent thrombosis (ST) is a fatal complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The association between P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) level and stent thrombosis occurrence remains unclear. Based on the multicenter, observational PTRG-DES (Platelet function and genoType-Related long-term proGnosis in DES-treated patients) registry of patients with drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation, a total of 11,714 patients with PRU values were analyzed. We sought to identify the predictors of early stent thrombosis (EST) and compared the primary outcome, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and revascularization, between EST and non-EST groups. EST, defined as definite ST within 1 month after index PCI, occurred in 51 patients. PRU values were significantly higher in the EST group (263.5 ± 70.8 vs. 217.5 ± 78.7, p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, PRU ≥ 252 (OR, 5.10; 95% CI 1.58-16.46; p = 0.006) and aspirin reaction unit ≥ 414 (OR 4.85; 95% CI 1.07-21.97; p = 0.040) were independent predictors of EST. The cumulative incidence of primary composite outcome at one year was significantly higher in the EST group (38.2% vs. 3.9%, Log-rank p < 0.001). In patients treated with clopidogrel after successful DES implantation, EST was associated with higher platelet reactivities, and a greater risk of cardiovascular events.Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT04734028.

Abstract
Stent under-expansion is a predictor of restenosis and stent thrombosis. It remains uncertain whether enhanced stent imaging (ESI) (CLEARstent) guidance can improve stent under-expansion. Our aim was to assess the effect of using ESI on stent under-expansion, after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a single center, cross-sectional observational study. Participants attending our cardiology clinic with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome, from March to September 2020 were recruited. A total of 164 patients who underwent post-PCI ESI (CLEARstent) were compared with 77 age- and sex-matched control patients. Post-procedural minimal lumen diameter (MLD) was calculated. The patients in the ESI-guided PCI group, had a median age of 61 (54-69 IQR 25-75) years and 76.8% (n = 126) were males. The patients in ESI-guided PCI group had a greater minimal lumen diameter compared with the X-ray guided PCI group (βeta coefficient:2.88 (95% CI:2.58-2.99) vs βeta coefficient 2.55 (95% CI 2.34-2.63), P < .001). Our finding supports the use of the ESI system to optimize stent placement as expressed by the MLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hybrid strategy of a combination of drug-eluting stent (DES) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) is promising for the treatment of de novo diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD). HYPOTHESIS To investigate the efficacy and functional results of hybrid strategy. METHODS This case series study included patients treated with a hybrid approach for de novo diffuse CAD between February 2017 and November 2021. Postprocedural quantitative flow ratio (QFR) was used to evaluate the functional results. The primary endpoint was procedural success rate. The secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) (including peri-procedural MI), and target vessel revascularization. RESULTS A total of 109 patients with 114 lesions were treated. DES and DCB were commonly used in larger proximal segments and smaller distal segments, respectively. The mean QFR value was 0.9 ± 0.1 and 105 patients (96.3%) had values >0.8 in all the treated vessels. Procedural success was achieved in 106 (97.2%) patients. No cases of cardiac death were reported at a median follow-up of 19 months. Spontaneous MI occurred in three (2.8%) patients and target vessel revascularization in six (5.5%) patients. Estimated 2-year rate of MACE excluding peri-procedural MI was higher in the group with lower QFR value (12.1 ± 5.7% vs. 5.6 ± 4.4%, log-rank p = .035) (cut-off value 0.9). CONCLUSION Hybrid strategy is a promising approach for the treatment of de novo diffuse CAD. Postprocedural QFR has some implications for prognosis and may be helpful in guiding this approach.

Abstract
Conventional dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention comprises aspirin with a potent P2Y purinoceptor 12 (P2Y12) inhibitor (prasugrel or ticagrelor) for 12 months. Although this approach reduces ischaemic risk, patients are exposed to a substantial risk of bleeding. Strategies to reduce bleeding include de-escalation of DAPT intensity (downgrading from potent P2Y12 inhibitor at conventional doses to either clopidogrel or reduced-dose prasugrel) or abbreviation of DAPT duration. Either strategy requires assessment of the ischaemic and bleeding risks of each individual. De-escalation of DAPT intensity can reduce bleeding without increasing ischaemic events and can be guided by platelet function testing or genotyping. Abbreviation of DAPT duration after 1-6 months, followed by monotherapy with aspirin or a P2Y12 inhibitor, reduces bleeding without an increase in ischaemic events in patients at high bleeding risk, particularly those without high ischaemic risk. However, these two strategies have not yet been compared in a head-to-head clinical trial. In this Consensus Statement, we summarize the evidence base for these treatment approaches, provide guidance on the assessment of ischaemic and bleeding risks, and provide consensus statements from an international panel of experts to help clinicians to optimize these DAPT approaches for individual patients to improve outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genoss drug-eluting stent (DES) (Genoss Company Limited) is a new ultrathin sirolimus-eluting stent with an abluminal biodegradable polymer and a cobalt-chromium platform. AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate vascular healing and neointimal coverage after implantation of the Genoss DES using optical coherence tomography (OCT) 6 months postimplantation. METHODS From August 22, 2019 to June 17, 2020, this multicenter, observational, investigator-initiated study enrolled 20 patients who underwent OCT examination 6 months after Genoss DES implantation and provided informed consent. An analyst, blinded to the patients' and procedural information analyzed OCT images at an independent core laboratory. RESULTS Of the 20 patients, 19 with 27 stents in 21 lesions from 21 vessels were included in the analysis, while one patient withdrew consent and was unwilling to undergo follow-up OCT. OCT analysis was performed 204.4 ± 31.9 days after Genoss DES implantation. A total of 4285 stent struts from 661 cross-sections were analyzed. Strut tissue coverage was observed in 98.7 ± 4.3% of struts, with 0.1 ± 1.2% malapposed struts per lesion. The mean thickness of neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) on the covered struts was 0.12 ± 0.04 mm. CONCLUSIONS Six months after stent implantation, most Genoss DES struts were covered with a thin layer of NIH that was evenly distributed along the stent length. This pilot study evaluated the outcomes of 6 months dual antiplatelet therapy in the context of ultrathin strut stents, providing insight into developing ethical standards and a scientific foundation for conducting an adequately designed clinical trial.

Abstract
The SCUBE [Signal peptide-Complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1 (CUB)-Epithelial growth factor domain-containing protein] family consists of three proteins in vertebrates, SCUBE1, 2 and 3, which are highly conserved in zebrafish, mice and humans. Each SCUBE gene encodes a polypeptide of approximately 1000 amino acids that is organized into five modular domains: (1) an N-terminal signal peptide sequence, (2) nine tandem epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, (3) a large spacer region, (4) three cysteine-rich (CR) motifs, and (5) a CUB domain at the C-terminus. Murine Scube genes are expressed individually or in combination during the development of various tissues, including those in the central nervous system and the axial skeleton. The cDNAs of human SCUBE orthologs were originally cloned from vascular endothelial cells, but SCUBE expression has also been found in platelets, mammary ductal epithelium and osteoblasts. Both soluble and membrane-associated SCUBEs have been shown to play important roles in physiology and pathology. For instance, upregulation of SCUBEs has been reported in acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer and lung cancer. In addition, soluble SCUBE1 is released from activated platelets and can be used as a clinical biomarker for acute coronary syndrome and ischemic stroke. Soluble SCUBE2 enhances distal signaling by facilitating the secretion of dual-lipidated hedgehog from nearby ligand-producing cells in a paracrine manner. Interestingly, the spacer regions and CR motifs can increase or enable SCUBE binding to cell surfaces via electrostatic or glycan-lectin interactions. As such, membrane-associated SCUBEs can function as coreceptors that enhance the signaling activity of various serine/threonine kinase or tyrosine kinase receptors. For example, membrane-associated SCUBE3 functions as a coreceptor that promotes signaling in bone morphogenesis. In humans, SCUBE3 mutations are linked to abnormalities in growth and differentiation of both bones and teeth. In addition to studies on human SCUBE function, experimental results from genetically modified mouse models have yielded important insights in the field of systems biology. In this review, we highlight novel molecular discoveries and critical directions for future research on SCUBE proteins in the context of cancer, skeletal disease and cardiovascular disease.

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 Poor myocardial reperfusion due to distal embolization and microvascular obstruction after percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Prior trials have not shown a clear benefit of routine manual aspiration thrombectomy. Sustained mechanical aspiration may mitigate this risk and improve outcomes. The objective of this study is to evaluate sustained mechanical aspiration thrombectomy before percutaneous coronary intervention in high thrombus burden acute coronary syndrome patients. METHODS This prospective study evaluated the Indigo CAT RX Aspiration System (Penumbra Inc, Alameda CA) for sustained mechanical aspiration thrombectomy before percutaneous coronary intervention at 25 hospitals across the USA. Adults presenting within 12 hours of symptom onset with high thrombus burden and target lesion(s) located in a native coronary artery were eligible. The primary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, or new or worsening New York Heart Association class IV heart failure within 30 days. Secondary end points included Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction thrombus grade, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow, myocardial blush grade, stroke, and device-related serious adverse events. RESULTS From August 2019 through December 2020, a total of 400 patients were enrolled (mean age 60.4 years, 76.25% male). The primary composite end point rate was 3.60% (14/389 [95% CI, 2.0-6.0%]). Rate of stroke within 30 days was 0.77%. Final rates of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction thrombus grade 0, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow 3, and myocardial blush grade 3 were 99.50%, 97.50%, and 99.75%, respectively. No device-related serious adverse events occurred. CONCLUSIONS Sustained mechanical aspiration before percutaneous coronary intervention in high thrombus burden acute coronary syndrome patients was safe and was associated with high rates of thrombus removal, flow restoration, and normal myocardial perfusion on final angiography.

Abstract
Technological progress, such as the launching of a new generation of drug-coated stents as well as new antiplatelet drugs, has resulted in the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) becoming much more effective. The aim of this study was to assess in-hospital mortality and to conduct an assessment of risk factors relevant to the in-hospital death of patients with MI. This study was based on an observational hospital registry of patients with MI (ACS GRU registry). For the purpose of the statistical analysis of the risk factors of death, a univariate logistic regression model was applied. In-hospital general mortality amounted to 7.27%. A higher death risk was confirmed in the following cases: (1) serious adverse events (SAEs) that occurred during the procedure; (2) patients transferred from another department of a hospital (OR = 2.647, p = 0.0056); (3) primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty performed on weekdays between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. (OR = 2.540, p = 0.0146). The influence of workload and operator experience on the risk of death in a patient with MI has not been confirmed. The results of this study indicate the increasing importance of new risk factors for in-hospital death in patients with MI, such as selected logistical aspects of the MI treatment process and individual SAEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in the context of multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) are limited. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of DCB-based treatment on percutaneous coronary intervention for multivessel CAD. METHODS A total of 254 patients with multivessel disease successfully treated with DCBs or in combination with drug-eluting stents (DES) were retrospectively enrolled (DCB-based group) and compared with 254 propensity-matched patients treated with second-generation DES from the PTRG-DES (Platelet Function and Genotype-Related Long-Term Prognosis in Drug-Eluting Stent-Treated Patients With Coronary Artery Disease) registry (n = 13,160) (DES-only group). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) comprised cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis, target vessel revascularization, and major bleeding at 2 years. RESULTS Baseline clinical characteristics were comparable between the groups. In the DCB-based group, 34.3% of patients were treated with DCBs only and 65.7% were treated with the DES hybrid approach. The number of stents and total stent length were significantly reduced by 65.4% and 63.7%, respectively, in the DCB-based group compared with the DES-only group. Moreover, the DCB-based group had a lower rate of MACE than the DES-only group (3.9% and 11.0%; P = 0.002) at 2-year follow-up. The DES-only group had a higher risk for cardiac death and major bleeding. CONCLUSIONS The DCB-based treatment approach showed a significantly reduced stent burden for multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention and led to a lower rate of MACE than the DES-only treatment. This study shows that DCB-based treatment approach safely reduces stent burden in multivessel CAD, and improved long-term outcomes may be expected by reducing stent-related events.

Abstract
Background Acute and subacute stent thromboses are a rare complication associated with high mortality and morbidity occurring in ∼1.5% of patients treated with primary percutaneous intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Recent publications describe a potential role of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) in thrombus formation at sites of critical coronary stenosis in STEMI. Case summary We describe a 58-year-old woman with STEMI at initial presentation, who suffered subacute stent thrombosis despite good stent expansion, efficacious dual antiplatelet therapy, and therapeutic anticoagulation. Because of very high VWF values, we administered N-acetylcysteine in order to depolymerize VWF, but the drug was not well tolerated. Since the patient was still symptomatic, we used caplacizumab in order to prevent VWF from interacting with platelets. Under this treatment, the clinical and angiographic course was favourable. Discussion Considering a modern view of intracoronary thrombus pathophysiology, we describe an innovative treatment approach, which eventually ended in a favourable outcome.

Real-world evidence of switching P2Y12 receptor-inhibiting therapies to prasugrel after PCI in patients with ACS: results from EFF-K registry. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:6. [PMID: 36624388 PMCID: PMC9827633 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-03034-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Potent P2Y12 inhibitors are recommended for up to 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the prescription pattern is diverse in real world practice, which includes various switching between antiplatelet regimens. In this study, we analyzed the prescription patterns of prasugrel, and assessed the safety and effectiveness of P2Y12 inhibitors switching patterns in a real world registry of patients subjected to PCI after ACS. METHODS The EFF-K study included 3077 ACS patients receiving prasugrel-based dual antiplatelet therapy. The cohort was divided into those who were administered with prasugrel as the primary antiplatelet treatment (naïve cohort) or as a substitute agent after clopidogrel or ticagrelor pre-treatment (switch cohort). The primary endpoint was a net adverse clinical event (NACE; a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or TIMI major bleeding unrelated to coronary-artery bypass grafting). RESULTS A total of 3077 patients diagnosed with ACS were included in the analysis. Among the total population, 726 patients (23.6%) were classed as the naïve cohort and 2351 patients (76.4%) as the switch cohort. Baseline characteristics showed that the switch cohort had more comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure and previous PCI. The major cause of switching to prasugrel in the switch cohort was the necessity for a more potent antiplatelet agent (56.3%). During a 12-month follow-up period, 51 patients (1.7%) experienced at least one NACE. The incidence of NACE did not differ between the naïve and switch cohort (1.5% vs. 1.7%, Hazard ratio 1.17, 95% Confidence interval 0.56-2.43, P = 0.677). In subgroup analysis, no significant interaction was observed between the treatment strategy and the incidence of NACE across various subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Dual antiplatelet therapy with prasugrel seems to be safe and effective both as a primary treatment and as a substitute for other P2Y12 inhibitors in a real world registry of Asian ACS patients receiving PCI.

Ten-year patterns of stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention with new- versus early-generation drug-eluting stents: insights from the DECADE cooperation. REVISTA ESPANOLA DE CARDIOLOGIA (ENGLISH ED.) 2022; 75:894-902.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The DECADE cooperation is a pooled analysis of individual patient data from drug-eluting stent (DES) trials with a 10-year follow-up. This analysis reports the risk of definite stent thrombosis (ST) through to 10 years after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients treated with early- and new-generation DES. METHODS Individual patient data from 5 DES trials with a 10-year follow-up were pooled. The primary endpoint was definite ST up to 10 years after PCI. Patients were divided into 2 groups as per the generation of DES implanted (early and new DES). Individual participant data were analyzed using a 1-stage approach. RESULTS We included 9700 patients, 6866 in the new DES group and 2834 in the early DES group. Through to 10 years, definite ST occurred in 69 of 6866 patients treated with new DES and in 91 of 2834 patients treated with early DES (1.0% vs 3.5%, adjusted hazard ratio, 0.32; 95%CI, 0.23-0.45). The rate of definite ST was lower in the new DES group than in the early DES group from 1 to 5 years (rate ratio, 0.14; 95%CI, 0.08-0.26) and from 5 to 10 years (rate ratio, 0.23; 95%CI, 0.08-0.61) after PCI. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of definite ST through to 10 years after PCI with new-generation DES was 1%. New-generation DES are associated with a lower 10-year incidence of definite ST than early-generation DES, particularly beyond 1 year after PCI.

Abstract
Stent thrombosis remains one of the main causes that lead to vascular stent failure in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Type 2 diabetes mellitus is accompanied by endothelial dysfunction and platelet hyperactivity and is associated with suboptimal outcomes following PCI, and an increase in the incidence of late stent thrombosis. Evidence suggests that late stent thrombosis is caused by the delayed and impaired endothelialization of the lumen of the stent. The endothelium has a key role in modulating inflammation and thrombosis and maintaining homeostasis, thus restoring a functional endothelial cell layer is an important target for the prevention of stent thrombosis. Modifications using specific molecules to induce endothelial cell adhesion, proliferation and function can improve stents endothelialization and prevent thrombosis. Blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) represent a potential cell source for the in situ-endothelialization of vascular conduits and stents. We aim in this review to summarize the main biofunctionalization strategies to induce the in-situ endothelialization of coronary artery stents using circulating endothelial stem cells.

Abstract
Acute stent thrombosis (AST) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) in predicting AST and high SYNTAX score in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The criteria of the Academic Research Consortium were used to determine definite stent thrombosis. A total of 2077 consecutive patients with ACS undergoing PCI were retrospectively enrolled. Platelet, white blood cell and neutrophil counts, as well as SII, CRP, CAR, and peak cardiac troponin I (cTnI) values were significantly higher, whereas the lymphocyte count and albumin values were significantly lower in the AST (+) group compared with the AST (-) group (P < .05). SYNTAX score showed significant positive correlations with SII (r = .429, P < .001) and CRP (r = .402, P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SII and CAR, as well as age, diabetes mellitus, stent length, and peak cTnI are independent predictors of AST and high SYNTAX score. In conclusion, the SII and CAR are simple, relatively cheap, and reliable inflammatory biomarkers that can predict AST and high SYNTAX scores in ACS.

Abstract
Stent thrombosis (ST) is a frequently reported complication in cardiac patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) that adversely impacts their prognostic outcomes. Medical literature reveals several baseline characteristics of PCI patients that may predict their predisposition to ST and its potential complications. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the diagnostic significance of these baseline parameters in terms of determining the risk of ST among adult patients with PCI. We statistically evaluated 18 baseline characteristics of more than 15,500 PCI patients to delineate their stent thrombosis attribution. We included a number of articles focusing on baseline parameters in-stent thrombosis-related PCI scenarios. We explored the articles of interest based on inclusion/exclusion parameters across PubMed, JSTOR, Cochrane library, Google Scholar, and Embase. Medical subject headings (MeSH) words included “stent thrombosis,” “percutaneous coronary intervention,” and “coronary stenting.” We extracted the research articles published between 2005 and 2021 on April 20, 2021. The included studies also focused on procedures and clinical factors concerning their association with PCI-related ST. Our findings ruled out the progression of abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)-related stent thrombosis in PCI patients (odds ratio {OR}: 9.68, 95% CI: 1.88-49.90, p=0.007). We found an insignificant clinical correlation between stent thrombosis and PCI in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Our study outcomes further revealed the absence of stent thrombosis in PCI patients with antiplatelet prescription (OR: 32.42, 95% CI: 21.28-49.39). The findings affirmed the absence of ST in PCI patients receiving aspirin therapy (OR: 32.77, 95% CI: 18.73-57.34; OR: 4.59, 95% CI: 1.97-10.73). The majority of the included studies negated the clinical correlation of stent thrombosis with diabetes mellitus in the setting of PCI (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.06-3.78). Our study did not reveal statistically significant results based on stent thrombosis in PCI patients with drug-eluting stents (OR: 2.91, 95% CI: 0.35-24.49). The findings also did not reveal the impact of cardiac biomarker elevation on stent thrombosis in PCI patients (OR: 8.42, 95% CI: 2.54-27.98, p=0.0005). Eight studies revealed a statistically insignificant correlation between myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis in PCI scenarios (OR: 2.69, 95% CI: 0.89-8.11, p=0.08). The clinical correlation between PCI and stent thrombosis/major bleeding in the setting of hypertension also proved statistically insignificant at 0.67 (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 0.38-4.51, p=0.97). The study findings did not correlate mean body mass index and multivessel coronary artery disease with ST in PCI scenarios (OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 0.02-239.58, p=0.78; OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 0.58-2.04, p=0.80). Only two studies revealed statistically significant results confirming stent thrombosis in PCI patients with a prior history of PCI (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.23-1.06; OR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.02-5.59; p=0.03). Our findings question the clinical significance of baseline characteristics in terms of predicting stent thrombosis in PCI patients. The results support the requirement of future studies to investigate complex interactions between procedural, medicinal, genetic, and patient-related factors contributing to the development of stent thrombosis in PCI patients.

Abstract
This narrative review examines the impact of cigarette smoking and the use of other tobacco and nicotine products on cardiovascular disease. Smoking increases the incidence of both acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases, and the harmful effects are substantially and relatively quickly reversible after quitting. Recommended cessation treatment includes offering pharmacotherapy, counseling which should emphasize the rapid risk reduction that occurs after quitting and adequate follow-up contacts. Although most research on cardiovascular disease in relation to tobacco use has focused upon cigarette smoking, we also review available data related to other combustible tobacco products, smokeless tobacco, electronic nicotine delivery systems and second-hand smoke. We discuss the implications of smoking on clinical management of patients with heart disease and newer developments with potential relevance to treatment of such patients.

Abstract
As growth of the elderly population continues to increase alongside improvements in percutaneous and minimally invasive interventions, cardiac surgeons question the role of high-risk surgery in treating these patients. TAVR has transformed the management of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis in elderly patients and has become standard therapy for patients greater than 80 years of age. With improvements in procedural risks and technical complications for both transcatheter valves and percutaneous interventions, should we rethink the operative strategies for octogenarians and nonagenarians, particularly as they apply to concurrent high-risk operations?

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0261149. [PMID: 34890421 PMCID: PMC8664218 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0261149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug resistance remains from among the most feared public health threats that commonly challenges tuberculosis treatment success. Since 2010, there have been rapid evolution and advances to second-line anti-tuberculosis treatments (SLD). However, evidence on impacts of these advances on incidence of mortality are scarce and conflicting. Estimating the number of people died from any cause during the follow-up period of SLD as the incidence proportion of all-cause mortality is the most informative way of appraising the drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment outcome. We thus aimed to estimate the pooled incidence of mortality and its predictors among persons receiving the SLD in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS We systematically identified relevant studies published between January, 2010 and March, 2020, by searching PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Cochrane library, Google scholar, and Health Technology Assessment. Eligible English-language publications reported on death and/or its predictors among persons receiving SLD, but those publications that reported death among persons treated for extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis were excluded. Study features, patients' clinical characteristics, and incidence and/or predictors of mortality were extracted and pooled for effect sizes employing a random-effects model. The pooled incidence of mortality was estimated as percentage rate while risks of the individual predictors were appraised based on their independent associations with the mortality outcome. RESULTS A total of 43 studies were reviewed that revealed 31,525 patients and 4,976 deaths. The pooled incidence of mortality was 17% (95% CI: 15%-18%; I2 = 91.40; P = 0.00). The studies used varied models in identifying predictors of mortality. They found diagnoses of clinical conditions (RR: 2.36; 95% CI: 1.82-3.05); excessive substance use (RR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.78-3.67); HIV and other comorbidities (RR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.65-2.32); resistance to SLD (RR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.37-2.23); and male sex (RR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.35-2.44) as consistent predictors of the mortality. Few individual studies also reported an increased incidence of mortality among persons initiated with the SLD after a month delay (RR: 1.59; 95% CI: 0.98-2.60) and those persons with history of tuberculosis (RR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.12-1.32). CONCLUSIONS We found about one in six persons who received SLD in sub-Saharan Africa had died in the last decade. This incidence of mortality among the drug-resistant tuberculosis patients in the sub-Saharan Africa mirrors the global average. Nevertheless, it was considerably high among the patients who had comorbidities; who were diagnosed with other clinical conditions; who had resistance to SLD; who were males and substance users. Therefore, modified measures involving shorter SLD regimens fortified with newer or repurposed drugs, differentiated care approaches, and support of substance use rehabilitation programs can help improve the treatment outcome of persons with the drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Abstract
Thoracentesis is a common bedside procedure, which has a low risk of complications when performed with thoracic ultrasound and by experienced operators. In critically ill or mechanically ventilated patients, or in patients with bleeding risks due to medications or other coagulopathies, the complication rate remains low. Drainage of pleural effusion in the intensive care unit has diagnostic and therapeutic utility, and perceived bleeding risks should be one part of an individualized and comprehensive risk-benefit analysis.

Abstract
Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) are frequently found in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Despite their high prevalence and indication for revascularization in a relevant proportion of cases, CTO recanalization is attempted only in a minority of cases. This is due to higher risk of procedural complications compared to non-CTO interventions and because the CTO-PCIs are the most complex procedures in interventional cardiology. In particular, the perceived higher risk of complications during CTO intervention might discourage new operators from engaging in this challenging field. The aim of this work is to review the potential complications of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention, and to provide an algorithmic, sign- and symptom-based approach to facilitate early recognition and effective management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Postprocedural dual-antiplatelet therapy is frequently withheld after emergent carotid stent placement during stroke thrombectomy. We aimed to assess whether antiplatelet regimen variations increase the risk of stent thrombosis beyond postprocedural day 1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review was undertaken of all consecutive thrombectomies for acute stroke with tandem lesions in the anterior circulation performed in a single comprehensive stroke center between January 9, 2011 and March 30, 2020. Patients were included if carotid stent patency was confirmed at day 1 postprocedure. The group of patients with continuous dual-antiplatelet therapy from day 1 was compared with the group of patients with absent/discontinued dual-antiplatelet therapy. RESULTS Of a total of 109 tandem lesion thrombectomies, 96 patients had patent carotid stents at the end of the procedure. The early postprocedural stent thrombosis rate during the first 24 hours was 14/96 (14.5%). Of 82 patients with patent stents at day 1, in 28 (34.1%), dual-antiplatelet therapy was either not initiated at day 1 or was discontinued thereafter. After exclusion of cases without further controls of stent patency, there was no significant difference in the rate of subacute/late stent thrombosis between the 2 groups: 1/50 (2%) in patients with continuous dual-antiplatelet therapy versus 0/22 (0%) in patients with absent/discontinued dual-antiplatelet therapy (P = 1.000). In total, we observed 88 patient days without any antiplatelet treatment and 471 patient days with single antiplatelet treatment. CONCLUSIONS Discontinuation of dual-antiplatelet therapy was not associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis beyond postprocedural day 1. Further studies are warranted to better assess the additional benefit and optimal duration of dual-antiplatelet therapy after tandem lesion stroke thrombectomy.

Abstract
Stent thrombosis (ST) is a catastrophic event and efforts to reduce its incidence by altering blood-stent interactions are longstanding. A new electret coating technology that produces long-lasting negative charge on stent surface could make them intrinsically resistant to thrombosis. We assessed the thrombogenicity of stents using an annular perfusion model with confocal microscopy, and determined the efficacy of electret coating technology to confer thrombo-resistant properties to standard stents. Using an annular perfusion chamber, Bare Metal Stent (BMS), standard uncoated DES (DES), and Electret-coated DES (e-DES) were exposed to human blood under arterial flow conditions. Deposits of fibrinogen and platelets on the stent surface were analyzed using immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy. Surface coverage by fibrinogen and platelets and the deposit/aggregate size were quantified using computerized morphometric analysis. The experimental methodology produced consistent, quantifiable results. Area of stent surface covered by fibrinogen and platelets and the average size of the deposits/aggregates were lowest for e-DES and highest on BMS, with DES in the middle. The size of fibrinogen-deposits showed no differences between the stents. The testing methodology used in our study successfully demonstrated that electret coating confers significant antithrombotic property to DES stents. These findings warrant confirmation in a larger study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incretins are a group of glucose-lowering drugs with favourable cardiovascular (CV) effects against neoatherosclerosis. Incretins' potential effect in stent failure is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine if incretin treatment decreases the risk of stent-thrombosis (ST), and/or in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with implanted drug-eluting stents (DES). METHODS Observational study including all diabetes patients who underwent PCI with DES in Sweden from 2007 to 2017. By merging 5 national registers, the information on patient characteristics, outcomes and drug dispenses was retrieved. Cox regression analysis with estimated hazard ratios (HRs) adjusted for confounders with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used to analyse for the occurrence of ST/ISR, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). A subgroup analysis for the type of incretin treatment was performed. RESULTS In total 18,505 diabetes patients (30% women) underwent PCI, and 32,463 DES were implanted. Of those, 10% (3449 DES in 1943 patients) were treated with incretins. Median follow-up time was 995 days (Control Group) vs. 771 days (Incretin Group). No significant difference in the risk of ST/ISR was found neither for the main study group (HR:0.98 95% CI:0.80-1.19) nor for the subgroups. No reduction of the risk of MACE (HR:0.96 95% CI:0.88-1.06) was observed. There was a 26% lower risk for CV death in favour of incretin treated patients (HR:0.74 95% CI:0.57-0.95). CONCLUSION In diabetes patients who underwent PCI incretin treatment was not associated with lower risk of stent failure, but with lower risk of CV death.

Abstract
Over the past 40 years, the safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention has dramatically improved by overcoming several challenges. The introduction of drug-eluting stent (DES) in particular was a major breakthrough in interventional cardiology. Compared to bare-metal stents, first-generation DES (G1-DES) has dramatically reduced the rates of in-stent restenosis and subsequent target lesion revascularization. However, major safety concerns surrounding stent thrombosis (ST) emerged with G1-DES in clinical practice as a result of the high incidences of death, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization associated with ST. To overcome these limitations, second-generation DES (G2-DES) has been developed with an improved stent platform with thinner strut and biocompatible durable or biodegradable polymers. Indeed, G2-DES, when compared with G1-DES, has improved clinical outcomes by reducing the risk of late thrombotic events while maintaining anti-restenotic efficacy, whereas ST still occurs, even with the use of G2-DES. This review gives an overview of pathophysiology, risk factors, and outcomes of ST after DES implantation. Additionally, we discuss the management and prevention of ST.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was to analyze the incidence of definite stent thrombosis (ST) after the implantation of drug-eluting stents (DESs) and cutoff value of overlapping length for predicting definite ST. An overlapping stent is associated with a high rate of clinical events after DES implantation compared with a non-overlapping stent. However, the rates of definite ST and clinical outcomes from a large patient population remain underreported. METHODS A total of 15,561 patients with 24,183 lesions who underwent DES implantation from January 2005 to February 2017 were retrospectively included in 5 tertiary hospitals in China. The main endpoint was the incidence of definite ST after procedures. RESULTS With a median of 1932 (IQR = 1194-2929) days, clinical follow-up was available in 7484 patients in the overlap group and in 8077 patients in the non-overlap group. The rates of definite ST were 3.1% in the overlap group and 1.2% in the non-overlap group (HR: 2.67 (95% CI: 2.11-3.38), p < 0.001). Of the 24,183 treated lesions, the incidences of definite ST were 2.4% in the overlap group and 0.9% in the non-overlap group (HR: 2.96 (95% CI: 2.38-3.69), p < 0.001). Stent overlap was associated with a higher rate of target lesion revascularization (TLR) (9.4%) compared with stent non-overlap (6.4%, p < 0.001). The length of overlapping stent ≥ 2.93 mm strongly correlated with definite ST. CONCLUSION The present study shows that overlapping DES increases definite ST and revascularization in patients during long-term follow-up. In addition, the longer overlapping zone was associated with worse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stent thrombosis (ST) is a common phenomenon in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) when compared to stable coronary artery disease. This study analyzed the patient- and operator-related risk factors of ST in ACS. METHODS Coronary angiograms of 1738 consecutive ACS patients admitted in a large tertiary center between year 2014 and 2016 were analyzed retrospectively for the presence of ST. The paired angiograms [ST in ACS during and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)] of the patients were analyzed by two independent observers, with focus on lesion characteristics and procedure techniques. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. RESULTS Stent thrombosis was found in 29 (1.6%) ACS patients, with a combination of at least one clinical/laboratory risk factor and one lesion/operator risk factor identified in 28 (96%) out of the 29 ACS patients with ST. The following risk factors for ST were found: Renal insufficiency (OR=4.14, p<0.001, 95% CI=1.73-9.88), type 2 diabetes (OR=2.21, p=0.034, 95% CI=1.06-4.61), excessive alcohol consumption (OR=3.12, p=0.023, 95% CI=1.17-8.33), stent implantation for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (OR=2.28, p=0.029, 95% CI=1.08-4.81), left main (LM) or left anterior descending artery (LAD) as culprit lesion (OR=2.80, p=0.010, CI 95%=1.27-5.95), and absence of antiplatelet therapy prior to ST (OR=3.58, p=0.002, 95% CI=1.60-7.96). The following lesion/operator possible risk factors were identified: Bifurcation lesion (n=7; 24%), heavy coronary calcifications (n=13; 44%), in-stent restenosis with secondary plate rupture (n=6, 20%), inappropriate stent size selection (n=6, 20%), and errors in periprocedural drug administration (n=4, 14%). CONCLUSION ST occurred in 1/62 ACS patients after PCI. A combination of clinical/laboratory and lesion/operator risk factors were present in almost all ACS patients with ST. This finding may support the search for strictly individualized strategies for the treatment of ACS patients with ST after PCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess feasibility, safety and efficacy of hybrid approach, consisting in a combination of modern drug-eluting stent (DES) and drug-eluting balloon (DCB), for treatment of de-novo diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUNDS Contemporary DES are associated with a persistent risk of major cardiovascular events, due to in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. The hybrid approach, reducing the permanent metallic cage length, is supposed to mitigate the risk of device-related adverse events, especially in diffuse CAD. METHODS This is a prospective, non-randomized, observational, multicenter study intended to obtain data from 100 consecutive patients affected by de-novo diffuse CAD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with a hybrid approach, consisting in the combined use of DES and DCB in contiguous coronary segments. The study is recorded in ClinicalTrials.gov with the identifier: NCT03939468. RESULTS The primary endpoint is a device oriented composite end-point (DOCE) of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI) and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR) in DES- and/or DCB-treated segment. DOCE will be assessed at 12-months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This will be the first study investigating the feasibility, safety and efficacy of hybrid DES/DCB approach for the treatment of de-novo diffuse CAD. Here we describe the rationale and the design of the study.

Abstract
The combination of atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a complex situation in which a three-dimensional risk-cardioembolic, coronary, and hemorrhagic-has to be carefully managed. Triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT) is burdened with a high risk of serious bleeding, while dual antithrombotic therapy with an anticoagulant (DAT) likely provides only suboptimal coronary protection early after stent implantation. Moreover, TAT precludes the advantages provided by the use of the latest and more potent P2Y12 inhibitors in ACS patients. Here, we aimed to simulate and compare the expected coronary, cardioembolic, and hemorrhagic outcomes offered by DAT, TAT, or modern dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin plus one of the latest P2Y12 inhibitors in AF patients early after an ACS. The comparison of numbers needed to treat to prevent major adverse events with the various antithrombotic regimens suggests that AF-ACS patients at high ischemic and hemorrhagic risk and at moderately low embolic risk (CHA2DS2VASc score 2-4) might safely withhold anticoagulation after revascularization for one month taking advantage of a modern DAPT, with a favorable risk-to-benefit ratio. In conclusion, this strategy, not sufficiently addressed in recent European and North American guidelines or consensus documents, adds to the spectrum of treatment options in these difficult patients; it might be the best choice in a substantial number of patients; and should be prospectively tested in a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
Aspirin plays a pivotal role in the management of patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with well-recognised benefits of reducing recurrent myocardial infarction and minimising the risk of stent thrombosis for those undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Dual antiplatelet therapy is mandated for patients undergoing PCI and typically consists of aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor antagonist. Aspirin hypersensitivity poses a significant clinical dilemma, as the safety and efficacy of oral antiplatelet combinations that exclude aspirin have not been validated. Although, genuine hypersensitivity to aspirin is encountered infrequently, it can be challenging when managing patients with concomitant CAD given the paucity of safe and effective alternatives. Aspirin desensitization is a potential and safe option but may not always be practical. This review aims to highlight the challenges of aspirin hypersensitivity in patients undergoing PCI and propose a treatment algorithm to address this issue in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Stent thrombosis (ST) is a rare, but potentially fatal complication. Procedural problems, such as stent under-dimension/under-expansion or dual antiplatelet drug resistance may result into ST. These conditions are more frequent during primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Case summary A 60-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with an inferior STEMI. In the emergency department, a dual antiplatelet therapy was administered with ticagrelor 180 mg and aspirin 250 mg IV. During the observation, the patient experienced a ventricular fibrillation. Urgent coronary angiography showed an occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery. Thrombus aspiration was performed followed by implantation of one drug-eluting stent. After 45 min early ST occurred and was treated by immediate thrombus aspiration and post-dilatation. Intravascular ultrasound sonography (IVUS) showed severe strut malapposition due to a partial crush after post-dilatation. Since it was not possible to directly insert the first guidewire in the stent lumen, the IVUS probe was placed between the vessel wall and the crushed stent to guide the manoeuvre. Discussion Crushed stent is a rare complication, being caused by an incorrect passage of the guidewire between the stent’s struts and the vessel wall in case of severe underexpansion. In this case, an IVUS-guided re-entry could be an option to gain the stent true lumen and avoid a second stent implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent thrombosis (ST) is a dreaded complication after stent implantation and is associated with a mortality between 5% and 45%. The mechanisms by which ST arises are complex. Because of the seriousness of this situation, all phy - sicians should have at least basic knowledge of it. In this article, we present the risk factors for ST and discuss some innovative approaches to its treatment. METHODS This review is based on pertinent articles retrieved by a selective search in PubMed, and on current international guidelines and expert recommendations. RESULTS The frequency of ST has been markedly lowered by technical advances in coronary stenting and by the implementation of modern implantation techniques, including the introduction of coverage with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Both patient-related risk factors and procedural aspects can elevate the risk of ST. The independent risk factors for ST include premature termination of DAPT (hazard ratio [HR] 26.8; 95% confidence interval [8.4; 85.4]; p <0.0001), malignant disease (odds ratio [OR]: 17.45; [4.67; 65.26]; p <0.0001), and diabetes mellitus (OR: 3.14; [1.33; 7.45]; p = 0.0093). In comparison to angiographically guided procedures, the use of intracoronary imaging techniques in patients with acute coronary syndrome lowers the frequency of ST (0.6% versus 1.2%; p = 0.005). These techniques enable the detection of many findings in the coronary arteries that are associated with the development of ST. In such cases, countermeasures such as secondary stent dilatation or prolongation of DAPT can help prevent ST. CONCLUSION As the pathophysiology of ST is multifactorial, research in this area presents a special challenge. Prospective clinical trials will be needed to determine whether the systematic use of imaging techniques can lower the frequency of ST.

Abstract
Opiates are the traditional analgesics used in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Pharmacodynamic studies indicate that opiates delay the absorption of orally administered P2Y12 inhibitors and the onset of platelet inhibition. Whether these negative effects on platelet inhibition have an impact on clinical outcomes is unclear. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed searching PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify studies comparing morphine and no-morphine treatment in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary end point was the occurrence of in-hospital myocardial infarction, and secondary end points were in-hospital stroke and death. Four observational studies were identified, including 3,220 patients with STEMI. Morphine-treated patients had a higher unadjusted rate of reinfarction compared with patients not receiving morphine (1.5% vs. 0.67%, odds ratio (OR) 2.41; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11-5.21; P = 0.03). Unadjusted mortality rate was lower in morphine-treated patients (1.7% vs. 4.2%, OR 0.43, 95% CI, 0.23-0.81; P = 0.009). Exclusion of the study with baseline differences between groups showed more frequent reinfarction in the morphine group, but this was no longer statistically significant (1.3% vs. 0.5%, OR 2.02; 95% CI, 0.39-10.43; P = 0.40). There was no difference in stroke according to morphine treatment. Patients pretreated with morphine appear to have a higher rate of reinfarction than patients not receiving morphine. This may be attributable to opiate-related delay in P2Y12 inhibitor absorption and resultant delay in onset of platelet inhibition. These concerning findings indicate the need for prospective, randomized trials to assess the impact of opiates on clinical outcomes in STEMI.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the long-term outcomes of patients treated with sirolimus-eluting Stentys stent in a real-life setting. BACKGROUND Few data regarding the safety and effectiveness of self-apposing sirolimus-eluting Stentys stent are available. METHODS 278 patients (30% stable coronary artery disease, 70% acute coronary syndromes, and 54% on unprotected left main) treated with sirolimus eluting Stentys stent were retrospectively included in the self-aPposing, bAlloon-delivered, siRolimus-eluting stent for the Treatment of the coronary Artery disease multicenter registry. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, stent thrombosis) were the primary end-point, single components of MACE were the secondary ones. RESULTS After 13 months (interquartile range 5-32), MACE was 14%. Stent thrombosis occurred in 3.9% of the patients (2.5% definite stent thrombosis and 1.4% probable stent thrombosis), 66% of them presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at admission. Cardiovascular death, target lesion revascularization and myocardial infarction was 4.7%, 8.3%, and 7.2%, respectively. At multivariate analysis, risk of MACE was increased by diabetes (hazard ratios 4.76; P = 0.002) but was not affected by the indication leading to sirolimus-eluting Stentys stent implantation (marked vessel tapering vs. coronary ecstasies, hazard ratios 0.74, P = 0.71). CONCLUSION Sirolimus-eluting Stentys stent may represent a potential solution for specific coronary anatomies such as bifurcation, ectasic, or tapered vessels. Risk of stent thrombosis appears related to clinical presentation with STEMI and to anatomic features, stressing the importance of the use of intracoronary imaging for self-expandable stents implantation.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is currently the leading cause of death globally, and the prevalence of this disease is growing more rapidly in the Asia-Pacific region than in Western countries. Although the use of metal coronary stents has rapidly increased thanks to the advancement of safety and efficacy of newer generation drug eluting stent (DES), patients are still negatively affected by some the inherent limitations of this type of treatment, such as stent thrombosis or restenosis, including neoatherosclerosis, and the obligatory use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with unknown optimal duration. Drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment is based on a leave-nothing-behind concept and therefore it is not limited by stent thrombosis and long-term DAPT; it directly delivers an anti-proliferative drug which is coated on a balloon after improving coronary blood flow. At present, DCB treatment is recommended as the first-line treatment option in metal stent-related restenosis linked to DES and bare metal stent. For de novo coronary lesions, the application of DCB treatment is extended further, for conditions such as small vessel disease, bifurcation lesions, and chronic total occlusion lesions, and others. Recently, several reports have suggested that fractional flow reserve guided DCB application was safe for larger coronary artery lesions and showed good long-term outcomes. Therefore, the aim of these recommendations of the consensus group was to provide adequate guidelines for patients with CAD based on objective evidence, and to extend the application of DCB to a wider variety of coronary diseases and guide their most effective and correct use in actual clinical practice.

Abstract
Aim: This study sought to investigate the predictive value of estimated whole blood viscosity (WBV) for stent thrombosis (ST) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Materials & methods: A total of 1720 STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention were followed up for median 36.0 months. WBV was calculated according to the Simone's formula. Results: During follow-up period, 119 patients were diagnosed as 'definite' ST. The rate of ST was significantly higher in the high WBV group. In multivariate analysis, adjusted for other factors, higher WBV significantly increased risk of ST at both shear rates. Conclusion: Being an easily accessible and costless parameter, WBV seems to be an emerging predictor of ST in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
AIMS The natural history of intermediate coronary lesions (30 to 70% angiographic stenosis) and the prognostic predictors in predicting very long-term clinical outcomes is unknown. METHODS Patients (n = 82, mean 60 years old) with intermediate non-culprit coronary lesions (NCL, n = 86), evaluated by virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS), were followed for 10 years. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and revascularization) were collected over follow-up period and stratified by culprit lesion (CL)-related, NCL-related and indeterminate/unrelated to CL or NCL lesions. NCL-related MACE was further stratified into intermediate and minimal NCL-related events. RESULTS Twenty two (25.6%) out of 86 intermediate NCL were associated with MACE in 20/82 (24.4%) study patients. Ten-year cumulative intermediate NCL-related MACE rate was twice (25.6% vs. 12.8%) compared to treated culprit lesion (CL)-related MACE. Ten-year cumulative revascularization rate of the intermediate NCL lesions was similar (17.4% vs. 15.1%) to those of CL, but higher than that of minimal (stenosed <30% at baseline) NCL (8.1%). Important intermediate NCL VH-IVUS predictor for MACE was area stenosis ≥50%, and for revascularization were percent diameter stenosis, plaque burden ≥70%, and fibrofatty area. CONCLUSIONS Ten-year MACE rate of intermediate NCL was double that of CL and ten-year revascularization rate of intermediate NCL was similar or slightly higher than that of CL. VH-IVUS may play an important role in determining the very long-term clinical outcomes in patients with intermediate NCL. This study suggests that Intermediate NCL can be safely followed up in terms of revascularization risk.

Abstract
With the development of stent design and surgical techniques, the relative benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and complex coronary artery disease are highly debated. This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the outcomes of drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation and CABG in these cohorts. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library up to January 4, 2018, was performed. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs), subgroup analysis from RCTs, or adjusted observational studies were eligible. Five RCTs and 13 adjusted observational studies involving 17 532 patients were included. Overall, PCI with DES was significantly associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.29), myocardial infarction (MI; HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.43-2.00), and repeat revascularization (HR: 3.77, 95% CI: 2.76-5.16) compared with CABG. Nevertheless, the risk of stroke was significantly lower in the DES group (HR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.54-0.83). The incidence of the composite end point of death, MI, or stroke was comparable between the 2 groups (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.84-1.17). Despite the higher risk of stroke, CABG was better than PCI with DES for diabetic patients with multivessel and/or left main coronary artery disease.
