Abstract
In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a recognized complication following percutaneous coronary intervention in which the luminal diameter is narrowed through neointimal hyperplasia and vessel remodeling. Although rates of ISR have decreased in most recent years owing to newer generation drug-eluting stents, thinner struts, and better intravascular imaging modalities, ISR remains a prevalent dilemma that proves to be challenging to manage. Several factors have been proposed to contribute to ISR formation, including mechanical stent characteristics, technical factors during the coronary intervention, and biological aspects of drug-eluting stents. Presentation of ISR can range from asymptomatic to late myocardial infarction and could be difficult to differentiate from acute thrombus formation. No definite guidelines are present on the management of ISR. In this review, we will discuss the mechanisms underlying ISR and provide insight into patient-related and procedural risk factors contributing to ISR, in addition to highlighting common treatment approaches utilized in the management of ISR.

Abstract
This review examines the conduct and reporting of observational studies using propensity score-based methods to compare coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or medical therapy for patients with coronary artery disease. A systematic selection process identified 48 studies: 20 addressing CABG versus PCI; 21 addressing bare-metal stents versus drug-eluting stents; 5 addressing CABG versus medical therapy; 1 addressing PCI versus medical therapy; and 1 addressing drug-eluting stents versus balloon angioplasty. Of 32 studies reporting information on variable selection, 7 relied exclusively on statistical criteria for the association of covariates with treatment, and 5 used such criteria to determine whether product or nonlinear terms should be included in the propensity score model. Twenty-five (52%) studies reported assessing covariate balance using the estimated propensity score, but only 1 described modifications to the propensity score model based on this assessment. The over 400 variables used in the 48 propensity score models were classified into 12 categories and 60 subcategories; only 17 subcategories were represented in at least half of the propensity score models. Overall, reporting of propensity score-based methods in observational studies comparing CABG, PCI, and medical therapy was incomplete; when adequately described, the methods used were often inconsistent with current methodological standards.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of physician and hospital market structures on medical technology diffusion, studying the diffusion of drug-eluting stents (DESs), which became available in April 2003. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING Medicare claims linked to physician demographic data from the American Medical Association and to hospital characteristics from the American Hospital Association Survey. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective claims data analyses. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS All fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries who received a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a cardiac stent in 2003 or 2004. Each PCI record was joined to characteristics on the patient, the procedure, the cardiologist, and the hospital where the PCI was delivered. We accounted for the endogeneity of physician and hospital market structure using exogenous variation in the distances between patient, physician, and hospital locations. We estimated multivariate linear probability models that related the use of a DES in the PCI on market structure while controlling for patient, physician, and hospital characteristics. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS DESs diffused faster in markets where cardiology practices faced more competition. Conversely, we found no evidence that the structure of the hospital market mattered. CONCLUSIONS Competitive pressure to maintain or expand PCI volume shares compelled cardiologists to adopt DESs more quickly.

Eur J Intern Med 2017; 37:43-48.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The BASE ACS trial demonstrated an outcome of titanium-nitride-oxide-coated bioactive stents (BAS) that was non-inferior to everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We performed a post hoc analysis of elderly versus non-elderly patients from the BASE ACS trial. METHODS We randomized 827 patients (1:1) presenting with ACS to receive either BAS or EES. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE): a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR). Follow-up was planned at 12months and yearly thereafter for up to 7years. Elderly age was defined as ≥65years. RESULTS Of the 827 patients enrolled in the BASE ACS trial, 360 (43.5%) were elderly. Mean follow-up duration was 4.2±1.9years. MACE was more frequent in elderly versus younger patients (19.7% versus 12.0%, respectively, p=0.002), probably driven by more frequent cardiac death and non-fatal MI events (5.3% versus 1.5%, and 9.7% versus 4.5%, p=0.002 and p=0.003, respectively). The rates of ischemia-driven TLR were comparable (p>0.05). In propensity score-matched analysis (215 pairs), only cardiac death was more frequent in elderly patients (6% versus 1.4%, respectively, p=0.01). Diabetes independently predicted both MACE and cardiac death in elderly patients. CONCLUSIONS Elderly patients treated with stent implantation for ACS had worse long-term clinical outcome, compared with younger ones, mainly due to a higher death rate.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stenting (DES) has become a reliable tool for coronary stenting; however, its direct effects on platelet and endothelium function differ from those of bare-metal stenting (BMS). This study involved a periprocedural analysis of various biomarkers of cellular activation after elective DES (Xience(®), Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) or BMS (Integrity(®), Medtronic, Minneapolis, MI, USA). Forty-nine stable angina patients were recruited: 28 underwent BMS, and 21 received everolimus-eluting stents. Samples were collected (i) prior to stenting, (ii) at 24 hours after procedure, and (iii) after 1 month of dual antiplatelet therapy. Platelet activation was analyzed by surface P-selectin positivity in parallel with plasma levels of soluble P-selectin, CD40L and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Endothelial cell (EC) activation was detected by measuring markers of early (von Willebrand factor) and delayed response (VCAM-1, ICAM-1, E-selectin). Patients were followed for 6 months for the occurrence of restenosis or stent thrombosis. Increased platelet activation was sustained regardless of stent type or antiplatelet medication. Concentrations of most EC markers were more elevated after BMS than after DES. No stent thrombosis was seen, but six BMS subjects displayed restenosis with significantly higher sCD40L (779 [397-899] vs. 381 [229-498] pg/mL; p = 0.032) and sICAM-1 (222 [181-272] vs. 162 [153-223] ng/mL; p = 0.046) levels than in those without complication, while DES patients exhibited significantly decreased PDGF (572 [428-626] vs. 244 [228-311] pg/mL; p = 0.004) after 1 month. Nonresponsiveness to antiplatelet drugs did not influence these changes. In conclusion, the degree of platelet and EC activation suggests that Xience(®) DES may be regarded a safer coronary intervention than Integrity(®) BMS, with a lower risk of in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-eluting stents (DES) improve outcomes in elderly patients with small coronary artery disease compared with bare-metal stents (BMS), but randomized data in elderly patients in need of large coronary stents are not available. METHODS Planned secondary analysis of patients ≥75 years recruited to the "BASKET-PROVE" trial, in which 2,314 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for large (≥3.0 mm) native vessel disease were randomized 2:1 to DES (everolimus- vs sirolimus-eluting stents 1:1) versus BMS. All patients received 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy. The primary end point was a composite of cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction at 2 years. RESULTS Comparison of DES versus BMS among 405 patients ≥75 years showed significantly lower rates of the primary end point for DES (5.0% vs 11.6%; hazard ration (HR) 0.64 [0.44-0.91]; P = .014). Rates of nonfatal myocardial infarction (1.2% vs 5.5%, hazard ration (HR) 0.44 [0.21-0.83]; P = .009), all-cause death (7.4% vs 14.4%; HR 0.7 [0.51-0.95]; P = .02), and target vessel revascularization (TVR) (2.3% vs 6.2%; HR 0.59 [0.34-0.99]; P = .046) were also lower, whereas stent thrombosis and bleeding rates were similar. In contrast, among patients <75 years (n = 1,909), the only significant benefit of DES was a reduced rate of TVR (4.0% vs 8.7%, HR 0.66 [0.55-0.80]; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS In patients ≥75 years requiring large (≥3.0 mm) coronary stents, use of DES was beneficial compared with BMS and reduced the rate of ischemic events, mortality, and TVR. These data suggest that DES should be preferred over BMS in elderly patients.

Abstract
Currently a quarter of all patients treated with percutanous coronary intervention (PCI) are aged >75 years, with this proportion steadily growing. This subset of patients have a number of unique characteristics, such as a greater number of cardiovascular risk factors and frequently a larger burden of coronary artery disease, when compared to younger patients, therefore potentially deriving increased benefit from revascularization. Nonetheless this population are also more likely to experience procedural complications, secondary to age-related physiological alterations, increased frailty and increased prevalence of other co-morbidities. This article reviews the various aspects and data available to clinicians pertaining to and guiding revascularization in the elderly, including the use of adjuvant pharmacotherapy, specific considerations when considering age-related physiology, and revascularization in acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-eluting stents (DES) have largely replaced bare-metal stents (BMS) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is uncertain, however, whether introduction of DES had a significant impact on the comparative effectiveness of PCI versus coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) for death and myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS We identified Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥66 years who underwent multivessel CABG or multivessel PCI and matched PCI and CABG patients on propensity score. We defined the BMS era as January 1999 to April 2003 and the DES era as May 2003 to December 2006. We compared 5-year outcomes of CABG and PCI using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for baseline characteristics and year of procedure and tested for a statistically significant interaction (P(int)) of DES era with treatment (CABG or PCI). RESULTS Five-year survival improved from the BMS era to the DES era by 1.2% for PCI and by 1.1% for CABG, and the CABG:PCI hazard ratio was unchanged (0.90 vs 0.90; P(int) = .96). Five-year MI-free survival improved by 1.4% for PCI and 1.1% for CABG, with no change in the CABG:PCI hazard ratio (0.81 vs 0.82; P(int) = .63). By contrast, survival-free of MI or repeat coronary revascularization improved from the BMS era to the DES era by 5.7% for PCI and 0.9% for CABG, and the CABG:PCI hazard ratio changed significantly (0.50 vs 0.57, P(int) ≤ .0001). CONCLUSIONS The introduction of DES did not alter the comparative effectiveness of CABG and PCI with respect to hard cardiac outcomes.

Impact on in-hospital outcomes with drug-eluting stents versus bare-metal stents (from 665,804 procedures). Am J Cardiol 2014; 114:1629-37.

Abstract
Contemporary large-scale data, regarding in-hospital outcomes depending on the types of stent used for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is lacking. We queried the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2006 to 2011 using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification procedure code 36.06 (bare-metal coronary artery stent, BMS) or 36.07 (drug-eluting coronary artery stent, DES) for PCI. All analyses were performed using the designated weighting specified to the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database to minimize bias. Primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Wald's chi-square test was used for categorical variables. We built a hierarchical 2 level model adjusted for multiple confounding factors, with hospital identification incorporated as random effects in the model and propensity match analyses were used to adjust confounding variables. A total of 665,804 procedures were analyzed, which were representative of 3,277,884 procedures in the United States. Use of bare-metal stents (BMS) was associated with greater occurrence of in-hospital mortality compared with that of drug-eluting stents (DES; 1.4% vs 0.5%, p <0.001). The association stayed significant after adjustment of various possible confounding factors (odds ratio for DES versus BMS 0.59 [0.54 to 0.64, p <0.001]) and also in propensity matched cohorts (1.2% vs 0.7%, p <0.001). The results continued to be similar in the following high-risk subgroups: diabetes (0.57 [0.50 to 0.64, <0.001]), acute myocardial infarction and/or shock (0.53 [0.49 to 0.57, <0.001]), age >80 (0.66 [0.58 to 0.74, <0.001]), and multivessel PCI (0.55 [0.46 to 0.66, <0.001]). In conclusion, DES use was associated with lesser in-hospital mortality compared with BMS. This outcome benefit was seen across subgroups in various subgroups including elderly, diabetics, and acute myocardial infarction as well as multivessel interventions.

Abstract
With the increase in life expectancy, the proportion of very elderly people is increasing. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in this age group, for which myocardial revascularization is often indicated. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the very elderly bears the inherent risks of complications and mortality, but the potential benefits may outweigh these risks. A number of observational studies, registries, and few randomized controlled trials have shown the safety and feasibility of PCI in octogenarians and nonagenarians. However, PCI is only rarely done in centenarians; so, the outcome of percutaneous coronary revascularization in this age group is largely unknown. PCI in a centenarian with complex CAD is described here; the patient presented with unstable angina despite optimum medical therapy, and surgery was declined. Good angiographic success was followed by non-cardiac complications, which were managed with a multidisciplinary approach.

Comparison of cost-effectiveness of oral rapamycin plus bare-metal stents versus first generation of drug-eluting stents (from the Randomized Oral Rapamycin in Argentina [ORAR] 3 trial). Am J Cardiol 2014; 113:815-21. [PMID: 24528614 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2013.11.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2013] [Revised: 11/14/2013] [Accepted: 11/14/2013] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare 5-year cost-effectiveness and clinical outcomes of patients with oral rapamycin (OR) plus bare-metal stent versus the drug-eluting stent (DES) strategy. During 2006 to 2007, a total of 200 patients were randomized to OR (n = 100) and DES (n = 100). Primary end point was to compare costs of initial procedure and cost-effectiveness of both revascularization strategies. Safety was evaluated by the composite of death, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident. Efficacy was assessed by target vessel and target lesion revascularizations. The 2 groups had similar baseline demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics. In the DES group, paclitaxel-, zotarolimus-, and sirolimus-eluting stents were used. Five-year clinical follow-up was accomplished in 99% patients. The DES group had significantly higher procedural (p <0.001), discharge to first-year (p = 0.02), and 1- to 5-year costs (p <0.001) compared with the OR group. At 5 years, the composite end point of death, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident (12% in the OR group vs 25% in the DES group, p = 0.01) was significantly less in the OR group. Target vessel revascularization (14.5% in the OR group vs 21% in the DES group, p = 0.16) and target lesion revascularization (10% in the OR group vs 17.6% in the DES group, p = 0.05) were not significantly different. In conclusion, a strategy of OR plus bare-metal stent was cost saving than a first-generation DES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Little is known about the relative efficacies of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) and bare-metal stents (BMS) in elderly patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome for geriatric patients who received either DES or BMS. METHODS From January 2002 to October 2005, 199 consecutive Chinese geriatric patients (≥ 75 years old) underwent PCI with coronary DES or BMS implantation at our institution. We analyzed the major clinical end points that included all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization (TLR), stent thrombosis, and bleeding complications. RESULTS The three-year cumulative rates of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, and myocardial infarction were significantly lower in the DES group (6.3%, 3.6%, 5.4%) compared with the BMS group (16.2%, 11.5%, 14.9%; P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in the three-year cumulative rate for target lesion revascularization (6.3% vs. 4.6%, P = 0.61) or stent thrombosis (3.6% vs. 2.3%, P = 0.70). Likewise, there were no statistically significant differences in the cumulative rate for intracranial hemorrhage, or major and minor hemorrhage at three years. CONCLUSIONS DES-based PCI was associated with a significant reduction in the three-year cumulative rate of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, and myocardial infarction compared with BMS, without increased risk of TLR, stent thrombosis, or bleeding complications at three years in this group of Chinese geriatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have high risks of coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary revascularization is beneficial for long-term survival, but the optimal strategy remains still controversial. METHODS We searched studies that have compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for revascularization of the coronary arteries in CKD patients. Short-term (30 days or in-hospital) mortality, long-term (at least 12 months) all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality and the incidence of late myocardial infarction and recurrence of revascularization were estimated. RESULTS 28 studies with 38,740 patients were included. All were retrospective studies from 1977 to 2012. Meta-analysis showed that PCI group had lower short-term mortality (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.73, P<0.01), but had higher long-term all-cause mortality (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.23 to 1.35, P<0.01). Higher cardiac mortality (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.15, P<0.05), higher incidence of late myocardial infarction (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.65 to 1.91, P<0.01) and recurring revascularization rate (OR 2.94, 95%CI 2.15 to 4.01, P<0.01) is found amongst PCI treated patients compared to CABG group. CONCLUSIONS CKD patients with CAD received CABG had higher risk of short-term mortality but lower risks of long-term all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality and late myocardial infarction compared to PCI. This could be due to less probable repeated revascularization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the risk of long-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in octogenarians. BACKGROUND DES implantation requires DAT; however, DAT-associated risk in octogenarians remains unclear. METHODS Two-hundred and six consecutive octogenarians (130 men, 83.3 ± 3.4 years) underwent stent implantation (104 bare metal stents [BMSs] and 102 DESs) and 38.0 ± 13.2 months of follow-up. RESULTS Significantly more DES patients received DAT. The incidence of bleeding events was similar in the DES and BMS groups for 1 year (total: 10.8% vs 5.8%, P = 0.19; major: 4.9% vs 2.9%, P = 0.70). However, after 2 years, significantly more bleeding events occurred in the DES group than the BMS group (total: 2 years, 21.6% vs 9.6%, P = 0.02; 3 years, 29.4% vs 11.5%, P = 0.001; 4 years, 31.4% vs 15.4%, P = 0.007; major: 2 years, 12.7% vs 3.8%, P = 0.04; 3 years, 18.6% vs 5.8%, P = 0.005; 4 years, 19.6% vs 6.7%, P = 0.006). Overall, significantly more total bleeding events (31.4% vs 15.4%, P = 0.007) and major bleeding events (19.2% vs 6.7%, P = 0.006) were observed in the DES group than in the BMS group. The adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were as follows: total bleeding events, 2.203 (95% CI: 1.065-4.556; P = 0.033); major bleeding events, 4.324 (1.506-12.414; P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS DAT was associated with an increased risk of bleeding events in octogenarians after 2 years. DAT discontinuation should be considered for octogenarians 1-year post-DES implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting evidence exists on sex-based outcomes after coronary stenting. METHODS AND RESULTS Data on 426 996 patients ≥65 years old (42.3% women) from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI Registry (2004-2008) were linked to Medicare inpatient claims to compare in-hospital outcomes by sex and long-term outcomes by sex and stent type. In-hospital complications were more frequent in women than in men: death (3869 [2.2%] versus 3737 [1.6%]; adjusted odds ratio, 1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33-1.49), myocardial infarction (2365 [1.3%] versus 2858 [1.2%]; odds ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.11-1.27), bleeding (7860 [4.4%] versus 5627 [2.3%]; odds ratio, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.79-1.93), and vascular complications (2381 [1.3%] versus 1648 [0.7%]; odds ratio, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.73-1.99). At 20.4 months, women had a lower adjusted risk of death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.92; 95% CI, 0.90-0.94) but similar rates of myocardial infarction, revascularization, and bleeding. Relative to bare metal stent use, drug-eluting stent use was associated with similar improved long-term outcomes in both sexes: death (women: adjusted HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.76-0.81; men: HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.74-0.79), myocardial infarction (women: HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.74-0.84; men: HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.77-0.85), and revascularization (women: HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.90-0.97; men: HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.88-0.94). There was no interaction between sex and stent type for long-term outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In contemporary coronary stenting, women have a slightly higher procedural risk than men but have better long-term survival. In both sexes, use of a drug-eluting stent is associated with lower long-term likelihood for death, myocardial infarction, and revascularization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high number of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has facilitated greater research, resulting in the development of innovative medical devices. So far, results from economic evaluations that compared drug-eluting stents (DES) and bare-metal stents (BMS) have not shown clear evidence that one intervention is more cost effective than the other. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to measure the cost effectiveness of DES compared with BMS in routine care. METHODS We used administrative data from a large German sickness fund to compare the costs and effectiveness of DES and BMS in patients with AMI. Patients with hospital admission after AMI in 2004 and 2005 were followed up for 1 year after hospital discharge. The cost of treatment and survival after 365 days were compared for patients treated with DES and BMS. We adjusted for covariates defined according to the Ontario Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality Prediction Rules using propensity score matching. After matching, we calculated incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) by (i) using sample means based on bootstrapping procedures and (ii) estimating generalized linear mixed models for costs and survival. RESULTS After propensity score matching, the sample included 719 patients treated with DES and 719 patients treated with BMS. A comparison of sample means resulted in average costs of € 12 714 and € 11 714 for DES and BMS, respectively, in 2005 German euros. Difference in 365-day survival was not statistically significant (700 patients with DES and 701 with BMS). The ICER of DES versus BMS was -€ 718 709 per life saved. Bootstrapping resulted in DES being dominated by BMS in 54.5% of replications and DES being a dominant strategy in 2.7% of replications. Results from regression models and sensitivity analyses confirm these results. CONCLUSION Treatment with DES after admission with AMI is less cost effective than treatment with BMS. Our results are in line with other cost-effectiveness analyses that used administrative data, i.e. under routine care conditions. However, our results do not preclude that DES may be cost effective in specific patient subgroups.

Abstract
Background—
The optimal percutaneous treatment of drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) and the correlates for recurrent DES ISR remain unclear.
Methods and Results—
From 2003 to 2008, 563 patients presenting with recurrent symptoms of ischemia and angiographic ISR after DES implantation were included. Of these, 327 were treated with re-DES (58.1%), 132 underwent vascular brachytherapy (23.4%), and 104 were treated with conventional balloon angioplasty (18.5%). Variables associated with target lesion revascularization at 1 year were explored by individual proportional hazard models. This population presents a high prevalence of comorbidities, including diabetes (43.7%), previous myocardial infarction (MI) (45.8%), coronary bypass graft surgery (39.2%), chronic renal failure (18.8%), and heart failure (17.3%). Baseline clinical characteristics were balanced among the 3 groups; however, patients undergoing vascular brachytherapy presented with more complex lesions and a higher prevalence of prior stent/vascular brachytherapy failure than did the rest of the population. The overall incidence of recurrent DES failure at 1-year follow-up was 12.2%, which was similar among the 3 groups (
P
=0.41). The rate of the composite end point (death, Q-wave-MI and target lesion revascularization) at 1-year follow-up was 14.1% for re-DES, 17.5% for vascular brachytherapy, and 18.0% for conventional balloon angioplasty (
P
=0.57). After univariable analysis tested the traditional known covariates related to ISR, none of them were associated with repeat target lesion revascularization.
Conclusions—
Recurrence of ISR after DES treatment failure is neither infrequent nor benign, and optimal therapy remains unclear and challenging. Given the absence of traditional risk factors for ISR in this population, further research is required to elucidate both the correlates involved in DES ISR and the optimal treatment for this condition.

Abstract
Limited data exist regarding drug-eluting stent (DES) versus bare metal stent (BMS) use in older patients. From the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Dynamic Registry, 5,089 percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-treated patients were studied (October 2001 to August 2006). The differences in 1-year safety (death, myocardial infarction, and their composite) and efficacy (target vessel revascularization [TVR] with PCI and repeat revascularization) outcomes were compared between the patients who received DESs versus BMSs within each age group: <65 years (n = 2,680); 65 to 79 years (n = 1,942); ≥80 years (n = 443). No differences were found in the safety outcomes by stent type in any age group at 1 year. Regarding the effectiveness, lower rates of TVR with PCI and repeat revascularization were observed in the DES patients across all age groups. After propensity-adjusted analysis, the risk of TVR with PCI and repeat revascularization favored DES versus BMS with patients <65 years old (7.4% vs 14.6%, hazard ratio [HR] 0.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.32 to 0.60; 12.3% vs and 17.4%, HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.84, respectively), 65 to 79 years old (4.8% vs 9.5%, HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.80; and 7.6% vs 12.3%, HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.88, respectively), and ≥80 years old (4.5% vs 10.4%, HR 0.15, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.44; and 6.0% vs 14.5%, HR 0.18, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.40, respectively). In conclusion, significant reductions in TVR with PCI and repeat revascularization were noted in all 3 age groups without increases in death or myocardial infarction in this large multicenter PCI registry. Our data support the use of DES, regardless of age.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a transradial approach can be performed in very elderly patients with ischemic heart disease. In our hospital, 20% of elderly patients, who did not undergo emergency PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), died. In contrast, only 7.3% of the elderly patients with ACS (80-98 yrs old, mean age 85 ± 4 years) died, and 4.6% of those (66-79 yrs old, mean age 73 ± 4 years) died after successful emergency PCI. In-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events were associated with anemia, CRP levels at admission, max CK-MB, and the number of involved vessels. The long-term prognosis of the elderly patients after emergency PCI was good with optimum medication, and it was associated with max CK-MB and renal function. Therefore, the indications for emergency PCI for elderly patients with ACS should be identical to that for young patients. However, elderly patients with ACS often show ambiguous symptoms, which make it difficult for them to undergo emergency PCI. Dementia and renal dysfunction are also problematic. On the other hand, improvement in the long-term prognosis of chronic ischemic heart disease by PCI has been shown in elderly patients, but not in younger patients. Observational monitoring showed a better mid-term prognosis after PCI with drug-eluting stent, but bare metal stents are preferable in cases of elderly patients with ACS.

Abstract
The treatment of elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is challenging because this population is complex and greatly expanding. Drug-eluting stents (DES) generally improve the outcome in high-risk cases. We evaluated the clinical impact of different first-generation DES, i.e., sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES), in this context. A prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, allcomers registry consecutively enrolling all patients aged ≥75 years eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with DES was carried out. Only one type of DES was implanted per protocol for each patient. Two groups were identified according to the type of implanted stent, i.e., SES and PES. The primary end point encompassed major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization (TLR). The secondary end point encompassed the rate of definite/probable stent thrombosis and target vessel revascularization (TVR). From June 2004 to May 2008, 151 patients were enrolled. Among them, 112 (74.2%) received SES and 39 (25.8%) received PES. Baseline clinical characteristics were similar, while few angiographic features (ostial location, stent diameter, proximal reference vessel diameter) showed minor differences. At the median follow-up of 22.6 months, primary and secondary end points did not significantly differ in terms of MACE (SES 12.5% vs PES 20.5%, P = 0.3), death (SES 5.4% vs PES 7.7%, P = 0.7), myocardial infarction (SES 4.5% vs PES 10.3%, P = 0.2), TLR (SES 2.7% vs PES 2.6%, P = 1.0), stent thrombosis (SES 1.8% vs PES 5.1%, P = 0.3), and TVR (SES 1.8% vs PES 0%, P = 0.6). In this real-world population of elderly patients treated by DES-PCI for CAD, the overall efficacy and safety have been excellent in both DES, and the choice between SES and PES did not influence the clinical outcome.

Abstract
The options for coronary revascularization broadened in recent years with the introduction of bare-metal stents in the 1990s and drug-eluting stents in 2003. Since then, the rates of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have increased whereas the use of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has decreased. Although historically there have been disparities in the use of revascularization procedures in women, the elderly, and nonwhite patients, there is some evidence to suggest these gaps have narrowed in recent years. In any given clinical circumstance, there is ongoing debate as to whether PCI or CABG is the more appropriate revascularization method depending on coronary anatomy, ventricular function, and associated conditions. Also, trends in coronary revascularization are potentially influenced by emerging clinical evidence and new technologies, national guidelines and appropriateness criteria, procedure reimbursement, and changes in the population being treated. Accordingly, it is unclear whether the trend in increased use of PCI versus CABG will continue.

Abstract
CONTEXT Coronary revascularization is among the most common hospital-based major interventional procedures performed in the United States. It is uncertain how new revascularization technologies, new clinical evidence from trials, and updated clinical guidelines have influenced the volume and distribution of coronary revascularizations over the past decade. OBJECTIVE To examine national time trends in the rates and types of coronary revascularizations. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS A serial cross-sectional study with time trends of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) between 2001 and 2008 at US hospitals in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Inpatient Sample, which reports inpatient coronary revascularizations. These data were supplemented by Medicare outpatient hospital claims. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Annual procedure rates of coronary revascularizations, CABG surgery, and PCI. RESULTS A 15% decrease (P < .001) in the annual rate of coronary revascularizations was observed from 2001-2002 to 2007-2008. The annual CABG surgery rate decreased steadily from 1742 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1663-1825) CABG surgeries per million adults per year in 2001-2002 to 1081 (95% CI, 1032-1133) CABG surgeries per million adults per year in 2007-2008 (P < .001), but PCI rates did not significantly change (3827 [95% CI, 3578-4092] PCI per million adults per year in 2001-2002 vs 3667 [95% CI, 3429-3922] PCI per million adults per year in 2007-2008, P = .74). Between 2001 and 2008, the number of hospitals in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample providing CABG surgery increased by 12% (212 in 2001 vs 241 in 2008, P = .03), and the number of PCI hospitals increased by 26% (246 in 2001 vs 331 in 2008, P < .001). The median CABG surgery caseload per hospital decreased by 28% (median [interquartile range], 253 [161-458] in 2001 vs 183 [98-292] in 2008; P < .001) and the number of CABG surgery hospitals providing fewer than 100 CABG surgeries per year increased from 23 (11%) in 2001 to 62 (26%) in 2008 (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In US hospitals between 2001 and 2008, a substantial decrease in CABG surgery utilization rates was observed, but PCI utilization rates remained unchanged.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Review the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) to evaluate changes in use. BACKGROUND The DES were approved after several small studies in carefully selected patients showed dramatic reduction in in-stent restenosis. The DES were then rapidly adopted into routine practice. In 2006, 3 years after introduction, serious concerns regarding long-term safety were raised. METHODS We queried the American College of Cardiology/National Cardiovascular Data Registry (ACC/NCDR) CathPCI Registry. The percentage of DES used through mid-2009 was reviewed overall and in subgroups of patients categorized by lesion type, clinical factors, insurance, and hospital characteristics. Multivariable logistic models relating these covariates to DES usage were constructed for 3 relevant time intervals. RESULTS A total of 2,247,647 coronary stent procedures were analyzed. By 2005 over 90% of first stents placed were DES. Safety concerns arising in 2006 reduced DES use to 64% of first stent placed. After publication of salutary outcomes data in 2008, usage increased to 76% by mid-2009. The logistic models demonstrated decreased likelihood of DES usage in patients with: 1) ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions; and 2) no medical insurance. The DES usage increased for in-stent restenosis. Hospital characteristics were not associated with significant differences in DES usage. CONCLUSIONS There was rapid adoption of DES into U.S. clinical practice. Concern for late stent thrombosis in 2006 significantly altered DES use with reductions seen in subgroups at risk for thrombosis and patients with no insurance. These rapid cyclic changes after DES introduction reinforce the need for continuous, timely reporting of outcomes data after the introduction of new technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) dramatically changed the practice of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the 2000s. Little is known about trends in in-hospital outcome after PCI in the DES era. HYPOTHESIS The in-hospital outcomes after PCI might be continuously improved over time. METHODS We analyzed in-hospital outcomes of 21,667 patients who underwent PCI at Fu Wai Hospital in the past 5 years. The patients were divided into 5 groups according to the time of their intervention: group 1 (June 2004 to May 2005), group 2 (June 2005 to May 2006), group 3 (June 2006 to May 2007), group 4 (June 2007 to May 2008), and group 5 (June 2008 to May 2009). RESULTS Procedural success rates for the 5 groups were 93.6%, 95%, 94.4%, 94.2%, and 94.3%, respectively (P = 0.39). Significant reduction in in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (3.1%, 3.4%, 2.8%, 1.6%, and 1.0%, P < 0.001) and need for target-vessel revascularization (2.0%, 2.2%, 1.5%, 0.4%, and 0.2%, P < 0.001) was noted over time, which was associated with a significant increase in use of DES (from 56.6% to 97.0%, P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, use of DES, dissection during procedure, left main lesion, prior myocardial infarction, and age > or = 65 years were independent predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events. CONCLUSIONS There were substantial reductions in in-hospital major adverse cardiac events and target-vessel revascularization over the past 5 years. This reduction was associated with the concurrent increased use of DES.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in 2003 has had a great impact on the management of coronary artery disease in the United States. The application of DES to older adults, the population with the highest prevalence of and worst prognosis for coronary artery disease, remains relatively more controversial. Dual-antiplatelet therapy, which is recommended for at least 12 months after DES placement, is particularly problematic for older patients because of greater age-related bleeding risks. Unfortunately, few current data are available to gauge the balance of risk and benefit in elderly community-dwelling DES patients. Although trial data show a benefit for DES among elderly patients, many older adults typically are excluded from randomized trials because of comorbidities, making generalizability of DES safety based on trial data less certain. New, more potent thienopyridines may place the elderly at a particularly elevated bleeding risk. There is a fine balance between efficacy and safety for older DES patients that still needs to be clarified. As the population ages, these issues become more pervasive and of widespread concern. This review summarizes the current literature on DES therapy in the elderly, with a focus on effectiveness and safety profiles of DES versus bare metal stents.

Abstract
This paper presents a fully wireless cardiac pressure sensing system. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medical stents are explored as radiating structures to support simultaneous transcutaneous wireless telemetry and powering. An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), designed and fabricated using the Texas Instruments 130-nm CMOS process, enables wireless telemetry, remote powering, voltage regulation, and processing of pressure measurements from a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitive sensor. This paper demonstrates fully wireless-pressure-sensing functionality with an external 35-dB.m RF powering source across a distance of 10 cm. Measurements in a regulated pressure chamber demonstrate the ability of the cardiac system to achieve pressure resolutions of 0.5 mmHg over a range of 0-50 mmHg using a channel data-rate of 42.2 kb/s.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The effectiveness of coronary drug-eluting stents has not been fully studied in very elderly patients who have clinical features that predispose them to side effects and long-term adverse events. METHODS The safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents were studied in a historical cohort of consecutive octogenarian patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. RESULTS Between 2002 and 2006, 176 octogenarian patients were treated using coronary stents: 90 with drug-eluting stents and 86 with bare-metal stents only. Patients treated using drug-eluting stents had a greater number of diseased vessels (2.28+/-0.85 vs. 1.87+/-0.87; P=.002), had more vessels treated (1.74+/-0.79 vs. 1.17+/-0.47; P< .0005), were more likely to have multivessel disease (79% vs. 59%; P=.005) and to undergo left main coronary artery treatment (20% vs. 1.0%; P< .0005), and had longer (26.6+/-6.7 mm vs. 16.6+/-4.9 mm; P< .0005) and smaller diameter (2.91+/-0.4 mm vs. 3.04+/-0.4 mm; P=.049) lesions. The median follow-up period was 26.3+/-12.9 months (in 98.3% of patients). After adjustment for other variables and for the likelihood of receiving a drug-eluting stent (i.e., the propensity score), there was no significant relationship between the type of coronary stent used and either mortality or the occurrence of adverse clinical events at 1 year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS With careful clinical selection of patients, the use of drug-eluting stents in octogenarians with highly unfavorable angiographic characteristics can be as safe and effective as conventional stents for treating low-risk coronary lesions.

Abstract
AIMS With advancement in technology, the number of percutaneous coronary interventions performed are rising. The goal of this study was to evaluate nationwide trend over a long period of time in the utilisation of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a large database. METHODS AND RESULTS The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was utilised to calculate the age-adjusted rate for PCI from 1988 to 2004. Specific ICD-9-CM codes for all PCIs were used to compile the data. The NIS database contained 1,747,736 patients who had PCI performed from 1988 to 2004. The mean age for these patients was 63.75+/-11.07 years old. From 1988, the age-adjusted rate for all PCI gradually increased to more than three times until 2001 (80.3 per 100,000 [95%CI=71.86-88.92] in 1988 and 244 per 100,000 [95%CI=221.31-266.39, p<0.01] in 2001), but remained relatively unchanged (slight decline in the last few years of the study) until the end of the study (232.17 per 100,000 95%CI=211.69-252.66) in 2004. These trends were similar across ethnicity, gender and comorbid conditions. CONCLUSIONS The utilisation of PCI has dramatically increased from 1988 to 2001, but remained steady thereafter. The availability of drug eluting stents in the USA after 2001 may have contributed to this trend.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although insertion of multiple stents into a single coronary vessel during single-vessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is common, there are no data on long-term occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients treated with multiple stents versus a single stent. METHODS The incidence of MACE (death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization) during long-term follow-up was investigated in 634 patients who underwent single-vessel PCI. Of the 634 patients, 319 (50%) had a single stent, and 315 (50%) had multiple stents inserted. Stepwise Cox regression analyses were performed to identify significant independent prognostic factors for MACE. RESULTS At 47-month follow-up, MACE occurred in 61 of 319 patients (19%) who had a single stent versus in 57 of 315 patients (18%) who had multiple stents (P not significant). Significant independent predictors of MACE were use of vein grafts (hazard ratio = 1.94; 95% CI, 1.24-3.03; P = 0.0038) and use of drug-eluting stents (hazard ratio = 0.49; 95% CI, 0.34-0.72; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS At long-term follow-up of single-vessel PCI, the incidence of MACE was similar in patients with multiple or single stents inserted even after controlling for the length of stents.

Abstract
Inactivating mutations of the tumor suppressor gene TSC2 are associated with tumorigenesis in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Statins, as 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitors, have the potential to limit the growth of these tumors by limiting the isoprenylation of activated GTPases in Tsc2-null cells. We tested atorvastatin as a therapy for (a) ethylnitrosourea (ENU)-enhanced renal cystadenoma and (b) spontaneous liver hemangioma in 129Sv/Jae Tsc2(+/-) mice. ENU-treated Tsc2(+/-) mice were given atorvastatin chow (0.1%, w/w) for 1 or 3 months before sacrifice at 6 months; 129Sv/Jae Tsc2(+/-) mice were given atorvastatin chow (0.1%, w/w) for 6 months before sacrifice at 12 months. All treatment groups were compared with mice of identical genotype and strain background that were fed control chow. Pathologic analyses revealed a predominance of renal cystadenoma in ENU-treated and liver hemangioma in non-ENU-treated 129Sv/Jae Tsc2(+/-) mice. In both cohorts, serum cholesterol levels and levels of phosphorylated S6 and GTP-RhoA in healthy tissue were significantly (>50%) reduced in atorvastatin-treated mice as compared with controls. Following atorvastatin treatment, no significant reduction in tumor size, morphology, or phosphorylated S6 levels was observed for either ENU-associated renal cystadenoma or spontaneous liver hemangioma as compared with the untreated groups. In conclusion, although the marked reduction in cholesterol levels indicates that atorvastatin was effective as an 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitor, it did not inhibit the growth of tumors that develop in these Tsc2(+/-) models, suggesting that it is unlikely to have benefit as a single-agent therapy for TSC-associated tumors.
