The uric acid/albumin ratio might be a better indicator for predicting repeat revascularization in young patients with acute coronary syndrome: Beyond inflammatory biomarkers. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0306178. [PMID: 39186751 PMCID: PMC11346921 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0306178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advancements in percutaneous and surgical revascularization techniques, nearly 20% of patients who undergo myocardial revascularization need repeat revascularization. Recently, identified as a prognostication factor for adverse cardiovascular events, the uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR) serves as a new marker for assessing inflammation and oxidative stress. Our objective was to investigate the association between UAR levels and repeat revascularization in young patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS We enrolled 371 patients with ACS who were under the age of 55 years and who had previously undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Due to their recurrent symptoms, these patients underwent subsequent coronary angiographic examination. The study cohort was splitted into two groups based on whether repeat revascularization was needed. RESULTS The study and control groups consisted of 99 and 272 patients, respectively. The mean age of the patients in the study cohort was 41.99±4.99 years. Patients who needed repeat revascularization, in comparison to those who did not, exhibited significantly greater levels of the UAR and uric acid, along with lower levels of neutrophils, stent diameter and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Additionally, they had more complex disease, as described by the SYNTAX score. To identify the influential factors associated with repeat revascularization, multivariate logistic regression was performed. SYNTAX score, stent diameter, uric acid levels and the UAR were predictive of the need for repeat revascularization. CONCLUSIONS UAR was found to be an inexpensive, easily accessible marker for identifying young patients with ACS requiring repeat revascularization.

Abstract
Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) combines a minimally invasive surgical approach with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease. Despite decades of use, widespread acceptance has been limited. In this review, we conduct a comparative assessment of HCR in relation to traditional coronary artery bypass graft surgery and multivessel PCI. Although large-scale randomized data are still lacking, numerous studies have demonstrated that HCR may offer benefits regarding resource utilization and short-term morbidity while delivering comparable mid- and long-term survival compared with traditional bypass surgery. Compared with PCI, HCR may offer similar periprocedural morbidity while mitigating the need for repeat revascularization by providing a surgical arterial bypass graft to the left anterior descending artery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ISAR-REACT 5 trial compared the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor and prasugrel in patients with ACS managed invasively. The present study sought to investigate the impact of ticagrelor and prasugrel on the incidence and pattern of urgent revascularization in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS This post-hoc analysis of the ISAR-REACT 5 trial included all ACS patients who underwent PCI. The primary endpoint for this analysis was the incidence of urgent revascularization at 12-month follow-up. Secondary outcome was the pattern of urgent revascularization procedures (namely, urgent target vessel/non-target vessel revascularization - TVR/NTVR). Among 3,377 ACS patients who underwent PCI, 1,676 were assigned to ticagrelor and 1,701 to prasugrel before PCI. After 12 months, the incidence of urgent revascularization was higher among patients assigned to ticagrelor as compared to prasugrel (6.8% vs. 5.2%; hazard ratio [HR] = 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.75; p = 0.051), mostly attributable to significantly more urgent NTVR in the ticagrelor group (3.8% vs. 2.4%; HR = 1.62 [1.09-2.41]; p = 0.017). The risk of urgent TVR did not differ between treatment groups (3.3% vs. 3.0%; HR = 1.13 [0.77-1.65]; p = 0.546). CONCLUSIONS In ACS patients treated with PCI, the cumulative rate of urgent revascularizations after 12 months is higher with ticagrelor compared to prasugrel, due to a significant increase in urgent revascularizations involving remote coronary vessels.

Complete Coronary Revascularization and Outcomes in Patients Who Underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Insights from The REGROUP Trial. Am J Cardiol 2024; 217:127-135.

Abstract
There is growing evidence in support of coronary complete revascularization (CR). Nonetheless, there is no universally accepted definition of CR in patients who undergo coronary bypass grafting surgery (CABG). We sought to investigate the outcomes of CR, defined as surgical revascularization of any territory supplied by a suitable coronary artery with ≥50% stenosis. We performed a preplanned subanalysis in the Randomized Trial of Endoscopic or Open Saphenous Vein Graft Harvesting (REGROUP) clinical trial cohort. Of 1,147 patients who underwent CABG, 810 (70.6%) received CR. The primary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including death from any cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization over a median 4.7 years of follow-up. MACE occurred in 175 patients (21.6%) in the CR group and 86 patients (25.5%) in the incomplete revascularization (IR) group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67 to 1.13, p = 0.29). A total of 97 patients (12.0%) in the CR group and 48 patients (14.2%) in the IR group died (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.32, p = 0.67); nonfatal myocardial infarction occurred in 49 patients (6.0%) in the CR group and 30 patients (8.9%) in the IR group (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.2, p = 0.24), and repeat revascularization occurred in 62 patients (7.7%) in the CR group and 39 patients (11.6%) in the IR group (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.42 to 0.95, p = 0.027). In conclusion, in patients with a great burden of co-morbidities who underwent CABG in the REGROUP trial over a median follow-up period of a median 4.7 years, CR was associated with similar MACE rates but a reduced risk of repeat revascularization. Longer-term follow-up is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although patients with high-risk plaque (HRP) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) are reportedly at increased risk for future cardiovascular events, individual HRP features have not been systematically validated against high-resolution intravascular imaging. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to correlate HRP features on CTA with plaque characteristics on optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Patients who underwent both CTA and OCT before coronary intervention were enrolled. Plaques in culprit vessels identified by CTA were evaluated with the use of OCT at the corresponding sites. HRP was defined as a plaque with at least 2 of the following 4 features: positive remodeling (PR), low-attenuation plaque (LAP), napkin-ring sign (NRS), and spotty calcification (SC). Patients were followed for up to 3 years. RESULTS The study included 448 patients, with a median age of 67 years and of whom 357 (79.7%) were male, and 203 (45.3%) presented with acute coronary syndromes. A total of 1,075 lesions were analyzed. All 4 HRP features were associated with thin-cap fibroatheroma. PR was associated with all OCT features of plaque vulnerability, LAP was associated with lipid-rich plaque, macrophage, and cholesterol crystals, NRS was associated with cholesterol crystals, and SC was associated with microvessels. The cumulative incidence of the composite endpoint (target vessel nontarget lesion revascularization and cardiac death) was significantly higher in patients with HRP than in those without HRP (4.7% vs 0.5%; P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS All 4 HRP features on CTA were associated with features of vulnerability on OCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The frequency of and relationship between hospital readmissions and outcomes after revascularization for left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) are unknown. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to study the incidence, predictors, and clinical impact of readmissions following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for LMCAD. METHODS In the EXCEL (XIENCE Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for Effectiveness of Left Main Revascularization) trial, 1,905 patients with LMCAD were randomized to PCI vs CABG. The cumulative incidence of readmissions was analyzed with multivariable Anderson-Gill and joint frailty models to account for recurrent events and the competing risk of death. The impact of readmission on subsequent mortality within 5-year follow-up was determined in a time-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Within 5 years, 1,868 readmissions occurred in 851 of 1,882 (45.2%) hospital survivors (2.2 ± 1.9 per patient with readmission[s], range 1-16), approximately one-half for cardiovascular causes and one-half for noncardiovascular causes (927 [49.6%] and 941 [50.4%], respectively). One or more readmissions occurred in 463 of 942 (48.6%) PCI patients vs 388 of 940 (41.8%) CABG patients (P = 0.003). After multivariable adjustment, PCI remained an independent predictor of readmission (adjusted HR: 1.22; 95% CI: 1.10-1.35; P < 0.0001), along with female sex, comorbidities, and the extent of CAD. Readmission was independently associated with subsequent all-cause death, with interaction testing indicating a higher risk after PCI than CABG (adjusted HR: 5.72; 95% CI: 3.42-9.55 vs adjusted HR: 2.72; 95% CI: 1.64-4.88, respectively; Pint = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS In the EXCEL trial, readmissions during 5-year follow-up after revascularization for LMCAD were common and more frequent after PCI than CABG. Readmissions were associated with an increased risk of all-cause death, more so after PCI than with CABG.

Clinically Driven Revascularization in High-Risk Patients Treated With Ticagrelor Monotherapy After PCI: Insights from the Randomized TWILIGHT Trial. Am J Cardiol 2023; 208:16-24.

Abstract
Repeat coronary revascularization is a common adverse event after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. This analysis aimed to assess the effects of ticagrelor monotherapy on repeat clinically driven revascularization (CDR). In the TWILIGHT (Ticagrelor With Aspirin or Alone in High-Risk Patients after Coronary Intervention) trial, after 3 months of ticagrelor plus aspirin, high-risk patients were maintained on ticagrelor and randomly allocated to aspirin or placebo for 1 year. The primary end point of this analysis was CDR within 12 months after randomization. The key secondary end points were major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or CDR, and net adverse clinical events (NACEs), including the individual components of MACCEs and clinically relevant bleeding. The analysis was performed in the per-protocol population. CDR occurred in 473 of 7,039 patients and was associated with a significantly higher risk of subsequent all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (adjusted hazard ratios [HRs] 2.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.82 to 4.67). Ticagrelor monotherapy was associated with a similar 12-month risk of CDR (7.1% vs 6.6%; HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.30, p = 0.363) and MACCEs (8.9% vs 8.6%; HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.89 to 1.22, p = 0.619), and a lower risk of NACEs (12.2% vs 14.6%; HR 0.83 95% CI 0.73 to 0.94, p = 0.004) than ticagrelor plus aspirin. In conclusion, among high-risk patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, ticagrelor monotherapy after 3 months of ticagrelor-based dual antiplatelet therapy was associated with a similar risk of CDR and MACCEs and a decrease of NACEs (TWILIGHT: NCT02270242).

Prognostic value of triglyceride-glucose index in patients with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:322. [PMID: 38017540 PMCID: PMC10685592 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02060-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Several recent studies have shown the relationship between the TyG index and cardiovascular outcomes; however, the role of the TyG index in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) progression has not been extensively assessed especially in population after revascularization. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the TyG index in predicting MACEs in CCS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS The data for the study were taken from the Hospital Information System database in China-Japan Friendship Hospital over the period 2019-2021. Eligible participants were divided into groups according to the TyG index tertiles. The Boruta algorithm was performed for feature selection. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were applied to examine the dose-response relationship between the TyG index and endpoint, and the results were expressed with hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) values. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC) were plotted to comprehensively evaluate the predictive accuracy and clinical value of the model. The goodness-of-fit of models was evaluated using the calibration curve and χ2 likelihood ratio test. RESULTS After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1353 patients with CCS undergoing PCI were enrolled in the study. After adjusting for all confounders, we found that those with the highest TyG index had a 59.5% increased risk of MACEs over the 1-year follow-up (HR 1.595, 95% CI 1.370 ~ 1.855). Using the lowest TyG index tertile as the reference (T1), the fully adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for endpoints was 1.343 (1.054 ~ 1.711) in the middle (T2) and 2.297 (1.842 ~ 2.864) in highest tertile (T3) (P for trend < 0.001). The TyG index had an excellent predictive performance according to the results of AUC 0.810 (0.786, 0.834) and χ2 likelihood ratio test (χ2 = 7.474, P = 0.486). DCA and CIC analysis also suggested a good overall net benefit and clinical impact of the multivariate model. The results in the subgroup analysis were consistent with the main analyses. RCS model demonstrated that the TyG index was nonlinearly associated with the risk of MACEs within one year (P for nonlinear < 0.001). CONCLUSION The elevated TyG index is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and predicts future MACEs in patients with CCS undergoing PCI independently of known cardiovascular risk factors, indicating that the TyG index may be a potential marker for risk stratification and prognosis in CCS patients undergoing PCI.

Lancet 2023; 402:1979-1990. [PMID: 37898137 DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(23)02197-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents improve early stent-related clinical outcomes compared to durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The long-term advantages of biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents after complete degradation of its polymer coating in patients with STEMI remains however uncertain. METHODS BIOSTEMI Extended Survival (BIOSTEMI ES) was an investigator-initiated, follow-up extension study of the BIOSTEMI prospective, multicentre, single-blind, randomised superiority trial that compared biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents with durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents in patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention at ten hospitals in Switzerland. All individuals who had provided written informed consent for participation in the BIOSTEMI trial were eligible for this follow-up study. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial re-infarction, or clinically indicated target lesion revascularisation, at 5 years. Superiority of biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents over durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents was declared if the Bayesian posterior probability for a rate ratio (RR) of less than 1 was greater than 0·975. Analyses were performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05484310. FINDINGS Between April 26, 2016, and March 9, 2018, 1300 patients with STEMI (1622 lesions) were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to treatment with biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents (649 patients, 816 lesions) or durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents (651 patients, 806 lesions). At 5 years, the primary composite endpoint of target lesion failure occurred in 50 (8%) patients treated with biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents and in 72 (11%) patients treated with durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents (difference of -3%; RR 0·70, 95% Bayesian credible interval 0·51-0·95; Bayesian posterior probability for superiority 0·988). INTERPRETATION In patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI, biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents were superior to durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents with respect to target lesion failure at 5 years of follow-up. The difference was driven by a numerically lower risk for ischaemia-driven target lesion revascularisation. FUNDING Biotronik.

Abstract
Background: HDL-C-related inflammatory indices are potential predictors of repeat revascularization (RR) after coronary drug-eluting stenting. Methods: Multivariable Cox regression with restricted cubic splines and receiver operating curve was used. Results: The median follow-up was 50 months. A total of 521 (35.42%) patients experienced RR. The incidence of RR was positively associated with the monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio, neutrophil-to-HDL-C ratio and lymphocyte-to-HDL-C ratio (log-rank p < 0.05). After being fully adjusted, the largest tertile of monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio, neutrophil-to-HDL-C ratio, white blood cell-to-HDL-C ratio and lymphocyte-to-HDL-C ratio increased the risk by 38, 30, 28 and 37%, respectively. Monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was dose-responsive and linearly correlated with RR. HDL-C-related inflammatory indices had over 60% predictive ability. Conclusion: HDL-C-related inflammatory indices independently predicted RR after coronary drug-eluting stenting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The SYNTAX trial demonstrated negative impact of repeat revascularization (RR) on 5-year outcomes following PCI/CABG in patients with three-vessel(3VD) and/or left main coronary artery disease(LMCAD). We aimed to investigate the impact of RR within 5 years, on 10-year mortality in patients with 3VD and/or LMCAD after PCI/CABG. METHODS The SYNTAXES study evaluated the vital status out to 10 years of patients with 3VD and/or LMCAD. Patients were stratified by RR within 5 years and randomized treatment. The association between RR within 5 years and 10-year mortality was assessed. RESULTS A total of 330 out of 1800 patients (18.3%) underwent RR within 5 years. RR occurred more frequently after initial PCI than after initial CABG (25.9% vs. 13.7%, p < 0.001). Overall, 10-year mortality was comparable between patients undergoing RR and those not (28.2% vs. 26.1%, adjusted HR: 1.17, 95%CI 0.93-1.48, p = 0.187). In the PCI arm, RR was associated with a trend toward higher 10-year mortality (adjusted HR: 1.29, 95%CI 0.97-1.72, p = 0.075), while in the CABG arm, the trend was opposite (adjusted HR: 0.74, 95%CI 0.46-1.20, p = 0.219). Among patients requiring RR, those who underwent PCI as initial revascularization had a higher risk of 10-year mortality compared to initial CABG (33.5% vs. 17.6%, adjusted HR: 2.09, 95%CI 1.21-3.61, p = 0.008). CONCLUSION In the SYNTAXES study, RR within 5 years had no impact on 10-year all-cause death in the population overall. Among patients requiring any repeat procedures, 10-year mortality was higher after initial treatment with PCI than after CABG. These exploratory findings should be investigated with larger populations in future studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov ; SYNTAXES Unique identifier: NCT03417050.

Abstract
It has been consistently demonstrated that circulating lipids and particularly low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) play a significant role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Several trials have been focused on the reduction of LDL-C values in order to interfere with atherothrombotic progression. Importantly, for patients who experience acute coronary syndrome (ACS), there is a 20% likelihood of cardiovascular (CV) event recurrence within the two years following the index event. Moreover, the mortality within five years remains considerable, ranging between 19 and 22%. According to the latest guidelines, one of the main goals to achieve in ACS is an early improvement of the lipid profile. The evidence-based lipid pharmacological strategy after ACS has recently been enhanced. Although novel lipid-lowering drugs have different targets, the result is always the overexpression of LDL receptors (LDL-R), increased uptake of LDL-C, and lower LDL-C plasmatic levels. Statins, ezetimibe, and PCSK9 inhibitors have been shown to be safe and effective in the post-ACS setting, providing a consistent decrease in ischemic event recurrence. However, these drugs remain largely underprescribed, and the consistent discrepancy between real-world data and guideline recommendations in terms of achieved LDL-C levels represents a leading issue in secondary prevention. Although the cost-effectiveness of these new therapeutic advancements has been clearly demonstrated, many concerns about the cost of some newer agents continue to limit their use, affecting the outcome of patients who experienced ACS. In spite of the fact that according to the current recommendations, a stepwise lipid-lowering approach should be adopted, several more recent data suggest a "strike early and strike strong" strategy, based on the immediate use of statins and, eventually, a dual lipid-lowering therapy, reducing as much as possible the changes in lipid-lowering drugs after ACS. This review aims to discuss the possible lipid-lowering strategies in post-ACS and to identify those patients who might benefit most from more powerful treatments and up-to-date management.

[PMID: 36864455 PMCID: PMC9983161 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01779-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a reliable surrogate indicator of insulin resistance, is independently associated with coronary artery disease of various clinical manifestations. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the TyG index in predicting repeat revascularization and in-stent restenosis (ISR) in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 1414 participants were enrolled and divided into groups according to the tertiles of the TyG index. The primary endpoint was a composite of PCI complications, including repeat revascularization and ISR. The associations between the TyG index and the primary endpoint were assessed by multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis with restricted cubic splines (RCS). The TyG index was calculated as Ln (fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2). RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 60 months, 548 (38.76%) patients had experienced at least one primary endpoint event. The follow-up incidence of the primary endpoint increased with the TyG index tertiles. After adjusting for potential confounders, the TyG index was independently associated with the primary endpoint in CCS patients (HR, 1.191; 95% CI 1.038-1.367; P = 0.013). Additionally, the highest tertile of the TyG group was correlated with a 1.319-fold risk of the primary endpoint compared with the lowest tertile of the TyG group (HR, 1.319; 95% CI 1.063-1.637; P = 0.012). Furthermore, a linear and dose-response relationship was observed between the TyG index and the primary endpoint (non-linear P = 0.373, P overall = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS An increased TyG index was associated with elevated risk for long-term PCI complications, including repeat revascularization and ISR. Our study suggested that the TyG index could be a potent predictor in evaluating the prognosis of CCS patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Owing to a large-jeopardized myocardium, left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) represents the substantial high-risk anatomical subset of obstructive coronary artery disease. For several decades, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been the "gold standard" treatment for LMCAD. Along with advances in CABG, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has also dramatically evolved over time in conjunction with advances in the stent or device technology, adjunct pharmacotherapy, accumulated experiences, and practice changes, establishing its position as a safe, reasonable treatment option for such a complex disease. Until recently, several randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses, and observational registries comparing PCI and CABG for LMCAD have shown comparable long-term survival with tradeoffs between early and late risk-benefit of each treatment. Despite this, there are still several unmet issues for revascularization strategy and management for LMCAD. This review article summarized updated knowledge on evolution and clinical evidence on the treatment of LMCAD, with a focus on the comparison of state-of-the-art PCI with CABG.

Abstract
PURPOSE Survivors of coronary artery disease (CAD) events are at risk for repeat events. Although evidence supports cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after an initial CAD event, it is unclear whether a repeat course of CR (CR × 2) is beneficial after a recurrent CAD event. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of CR × 2 with clinical outcomes in persons undergoing repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We assessed the prevalence of CR × 2 and its impact on cardiovascular outcomes in individuals who experienced a repeat PCI at the Mayo Clinic hospitals between January 1, 1998, and December 31, 2013. Landmark analyses were used to calculate unadjusted and propensity score adjusted mortality rates and cardiovascular (CV) events rates for patients who underwent CR × 2 compared with those who did not. RESULTS Among 240 individuals who had a repeat PCI and who had participated in CR after their first PCI, 97 (40%) participated in CR × 2. Outcomes were assessed for a mean follow-up time of 7.8 yr (IQR 7.1-9.0 yr). Propensity score-based inverse probability weighting analysis revealed that CR × 2 was associated with significantly lower target lesion revascularization (HR = 0.47: 95% CI, 0.26-0.86; P = .014), lower combined end point of CV death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization (HR = 0.57: 95% CI, 0.36-0.89; P = .014), and lower CV hospitalization (HR = 0.60; 95% CI, 0.43-0.84; P = .003). CONCLUSION A second course of CR following repeat PCI is associated with a lower risk of adverse clinical outcomes. These findings support current policies that allow for repeat courses of CR following recurrent CV events.

Percutaneous coronary intervention versus repeat surgical revascularization in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting: A systematic review and meta-analysis. JTCVS OPEN 2022; 12:177-191. [PMID: 36590724 PMCID: PMC9801338 DOI: 10.1016/j.xjon.2022.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Objectives Repeat coronary artery bypass grafting (RCABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are both used for the treatment of symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease and prior CABG, but the optimal treatment strategy remains unknown. We sought to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare operative and follow-up outcomes following RCABG versus PCI in patients with prior CABG. Methods Medline and Embase were searched for studies comparing RCABG versus PCI. The primary outcome was follow-up mortality, and secondary outcomes were follow-up repeat revascularization, operative mortality, periprocedural stroke, and myocardial infarction. Time-to-event outcomes were summarized as incidence rate ratios, whereas operative outcomes were summarized as odds ratios. A random effect meta-analysis was performed. Individual patient survival data was extracted from available survival curves and reconstructed using restricted mean survival time. Results Among 2982 articles, 7 studies (9945 patients) were included. In the aggregated data meta-analysis, there was no difference in follow-up survival between RCABG and PCI (incidence rate ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.83-1.25); however, restricted mean survival time analysis of individual data showed a survival benefit for RCABG over PCI (0.7 years; 95% CI, 0.23-1.19 years; P = .004). PCI was found to have a higher incidence rate of follow-up need for repeat revascularization (incidence rate ratio, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.16-2.23), but lower odds for operative mortality and stroke. No difference in the odds for myocardial infarction was found. Conclusions In patients with prior CABG, PCI is associated with better operative outcomes, but RCABG is associated with better survival and freedom from repeat revascularization at follow-up.

Abstract
Objective To determine factors associated with repeat revascularization among adults aged 25 years and above within 5 years of first Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) at a tertiary care hospital. Methods A matched case-control study was conducted through a hospital records review. A total of 90 cases with repeat revascularization and 180 controls without repeat revascularization were included. Data was analyzed using Multiple Conditional Logistic Regression. Results The mean age was similar in cases and controls (60.05 ± 10.01 vs 62.20 ± 10.43 years) and sex (male: 77.8% vs. 76.1%). History of being an ever-smoker (40% vs. 25%), overweight (36.3% vs. 30.6%), and poor glycemic control (23.3% vs. 12.2%) were more among the cases than controls. However, obesity (53.7% vs. 44.3%) and pre-diabetes (16.1% vs. 7.8%) were more in controls compared to cases. Upon matching on the time of index PCI, the adjusted odds of ever smokers among patients with repeat revascularization was 2.47 times the odds of ever smokers among patients who did not undergo revascularization. Increasing stent diameter by 1 mm was found to reduce the risk of repeat revascularization by 51%. Conclusions Smoking cessation and appropriate selection of stent diameter in patients undergoing revascularization can reduce the risk of repeat revascularization in the future. Study assessed determinants of repeat revascularization after initial PCI from a large tertiary care hospital in Karachi. Ever smokers undergoing index PCI have 2.47 times increased risk of repeat revascularization. 1 mm increase in stent diameter reduces 51% risk of repeat revascularization. Association between smoking and repeat revascularization may be a severe problem than estimated due to the reporting bias. More effective and well-tolerated strategies are needed for smoking cessation and sustain abstinence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass (CABG) is an important revascularization procedure with excellent long-term results. However, bypass grafts, particularly venous grafts, develop structural changes and atherosclerotic plaques that may cause angina or even acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Here we aimed to study patients with previous CABG presenting with an ACS and evaluated their cardiovascular (CV) risk profile, clinical presentations, angiographic findings, management strategies and short and long term outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This represents an observational retrospective cross sectional single center study including all consecutive patients with previous CABG presenting with ACS at the University Heart Center of the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016. Mean age was 76.4 years and 83.1% were males. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 1-year follow up and long-term follow up were analyzed using Kaplan Meyer survival analysis. RESULTS We included 510 patients with ACS and prior CABG. Most patients were elderly at the time of presentation. 60.2% were diabetics and 58.6% obese, 43.5% hypertensives and 37.8% had hyperlipidemia. 73% (n=372) presented as unstable angina (UA), 22.5% as NSTEMI (n=115) and only 4.5% as STEMI (n=23). The acute events occurred in 4.9% (n=25) before discharge, in 4.9% (n=25) within the first year and in 90.2% (n=460) thereafter. Most of the patients (92.2%; n=470) had stenosed or occluded venous bypass grafts at presentation, while a minority (7.8%; n=40) had significantly narrowed or occluded arterial grafts. CV risk profiles were similar in both groups. However, arterial graft disease occurred earlier after CABG and more likely presented as NSTEMI rather than UA compared to the SVG group. In 54.7% (n=279) primary PCI of the saphenous graft, and in 13.5% (n=69) of the native coronary arteries was performed, while 6.5% (n=33) underwent redo CABG and 25.3% (n=129) received medical treatment only. MACE at 1 year occurred in 12.2% (n=62) with repeated revascularization as the most common event (7.2%; n=37) followed by cardiac death (2.4%; n=12), MI (1.2%; n=6), cerebrovascular infarction (1.2%; n=6) and major bleeding (0.2%; n=1). Hypertensive and obese patients, those with myocardial infarction or an ACS before discharge or during the first year after CABG had higher MACCE. In patients undergoing pPCI the rate of cardiac death and MI at 1 year was lower with an intervention in the native coronary arteries and with redo CABG compared to pPCI of bypass grafts. CONCLUSION Thus, patients with ACS and prior CABG typically present as UA and much less frequently as NSTEMI-ACS and particularly STEMI. Most events occur after one year, particularly with SVG. The 1 year MACCE rate is comparable to those with native coronary artery ACS. Hypertensive and obese patients, those with MI or with an ACS before discharge had higher MACCE rates.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of SYNTAX scores I, II, and residual with cardiovascular outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compare both procedures in a long-term follow-up. Methods This is a retrospective single-center study from the MASS registry at the Heart Institute of the University of São Paulo, Brazil in which 969 patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing CABG (559) or PCI (410) were included. We assessed the SYNTAX scores I, II and residual in both interventions. Clinical endpoints were the first occurrence of a composite of overall death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or repeat revascularization (MACCE) and the total occurrence of each component of MACCE. Results In the CABG sample, SSI had a median of 23 (IQR 17–29.5), median SSII of 25.4 (IQR 19.2–32.8), and median rSS of 2 (IQR 0–6.5); in PCI SSI had a median of 14 (IQR 10–19.1), median SSII of 28.7 (IQR 23–34.2), and median rSS of 4.7 (IQR 0–9). Total of 174 events were documented and CABG patients had a lower rate of MACCE (15.6% vs. 21.2%; adjusted HR 1.98; 95% CI 1.13–3.47; P = 0.016) and repeat revascularization (3.8% vs. 11.5%; adjusted HR 4.35; CI 95% 1.74–10.85; P = 0.002) compared with PCI. No SYNTAX score tertile found a difference in death rate between procedures. In a multivariate analysis, the rSS was an independent predictor for MACCE (HR 1.04; 95% CI 1.01–1.06; P = 0.001). Regarding death, the only independent predictors were ejection fraction and renal function. Conclusion Surgical revascularization resulted in a more complete revascularization and lower rates of major cardiac or cerebrovascular events in a long-term follow-up. Also, grading the incompleteness of revascularization through the residual SYNTAX score identified a higher event rate, suggesting that complete revascularization is associated with a better prognosis.

Abstract
The preoperative evaluation of candidates to non-cardiac surgery requires a knowledge of factors related both to the type of surgery and to the risk of each patient, in order to predict the potential cardiovascular complications. Over the past several decades, the field of preoperative cardiac evaluation before non-cardiac surgery has evolved substantially on the basis of the current guidelines of international medical societies. The aim of this paper is to summarize available evidence on the risk of non-cardiac surgery, focusing on appropriate cardiovascular assessment prior to surgery.

Abstract
This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate whether income affects long-term health outcomes for older patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) provided by a universal health coverage system. Data were from the Latter Stage Elderly Healthcare Insurance database in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. A total of 5625 individuals aged ≥65 years who underwent PCI in 2014-2016 were included. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between income status and the incidence of health outcomes. With a median follow-up of 1095 days, 554 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases, 1075 stroke cases, 1690 repeat revascularization cases, and 1094 deaths were observed. Risk of all-cause mortality decreased significantly with increasing income level in both unadjusted and adjusted Cox regression models. Patients in the low-income level had a significantly higher rate of AMI (log-rank P = 0.003), stroke (log-rank P = 0.039), and all-cause mortality (log-rank P = 0.001) compared with patients in the high-income level. Observed rates for repeat revascularization also were high in the first year after PCI. In the Japanese universal health setting, low-income patients had a comparatively higher mortality risk after PCI. Poor long-term outcomes might be attributed to patients' baseline characteristics rather than treatment processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with improved clinical outcomes compared with angiography guidance alone. However, concern regarding the cost-effectiveness of IVUS has limited use of this technology worldwide. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of IVUS-guided PCI compared with angiography-guided PCI in patients undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation. METHODS A decision-analytic Markov model was constructed to compare the cost-effectiveness of IVUS to angiography guidance from the Australian healthcare system perspective. Procedure-related morbidity and mortality were estimated from the literature. Costs were obtained from Australian sources. The population of interest was all-comers undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stent. Outcomes of interest included costs, life-expectancy, and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for both treatment groups. RESULTS In the base case, IVUS guidance was cost-effective compared with angiography guidance alone. With 5% annual discounting, IVUS was associated with increased lifetime costs of Australian dollars (AUD) $823 (USD $597) per person and benefits of 0.04 life years and 0.05 QALYs compared with angiography, yielding an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of AUD $17 539 (USD $12 730) per QALY gained. Results were robust to sensitivity analyses, with IVUS being cost-effective in 99% of 10 000 Monte Carlo iterations assuming a willingness-to-pay threshold of AUD $50 000 per QALY gained. In a worst-case scenario analysis, IVUS remained the cost-effective option, with an ICER of AUD $36 651 (USD $26 601) per QALY gained. Exploratory subgroup analysis revealed that cost-effectiveness may be greatest among patients with left main and complex coronary lesions. CONCLUSIONS Use of IVUS guidance during PCI is likely to be cost-effective compared with angiography guidance alone among patients undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both stent length and stent overlap are associated with worse outcomes in the percutaneous treatment of diffuse coronary artery disease (dCAD). However, evidence comparing these issues is scarce. We aimed to compare the results between the use of single very long stent (VLS) and ≥2 overlapping stents (OS) in the treatment of dCAD. METHODS Seven hundred twenty-four consecutive lesions were included: 275 treated with a single VLS (≥40 mm) and 449 with ≥2 OS. Procedural characteristics were assessed, and survival analysis was performed to compare the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization [TLR], or stent thrombosis) during a median follow-up of 31 months. RESULTS Procedures with VLS required less contrast volume (268 ± 122 vs 302 ± 113 cm3; P < .01), fluoroscopy time (16 ± 8 vs 21 ± 16 minutes; P < .01), and procedure duration (37 ± 18 vs 47 ± 27 minutes; P < .01) than the OS procedures. The VLS group showed lower incidence of MACE (4.4% vs 10.7%; P < .01), driven mainly by lower TLR rate (1.1% vs 4.7%; P < .01). The use of OS was an independent predictor of MACE. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the use of VLS for the treatment of dCAD was associated with better outcomes compared to OS.

Abstract
National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR)-based logistic regression model is available for clinicians to predict in-hospital all-cause mortality after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, this model has never been used to predict long-term all-cause mortality after PCI. Therefore, we sought to test the ability of the NCDR model to predict the short- and long-term risk of all-cause mortality in patients undergoing PCI. All patients undergoing PCI in the Mayo Clinic Health System were enrolled in the Mayo Clinic CathPCI registry. Patient-level demographic, clinical, and angiographic data from January 2006 to December 2017 were extracted from the registry. Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) were excluded. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated to assess the ability of the NCDR model to predict outcomes of interest (6-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year all-cause mortality) after PCI. A total of 17,356 unique patients were included for the final analysis after excluding 165 patients who underwent CABG surgery. The mean age was 66.9 ± 12.5 years, and 71% were men. The 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year all-cause mortality rates were 4.2% (n = 737), 5.8% (n = 1,005), 8.06% (n = 1,399), and 14.2% (n = 2,472), respectively. The AUCs of the NCDR model to predict 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year all-cause mortality were 0.84 (95% CI: 0.82-0.86), 0.82 (95% CI: 0.80-0.84), 0.80 (95% CI: 0.79-0.81), and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.77-0.79), respectively. The NCDR model was able to accurately predict both short- and long-term all-cause mortality after PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In most situations, many patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) are on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), which is also required after CABG. The adjustment of antiplatelet strategy remains controversial. In this study, we systematically review current guidelines, seeking consensus and controversies to facilitate clinical practice. METHODS AND RESULTS Guidelines are searched in PubMed, Embase, ECRI Guidelines Trust and websites of guidelines organizations and professional society. Guidelines with recommendations of DAPT for patients undergo CABG are included. Two reviewers appraised guidelines with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II). Relevant recommendations are extracted and summarized. A total of 14 guidelines meeting inclusion criteria are selected, with average AGREE II scores from 44% to 86%. Most guidelines score high in domains other than 'applicability'. Many guidelines are not detailed enough in reporting considerations behind recommendations. Current guidelines are consistent on the management of antiplatelet strategy before elective CABG and using DAPT after surgery for preventing graft vessel occlusion. Evidence is still lacking in urgent CABG and resumption of the previous DAPT after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Current guidelines on DAPT in CABG are generally satisfying. Suspending P2Y12 inhibitors while aspirin continued before elective CABG is recommended, as well as 12 months of DAPT following CABG. More evidence is needed to guide antiplatelet therapy in urgent CABG and to prove the benefits of resuming previous DAPT.

Abstract
Despite many improvements in its prevention and management, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Lipid management is an important part of secondary prevention after ACS, but many patients currently remain undertreated and do not attain guideline‐recommended levels of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction. This review details the current state of evidence on lipid management in patients presenting with ACS, provides directions for identification of patients who may benefit from early escalation of lipid‐lowering therapy, and discusses novel lipid‐lowering medication that is currently under investigation in clinical trials. Moreover, a treatment algorithm aimed at attaining guideline‐recommended low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels is proposed. Despite important advances in the initial treatment and secondary prevention of ACS, ≈20% of ACS survivors experience a subsequent ischemic cardiovascular event within 24 months, and 5‐year mortality ranges from 19% to 22%. Knowledge of the current state of evidence‐based lipid management after ACS is of paramount importance to improve outcomes after ACS.

Abstract
Objective To conduct a large-scale, single-centre retrospective cohort study to understand the impact of prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on long-term survival of patients who then undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Methods Between 1999 and 2017, a total of 11 332 patients underwent CABG at a hospital in the UK. The patients were stratified into those who received PCI (n=1090) or no PCI (n=10 242) prior to CABG. A total of 1058 patients from each group were matched using propensity score matching. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to assess risk-adjusted survival in patients with prior PCI. Cox proportional hazards (CoxPH) model was then used to assess the effect of prior PCI and other variables in patients undergoing CABG. Results The immediate postoperative outcome showed no difference in number of grafts per patients, blood transfusion, hospital stay or 30 days mortality between the groups. There was no significant difference in 5 years (90.8% vs 87.9), 10-year (76.5% vs 74.6%) and 15-year (64.4% vs 64.7%) survival between the non-PCI versus PCI groups. The Cox proportional hazards model further supports the null hypothesis as the PCI variable was found to be non-significant (CoxPH=1.03, p=0.75, CI=0.87–1.22) implying there was no difference in hazard of death for CABG patients with or without previous PCI. However, the model did yield information on the covariates that do affect the hazard of death. Conclusion There is no difference in 5-year, 10-year and 15-year survival between patients undergoing CABG with or without prior PCI. However, certain patient, preoperative and intraoperative risk factors were identified with high hazard of death which needs to be investigated further.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a paucity of comparative data examining the optimal revascularization strategy in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVD). METHODS We performed an aggregate data meta-analysis of clinical outcomes comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass (CABG) in patients with LVD (left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≤ 40%), using the random effects model. Effects size is reported as odds ratio (OR) and a 95% confidence interval. Outcomes included all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization, and a composite of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 30-day, 3-year, and long-term (6.3 ± 0.9 years) follow-ups. Seventeen studies (16 observational, 1 randomized) and 18,599 patients (CABG 9651; PCI 8948) were included. RESULTS PCI and CABG had comparable all-cause mortality at 30 days (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.49-1.23) and 3 years (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.91-1.21); however, PCI was associated with increased long-term morality after a mean follow-up of 6.3 ± 0.9 years (31.6% vs. 24.3%, OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.21-1.64). A similar mortality trend was observed in the subgroup of patients with EF ≤ 35%. PCI had a higher rate of repeat revascularization at 3-year and long-term follow-ups. The long-term rates of stroke and MI were comparable. PCI, on the other hand, had lower rates of stroke at 30-day and 3-year follow-ups. CONCLUSION CABG was associated with lower rates of long-term mortality and revascularization but higher rate of upfront stroke in patients with LVD. However, the data included consisted predominantly of observational studies, highlighting the paucity and need for randomized trials.

Mortality after drug-eluting stents vs. coronary artery bypass grafting for left main coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Eur Heart J 2020; 41:3228-3235. [PMID: 32118272 PMCID: PMC7557472 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehaa135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 99] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2020] [Revised: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The optimal method of revascularization for patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is controversial. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) has traditionally been considered the gold standard therapy, and recent randomized trials comparing CABG with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) have reported conflicting outcomes. We, therefore, performed a systematic review and updated meta-analysis comparing CABG to PCI with DES for the treatment of LMCAD. METHODS AND RESULTS We systematically identified all randomized trials comparing PCI with DES vs. CABG in patients with LMCAD. The primary efficacy endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and unplanned revascularization. All analyses were by intention-to-treat. There were five eligible trials in which 4612 patients were randomized. The weighted mean follow-up duration was 67.1 months. There were no significant differences between PCI and CABG for the risk of all-cause mortality [relative risk (RR) 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.81-1.32; P = 0.779] or cardiac death (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.79-1.34; P = 0.817). There were also no significant differences in the risk of stroke (RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.35-1.50; P = 0.400) or MI (RR 1.22, 95% CI 0.96-1.56; P = 0.110). Percutaneous coronary intervention was associated with an increased risk of unplanned revascularization (RR 1.73, 95% CI 1.49-2.02; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The totality of randomized clinical trial evidence demonstrated similar long-term mortality after PCI with DES compared with CABG in patients with LMCAD. Nor were there significant differences in cardiac death, stroke, or MI between PCI and CABG. Unplanned revascularization procedures were less common after CABG compared with PCI. These findings may inform clinical decision-making between cardiologists, surgeons, and patients with LMCAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine rates and predictors repeat revascularization strategies (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] and coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]) in patients with prior CABG. METHODS Using the National Inpatient Sample, patients with a history of CABG hospitalized for revascularization by PCI or CABG from January 2004 to September 2015 were included. Regression analyses were performed to examine predictors of receipt of either revascularization strategy as well as in-hospital outcomes. RESULTS The rate of redo CABG doubled between 2004 (5.3%) and 2015 (10.3%). Patients who underwent redo CABG were more comorbid and experienced significantly worse major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (odds ratio [OR]: 5.36 95% CI 5.11-5.61), mortality (OR 2.84 95% CI 2.60,-3.11), bleeding (OR 5.97 95% CI 5.44-6.55) and stroke (OR 2.15 95% CI 1.92-2.41), but there was no difference in cardiac complications between groups. Thoracic complications were high in patients undergoing redo CABG (8%), especially in females. Factors favoring receipt of redo CABG compared to PCI included male sex, age < 80 years, and absence of diabetes and renal failure. CONCLUSION Reoperation in patients with prior CABG has doubled in the United States over a 12-year period. Patients undergoing redo CABG are more complex and associated with worse clinical outcomes than those receiving PCI.

CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2020; 23:14-19. [PMID: 32736979 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2020.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2020] [Revised: 07/07/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, DES is a reasonable treatment option for LMCA disease but CABG continues to be first-line treatment. Multiple randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have compared outcomes between these two treatment modalities. Recently, these trials published their long-term results with conflicting findings. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs that compared DES vs CABG in patients with LMCA disease. We only included trials with follow up duration of at least 5 years. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included risk of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and repeat revascularization. RESULTS We included a total of 4 RCTs. The median-weighted follow up period was 6.5 years. There was no significant difference between DES and CABG in all-cause mortality (Risk ratio (RR) 1.10; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92 to 1.31; p = 0.28), risk of cardiac death (RR of 1.08, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.38; p = 0.56), total MI (RR of 1.22, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.56; p = 0.11), and stroke (RR of 0.85, 95% CI 0.46 to 1.57; p = 0.60). The risk of repeat revascularization (RR of 1.75, 95% CI 1.50 to 2.03; p < 0.00001), and non-periprocedural MI (RR of 2.13, 95% CI 1.53 to 2.97; p < 0.00001) were significantly higher in the DES arm. CONCLUSIONS DES has similar long-term outcomes compared to CABG in terms of all-cause mortality, cardiac death, total MI and stroke; but was associated with a higher risk of repeat revascularization, and non-periprocedural MI.

Impact of Elective, Uncomplicated Target Lesion Revascularization on Cardiac Mortality After Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease. Am J Cardiol 2020; 128:94-100.

Abstract
This study sought to investigate the impact of elective, uncomplicated target lesion revascularization (TLR) on long-term cardiac mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease. Consecutive patients undergoing PCI for ULMCA disease between January 2003 and December 2015 in 1 interventional center in Northern Italy were included. Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI), as well as those undergoing urgent or complicated TLR were excluded. The primary endpoint of the study was cardiac mortality. Among the 418 patients fulfilling the study criteria, 79 (18.46%) underwent elective, uncomplicated TLR. After a median follow-up of 5.5 years, there were 23 cardiac deaths among patients undergoing elective, uncomplicated TLR versus 50 in patients not undergoing TLR. After adjusting for possible confounders, TLR was an independent predictor of cardiac mortality (Hazard ratio [HZ] = 1.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05 to 3.49; p = 0.03). Patients undergoing TLR had also significantly higher rates of the composite of cardiac death, MI and stroke compared with the no TLR group (adjusted HR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.14 to 2.72). In conclusion, elective, uncomplicated TLR after PCI of ULMCA disease is associated with increased risk of long-term cardiac mortality. Reducing the risk of TLR after PCI of ULMCA disease may potentially improve the survival of these patients.

Abstract
The prognostic role of previous coronary artery bypass (CABG) in elderly patients admitted to hospital for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the prognosis of patients aged ≥75 years admitted for an ACS with or without previous history of CABG. The primary outcome of the study was a composite of overall mortality, recurrent nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and rehospitalization for heart failure at 1-year follow-up. We included 2,253 ACS patients, aged 81 (78 to 85) years enrolled in 3 multicenter studies (the Italian Elderly ACS study, the LADIES ACS study, and the Elderly ACS 2 randomised trial) - 178 (7.9%) with previous CABG, 2,075 (92.1%) without. Patients with previous CABG had a higher burden of cardiovascular risk factors, lower ejection fraction, and higher creatinine values on admission. However, both at univariate analysis and after adjustment for the most relevant covariates (sex, age, previous myocardial infarction, type of ACS, left ventricular ejection fraction, and serum creatinine on admission), previous CABG did not show any statistically significant association with 1-year outcome (adjusted hazard ratio 0.85; 95% confidence interval 0.61 to 1.19; p = 0.353). In conclusion, our study suggests that elderly ACS patients with previous CABG have worse basal clinical characteristics. Nevertheless, in a broad cohort of patients mostly treated with percutaneous coronary intervention during the index event, previous CABG did not confer independent additional risk of major adverse cardiovascular events at 1-year follow-up.

Three-year clinical outcome of unprotected left main coronary artery disease patients complicated with chronic kidney disease treated by coronary artery bypass graft versus percutaneous coronary intervention. Ir J Med Sci 2020; 190:89-96. [PMID: 32529544 DOI: 10.1007/s11845-020-02257-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) in unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD) patients complicated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS Three hundred sixty-eight ULMCAD patients complicated with CKD who underwent first ever CABG (n = 207) or PCI with DES (n = 161) were recruited in this prospective cohort study. Patients were followed up to MACCE occurrence or 36 months after operations, and accumulating MACCE occurrence was calculated. RESULTS Accumulating MACCE occurrence was decreased in CABG group compared with PCI group (P = 0.007). Subgroup analysis showed that CKD stage positively correlated with accumulating MACCE occurrence in total patients (P = 0.006) and in PCI-treated patients (P = 0.018), but not in CABG-treated patients (P = 0.217). Further univariate Cox's regression model displayed that CABG (versus (vs.) PCI) (P = 0.008) was associated with lower accumulating MACCE occurrence, while age (≥ 65 years) (P = 0.048), hyperlipidemia (P = 0.013), diabetes (P = 0.012), previous heart failure (P = 0.011), previous stroke (P = 0.030), LVEF < 50% (P = 0.048), higher CKD stage (P = 0.002), and more diseased vessels (P = 0.022) were associated with increased accumulating MACCE occurrence. Forward stepwise multivariate Cox's regression model disclosed that CABG (vs. PCI) (P = 0.002) independently predicted decreased accumulating MACCE occurrence, whereas hyperlipidemia (P = 0.033), diabetes (P = 0.002), higher CKD stage (P = 0.001), and more diseased vessels (P = 0.009) independently predicted elevated accumulating MACCE occurrence. CONCLUSION CABG could be considered as the preferred treatment strategy compared with PCI with DES in ULMCAD patients complicated with CKD.
