Abstract
BACKGROUND The slow-flow phenomenon is associated with worse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), so our goal for this study was to see how predictive how near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could be. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 179 lesions from 152 patients who had de novo coronary stent implantation guided by NIRS-intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (male: 69.1%, mean age: 74.3±11.5 years, acute coronary syndrome: 65.1%, diabetes: 42.1%). NIRS automatically determined the maximum 4-mm lipid core burden index (maxLCBI4 mm) value at pre- and post-PCI procedures. The slow-flow phenomenon was defined as the deterioration of TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) flows on angiography during the PCI procedure in the absence of mechanical obstruction. The slow-flow phenomenon occurred in 13 (7.3%) lesions, and the slow-flow phenomenon group had a significantly higher maxLCBI4 mm(740±147 vs. 471±223, P<0.001). The best maxLCBI4 mmcutoff point in both acute and chronic coronary syndrome was 578 and 480, with sensitivity of 100%, for predicting the slow-flow phenomenon. In the receiver-operating characteristics analysis, the area under the curve for acute and chronic coronary syndrome was 0.849 and 0.851, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study support the utility of NIRS-IVUS-guided PCI for the prediction of the slow-flow phenomenon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to identify and model risk factors for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all-cause mortality among patients with ESRD treated with PCI using DES. BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have poor long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with non-ESRD patients. However, there is a paucity of literature regarding risk factors associated with outcomes of ESRD patients after PCI with drug-eluding stents (DES). METHODS This retrospective cohort study includes all patients with ESRD who underwent first-time PCI with DES at a single, high-volume hospital between 1/1/2005 and 12/31/2015, with follow-up through 9/1/2019. Primary outcomes were MACE (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or unplanned revascularization) and all-cause mortality. RESULTS Five-year MACE was 83.0% and five-year morality was 77.9% in patients with ESRD (n = 285). Among ESRD patients, factors independently associated with MACE were C-reactive peptide level, SYNTAX score, peripheral vascular occlusive disease, hemoglobin, and treatment of a restenotic lesion (c-index = 0.66). Factors independently associated with mortality in ESRD patients were age, SYNTAX score, non-use of statins at baseline, insulin-dependent diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), peripheral vascular occlusive disease, and platelet count (c-index = 0.65). CONCLUSIONS Despite relatively poor 1-and 5-year outcomes among ESRD patients after PCI, risk of MACE and mortality among this cohort can be successfully modelled, which meaningfully informs clinicians regarding management of ESRD patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Further investigations are necessary to determine whether or not outcomes might be improved through risk profile modification.

Abstract
Background Dialysis is an independent risk factor for in-stent restenosis (ISR) after stent implantation in coronary arteries. However, the characteristics of ISR in patients undergoing dialysis remain unclear, as there are no histological studies evaluating the causes of this condition. The aim of the present study was to investigate the causes of ISR between patients who are undergoing dialysis and those who are not by evaluating tissues obtained from ISR lesions using directional coronary atherectomy. Methods and Results A total of 29 ISR lesions from 29 patients included in a multicenter directional coronary atherectomy registry of 128 patients were selected for analysis and divided into a dialysis group (n=8) and a nondialysis group (n=21). Histopathological evaluation demonstrated that an in-stent calcified nodule was a major histological characteristic of ISR lesions in the dialysis group and the prevalence of an in-stent calcified nodule was significantly higher in the dialysis group compared with the nondialysis group (75% versus 5%, respectively; P<0.01). On the other hand, the prevalence of an in-stent lipid-rich plaque was significantly lower in the dialysis group compared with the nondialysis group (0% versus 43%, respectively; P=0.03). In all cases with an in-stent calcified nodule, the underlying calcification before stent implantation was moderate to severe. When tissue characteristics were stratified according to duration post-stent implantation, an in-stent calcified nodule in the dialysis group was mainly observed within 1 year after stent implantation. Conclusions In-stent calcified nodules are a common cause of ISR in patients undergoing dialysis and are observed within 1 year after stent implantation, suggesting different causes of ISR between patients undergoing dialysis and those who are not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease, the completely percutaneous approach to aortic valve replacement and revascularization has not been compared with the standard surgical approach. METHODS The prospective SURTAVI trial (Safety and Efficiency Study of the Medtronic CoreValve System in the Treatment of Severe, Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis in Intermediate Risk Subjects Who Need Aortic Valve Replacement) enrolled intermediate-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis from 87 centers in the United States, Canada, and Europe between June 2012 and June 2016. Complex coronary artery disease with SYNTAX score (Synergy Between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery Trial) >22 was an exclusion criterion. Patients were stratified according to the need for revascularization and then randomly assigned to treatment with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Patients assigned to revascularization in the TAVR group underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, whereas those in the SAVR group had coronary artery bypass grafting. The primary end point was the rate of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at 2 years. RESULTS Of 1660 subjects with attempted aortic valve implants, 332 (20%) were assigned to revascularization. They had a higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk score for mortality (4.8±1.7% versus 4.4±1.5%; P<0.01) and were more likely to be male (65.1% versus 54.2%; P<0.01) than the 1328 patients not assigned to revascularization. After randomization to treatment, there were 169 patients undergoing TAVR and percutaneous coronary intervention, 163 patients undergoing SAVR and coronary artery bypass grafting, 695 patients undergoing TAVR, and 633 patients undergoing SAVR. No significant difference in the rate of the primary end point was found between TAVR and percutaneous coronary intervention and SAVR and coronary artery bypass grafting (16.0%; 95% CI, 11.1-22.9 versus 14.0%; 95% CI, 9.2-21.1; P=0.62), or between TAVR and SAVR (11.9%; 95% CI, 9.5-14.7 versus 12.3%; 95% CI, 9.8-15.4; P=0.76). CONCLUSIONS For patients at intermediate surgical risk with severe aortic stenosis and noncomplex coronary artery disease (SYNTAX score ≤22), a complete percutaneous approach of TAVR and percutaneous coronary intervention is a reasonable alternative to SAVR and coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract
Prior research has revealed poorer clinical outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for hemodialysis patients. This study aims to investigate the long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes after new-generation DES implantation for hemodialysis patients.We retrospectively enrolled 91 consecutive patients (118 lesions) who underwent successful new-generation DES (everolimus-, zotarolimus-, and biolimus-eluting stents) implantation for the first time. We measured the serum calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood samples obtained just before hemodialysis. The follow-up period of clinical events was, at least, 1.5 years. In this study, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and clinically driven target lesion revascularization were reported in 36 (39.6%) and 11 (12.1%) patients, respectively. The prevalence of peripheral artery disease was significantly higher in the MACCE group (41.7% versus 14.5%, P = 0.006). The serum calcium level was significantly higher in the MACCE group (9.34 ± 0.92 mg/dL versus 8.77 ± 0.88 mg/dL; P = 0.004). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the serum calcium level (hazard ratio, 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.26-2.77; P = 0.002), suboptimal (over 55 mg2/dL2) calcium-phosphorus product (hazard ratio, 3.27; 95% CI: 1.41-7.61; P = 0.006) and the coexistence of peripheral artery disease (hazard ratio, 3.15; 95% CI: 1.49-6.65; P = 0.003) were independent predictors of MACCE.For hemodialysis patients, MACCE remains a frequent occurrence after new-generation DES implantation and is associated with calcium-phosphate metabolism and peripheral artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated serum phosphorus level is an important risk factor for cardiovascular death in general patients on hemodialysis (HD). However, the effect of serum phosphorus levels on outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in HD patients is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a post-hoc study of the OUCH study series, a series of prospective multicenter registries of HD patients who underwent DES implantation comprising 359 patients from 31 centers in Japan. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to their preprocedural serum phosphorus levels. The 1-year clinical outcomes of the 336 patients treated for de novo lesions were evaluated. Compared with patients with high (>5.5 mg/dL; n=65) or normal (3.5-5.5 mg/dL; n=219) serum phosphorus levels, those with low serum phosphorus levels (<3.5 mg/dL; n=52) had significantly fewer target lesion revascularization events (13.9% vs. 16.9% vs. 1.9%; P=0.0090) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (29.2% vs. 31.1% vs. 13.5%; P=0.032). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low serum phosphorus level was an independent negative predictor for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (adjusted odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.12-0.70; P=0.0036). CONCLUSIONS Lowering of serum phosphorus levels beyond the current recommended range may be considered in HD patients who undergo DES implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an acknowledged method of percutaneous treatment of highly calcified or fibrotic coronary lesions. However, using the rotablator system in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) remains controversial and is considered as a relative contraindication. The aim of our study was to assess in-hospital and 1-year outcomes in patients undergoing RA presenting with ACS, in comparison to elective RA procedures. METHODS This single-center observational study included all consecutive patients who underwent RA and PCI in our institution from April 2008 to October 2015. All patients were subsequently divided into two groups based on clinical presentation: stable angina group (SA) and ACS group. Primary endpoints were in-hospital and 1-year all-cause mortality and 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Secondary endpoints were procedural success and in-hospital complications. RESULTS The study included 207 patients, 164 (79%) in SA group and 43 (21%) in ACS group. In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with ACS (4.7% vs. 0%, p=0.01). Procedural success was similar in both groups, 93% in ACS groups vs. 92.7% in SA group, p=0.94. There were no significant differences in the rate of periprocedural complications (4.7% vs. 10.4%, p=0.25), however postprocedural complications were more frequent in ACS group. At 1-year follow-up MACE rate and mortality were numerically higher, however statistically not significant (25.6% vs. 16.5%, p=0.17 and 16.3% vs. 7.9%, p=0.10; respectively). CONCLUSIONS Despite higher mortality and complication rate in ACS group observed in postprocedural period, we found no significant difference in 1-year outcomes in comparison to elective patients. Procedural success of RA in ACS patients is similar to elective patients with SA and this procedure should be considered in case of urgent indications, if no other options of treatment exist.
