Int J Cardiol 2024; 395:131415. [PMID: 37802297 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.131415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) increases the risk of ischemic stroke. However, it remains uncertain if the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the confirmed LVT setting further augments the stroke risk. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the risk of stroke among patients with LVT undergoing CAG +/- PCI. METHODS This retrospective observational cohort study included all the patients encountered with LVT from 1st of April 2015, to 31st of March 2020. The study population was divided into two groups: Longobardo et al. (2018) [1] patients with LVT who underwent CAG +/- PCI; Solheim et al. (2010) [2] patients with LVT who did not undergo CAG +/- PCI. The primary outcome evaluated was stroke during the index admission, and the secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, all-cause mortality, and stroke at 12 months post-discharge. Logistic regression was used to determine the risk of stroke associated with PCI among patients with LVT, and a p-value<0.05 indicated statistical significance. RESULTS Of the 210 patients included, 119 underwent CAG +/- PCI, while 91 patients did not undergo CAG +/- PCI. Most of the patients were Asian (67%), male (96%), with a mean age of 56 years. Ischemic cardiomyopathy was the primary etiology of LVT in both groups (96% in the CAG +/- PCI group and 80% in non CAG +/- PCI group). During the index admission, stroke among patients with LVT did not differ between the CAG +/- PCI and non CAG +/- PCI groups (5% versus 3.3%; odds ratio (OR) 1.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34-6.4, p = 0.539; adjusted OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.09-10.6, p = 0.968). Similarly, in-hospital mortality, all-cause mortality, and stroke at 12 months did not differ between the study groups. CONCLUSION Performing CAG +/- PCI among patients with LVT was not associated with an increased risk of stroke during admission or within 12 months in comparison to patients who did not undergo CAG +/- PCI, which may reassure cardiologists to perform CAG +/- PCI among patients with LVT safely.

Abstract
Background: Cerebrovascular events (CVEs) are one of the rare complications of cardiac catheterization. This prospective single-center study was conducted to assess the incidence, presentations, and outcomes of CVEs in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Methods: Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization who developed CVEs within 48 h of procedure were analyzed prospectively with clinical assessment and neuroimaging. Results: Out of 55,664 patients, 35 had periprocedural CVEs (0.063%). The incidence of periprocedural CVEs with balloon mitral valvotomy, percutaneous coronary intervention, and coronary angiography was 0.127%, 0.112%, and 0.043%, respectively. A larger proportion of periprocedural CVEs occurred in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS, 77.1%) than in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The majority of CVEs were ischemic type (33 patients, 94.3%). It was most commonly seen in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory. Hemorrhagic CVEs were very rare (2 patients, 5.7%). The majority of the CVEs manifested during or within 24 h of the procedure (31 patients, 88.6%). Neurodeficits persisted during the hospital stay in 20 patients (57.2%), who had longer duration of procedure compared to those with recovered deficits (P = 0.0125). In-hospital mortality occurred in three patients (8.5%) and post-discharge mortality in another 3 (8.5%). Conclusions: Periprocedural CVEs are rare and have decreased over time. They occur in a greater proportion in patients with ACS than in patients with stable CAD, more with interventional than diagnostic procedures. Ischemic event in the left MCA territory is the most common manifestation, commonly seen within 24 h of the procedure. Longer duration of procedure was a risk factor for larger infarcts and hence persistent neurodeficit at discharge. Although a substantial number of patients recover the neurodeficits, periprocedural CVEs are associated with adverse outcomes.

Abstract
An 81-year-old man underwent cardiac catheterisation to investigate breathlessness and left ventricular impairment of unknown cause. He had unobstructed coronary arteries. Immediately following the procedure, he became suddenly unresponsive with vertical gaze palsy, anisocoria and bilateral upgoing plantar responses. He made a rapid recovery to his premorbid state 25 min later with no residual focal neurological signs. He then had multiple unresponsive episodes, interspaced with complete resolution of symptoms and neurological signs. MRI of the brain identified bilateral medial thalamic infarcts and midbrain infarcts, consistent with an artery of Percheron territory infarction. By the time the diagnosis was reached, the thrombolysis window had elapsed. The unresponsive episodes diminished with time and the patient was discharged to inpatient rehabilitation. At 6-month review after the episode, the patient has a degree of progressive cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery disease is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 1998 to 2008 was used to identify 1,552,602 PCIs performed for acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery disease. We assessed temporal trends in the incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of CVA in a broad range of patients undergoing PCI. The overall incidence of CVA was 0.56% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.55 to 0.57). The incidence of CVA remained unchanged over the study period (adjusted p for trend=0.2271). The overall mortality rate in the CVA group was 10.76% (95% CI 10.1 to 11.4). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) of CVA for in-hospital mortality was 7.74 (95% CI 7.00 to 8.57, p<0.0001); this remained high but decreased over the study period (adjusted p for trend<0.0001). Independent predictors of CVA included older age (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.03, p<0.0001), disorder of lipid metabolism (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.38, p<0.001), history of tobacco use (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.34, p=0.0002), coronary atherosclerosis (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.43 to 1.71, p<0.0001), and intra-aortic balloon pump use (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.77, p=0.0073). A nomogram for predicting the probability of CVA achieved a concordance index of 0.73 and was well calibrated. In conclusion, the incidence of CVA associated with PCI has remained unchanged from 1998 to 2008 in face of improved equipment, techniques, and adjunctive pharmacology. The risk of CVA-associated in-hospital mortality is high; however, this risk has decreased over the study period.

Abstract
Background: We report a diagnostic dilemma in a rare case of cerebral contrast retention after difficult cardiac catheterization in an elderly patient loaded with prasugrel. Summary: Our case report describes a 77-year-old female with history of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia who presented to emergency department complaining of chest pain. Patient was found to have an inferior wall ST elevation myocardial infarction. The patient was loaded with aspirin and prasugrel and taken for emergent cardiac catheterization. Cardiac catheterization revealed two-vessel coronary artery disease with unsuccessful attempt of percutaneous intervention. Immediately after procedure, patient developed an episode of seizure. Emergent computed tomography scan of the brain revealed hyperdensity in the right frontoparietal region consistent with intracerebral bleed. Repeat computed tomography (24 h later) revealed substantial interval improvement of hyperdensity. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging of the head was normal. Given the lack of magnetic resonance imaging changes, the rate of resolution on computed tomography without expected subacute changes, and the lack of neurologic findings, the initial hyperdensity seen on computed tomography of the brain was believed to be secondary to contrast leakage during cardiac catheterization as opposed to intracranial hemorrhage.

Abstract
Cardiac disease, in particular coronary artery disease, is the leading cause of mortality in developed nations. Strokes can complicate cardiac disease - either as result of left ventricular dysfunction and associated thrombus formation or of therapy for the cardiac disease. Antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants routinely used to treat cardiac disease increase the risk for hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
A wide array of neurologic complications can occur in relation to cardiac surgical procedures, most of which are transient and do not result in permanent sequelae. Specific neurologic insults can occur depending on the type of cardiac procedure and are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Neurologists practicing in the hospital setting as well as outpatient neurologists should be familiar with the cardiac surgical procedures currently available. Prompt identification of neurologic deficits is important in order to plan an appropriate systematic evaluation and initiate possible treatments in a timely manner. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of all facets of neurologic complications after cardiac surgical procedures.

Abstract
Coronary angiography and heart catheterization are invaluable tests for the detection and quantification of coronary artery disease, identification of valvular and other structural abnormalities, and measurement of hemodynamic parameters. The risks and complications associated with these procedures relate to the patient’s concomitant conditions and to the skill and judgment of the operator. In this review, we examine in detail the major complications associated with invasive cardiac procedures and provide the reader with a comprehensive bibliography for advanced reading.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is one of the most feared complications after cardiac catheterization. Endovascular treatment combining mechanical and pharmacological therapy has been reported as an effective treatment option in selected patients with acute stroke due to large-vessel occlusion. Little is known about safety and clinical outcome when this approach is utilized in cardiac catheterization associated strokes. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed clinical and radiological characteristics and outcomes in the endovascular acute stroke treatment databases from two University Hospitals from July 2006 to December 2008 (Cleveland Clinic Foundation) and September 1999 and December 2008 (UPMC Presbyterian hospital), respectively. Of a total of 419 acute stroke interventions, 14 (3.34%) were identified as strokes during or immediately after cardiac catheterization. The mean age was 71 ± 7 years; eight were women (57.1%). Mean National Institute of Health Stroke Scale was 17 (±7.6). Four patients underwent intravenous thrombolysis followed by intraarterial intervention. Median time to treatment was 240 minutes from last time seen normal (range 66-1,365 minutes). Seven patients (50%) had a favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS]≤ 2). In-patient mortality was 42%. CONCLUSION In acute strokes following cardiac catheterization, multimodal endovascular therapy is safe and feasible and despite a high mortality is associated with a higher than expected rate of favorable outcomes compared to the natural history of the disease. Despite a significant proportion of patients developing symptoms in hospitals where neurointerventions are available, the median time to treatment was longer than expected. Future efforts should focus on faster implementation of recanalization therapies for this form of acute stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pediatrics, contrast-related AE such as allergic reactions, seizures, and nephropathy have been reported to occur after cardiac catheterization, but their incidence remains unknown. OBJECTIVE We sought to report adverse event (AE) rates attributed to contrast administration in a pediatric cardiac catheterization lab and identify characteristics related to higher doses. METHODS A single institution prospective cardiac catheterization AE database identified AE in children <18 years old exposed to contrast. All AE were reviewed and classified by relationship to contrast. Medical records for the 50 cases who received highest contrast doses were retrospectively reviewed for AE. Patient and procedural characteristics were compared in the top quartile of contrast dose versus remaining cases. RESULTS Over 3 years, 2,321 consecutive cases required median 3.9 cm(3)/kg [IQR: 2.0, 6.0] of contrast. Patients receiving high dose contrast (top quartile) were more likely to be <1 year (51% vs. 24%), weigh <10 kg (66% vs. 29%), have complex 2 ventricle disease (56% vs. 35%), be in a high procedure type risk group (57% vs. 26%), and undergo procedures >2 h (67% vs. 28%), all P < 0.001. Only 2 of 2,321 cases (0.09%, 95% CI 0.01-0.31%) had AE possibly related to contrast. These events were an acute neurological change and transient nephropathy. In 50 cases receiving the most contrast, no AE were attributed to contrast. CONCLUSION A large volume pediatric cardiac catheterization lab administered >or= 6 cm(3)/kg of contrast in a quarter of cases; however, AE related to contrast exposure were exceedingly rare.

Abstract
Cerebral artery stenosis (CAS) has the same pathogenesis as coronary artery disease (CAD), but the coexistence of these two diseases has been rarely reported. To detect coexistent CAS in CAD patients, we conducted a study of simultaneous coronary and cerebral angiography. Of the 663 consecutive newly diagnosed CAD patients who had not yet been explored to have CAS, 80 were admitted to undergo angiography of bilateral carotid and vertebral system during the same procedure. We defined significant vascular stenosis, either located intracranially or extracranially, as the lesions of diameter stenosis more than 50%. Association between carotid or vertebral stenosis and their potential risk factors were also analyzed. Of our patients, 18 (22.5%) had significant extracranial vascular stenosis, 14 (17.5%) suffered from intracranial stenosis, and 20 (25%) had both. Only 28 patients (35%) had no significant intracranial or extracranial stenosis. None of the demographic parameters as hypertension or diabetes showed significant differences between the cerebral patent group and the CAS group, except for the number of coronary stenotic vessels (1.71 +/- 0.81 versus 2.69 +/- 0.64, P < 0.001). The number of coronary stenotic vessels is correlated well to the number of cerebral stenotic lesions (r = 0.562, P < 0.001). Besides, 8 of the cerebral stenotic patients and 2 of the cerebral patent patients had ischemic stroke previously. We conclude the CAS is coexistent in more than half of the CAD patients in this study. Our study also implies a proportional increase in the severity of CAS to CAD severity.

Abstract
Diagnostic and interventional percutaneous coronary catheterization is associated with stroke. Many of such strokes are asymptomatic, but some are devastating. Once the diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction is confirmed, thrombolytic therapy should be administrated within the time window of 3 hours. We report a 61-year-old woman who suffered from an acute cerebral infarction during diagnostic cardiac catheterization for unstable angina, which manifested as sudden onset of global aphasia, right hemiplegia and gaze preponderance to the left side. Computed tomography of the head performed immediately after recognition of the symptoms showed a hyperdense middle cerebral artery (MCA) sign. Following prompt recognition and diagnosis, intravenous thrombolytic therapy was administered 2 hours after symptom onset. The patient had a favorable outcome. Initially, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 21, and 24 hours later it improved to 9. The hyperdense MCA lesion had resolved on the 24-hour follow-up scan. This case illustrates the clinical benefit of thrombolytic therapy in the setting of acute stroke associated with cardiac catheterization.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a rare but serious complication of cardiac catheterization. We report a case in which systemic thrombolytic therapy was successfully utilized in treating a patient with a cerebellar stroke, leading to obtundation during elective cardiac catheterization. Underlying bilateral vertebrobasilar disease with thrombotic embolization to the basilar artery was postulated to be the pathophysiological basis for the stroke and subsequent success of thrombolytic treatment in this patient. As the consequences of this rare complication are severe, systemic thrombolytic therapy should be considered for patients suffering an acute ischemic stroke during cardiac catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to identify the incidence, predictors, and clinical implications of cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular accidents after PCI, although rare, can be devastating. Limited information exists regarding the characterization of this complication. METHODS The study population comprised 20,679 patients who underwent PCI between September 1993 and April 2002. A CVA was defined as a composite of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke. The characteristics of those who had a periprocedural CVA were compared with those who did not. RESULTS A CVA occurred in 92 patients (0.30% of procedures). Of these, TIA occurred in 13 patients (0.04%) and stroke in 79 patients (0.25%). On multivariate analysis, patients with this complication more frequently had diabetes mellitus (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1 to 3.0; p = 0.013), hypertension (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 3.3; p = 0.033), previous CVA (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.3 to 4.0; p = 0.0059), and creatinine clearance < or =40 ml/min (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.8 to 5.2; p < 0.0001). They underwent urgent or emergent procedures (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3 to 5.5; p = 0.0092) with more thrombolytic (OR 4.7, 95% CI 2.3 to 9.7; p < 0.0001) and intravenous heparin (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 3.4; p = 0.030) use before PCI, and they more often required emergent intra-aortic balloon pump placement (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1 to 4.3; p = 0.028). On multivariate analysis, CVA was independently associated with in-hospital death (OR 7.8, 95% CI 4.2 to 14.7; p < 0.0001), acute renal failure (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.4 to 5.7; p = 0.0042), and new dialysis (OR 3.73, 95% CI 1.01 to 13.8; p = 0.049) after PCI. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrovascular accidents after PCI, although rare, are associated with high rates of in-hospital death and acute renal failure, often requiring dialysis.

Abstract
Stroke is a heterogeneous disorder with significantly high morbidity and mortality. The relationship between serum cholesterol level and the incidence of stroke remains controversial. Recent evidence from primary and secondary prevention trials suggests that treatment with hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors may reduce the incidence of stroke in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In this review, we attempt to outline and describe the potential mechanisms of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in the prevention of stroke. In addition to their lipid-lowering action HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors appear to exert their beneficial effects by various nonlipid-lowering mechanisms including anti-inflammatory effects, effect on endothelial function and coagulation cascade. Treatment with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors is associated with decreased progression, plaque stablization and even regression of atheromatous plaque in the carotid arteries. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors also inhibit the coagulation cascade at various levels such as activation of prothrombin, factor V, factor X and liberation of tissue factor in response to vascular injury. Inhibition of fibrinolysis occurs secondary to inhibition of plasmin generation. Pravastatin therapy is associated with a reduction in the size of aortic atheroma which is an independent risk factor for stroke. Lastly, left ventricular dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction is associated with an increased risk of stroke and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors may indirectly decrease the incidence of stroke by reducing coronary events. Most of these effects are independent of the cholesterol-lowering effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. In conclusion, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors may have a role in primary prevention of stroke in patients with CAD.

Abstract
A 78 year-old woman had a NYHA II dyspnoea, which was related to a calcified aortic stenosis. Functional aortic valvular surface was calculated to 0.75 cm2 by echocardiography. In addition, there were important mitral calcifications without mitral stenosis. The left ventricular contractility was normal, but there was a significant left ventricular hypertrophy. At the time of the coronary angiography, the aortic valve was crossed with difficulty. A "pigtail" probe was positioned and during left ventricular angiography, an unexpected aspect of myography was observed with an unusual opacification of the interventricular posterior coronary vein, draining in the coronary sinus. The patient remained strictly asymptomatic during all the procedure. Two echographic controls carried out in the 24 following hours appeared normal, without pericardial effusion nor new parietal anomaly of the left ventricle. Five weeks later, the patient underwent an aortic valve replacement without complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Detection of severe atherosclerotic ascending aorta during coronary artery bypass grafting requires alterations in the standard surgical technique to reduce the probability of stroke-related atheroembolization. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) confers the benefits of avoiding aortic cannulation and clamping, and may therefore attenuate this risk. METHODS OPCAB (n = 41) was compared to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using femoral arterial cannulation and hypothermic fibrillatory arrest (n = 15), in patients with porcelain ascending aorta undergoing myocardial revascularization. In both groups, a 'no touch' technique was applied by avoiding aortic cannulation and clamping. Proximal anastomoses on the atherosclerotic aorta were avoided by arterial grafting, (in-situ or T-graft configurations) in all cases. RESULTS Operative mortality was comparable (2.4% and 6.6% in the OPCAB and CPB groups respectively, p = NS). The rate of adverse neurological events, (two strokes and one transient ischemic attack), was higher in the CPB group (p = 0.0164). Based on brain CT, the nature of the recorded stroke suggested retrograde emboli. Three year survival (Kaplan-Meier) for the OPCAB and CPB groups was 86.7% and 81.3%, respectively (p = NS). Occurrence of late neurological adverse events during follow-up (8-51 months) was similar. CONCLUSIONS In patients with porcelain ascending aorta undergoing myocardial revascularization, neurological outcome of OPCAB patients is better than CPB using femoral artery cannulation.

Abstract
The authors aimed to delineate the risk factors and radiologic pattern of stroke complicating cardiac catheterization. Twenty-two cases were matched with three control subjects. Stroke was significantly associated with severity of coronary artery disease and length of fluoroscopy time (OR 1.96 and 1.65). The use of MRI with diffusion weighting allowed the identification of multiple asymptomatic lesions and a subset of lacunar-type infarcts (23%), which most likely occurred on an atheroembolic basis.

Abstract
In an unselected, prospective case control study, the incidence of risk factors and perioperative complications was investigated in 237 knees (203 patients) undergoing implantation of cementless total knee endoprostheses. Intraoperative complications and postoperative complications occurred in 84 patients (99 knees), with 61 specific orthopaedic complications in 50 patients (57 knees) and 74 nonsurgical complications in 55 patients (65 knees). The presence of cardiac, neurologic, or psychiatric concomitant diseases, advanced age, male gender, high-risk anesthesia scores, number and extent of intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations, and surgery under intubation anesthesia are associated significantly with the incidence of nonsurgical perioperative complications. In contrast, body weight, concomitant metabolic and circulatory diseases, previous surgery on the joint, origin of the articular disease, and the duration of surgery and tourniquet time do not correlate with the probability of a nonsurgical perioperative complication. A significant correlation with the parameters investigated could not be found for the occurrence of specific orthopaedic complications. The current report identifies specific risk factors that define patients with risk of having perioperative complications according to objective criteria. These parameters must be given individual consideration when establishing the indication and planning of surgery.

Abstract
The frequent use of diagnostic coronary arteriography and its importance in evaluating results of intervention in clinical trials emphasize the necessity of continued assessment of procedural risk. Several studies have described such risks, but they have often included a diverse group of patients with varying levels of clinical stability. Furthermore, this risk has not been well established in a population of patients with saphenous vein bypass grafts. There is need to define the risk of coronary arteriography in a group of patients who are both clinically similar and stable, and to evaluate the influence of improved technology and increased operator experience on the risk of the procedure. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-funded Post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Trial offered the opportunity to evaluate the risk of elective diagnostic coronary arteriography in clinically stable patients studied at two points in time: pre-enrollment and 4-5 years after study entry. In this group of 2,635 angiograms from clinically stable patients over 5 years there were no deaths and the risk of myocardial infarction was 0.08%, while 0.7% had clinically important complications. Non-elective, urgent studies (311 angiograms) on unstable patients were more likely to include angioplasty and were associated with a risk of death of 0.6% and myocardial infarction of 1.3%. Complications did not vary with age or gender. Vascular trauma was more likely to occur using the brachial than the femoral artery entry sites. These results indicate that elective angiography on stable patients can be accomplished with a very low risk of mortality (0% in this study) or serious cardiovascular complication. This supports the safety and usefulness of angiography for clinical intervention trials.
