Meta-analysis of immediate complete vs staged complete revascularization in patients with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel disease. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 60:1-8. [PMID: 37813709 PMCID: PMC10939793 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2023.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown varying results between immediate and staged complete percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and multivessel disease (MVD). We conducted a meta-analysis to reconcile the findings. METHODS Online databases were searched for RCTs comparing immediate vs staged complete PCI in patients presenting with ACS. The outcomes of interest were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), all cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), cardiovascular death, stent thrombosis, target vessel revascularization (TVR), cerebrovascular events, bleeding and acute kidney injury (AKI)/contrast induced nephropathy (CIN). Risk ratios (RR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using the random-effects model. RESULTS Nine RCTs with a total of 3637 patients - 1821 in the immediate PCI group and 1816 in the staged PCI group, were included. The mean age was 64 years, 78 % of patients were men and the mean duration of follow up was 1 year. As compared with staged complete PCI, the immediate PCI group was associated with significant reduction of MI (RR 0.53, 95 % CI 0.36-0.77) and TVR (RR 0.69, 95 % CI 0.53-0.90). The risks of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, MACE, cerebrovascular events, stent thrombosis, bleeding and AKI/CIN were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS In ACS patients selected for complete revascularization strategy, multivessel PCI during the index procedure may be associated with significant reduction in the risk of MI and TVR without harm when compared with a staged PCI strategy.

Juhan N, Zubairi YZ, Mahmood Zuhdi AS, Mohd Khalid Z. Predictors on outcomes of cardiovascular disease of male patients in Malaysia using Bayesian network analysis. BMJ Open 2023; 13:e066748. [PMID: 37923353 PMCID: PMC10626862 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2022-066748] [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: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite extensive advances in medical and surgical treatment, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Identifying the significant predictors will help clinicians with the prognosis of the disease and patient management. This study aims to identify and interpret the dependence structure between the predictors and health outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) male patients in Malaysian setting. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Malaysian National Cardiovascular Disease Database-Acute Coronary Syndrome (NCVD-ACS) registry years 2006-2013, which consists of 18 hospitals across the country. PARTICIPANTS 7180 male patients diagnosed with STEMI from the NCVD-ACS registry. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES A graphical model based on the Bayesian network (BN) approach has been considered. A bootstrap resampling approach was integrated into the structural learning algorithm to estimate probabilistic relations between the studied features that have the strongest influence and support. RESULTS The relationships between 16 features in the domain of CVD were visualised. From the bootstrap resampling approach, out of 250, only 25 arcs are significant (strength value ≥0.85 and the direction value ≥0.50). Age group, Killip class and renal disease were classified as the key predictors in the BN model for male patients as they were the most influential variables directly connected to the outcome, which is the patient status. Widespread probabilistic associations between the key predictors and the remaining variables were observed in the network structure. High likelihood values are observed for patient status variable stated alive (93.8%), Killip class I on presentation (66.8%), patient younger than 65 (81.1%), smoker patient (77.2%) and ethnic Malay (59.2%). The BN model has been shown to have good predictive performance. CONCLUSIONS The data visualisation analysis can be a powerful tool to understand the relationships between the CVD prognostic variables and can be useful to clinicians.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Surgical revascularisation of patients with atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta remains a challenge. Different surgical strategies have been described in coronary surgical patients to offer alternative revascularisation strategies other than the conventional surgical revascularisation in patients unsuitable for it. The aim of this study is to compare the real-world outcomes between two groups of patients who underwent off-pump surgery (left internal mammary artery graft to the left anterior descending artery) or a hybrid with a percutaneous revascularisation procedure at a later stage. Materials and Methods: This is a single-centre retrospective observational study. Between the years 2010 and 2021, 91/6863 patients (1.33%) were diagnosed with severe atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta. All the patients were treated with off-pump revascularisation (91 patients), and the cardiologist would decide at a later stage whether the rest of the vessels would be treated with percutaneous revascularisation (25 patients). Results: There was no statistical difference in the various preoperative characteristics, except for coronary artery left main disease (30.30% vs. 64%; p = 0.0043). The two groups had no statistical differences in the perioperative characteristics and postoperative complications. The 1-, 5-, and 10-year mortality rates in the two groups were 6.1% vs. 0%, 59% vs. 80%, and 93.9% vs. 100%, respectively (off-pump vs. hybrid with percutaneous revascularisation procedure, p = 0.1958). Conclusions: Both strategies have high long-term comparable mortality. The off-pump surgery and the HCR procedure at a later stage may be solutions for these high-risk patients, but the target treatment should be complete HCR revascularisation during the index hospitalization.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2022; 100:1182-1194.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the outcomes of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) with traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD). BACKGROUND HCR has emerged as an alternative to CABG in patients with MVCAD. Through minimally invasive surgical techniques, HCR carries the potential for faster recovery postoperatively, fewer complications, and lower utilization of resources. METHODS Systematic search of electronic databases was conducted up to December 2021 and studies comparing HCR with CABG in the treatment of MVCAD were included in this meta-analysis. Primary outcomes of interest were incidence of 5-year mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebral event (MACCE). RESULTS Fourteen studies (12 observational studies and 2 randomized controlled trials) comprising 4226 patients were included. The rates of 5-year mortality (odds ratios [OR]: 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.92-2.62; I2 = 83.0%) and long-term MACCE (OR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.47-2.01; I2 = 74.7%) were comparable between HCR and CABG groups. HCR was associated with a significantly lower likelihood of perioperative blood transfusion (OR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.25-0.51; I2 = 55.9%), shorter mean hospital stay (weighted mean difference: -2.04; 95% CI: -2.60 to -1.47; I2 = 54%), and risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (OR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.23-0.88; p = 0.02). CABG demonstrated a lower likelihood of requiring long-term repeat revascularization (OR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.03-2.20; I2 = 18%) over a follow-up duration of 29.14 ± 21.75 months. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that HCR is feasible and safe for the treatment of MVCAD. However, benefits of HCR should be carefully weighed against the increased long-term risk of repeat-revascularization when selecting patients, and further studies evaluating differences in long-term mortality between HCR and CABG are required.

Induced blood oxidation in myocardial revascularization. КЛИНИЧЕСКАЯ ПРАКТИКА 2022.

Abstract
Background: The use of artificial circulation in surgical myocardial revascularization is one of the key pathogenetic factors in the development of the oxidative stress and systemic inflammatory response in the postoperative period. Aims: the purpose of the study was to describe the dynamics of the induced blood oxidation parameters during coronary artery bypass surgery in the conditions of artificial circulation and on the working heart. Methods: The study included 64 patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery, with 31 (48.4%) on-pump patients and 33 (51.6%) off-pump patients. The oxidative stress simulations were conducted under the in vitro conditions. The blood oxidation-induced values were studied using a biological oxygen monitor. Results: In patients with coronary heart disease, regardless of the choice of the revascularization method (on-pump / off-pump), we observed statistically significantly (p 0.05) higher initial and maximum blood oxidation rates, the oxidative activity factor, and a shorter initiation period than those in healthy volunteers. No significant differences were found by the inter-group comparison analysis both 10 days and 6 months post-surgery. Conclusion: The indicators of induced blood oxidation do not depend on the method of revascularization during coronary bypass grafting (artificial circulation or a working heart). The changes in the parameters indicating activation of the oxidative and antioxidant blood systems may be transient by their nature and occur in the early postoperative period.
