Safety, efficacy, and optical coherence tomography insights into intravascular lithotripsy for the modification of non-eruptive calcified nodules: A prospective observational study. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2024. [PMID: 39224005 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-eruptive calcium nodules (CNs) are commonly seen in heavily calcified coronary artery disease. They are the most difficult subset for modification, and may result in stent damage, malapposition and under-expansion. There are only limited options available for non-eruptive CN modification. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is being explored as a potentially safe and effective modality in these lesions. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the use of IVL for the modification of non-eruptive CNs. The study also explored the OCT features of calcium nodule modification by IVL. METHODS This is a single-center, prospective, observational study in which patients with angiographic heavy calcification and non-eruptive CN on OCT and undergoing PCI were enrolled. The primary safety endpoint was freedom from perforation, no-reflow/slow flow, flow-limiting dissection after IVL therapy, and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during hospitalization and at 30 days. MACE was defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR). The primary efficacy endpoint was procedural success, defined as residual diameter stenosis of <30% on angiography and stent expansion of more than 80% as assessed by OCT. RESULTS A total of 21 patients with 54 non-eruptive CNs undergoing PCI were prospectively enrolled in the study. Before IVL, OCT revealed a mean calcium score of 3.7 ± 0.5 and a mean MLA at CN of 3.9 ± 2.1 mm2. Following IVL, OCT revealed calcium fractures in 40 out of 54 (74.1%) CNs with an average of 1.05 ± 0.72 fractures per CN. Fractures were predominantly observed at the base of the CN (80%). Post IVL, the mean MLA at CN increased to 4.9 ± 2.3 mm2. After PCI, the mean MSA at the CN was 7.9 ± 2.5 mm2. Optimal stent expansion (stent expansion >80%) at the CN was achieved in 85.71% of patients. All patients remained free from MACE during hospitalization and at the 30-day follow-up. At 1-year follow-up, all-cause death had occurred in 3 (14.3%) patients. CONCLUSIONS This single-arm study demonstrated the safety, efficacy, and utility of the IVL in a subset of patients with non-eruptive calcified nodules. In this study, minimal procedural complications, excellent lesion modifications, and favorable 30-day and 1-year outcomes were observed.

[PMID: 39218965 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-71060-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Optimal blood pressure (BP) for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear. This study aims to identify the optimal BP by investigating the association between average office BP and future clinical events in patients undergoing PCI. Consecutive patients undergoing PCI from 2012 to 2016 were included. They were divided into five groups according to the average follow-up BP after discharge. The co-primary outcomes were net adverse clinical events (NACE) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) up to 5 years. NACE was defined as a composite of MACCE (all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, or any revascularization) or major bleeding. A total of 2845 patients were included, and among them, 787 (27.7%) experienced the NACE during the follow-up period. Patients in the highest SBP group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.495, confidence interval [CI] 1.189-1.880) and lowest SBP group (adjusted HR 1.625, CI 1.214-2.176) had a significantly higher risk of 5-year NACE. Similar associations were observed between SBP and the risk of MACCE, and similar results based on DBP categories were also observed. There was a J-curve relationship between SBP and DBP with respect to 5-year NACE and MACCE. The nadir point of risk for NACE and MACCE was found at 121.4/74.8 and 120.4/73.7 mmHg. In patients underwent PCI, there is a significant correlation between office BP level and clinical events, indicates the importance of efforts for optimal BP control to reduce ischemic and bleeding events.Trial registration: HanYang University Medical Center (HYUMC) Registry, NCT05935397.

Kidney disease, diabetes, and diameter stenosis predict Rotablation bailout in modified balloon application for severely calcified coronary lesions. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2024. [PMID: 39219464 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Modified balloon (MB) treatment in severely calcified coronary artery lesions is an established technique. However, some lesions require Rotablation (RA) as bailout strategy. AIMS This study aimed to assess predictors of switch from MB to RA and its impact on procedural and midterm outcomes. METHODS Four hundred and eighty-three consecutive patients were included undergoing MB treatment (n = 204) with a scoring or cutting balloon, or upfront RA treatment (n = 279) serving as control cohort. Strategy switch from MB to RA was performed in 19 of 204 patients. Procedural success was defined as successful stent implantation and TIMI III flow. RESULTS In the MB cohort, median age was 72 [63-78] years, 75.5% were male and 42.1% had acute coronary syndrome. Procedure success was achieved in 89.4% of the switch group versus 98.4% of the MB only group (p < 0.001) and in 96.4% of the RA cohort. In the switch group, periprocedural complications (31.6% vs. 8.1% vs. 11.8%, p = 0.007), radiation dose (149 [126-252] vs. 59 [30-97] vs. 102 [59-156] Gcm2; p < 0.001) and contrast volume (250 [190-250] vs. 190 [150-250] vs. 195 [190--250] mL; p < 0.001) were significantly higher. Diabetes (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.1-13.9, p = 0.042), chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5 (OR 19.0, 95% CI 3.3-108.6, p < 0.001) and pronounced calcification resulting in higher angiographic diameter stenosis (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.1-1.2, p = 0.001) independently predicted strategy switch. Midterm results were not affected by strategy switch regarding 1-year target lesion revascularization rates (86% vs. 89% vs. 89%; log-rank p = 0.95). CONCLUSION Primary RA strategy might be considered in patients with severely calcified coronary artery lesions with high angiographic diameter stenosis, diabetes or impaired renal function due to increased periprocedural complication rates, radiation dose, and contrast volume following strategy switch.

Periprocedural myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention and long-term mortality: a meta-analysis. Eur Heart J 2024; 45:3018-3027. [PMID: 38742545 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae266] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Conflicting data are available regarding the association between periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) and mortality following percutaneous coronary intervention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and prognostic implication of PMI according to the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (UDMI), the Academic Research Consortium (ARC)-2 definition, and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) definition. METHODS Studies reporting adjusted effect estimates were systematically searched. The primary outcome was all-cause death, while cardiac death was included as a secondary outcome. Studies defining PMI according to biomarker elevation without further evidence of myocardial ischaemia ('ancillary criteria') were included and reported as 'definition-like'. Data were pooled in a random-effect model. RESULTS A total of 19 studies and 109 568 patients were included. The incidence of PMI was progressively lower across the UDMI, ARC-2, and SCAI definitions. All PMI definitions were independently associated with all-cause mortality [UDMI: hazard ratio (HR) 1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.32-1.97; I2 34%; ARC-2: HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.40-3.08, I2 0%; SCAI: HR 3.24, 95% CI 2.36-4.44, I2 78%]. Including ancillary criteria in the PMI definitions were associated with an increased prognostic performance in the UDMI but not in the SCAI definition. Data were consistent after evaluation of major sources of heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS All currently available international definitions of PMI are associated with an increased risk of all-cause death after percutaneous coronary intervention. The magnitude of this latter association varies according to the sensitivity and prognostic relevance of each definition.

Int J Cardiol 2024; 410:132224. [PMID: 38815671 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132224] [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: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the trends and impact of changes in management of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) from 2010 to 2019. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of data from STEMI hospitalisations including demographic, comorbidity, angiographic and outcome data. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS High-volume non-surgical regional Australian tertiary referral centre. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Index & 12-month mortality (all-cause & cardiovascular), door-to-balloon time, target-vessel failure, target-vessel revascularisation & procedure-related bleeding. RESULTS From 2010 to 2019, 1299 patients presented with STEMI. The cardiovascular risk factor profile did not significantly change over the 10-year study period, p = 0.23. There was a significant trend toward culprit vessel percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting, rather than balloon angioplasty followed by surgical revascularisation, p = 0.029. The mean door-to-balloon time was 88 +/- 5.7 min and demonstrated a statistically significant improvement across the decade, p = 0.035. Radial access became the preferred angiographic approach (2010 92% femoral, 2019 91% radial). Drug-eluting stents (DES) replaced bare metal stent use. There was a statistically significant reduction in 12-month cardiovascular mortality across the decade (p = 0.042). However index hospitalisation (cardiovascular and all-cause) and 12-month all-cause mortality did not reduce. Young patients and women are important sub-groups of STEMI presentations with different risk factor profile. CONCLUSIONS Advances in management of STEMI such as radial access, use of DES and a significant reduction in door-to-balloon time across the decade resulted in a reduction of 12-month cardiovascular mortality over the decade however there was no significant reduction in 12-month all-cause mortality, or index hospitalisation cardiovascular or index hospitalisation all-cause mortality. Further research is needed to ensure non-mortality outcomes, such as heart failure hospitalisation and quality of life, also demonstrate temporal improvement with STEMI management advances. Earlier cardiovascular risk assessment should be considered in smokers than is currently recommended in Australian guidelines (≥45yo for most individuals).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and non-hyperemic indices are invasive standards for evaluating functional significance of coronary stenosis. However, data are limited about outcomes in vessels with concordant and discordant physiological results, particularly with a ratio of distal coronary to aortic pressure (Pd/Pa) at rest. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. Coronary physiological indices including FFR, resting full-cycle ratio (RFR), and resting Pd/Pa were invasively evaluated in vessels with intermediate coronary artery stenosis. FFR ≤0.80, RFR ≤0.89, and resting Pd/Pa ≤0.92 were considered physiologically positive. Vessels were divided into three groups according to the results of FFR, RFR, and resting Pd/Pa: concordant positive (all positive for FFR, RFR, and resting Pd/Pa), concordant negative (all negative for FFR, RFR, and resting Pd/Pa), and discordant groups. The primary endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF) defined as a composite of cardiac death and target vessel myocardial infarction and unplanned revascularization. RESULTS Of 987 vessels included, 311 (31.5 %), 263 (26.6 %), and 413 (41.9 %) were in the concordant positive, discordant, and concordant negative groups. During a median follow-up period of 417 (208-756) days, TVF occurred more frequently in the concordant positive group, followed by the discordant and concordant negative groups (7.7 % vs. 4.6 % vs. 2.4 %, p = 0.004). TVF increasingly accrued during long-term follow-up, while discordant results of RFR and resting Pd/Pa did not result in worse outcomes compared with negative RFR and resting Pd/Pa. CONCLUSION The combined assessment of FFR with RFR and resting Pd/Pa stratified TVF risks in vessels with intermediate coronary stenosis.

Prehospital tirofiban increases the rate of disrupted myocardial infarction in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: insights from the On-TIME 2 trial. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR CARE 2024; 13:595-601. [PMID: 38845559 PMCID: PMC11350433 DOI: 10.1093/ehjacc/zuae074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024]
Abstract
AIMS In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), prehospital tirofiban significantly improved myocardial reperfusion. However, its impact on the rate of disrupted myocardial infarction (MI), particularly in the context of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays, is still unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS The On-TIME 2 (Ongoing Tirofiban In Myocardial infarction Evaluation 2) trial randomly assigned STEMI patients to prehospital tirofiban or placebo before transportation to a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centre. In this post hoc analysis, we evaluated STEMI patients that underwent primary PCI and had measured hs-cTn levels. Troponin T levels were collected at 18-24 and 72-96 h after PCI. Disrupted MI was defined as peak hs-cTn T levels ≤ 10 times the upper limit of normal (≤140 ng/L). Out of 786 STEMI patients, 47 (6%) had a disrupted MI. Disrupted MI occurred in 31 of 386 patients (8.0%) in the tirofiban arm and in 16 of 400 patients (4.0%) in the placebo arm (P = 0.026). After multivariate adjustment, prehospital tirofiban remained independently associated with disrupted MI (odds ratio 2.03; 95% confidence interval 1.10-3.87; P = 0.027). None of the patients with disrupted MI died during the 1-year follow-up, compared with a mortality rate of 2.6% among those without disrupted MI. CONCLUSION Among STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, the use of prehospital tirofiban was independently associated with a higher rate of disrupted MI. These results, highlighting a potential benefit, underscore the need for future research focusing on innovative pre-treatment approaches that may increase the rate of disrupted MI.

Complete vs Culprit-Only Revascularization in Older Patients With Myocardial Infarction With or Without ST-Segment Elevation. J Am Coll Cardiol 2024:S0735-1097(24)07984-1. [PMID: 39217557 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2024.07.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of complete revascularization is well established in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but it is less investigated in those with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess whether complete revascularization, compared with culprit-only revascularization, was associated with consistent outcomes in older patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. METHODS In the FIRE (Functional Assessment in Elderly MI Patients with Multivessel Disease) trial, 1,445 older patients with myocardial infarction (MI) were randomized to culprit-only or physiology-guided complete revascularization, stratified by STEMI (n = 256 culprit-only vs n = 253 complete) and NSTEMI (n = 469 culprit-only vs n = 467 complete). The primary outcome comprised a composite of death, MI, stroke, or revascularization at 1 year. The key secondary outcome included a composite of cardiovascular death or MI at 1 year. RESULTS In the overall study population, physiology-guided complete revascularization reduced both primary and key secondary outcomes. The primary outcome occurred in 54 (21.1%) STEMI patients randomized to culprit-only vs 41 (16.2%) STEMI patients of the complete group (HR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.50-1.13) and in 98 (20.9%) NSTEMI patients randomized to culprit-only vs 72 (15.4%) NSTEMI patients of the complete group (HR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.53-0.97), with negative interaction testing (P for interaction, 0.846). Similarly, no signal of heterogeneity with respect to the initial clinical presentation was observed for the key secondary endpoint (P for interaction, 0.654). CONCLUSIONS Physiology-guided complete revascularization, compared with culprit-only revascularization, provided consistent benefit across the whole spectrum of patients with MI.

Outcomes of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation in patients with acute coronary syndromes. EUROINTERVENTION 2024; 20:996-1007. [PMID: 39155759 PMCID: PMC11317829 DOI: 10.4244/eij-d-23-01049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is frequently accompanied by newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). AIMS We aimed to compare the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in ACS patients presenting with known, newly diagnosed, or no AF. METHODS In our multicentre, prospective registry study, we included patients with confirmed ACS. Patients are classified as having known, newly diagnosed or no AF. Newly diagnosed AF is subdivided according to the duration of the episode, time of onset, post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or spontaneous occurrence, and treatment with oral anticoagulants (OAC). The primary endpoint is MACE at 1 year. Key secondary endpoints include ischaemic stroke and bleeding complications. RESULTS Amongst 4,433 patients with confirmed ACS, 3,598 (81.2%) had no AF, 438 (9.9%) had newly diagnosed AF, and 397 (9.0%) had known AF. The rates of OAC treatment at discharge were 53.4% in patients with newly diagnosed AF and 89.2% in patients with known AF. After adjusting for baseline imbalances, only new AF was independently associated with increased rates of MACE, whereas known AF was not (hazard ratio [HR] 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-1.90 and HR 0.93, 95% CI: 0.70-1.23). For ACS patients with newly diagnosed AF, episodes lasting >24 hours were associated with a higher risk of MACE compared to episodes <24 hours (HR 1.99, 95% CI: 1.36-2.93). Episodes of new AF occurring post-CABG had more favourable outcomes compared to spontaneously occurring new AF (HR for MACE 0.52, 95% CI: 0.31-0.86). OAC treatment rates were higher in the new AF subcategories with higher rates of MACE and ischaemic stroke. CONCLUSIONS Newly diagnosed AF in ACS patients was associated with higher rates of MACE and ischaemic stroke compared to ACS patients without or with known AF. Among the ACS patients with new AF, an episode lasting >24 hours was associated with worse outcomes than shorter episodes, while post-CABG occurrence of AF showed relatively better outcomes compared to spontaneously occurring AF. Only 53% of new AF patients were discharged on OAC therapy versus 89% with known AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) increase the risk of adverse cardiac events in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). This study aimed to evaluate the combined risk estimates of DM and CMD, assessed by the angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR), in patients with NSTEMI. METHODS A total of 2212 patients with NSTEMI who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were retrospectively enrolled from three centers. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiac death or readmission for heart failure at a 2-year follow-up. RESULTS Post-PCI angio-IMR did not significantly differ between the DM group and the non-DM group (20.13 [17.91-22.70] vs. 20.19 [18.14-22.77], P = 0.530). DM patients exhibited a notably higher risk of cardiac death or readmission for heart failure at 2 years compared to non-DM patients (9.5% vs. 5.4%, P < 0.001). NSTEMI patients with both DM and CMD experienced the highest cumulative incidence of cardiac death or readmission for heart failure at 2 years (24.0%, P < 0.001). The combination of DM and CMD in NSTEMI patients were identified as the most powerful independent predictor for cardiac death or readmission for heart failure at 2 years (adjusted HR: 7.894, [95% CI, 4.251-14.659], p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients with NSTEMI, the combination of DM and CMD is an independent predictor of cardiac death or readmission for heart failure. Angio-IMR could be used as an additional evaluation tool for the management of NSTEMI patients with DM. TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov ; Unique identifier: NCT05696379.

The impact of stress testing to guide PCI in patients with chronic coronary disease. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024:S1553-8389(24)00623-7. [PMID: 39174434 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2024.08.010] [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: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines and international appropriate use criteria increasingly endorse non-invasive stress testing to evaluate patients with suspected chronic coronary disease (CCD). We sought to review the real-world utilisation of non-invasive stress testing and investigate whether their use prior to PCI associates with outcomes in patients with CCD. METHODS Consecutive patients from a multicentre registry who underwent PCI for CCD between 2006 and 2018 were included. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were stratified according to whether stress testing was performed prior to PCI (stress vs no-stress groups). The primary outcome was 3-year all-cause mortality. RESULTS Among the 8251 patients included, 4970 (60.2 %) underwent pre-PCI stress testing and this proportion increased over time (p-for-trend<0.001). The stress group had a lower prevalence of prior revascularization, myocardial infarction, or heart failure, and a lower incidence of triple vessel disease, in stent re-stenosis, and ACC/AHA class B2/C lesions (all p < 0.001). When comparing post-procedural outcomes, the stress group had lower rates of arrhythmia (1.5 % vs 2.6 %, p = 0.001), new heart failure (0.2 % vs 0.8 %, p = 0.001), renal impairment, and a shorter length of stay (1.6 vs 2.1 days, p < 0.001). Mortality at 3-years was lower in those undergoing PCI following stress testing (5.8 % vs 8.8 %, p < 0.001). After adjusting for key clinical variables, stress guided revascularization was associated with a significantly lower risk of 3-year mortality (adjusted Hazard Ratio 0.77, 95 % CI 0.64-0.92). CONCLUSIONS In patients with CCD, PCI guided by non-invasive stress testing is increasingly utilized and associated with improved survival. Further studies are necessary to investigate whether this results from differences in patient characteristics, optimized patient selection, or refined choice of target vessel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with intravascular ultrasound guidance, there is limited evidence for optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. AIMS We investigated the role of OCT in guiding a reperfusion strategy and improving the long-term prognosis of STEMI patients. METHODS All patients who were diagnosed with STEMI and who underwent pPCI between January 2017 and December 2020 were enrolled and divided into OCT-guided versus angiography-guided cohorts. They had routine follow-up for up to 5 years or until the time of the last known contact. All-cause death and cardiovascular death were designated as the primary and secondary endpoints, respectively. RESULTS A total of 3,897 patients were enrolled: 2,696 (69.2%) with OCT guidance and 1,201 (30.8%) with angiographic guidance. Patients in the OCT-guided cohort were less often treated with stenting during pPCI (62.6% vs 80.2%; p<0.001). The 5-year cumulative rates of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in the OCT-guided cohort were 10.4% and 8.0%, respectively, significantly lower than in the angiography-guided cohort (19.0% and 14.1%; both log-rank p<0.001). All 4 multivariate models showed that OCT guidance could significantly reduce 5-year all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] in model 4: 0.689, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.551-0.862) and cardiovascular mortality (HR in model 4: 0.692, 95% CI: 0.536-0.895). After propensity score matching, the benefits of OCT guidance were consistent in terms of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.707, 95% CI: 0.548-0.913) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 0.709, 95% CI: 0.526-0.955). CONCLUSIONS Compared with angiography alone, OCT guidance may change reperfusion strategies and lead to better long-term survival in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI. Findings in the current observational study should be further corroborated in randomised trials.

Sex-Related Differences in Life Expectancy Compared to General Population after Surgery for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4554. [PMID: 39124820 PMCID: PMC11313614 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13154554] [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: 07/01/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Understanding sex-based differences in cardiovascular outcomes is paramount to improving clinical outcomes. Surgery is an aggressive but effective therapy for ascending aortic aneurysm. We sought to determine if being a woman is a risk factor for long-term mortality after this surgery. We compared their life expectancy with a general population of the same age, sex, year, and region. Methods: We compared men and women undergoing AAA surgery at our institution from 2000 to 2019. After balancing the population with propensity score (PS) matching, we compared long-term mortality control with a Cox regression. We determined the RS using the Ederer II method and compared it to a healthy reference population of the same age, sex, and region. Results: From 2000 to 2019, 232 women and 506 men underwent ascending aortic aneurysm surgery. After a mean follow-up of 51.5 ± 34.5 months, sex was not an independent risk factor for long-term mortality in the multivariable analysis [HR: 0.68 (95% CI 0.43-1.07, p = 0.23)]. Matching by baseline characteristics, 196 pairs were analyzed with no differences regarding mortality in the Cox regression [HR: 1.11 (95% CI 0.65-1.9, p = 0.23)]. Men and women who survived the postoperative period presented a relative survival of 100.3% (95% CI 97.4-101%) and 100.3% (95% CI 98.9-101.1%), respectively, similar to the reference population without the disease. Conclusions: For patients undergoing AAA surgery, sex was not an independent predictor of mortality. Men and women who survived the postoperative period presented a similar life expectancy to that of the reference population (people free from the disease of the same age, sex, year, and region).

One-Month Duration Compared with Twelve-Month Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Elective Angioplasty for Coronary Artery Disease: Bleeding and Ischaemic Outcomes. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4521. [PMID: 39124787 PMCID: PMC11312761 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13154521] [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: 07/09/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The need to determine the safest duration of dual antiplatelet therapy duration after elective angioplasty to reduce bleeding events without an adverse effect on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) remains a challenge. Methods: In this investigator-initiated, single-centre cohort study, we identified all patients who underwent PCI for de novo coronary disease for stable angina between January 2015 and November 2019. We compared 1-month and 12-month durations of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to determine if there was any difference in the primary outcome of major bleeding. The secondary outcome was a patient-oriented composite endpoint of all-cause mortality; any myocardial infarction, stroke, or revascularisation; and the individual components of this composite endpoint. Data were analysed using Cox regression models and cumulative hazard plots. Results: A total of 1025 patients were analysed, of which 340 received 1 month of DAPT and 685 received 12 months of DAPT. There was no difference in major bleeding between the two groups (2.6% vs. 2.5% respectively). On univariable cox regression analysis, no characteristics were predictors of major bleeding. A proportion of 99.7% of patients in the 1-month DAPT arm were treated with a DCB strategy, whilst 93% in the 12-month DAPT group were treated with a DES. There was no difference between the two groups with regards to the composite patient-oriented MACE (11% vs. 12%, respectively) or any individual component of this. These results were unchanged after propensity score matched analysis. Conclusions: A 1-month duration of DAPT, for which 99.7% of patients were treated with a DCB strategy, appears safe and effective when compared with a 12-month duration of DAPT with no difference in major bleeding or MACE.

Minerva Cardiol Angiol 2024; 72:355-365.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The latest generation ultrathin Supraflex Cruz (Sahajanand Medical Technologies Limited, Surat, India) sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) has shown early healing properties and represents an attractive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) device in a high bleeding risk (HBR) population. The aim of this Cruz HBR registry was to assess safety and efficacy of the Supraflex Cruz SES in a large cohort of all-comer patients, of whom about one third were patients at HBR. METHODS Patients undergoing PCI were enrolled in this prospective, multi-centre, open label registry and stratified into non-HBR and HBR groups. The primary endpoint was a device-oriented composite endpoint (DOCE), a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction not clearly attributable to a non-target vessel and clinically driven target lesion revascularization within 12 months after PCI. The predefined aims were to show non-inferiority of the non-HBR group to the Supraflex arm of the TALENT Trial, and of the HBR group to polymer-free biolimus-coated stent arm of LEADERS FREE Trial. RESULTS A total of 1203 patients were enrolled across 26 European centers, including a significant proportion (38.7%; N.=466) of HBR patients. A total of 1745 lesions were treated in 1203 patients and 2235 stents were implanted. The DOCE occurred within the total cohort in 5.8% of patients with a significant difference between HBR patients and non-HBR patients (8.1% vs. 4.4%; P<0.001). All-cause mortality at 12 months was significantly (P<0.0001) different among HBR (9.0%) and non-HBR patients (1.7%), respectively. At 12 months, the overall incidence of definite and probable stent thrombosis was 1.0%. Major bleeding occurred in 5.9% patients of the HBR group. These results met the non-inferiority criteria with respect to the TALENT trial for the non-HBR group (P<0.0001), and the LEADERS FREE trial for the HBR group (P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The Cruz HBR registry confirms that PCI with the Supraflex Cruz SES is associated with a favorable clinical outcome in an all-comer population, including complex patients with HBR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Angiographic assessment of coronary stenosis severity using quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) is often inconsistent with that based on fractional flow reserve (FFR) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). We investigated the incidence of discrepancies between QCA and FFR or IVUS, and the outcomes of FFR- and IVUS-guided strategies in discordant coronary lesions. METHODS This study was a post-hoc analysis of the FLAVOUR study. We used a QCA-derived diameter stenosis (DS) of 60% or greater, the highest tertile, to classify coronary lesions as concordant or discordant with FFR or IVUS criteria for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The patient-oriented composite outcome (POCO) was defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction, or revascularization at 24 months. RESULTS The discordance rate between QCA and FFR or IVUS was 30.2% (n=551). The QCA-FFR discordance rate was numerically lower than the QCA-IVUS discordance rate (28.2% vs. 32.4%, p=0.050). In 200 patients with ≥60% DS, PCI was deferred according to negative FFR (n=141) and negative IVUS (n=59) (15.3% vs. 6.5%, p<0.001). The POCO incidence was comparable between the FFR- and IVUS-guided deferral strategies (5.9% vs. 3.4%, p=0.479). Conversely, 351 patients with DS <60% underwent PCI according to positive FFR (n=118) and positive IVUS (n=233) (12.8% vs. 25.9%, p<0.001). FFR- and IVUS-guided PCI did not differ in the incidence of POCO (9.5% vs. 6.5%, p=0.294). CONCLUSIONS The proportion of QCA-FFR or IVUS discordance was approximately one third for intermediate coronary lesions. FFR- or IVUS-guided strategies for these lesions were comparable with respect to POCO at 24 months. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02673424.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor (clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor) is indicated after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to reduce the risk of atherothrombotic events. Approximately 30% of the US population has a CYP2C19 no-function allele that reduces the effectiveness of clopidogrel, but not prasugrel or ticagrelor, after PCI. We have shown improved outcomes with the integration of CYP2C19 genotyping into clinical care to guide the selection of prasugrel or ticagrelor in CYP2C19 no-function allele carriers. However, the influence of patient-specific demographic, clinical, and other genetic factors on outcomes with genotype-guided DAPT has not been defined. In addition, the impact of genotype-guided de-escalation from prasugrel or ticagrelor to clopidogrel in patients without a CYP2C19 no-function allele has not been investigated in a diverse, real-world clinical setting. The Precision Antiplatelet Therapy after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (Precision PCI) Registry is a multicenter US registry of patients who underwent PCI and clinical CYP2C19 testing. The registry is enrolling a diverse population, assessing atherothrombotic and bleeding events over 12 months, collecting DNA samples, and conducting platelet function testing in a subset of patients. The registry aims to define the influence of African ancestry and other patient-specific factors on clinical outcomes with CYP2C19-guided DAPT, evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CYP2C19-guided DAPT de-escalation following PCI in a real-world setting, and identify additional genetic influences of clopidogrel response after PCI, with the ultimate goal of establishing optimal strategies for individualized antiplatelet therapy that improves outcomes in a diverse, real-world population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether procedural myocardial infarction (pMI) and spontaneous myocardial infarction (spMI) have a similar impact on prognosis. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess mortality after pMI and spMI. METHODS Patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and baseline troponin ≤1× the upper reference level (URL) or with acute spMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included. PMI was defined as post-PCI troponin increase >1× URL in patients with CCS. SpMI comprised any acute coronary syndrome with elevated troponin. The 1-year risk of all-cause death was assessed after pMI and spMI across 3 strata of troponin elevation (>1-5×, >5-35×, and >35× URL), with CCS patients having post-PCI troponin ≤1× URL as a reference group. Conventional troponin I was measured using the Architect methodology (Abbott). RESULTS Among 10,707 patients undergoing PCI from 2012 to 2020, 8,515 patients presented with CCS and 2,192 with spMI. Among CCS patients, 913 (10.7%) had pMI. Troponin peaks >1-5×, >5-35×, and >35× URL were observed in 53%, 41%, and 6% of patients with pMI, and in 24%, 38%, and 37% of patients with spMI, respectively. Mortality at 1 year was higher after pMI (7.7%; adjusted HR: 4.40; 95% CI: 1.59-12.2), and spMI (8.5%; adjusted HR: 7.57; 95% CI: 5.44-10.5) with troponin peak >35× URL compared with no-MI (1.4%). Mortality was also increased after spMI with troponin peak >1-5× or >5-35× URL. CONCLUSIONS Mortality at 1 year was significantly increased after pMI and spMI with troponin peak >35× URL, whereas for troponin levels ≤35× only spMI had a relevant impact on mortality.

The Usefulness of Coregistration with iFR in Tandem or Long Diffuse Coronary Lesions: The iLARDI Randomized Clinical Trial. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4342. [PMID: 39124613 PMCID: PMC11313554 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13154342] [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: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background. Despite technical advancements, patients with sequential or diffuse coronary lesions undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have an increased risk of cardiovascular events at follow-up. We aimed to analyze the utility of a SyncVision/iFR (S-iFR)-guided PCI strategy versus an angiography-guided strategy in patients with this type of lesions. Methods. Randomized, multicenter, controlled, and open-label trial to compare S-iFR versus angiography-guided PCI in patients with sequential or diffuse angiographic coronary stenosis (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04283734). The primary endpoint was the implanted stent length. The main secondary endpoint was targeting vessel failure (TVF) at one year. Results. A total of 100 patients underwent randomization, with 49 patients assigned to the S-iFR group and 51 to the angiography-guided PCI group. There were no differences between groups regarding clinical and anatomical characteristics. The baseline iFR was 0.71 ± 0.16 vs. 0.67 ± 0.19 (p = 0.279) in the S-iFR and angiography group, respectively. The mean lesion length was 42.3 ± 12 mm and 39.8 ± 12 (p = 0.297). The implanted stent length was 32.7 ± 17.2 mm in the S-iFR group and 43.1 ± 14.9 mm in the angiography group (mean difference, -10.4 mm; 95% confidence interval [CI], -16.9 to -4.0; p = 0.002). At one year, target vessel failure (TVF) occurred in four patients: three (6.1%) in the S-iFR group vs. one (1.9%) in the angiography group (p = 0.319). Conclusions. Among patients with sequential or long diffuse coronary lesions, a S-iFR-guided PCI strategy resulted in a reduction of the total stent length compared to an angiography-guided PCI strategy. A nonsignificant increase in TVF was observed in the S-iFR group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often present a worse risk profile and experience a higher rate of in-hospital mortality than men. However, sex differences in post-discharge prognoses remain inadequately investigated. We examined the impact of sex on 1-year post-discharge outcomes in patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS We extracted patient-level data for the period January 2017-December 2018 from the J-PCI OUTCOME Registry, endorsed by the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics. One-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events were compared between men and women. In all, 29,856 AMI patients were studied, with 6,996 (23.4%) being women. Women were significantly older and had a higher prevalence of comorbidities than men. Crude all-cause mortality was significantly higher among women than men (7.5% vs. 5.4% [P<0.001] for ST-elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]; 7.0% vs. 5.2% [P=0.006] for non-STEMI). These sex-related differences in post-discharge outcomes were attenuated after stratification by age. Multivariate analysis demonstrated an increase in all-cause mortality in both sexes with increasing age and advanced-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). CONCLUSIONS Within this nationwide cohort, women had worse clinical outcomes following AMI than men. However, these sex-related differences in outcomes diminished after adjusting for age. In addition, CKD was significantly associated with all-cause mortality in both sexes.

OCT-Guided vs Angiography-Guided Coronary Stent Implantation in Complex Lesions: An ILUMIEN IV Substudy. J Am Coll Cardiol 2024; 84:368-378.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ILUMIEN IV was the first large-scale, multicenter, randomized trial comparing optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided vs angiography-guided stent implantation in patients with high-risk clinical characteristics and/or complex angiographic lesions. OBJECTIVES The authors aimed to specifically examine outcomes in the complex angiographic lesions subgroup. METHODS From the original trial population (N = 2,487), high-risk patients without complex angiographic lesions were excluded (n = 514). Complex angiographic lesion characteristics included: 1) long or multiple lesions with intended total stent length ≥28 mm; 2) bifurcation lesion with intended 2-stent strategy; 3) severely calcified lesion; 4) chronic total occlusion; or 5) in-stent restenosis. The study endpoints were: 1) final minimal stent area (MSA); 2) 2-year composite of serious major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) (cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction [MI], or stent thrombosis); and 3) 2-year effectiveness, defined as target-vessel failure (TVF), a composite of cardiac death, target-vessel MI, or ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization. RESULTS The postpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) MSA was larger in the OCT-guided (n = 992) vs angiography-guided (n = 981) group (5.56 ± 1.95 mm2 vs 5.26 ± 1.81 mm2; difference, 0.30; 95% CI: 0.14-0.47; P < 0.001). Compared with angiography-guided PCI, OCT-guided PCI resulted in a lower risk of serious MACE (3.1% vs 4.9%; HR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.40-0.99; P = 0.04). TVF was not significantly different between groups (7.3% vs 8.8%; HR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.59-1.12; P = 0.20). CONCLUSIONS In complex angiographic lesions, OCT-guided PCI led to a larger MSA and reduced the serious MACE, the composite of cardiac death, target-vessel MI, or stent thrombosis, compared with angiography-guided PCI at 2 years, but did not significantly improve TVF.

Completeness of revascularization by FFR CT in stable angina: Association to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. J Cardiovasc Comput Tomogr 2024:S1934-5925(24)00395-2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of complete coronary revascularization relative to non-invasive testing methods is unknown. OBJECTIVES To assess the association between completeness of revascularization defined by CTA-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with stable angina. METHODS Multicenter 3-year follow-up study of patients with new onset stable angina and ≥ 30% stenosis by CTA. The lesion-specific FFRCT value (two cm-distal-to-stenosis) was registered in all vessels with stenosis and considered abnormal when ≤ 0.80. Patients with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 were categorized as: Completely revascularized (CR-FFRCT), all vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 revascularized; incompletely revascularized (IR-FFRCT), ≥ 1 vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 non-revascularized. Early revascularization (< 90 days from index CTA) categorized vessels as revascularized. The primary endpoint comprised cardiovascular death and non-fatal myocardial infarction; the secondary endpoint vessel-specific late revascularization and non-fatal myocardial infarction. RESULTS Amongst 900 patients and 1759 vessels, FFRCT was ≤ 0.80 in 377 (42%) patients, 536 (30%) vessels; revascularization was performed in 244 (27%) patients, 340 (19%) vessels. Risk of the primary endpoint was higher for IR-FFRCT (15/210 [7.1%]) compared to CR-FFRCT (4/167 [2.4%]), RR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.01-8.8, p = 0.036, and to normal FFRCT (3/523 [0.6%]), RR: 12.45; 95% CI: 3.6-42.6, p < 0.001. Incidence of the secondary endpoint was higher in non-revascularized vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 (29/250 [12%]) compared to revascularized vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 (5/286 [1.7%]), p = 0.001, and to vessels with FFRCT > 0.80 (10/1223 [0.8%]), p < 0.001. CONCLUSION Incomplete revascularization of patients with lesion-specific FFRCT ≤ 0.80 is associated to unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes compared to those with complete revascularization or FFRCT > 0.80.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of glycemic control in the risk of stent failure in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is currently unknown. OBJECTIVES This study sought to study whether poor glycemic control is associated with a higher risk of stent failure in subjects with T2D. METHODS This observational study included all patients in Sweden with T2D who underwent implantation of second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) during 2010 to 2020. The exposure variable was the updated mean of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Individuals were stratified by glycemic control, with HbA1c 6.1% to 7.0% (43-53 mmol/mol) as the reference group. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of stent failure (in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis). The main result was analyzed in a complete cases model. Sensitivity analyses were performed for missing data and a model with death as a competing risk. RESULTS The study population consisted of 52,457 individuals (70,453 DES). The number of complete cases was 24,411 (29,029 DES). The median follow-up was 6.4 years. The fully adjusted HR was 1.10 (95% CI: 0.80-1.52) for HbA1c of ≤5.5% (≤37 mmol/mol), 1.02 (95% CI: 0.85-1.23) for HbA1c of 5.6% to 6.0% (38-42 mmol/mol), 1.25 (95% CI: 1.11-1.41) for HbA1c of 7.1% to 8.0% (54-64 mmol/mol), 1.30 (95% CI: 1.13-1.51) for HbA1c of 8.1% to 9.0% (65-75 mmol/mol), 1.46 (95% CI: 1.21-1.76) for HbA1c of 9.1% to 10.0% (76-86 mmol/mol), and 1.33 (95% CI: 1.06-1.66) for HbA1c of ≥10.1% (≥87 mmol/mol). Sensitivity analyses did not change the main result. CONCLUSIONS We found a significant association between poor glycemic control and a higher risk of stent failure driven by in-stent restenosis.

Platelet-fibrin clot strength and platelet reactivity predicting cardiovascular events after percutaneous coronary interventions. Eur Heart J 2024; 45:2217-2231. [PMID: 38804262 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae296] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Platelet-fibrin clot strength (PFCS) is linked to major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) risk. However, the association between PFCS and platelet reactivity and their prognostic implication remains uncertain in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS In PCI-treated patients (n = 2512) from registry data from January 2010 to November 2018 in South Korea, PFCS using thromboelastography and platelet reactivity using VerifyNow were measured. High PFCS (PFCSHigh) was defined as thromboelastography maximal amplitude ≥ 68 mm, and high platelet reactivity (HPR) was defined as >208 P2Y12 reaction units. Patients were stratified into four groups according to maximal amplitude and P2Y12 reaction unit levels: (i) normal platelet reactivity (NPR)-PFCSNormal (31.8%), (ii) HPR-PFCSNormal (29.0%), (iii) NPR-PFCSHigh (18.1%), and (iv) HPR-PFCSHigh (21.1%). Major adverse cardiovascular event (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) and major bleeding were followed up to 4 years. RESULTS High platelet reactivity and PFCSHigh showed an additive effect for clinical outcomes (log-rank test, P < .001). Individuals with NPR-PFCSNormal, NPR-PFCSHigh, HPR-PFCSNormal, and HPR-PFCSHigh demonstrated MACE incidences of 7.5%, 12.6%, 13.4%, and 19.3%, respectively. The HPR-PFCSHigh group showed significantly higher risks of MACE compared with the NPR-PFCSNormal group [adjusted hazard ratio (HRadj) 1.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23-2.91; P = .004] and the HPR-PFCSNormal group (HRadj 1.60; 95% CI 1.12-2.27; P = .009). Similar results were observed for all-cause death. Compared with HPR-PFCSNormal phenotype, NPR-PFCSNormal phenotype was associated with a higher risk of major bleeding (HRadj 3.12; 95% CI 1.30-7.69; P = .010). CONCLUSIONS In PCI patients, PFCS and platelet reactivity demonstrated important relationships in predicting clinical prognosis. Their combined assessment may enhance post-PCI risk stratification for personalized antithrombotic therapy.

Sex-Specific Troponin and Creatine Kinase Thresholds After Coronary Bypass Surgery. Ann Thorac Surg 2024:S0003-4975(24)00538-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of sex-differences on the release of cardiac biomarkers after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains unknown. The aim of our study was to (1) investigate the impact of sex-differences in cardiac biomarker release after CABG and (2) determine sex-specific thresholds for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) and creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) associated with 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality. METHODS A consecutive cohort of 3687 patients, comprising 643 women (17.4%) and 3044 men (82.6%), undergoing CABG from 2008 to 2021 in 2 tertiary university centers with serial postoperative cTn and CK-MB measurement was analyzed. The composite primary outcome was MACE at 30 days. Secondary end points were 30-day mortality and 5-year mortality and MACE. Sex-specific thresholds for cTn and CK-MB were determined. RESULTS Lower levels of cTn were found in women after CABG (69.18 vs 77.57 times the upper reference limit [URL]; P < .001). The optimal threshold value for cTn was calculated at 94.36 times the URL for female patients and 206.07 times the URL for male patients to predict 30-day MACE. Female patients missed by a general threshold had increased risk for MACE or death within 30 days (cTn: MACE: odds ratio [OR], 3.78; 95% CI, 1.03-13.08; P = .035; death: OR, 4.98; 95% CI, 1.20-20.61; P = .027; CK-MB: MACE: OR, 10.04; 95% CI, 2.07-48.75; P < .001; death: OR 13.59; 95% CI, 2.66-69.47; P = .002). CONCLUSIONS We provide evidence for sex-specific differences in the outcome and biomarker release after CABG. Sex-specific cutoffs are necessary for the diagnosis of perioperative myocardial injury to improve outcomes of women after CABG.

Diagnosis and treatment of ischemia-producing coronary stenoses improves 5-year survival of patients undergoing major vascular surgery. J Vasc Surg 2024; 80:240-248. [PMID: 38518962 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2024.02.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients undergoing vascular surgery procedures have poor long-term survival due to coexisting coronary artery disease (CAD), which is often asymptomatic, undiagnosed, and undertreated. We sought to determine whether preoperative diagnosis of asymptomatic (silent) coronary ischemia using coronary computed tomography (CT)-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) together with postoperative ischemia-targeted coronary revascularization can reduce adverse cardiac events and improve long-term survival following major vascular surgery METHODS: In this observational cohort study of 522 patients with no known CAD undergoing elective carotid, peripheral, or aneurysm surgery we compared two groups of patients. Group I included 288 patients enrolled in a prospective Institutional Review Board-approved study of preoperative coronary CT angiography (CTA) and FFRCT testing to detect silent coronary ischemia with selective postoperative coronary revascularization in addition to best medical therapy (BMT) (FFRCT guided), and Group II included 234 matched controls with standard preoperative cardiac evaluation and postoperative BMT alone with no elective coronary revascularization (Usual Care). In the FFRCT group, lesion-specific coronary ischemia was defined as FFRCT ≤0.80 distal to a coronary stenosis, with severe ischemia defined as FFRCT ≤0.75. Results were available for patient management decisions. Endpoints included all-cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE [death, MI, or stroke]) during 5-year follow-up. RESULTS The two groups were similar in age, gender, and comorbidities. In FFRCT, 65% of patients had asymptomatic lesion-specific coronary ischemia, with severe ischemia in 52%, multivessel ischemia in 36% and left main ischemia in 8%. The status of coronary ischemia was unknown in Usual Care. Vascular surgery was performed as planned in both cohorts with no difference in 30-day mortality. In FFRCT, elective ischemia-targeted coronary revascularization was performed in 103 patients 1 to 3 months following surgery. Usual Care had no elective postoperative coronary revascularizations. At 5 years, compared with Usual Care, FFRCT guided had fewer all-cause deaths (16% vs 36%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.22-0.60; P < .001), fewer cardiovascular deaths (4% vs 21%; HR, 0.11; 95% CI, 0.04-0.33; P < .001), fewer MIs (4% vs 24%; HR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.05-0.33; P < .001), and fewer MACE (20% vs 47%; HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.23-0.56; P < .001). Five-year survival was 84% in FFRCT compared with 64% in Usual Care (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis of silent coronary ischemia with ischemia-targeted coronary revascularization in addition to BMT following major vascular surgery was associated with fewer adverse cardiovascular events and improved 5-year survival compared with patients treated with BMT alone as per current guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between guideline-conforming as compared to shorter than recommended withdrawal period of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors prior to isolated on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and the incidence of severe bleeding and ischaemic events. Randomized controlled trials are lacking in this field. METHODS We searched PUBMED, Embase and other suitable databases for studies including patients on P2Y12 receptor inhibitors undergoing isolated CABG and reporting bleeding and postoperative ischaemic events from 2013 to March 2024. The primary outcome was incidence of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 4 (BARC-4) bleeding defined as any of the following: perioperative intracranial bleeding, reoperation for bleeding, transfusion of ≥5 units of red blood cells, chest tube output of ≥2 l. The secondary outcome was postoperative ischaemic events according to the Academic Research Consortium 2 Consensus Document. Patient-level data provided by each observational trial were synthesized into a single dataset and analysed using a 2-stage IPD-MA. RESULTS Individual data of 4837 patients from 7 observational studies were synthesized. BARC-4 bleeding, 30-day mortality and postoperative ischaemic events occurred in 20%, 2.6% and 5.2% of patients. After adjusting for EuroSCORE II and cardiopulmonary bypass time, guideline-conforming withdrawal was associated with decreased BARC-4 bleeding risk in patients on clopidogrel [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.48; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.28-0.81; P = 0.006] and a trend towards decreased risk in patients on ticagrelor (adjusted OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.22-1.05; P = 0.067). Guideline-conforming withdrawal was not significantly associated with 30-day mortality risk (clopidogrel: adjusted OR 0.70; 95% CI 0.30-1.61; ticagrelor: adjusted OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.37-2.18) but with decreased risk of postoperative ischaemic events in patients on clopidogrel (clopidogrel: adjusted OR 0.50; 95% CI 0.30-0.82; ticagrelor: adjusted OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.45-1.37). BARC-4 bleeding was associated with 30-day mortality risk (adjusted OR 4.76; 95% CI 2.67-8.47; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Guideline-conforming preoperative withdrawal of ticagrelor and clopidogrel was associated with a 50% reduced BARC-4 bleeding risk when corrected for EuroSCORE II and cardiopulmonary bypass time but was not associated with increased risk of 30-day mortality or postoperative ischaemic events.

Initial experience with a novel stent-based mechanical thrombectomy device for management of acute myocardial infarction cases with large thrombus burden. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2024; 39:262-272. [PMID: 38642291 PMCID: PMC11164735 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-024-00998-3] [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: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and large thrombus burden (LTB) still represent a challenge. Afflicted patients have a high morbidity and mortality. Aspiration thrombectomy is often ineffective in those cases. Mechanical thrombectomy devices (MTDs), which are effective for management of ischemic strokes, were recently CE-approved for treatment of thrombotic coronary lesions. Real-world data about their performance in AMI cases with LTB are scarce. This study sought to summarize our early experience with a novel MTD device in this context. METHODS We analyzed consecutive patients from the prospective OPTIMISER registry (NCT04988672), who have been managed with the NeVa™ MTD (Vesalio, USA) for AMI with LTB at a tertiary cardiology facility. Outcomes of interest included, among others, periprocedural complications, target lesion failure (TLF), target lesion revascularization (TLR) and target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI). RESULTS Overall, 15 patients underwent thrombectomy with the NeVa™ device. Thrombectomy was successfully performed in 14 (93%) patients. Final TIMI 3 flow was achieved in 13 (87%) patients, while 2 (13%) patients had TIMI 2 flow. We encountered no relevant periprocedural complications, especially no stroke, stent thrombosis or vessel closure. After a mean follow-up time of 26 ± 2.9 months, 1 (7%) patient presented with TLR due to stent thrombosis (10 months after treatment with the MTD and stenting). CONCLUSIONS In AMI patients with LTB, the deployment of the novel NeVa™ MTD seems efficient and safe. Further randomized trials are warranted to assess whether the use of the NeVa™ device in cases with LTB improves procedural and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with persistent renal dysfunction, the receipt of dialysis, dialysis dependence, and mortality. Accordingly, the concept of major adverse kidney events (MAKE) has been adopted as an endpoint for assessing the impact of AKI. However, applied criteria or observation periods for operationalizing MAKE appear to vary across studies. To evaluate this heterogeneity for MAKE evaluation, we performed a systematic scoping review of studies that employed MAKE as an AKI endpoint. Four major academic databases were searched, and we identified 122 studies with increasing numbers over time. We found marked heterogeneity in applied criteria and observation periods for MAKE across these studies, with some even lacking a description of criteria. Moreover, 13 different observation periods were employed, with 30 days and 90 days as the most common. Persistent renal dysfunction was evaluated by estimated glomerular filtration rate (34%) or serum creatinine concentration (48%); however, 37 different definitions for this component were employed in terms of parameters, cut-off criteria, and assessment periods. The definition for the dialysis component also showed significant heterogeneity regarding assessment periods and duration of dialysis requirement (chronic vs temporary). Finally, MAKE rates could vary by 7% [interquartile range: 1.7-16.7%] with different observation periods or by 36.4% with different dialysis component definitions. Our findings revealed marked heterogeneity in MAKE definitions, particularly regarding component assessment and observation periods. Dedicated discussion is needed to establish uniform and acceptable standards to operationalize MAKE in terms of selection and applied criteria of components, observation period, and reporting criteria for future trials on AKI and related conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The DESyne novolimus-eluting coronary stent (NES) is a new-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) that is widely used, but clinical data are rarely reported for this stent. We compared the safety and effectiveness of the DESyne NES and the Orsiro bioresorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center, observational study. Between July 2017 and December 2022, patients who presented with chronic or acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI with DESyne NES or Orsiro SES were consecutively enrolled in the present study. The primary endpoint, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), was a composite of cardiovascular death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven target-lesion revascularization. RESULTS A total of 776 patients (age 68.8 ± 12.2; 75.9% male) undergoing PCI were included. Overall, 231 patients with 313 lesions received NES and 545 patients with 846 lesions received SES. During a follow-up duration of 784 ± 522 days, the primary endpoint occurred in 10 patients (4.3%) in the NES group and in 36 patients (6.6%) in the SES group. After multivariate adjustment, the risk of MACE did not significantly differ between groups (NES vs. SES, hazard ratio 0.74, 95% CI, 0.35-1.55, p = 0.425). The event rate of individual components of the primary endpoint was comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Favorable and similar clinical outcomes were observed in patients undergoing PCI with either NES or SES in a medium-term follow-up duration. Future studies with adequately powered clinical endpoints are required for further evaluation.

Incidence and pattern of urgent revascularization in acute coronary syndromes treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel. Clin Res Cardiol 2024; 113:1060-1069. [PMID: 38740722 PMCID: PMC11219404 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-024-02454-x] [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: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Positive remodeling is an integral part of the vascular adaptation process during the development of atherosclerosis, which can be detected by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). METHODS A total of 426 patients who underwent both coronary CTA and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were included. Four machine learning (ML) models, gradient boosting machine (GBM), random forest (RF), deep learning (DL), and support vector machine (SVM), were employed to detect specific plaque features. A total of 15 plaque features assessed by OCT were analyzed. The variable importance ranking was used to identify the features most closely associated with positive remodeling. RESULTS In the variable importance ranking, lipid index and maximal calcification arc were consistently ranked high across all four ML models. Lipid index and maximal calcification arc were correlated with positive remodeling, showing pronounced influence at the lower range and diminishing influence at the higher range. Patients with more plaques with positive remodeling throughout their entire coronary trees had higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and were associated with a higher incidence of cardiovascular events during 5-year follow-up (Hazard ratio 2.10 [1.26-3.48], P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Greater lipid accumulation and less calcium burden were important features associated with positive remodeling in the coronary arteries. The number of coronary plaques with positive remodeling was associated with a higher incidence of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT) with aspirin, a P2Y12 inhibitor, and oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) raises concerns about increased bleeding. Regimens incorporating more potent P2Y12 inhibitors over clopidogrel have not been investigated adequately. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospective observational study was performed on 387 patients with AF receiving TAT for 1 month (n = 236) or ≤1 week (n = 151) after PCI. Major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were assessed up to 30 days post-procedure. RESULTS Bleeding was less frequent with ≤1 week versus 1 month of TAT (3.3 vs 9.3%; p = 0.025) while MACCE were similar (4.6 vs 4.7%; p = 0.998). No differences in bleeding or MACCE were observed between ticagrelor/prasugrel and clopidogrel regimens. For patients receiving ≤1 week of TAT, no excess of MACCE was seen in the subgroup given no further aspirin post-PCI compared with those given aspirin for up to 1 week (3.6 vs 5.2%). CONCLUSIONS TAT post-PCI for ≤1 week was associated with less bleeding despite greater use of ticagrelor/prasugrel but similar MACCE versus 1-month TAT. These findings support further studies on safety and efficacy of dual therapy with ticagrelor/prasugrel immediately after PCI.

Impact of Periprocedural Myocardial Injury on Long-Term Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Requiring Atherectomy. Am J Cardiol 2024; 222:1-7.

Abstract
The prognostic implications of cardiac troponin elevation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with atherectomy have not been established. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) and its association with cardiovascular events in patients with severely calcified lesions who underwent PCI with atherectomy. The study analyzed 346 patients (377 lesions) who underwent PCI with atherectomy between January 2018 and December 2021. Peak post-PCI high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) was measured. The primary outcome was target lesion failure (TLF), a composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and clinically driven target lesion revascularization. A lesion-based analysis was conducted to assess the association of PMI with TLF up to 5 years after PCI. Increase of hs-cTn was seen with 362 lesions (96%), and significant PMI, defined as hs-cTn increase ≥70 × upper reference limit, was seen with 83 lesions (22%). Significant PMI was associated with a significantly greater risk of TLF (adjusted hazard ratio 1.93, 95% confidence interval 1.12 to 3.30, p = 0.017), primarily driven by an increased risk of cardiovascular death (adjusted hazard ratio 5.29, 95% confidence interval 1.46 to 19.16, p = 0.011). In conclusion, hs-cTn increase was frequently observed in patients who underwent PCI with atherectomy, and significant PMI was associated with an increased risk of TLF and cardiovascular death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal timing of P2Y12 inhibitor administration in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been completely elucidating. OBJECTIVES This analysis from a prospective multicenter registry sought to assess the safety and effectiveness of P2Y12 inhibitor pretreatment in patients transferred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within a regional STEMI network. METHODS Pretreatment was defined as P2Y12 inhibitor administration before coronary angiography. Endpoints were major adverse cardiac events (MACE), major bleeding, and net adverse clinical events, a composite of MACE or major bleeding, within 30 days of index admission. Association of P2Y12 inhibitor pretreatment with outcomes was modeled using doubly robust weighted estimators based on propensity score analysis. RESULTS Of 1,624 patients included, 1,033 received P2Y12 inhibitors before angiography and 591 in the catheterization laboratory (cath lab). The non-pretreated cohort more often had history of coronary artery disease and were more likely to receive antiplatelet therapy before the index admission. After adjustment for confounding and dependent censoring, pretreatment with P2Y12 inhibitors predicted lower risk of MACE (adjusted HR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.37-0.76), without increasing bleeding risk (adjusted HR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.36-1.05), resulting in superior net clinical benefit (adjusted HR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.26-0.86) compared with in-cath lab administration of P2Y12 inhibitors. There was a significant treatment-by-time interaction for MACE risk, whereby the observed benefits of pretreatment only became apparent when time between P2Y12 inhibitor administration and PCI was longer than 80 minutes. CONCLUSIONS In contemporary patients with STEMI transferred for primary PCI, pretreatment with P2Y12 inhibitors was associated with a significant time-dependent reduction of 30-day MACE without increasing bleeding risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in the treatment of nonculprit vessels of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is a topic of ongoing discussion. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the predictive capability of QFR for adverse events and its noninferiority compared to wire-based functional assessment in nonculprit vessels of MI patients. METHODS The FIRE (Functional Assessment in Elderly MI Patients With Multivessel Disease) trial randomized 1,445 older MI patients to culprit-only (n = 725) or physiology-guided complete revascularization (n = 720). In the culprit-only arm, angiographic projections of nonculprit vessels were prospectively collected, centrally reviewed for QFR computation, and associated with endpoints. In the complete revascularization arm, endpoints were compared between nonculprit vessels investigated with QFR or wire-based functional assessment. The primary endpoint was the vessel-oriented composite endpoint (VOCE) at 1 year. RESULTS QFR was measured on 903 nonculprit vessels from 685 patients in the culprit-only arm. Overall, 366 (40.5%) nonculprit vessels showed a QFR value ≤0.80, with a significantly higher incidence of VOCEs (22.1% vs 7.1%; P < 0.001). QFR ≤0.80 emerged as an independent predictor of VOCEs (HR: 2.79; 95% CI: 1.64-4.75). In the complete arm, QFR was used in 320 (35.2%) nonculprit vessels to guide revascularization. When compared with propensity-matched nonculprit vessels in which treatment was guided by wire-based functional assessment, no significant difference was observed (HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.28-1.15) in VOCEs. CONCLUSIONS This prespecified subanalysis of the FIRE trial provides evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of QFR-guided interventions for the treatment of nonculprit vessels in MI patients.

Clinical outcomes with thin versus thick strut polymer-free biolimus-coated stents at 3 years. Open Heart 2024; 11:e002679. [PMID: 38890129 PMCID: PMC11191790 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2024-002679] [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: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND For high bleeding-risk patients (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the LEADERS FREE (LF) and LEADERS FREE II (LF II) trials established the safety and efficacy of a stainless steel polymer-free biolimus-coated stent (SS-BCS) with 30 days of dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT). The LEADERS FREE III (LF III) trial investigated clinical outcomes after PCI with the next-generation cobalt-chromium thin-strut polymer-free biolimus-coated stent (CoCr-BCS) in HBR patients. AIMS To report the final 3-year results of the LF III trial and compare them to LF II. METHODS LF III was a prospective, multicentre, open-label single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CoCr-BCS stent. The primary safety endpoint was the composite of cardiac death (CD), myocardial infarction(MI) or definite/probable stent thrombosis (ST). The primary efficacy endpoint was clinically driven target lesion revascularisation (cd-TLR). We performed a propensity-matched comparison to the 3-year outcomes of LF II. RESULTS After 3 years, CD/MI/ST had occurred in 57 patients (15%, 95% CI 11.8% to 19%) and cd-TLR in 23 (6.2%, 95% CI 4.1% to 9.2%) patients. In a propensity-matched comparison of patients treated with the CoCr-BCS versus the SS-BCS, there were similar rates of CD (6.6% vs 7.8%, p=0.50), MI (7.1% vs 8.3%, p=0.47) and definite/probable ST (1.1% vs 2%, HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.16 to 1.93, p=0.35). The rates of cd-TLR were 5.3% with CoCr-BCS versus 9.8% with SS-BCS (HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.96, p=0.03). CONCLUSION LF III confirms the long-term safety and efficacy of the CoCr-BCS in HBR patients treated with 1 month of DAPT. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02843633, NCT03118895.

Mechanism of Stent Failure in Patients With Eruptive Calcified Nodule Treated With Rotational Atherectomy. Can J Cardiol 2024:S0828-282X(24)00440-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for lesions with eruptive calcified nodules (CNs) is associated with worse outcomes compared with that for other calcified lesions. We aimed to clarify the relationship between eruptive CNs at index PCI, optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings at the 8-month follow-up, and clinical outcomes using serial OCT. METHODS This retrospective observational study used data from a prospective, single-centre registry. We conducted consecutive PCI for calcified lesions requiring rotational atherectomy (RA) with OCT guidance. We categorized 51 patients (54 lesions) into those with (16 patients [16 lesions]) and without eruptive CNs (35 patients [38 lesions]). RESULTS Post-PCI, stent expansion was comparable between the 2 groups, and CN-like protrusion was found in 75% of lesions with eruptive CNs. Follow-up OCT at 8 months revealed in-stent CNs in 54% of treated eruptive CN lesions, whereas lesions without eruptive CNs lacked in-stent CNs. Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that eruptive CN was associated with maximum neointimal tissue (NIT) thickness (regression coefficient 0.303; 95% confidence interval, 0.057-0.549; P = 0.02). Consequently, patients with eruptive CNs exhibited a higher clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate than did those without at 1 year (31.3% vs 2.9%, P = 0.009) and 5 years (43.8% vs 11.4%, P = 0.02). TLR primarily occurred in lesions with maximum eruptive CN arc angles > 180°. CONCLUSIONS Following RA treatment with acceptable stent expansion, eruptive CNs before PCI correlated with greater NIT formation with in-stent CNs, resulting in a higher TLR rate, particularly in lesions with maximum eruptive CN arc angles exceeding 180°.

Long-term prognostic implications of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1384981. [PMID: 38912344 PMCID: PMC11190319 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1384981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The long-term clinical effect of arterial stiffness in high-risk disease entities remains unclear. The prognostic implications of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) were assessed using a real-world registry that included patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Arterial stiffness was measured using baPWV before discharge. The primary outcome was net adverse clinical events (NACE), defined as a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or major bleeding. Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE: a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke), and major bleeding. The outcomes were assessed over a 4-year period. Results Patients (n = 3,930) were stratified into high- and low-baPWV groups based on a baPWV cut-off of 1891 cm/s determined through time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. baPWV was linearly correlated with 4-year post-PCI clinical events. The high baPWV group had a greater cumulative incidence of NACE, MACCE, and major bleeding. According to multivariable analysis, the high baPWV groups had a significantly greater risk of 4-year NACE (adjusted hazard ratio [HRadj]: 1.44; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-1.85; p = 0.004), MACCE (HRadj: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.07-1.83; p = 0.015), and major bleeding (HRadj: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.15-3.25; p = 0.012). Conclusion In PCI-treated patients, baPWV was significantly associated with long-term clinical outcomes, including ischemic and bleeding events, indicating its value for identifying high-risk phenotypes.

Prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Open Heart 2024; 11:e002733. [PMID: 38843905 PMCID: PMC11163639 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2024-002733] [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: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing awareness that patients without standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs; diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension and smoking) may represent a unique subset of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with those with SMuRFs. METHODS We analysed data from the Melbourne Interventional Group PCI Registry. Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital and 30-day events. Long-term mortality was investigated using Cox-proportional hazards regression. RESULTS From 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2020, 2727/18 988 (14.4%) patients were SMuRF less, with the proportion increasing over time. Mean age was similar for patients with and without SMuRFs (63 years), and fewer females were SMuRF-less (19.8% vs 25.4%, p<0.001). SMuRF-less patients were more likely to present with cardiac arrest (6.6% vs 3.9%, p<0.001) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (59.1% vs 50.8%, p<0.001) and were more likely to experience postprocedural cardiogenic shock (4.5% vs 3.6%, p=0.019) and arrhythmia (11.2% vs 9.9%, p=0.029). At 30 days, mortality, myocardial infarction, revascularisation and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events did not differ between the groups. During median follow-up of 7 years, SMuRF-less patients had an adjusted 13% decreased rate of mortality (HR 0.87 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.97)). CONCLUSIONS The proportion of SMuRF-less patients increased over time. Presentation was more often a devastating cardiac event compared with those with SMuRFs. No difference in 30-day outcomes was observed and SMuRF-less patients had lower hazard for long-term mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients may prefer percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, despite heart team recommendations. The outcomes in such patients have not been examined. We sought to examine the results of PCI in patients who were recommended for but declined CABG. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients with stable ischemic heart disease and unprotected left main or 3-vessel disease or Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery score >22 who underwent PCI after heart team review between 2013 and 2020 were included. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to heart team recommendations on the basis of appropriate use criteria: (1) PCI-recommended; (2) CABG-eligible but refused CABG (CABG-refusal); and (3) CABG-ineligible. The primary end point was the composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke at 1 year. The study included 3687 patients undergoing PCI (PCI-recommended, n=1718 [46.6%]), CABG-refusal (n=1595 [43.3%]), and CABG-ineligible (n=374 [10.1%]). Clinical and procedural risk increased across the 3 groups, with the highest comorbidity burden in CABG-ineligible patients. Composite events within 1 year after PCI occurred in 55 (4.1%), 91 (7.0%), and 41 (14.8%) of patients in the PCI-recommended, CABG-refusal, and CABG-ineligible groups, respectively. After multivariable adjustment, the risk of the primary composite outcome was significantly higher in the CABG-refusal (hazard ratio [HR], 1.67 [95% CI, 1.08-3.56]; P=0.02) and CABG-ineligible patients (HR, 3.26 [95% CI, 1.28-3.65]; P=0.004) groups compared with the reference PCI-recommended group, driven by increased death and stroke. CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular event rates after PCI were significantly higher in patients with multivessel disease who declined or were ineligible for CABG. Our findings provide real-world data to inform shared decision-making discussions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hyperaemic stenosis resistance (HSR) index was introduced to provide a more comprehensive indicator of the haemodynamic severity of a coronary lesion. HSR combines both the pressure drop across a lesion and the flow through it. As such, HSR overcomes the limitations of the more traditional fractional flow reserve (FFR) or coronary flow reserve (CFR) indices. AIMS We aimed to identify the diagnostic and prognostic value of HSR and evaluate the clinical implications. METHODS Patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) and obstructive coronary artery disease were selected from the multicentre ILIAS Registry. For this study, only patients with combined Doppler flow and pressure measurements were included. RESULTS A total of 853 patients with 1,107 vessels were included. HSR more accurately identified the presence of inducible ischaemia compared to FFR and CFR (area under the curve 0.71 vs 0.66 and 0.62, respectively; p<0.005 for both). An abnormal HSR measurement was an independent and important predictor of target vessel failure at 5-year follow-up (hazard ratio 3.80, 95% confidence interval: 2.12-6.73; p<0.005). In vessels deferred from revascularisation, HSR seems to identify more accurately those vessels that may benefit from revascularisation rather than FFR and/or CFR. CONCLUSIONS The present study affirms the theoretical advantages of the HSR index for the detection of ischaemia-Âinducing coronary lesions in a large CCS population.

Intravascular Imaging-Guided Versus Coronary Angiography-Guided Complex PCI: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Cardiol Ther 2024; 13:379-399. [PMID: 38630393 PMCID: PMC11093926 DOI: 10.1007/s40119-024-00364-7] [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: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/15/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trials evaluating the role of intravascular imaging in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for complex coronary artery disease have yielded mixed results. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of intravascular imaging specifically intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with those from conventional coronary angiography in complex PCI. METHODS Comprehensive electronic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases was performed until March 2023 for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing intravascular imaging with coronary angiography in patients undergoing complex PCI. Complex PCI was defined per each study, and included PCI for American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) type B2/C lesions, unprotected left main coronary artery disease, or multivessel stenting. The primary study outcome was major adverse clinical events (MACE). RESULTS The meta-analysis included 10 RCTs with a total of 6615 patients (3576 in the intravascular imaging group and 3039 in the coronary angiography group). The weighted mean-follow up was 28.9 months. Compared with coronary angiography, intravascular imaging reduced MACE (8% vs. 13.3%; relative risk [RR] 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54-0.73), cardiac death (RR 0.47; 95% CI 0.31-0.73), definite/probable stent thrombosis (RR 0.48; 95% CI 0.24-0.97), target vessel revascularization (RR 0.62; 95% CI 0.46-0.83), and target lesion revascularization (RR 0.61; 95% CI 0.47-0.79). There was no difference between both groups in all-cause death (RR 0.79; 95% CI 0.53-1.18) and myocardial infarction (RR 0.80; 95% CI 0.61-1.04). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing complex PCI, intravascular imaging-specifically IVUS-reduced MACE by decreasing the incidence of cardiac death, stent thrombosis, and target vessel and target lesion revascularization.

Abstract
Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has radically transformed the scope of treating coronary artery disease with stenting, stent thrombosis (STh) remains a feared complication. Very late STh, a rare complication after PCI, refers to STh occurring greater than one year after post-stent implantation. An even rarer phenomenon, "very" very late stent thrombosis (VVLST), is described in the literature as STh occurring more than five years post-stent implantation. To our knowledge, there are only 10 case reports and one case series describing VVLST. We discuss two additional complex clinical cases of VVLST presenting as ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We highlight epidemiology, pathophysiology, presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment approach, associated complications, and the need for more extensive future work to minimize the risk of VVLST.

Abstract
Importance Patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) have a poor prognosis, and it is not known if they may benefit from complete revascularization after myocardial infarction (MI). Objective To investigate the benefit of physiology-guided complete revascularization vs a culprit-only strategy in patients with HBR, MI, and multivessel disease. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a prespecified analysis of the Functional Assessment in Elderly MI Patients With Multivessel Disease (FIRE) randomized clinical trial data. FIRE was an investigator-initiated, open-label, multicenter trial. Patients 75 years or older with MI and multivessel disease were enrolled at 34 European centers from July 2019 through October 2021. Physiology treatment was performed either by angiography- or wire-based assessment. Patients were divided into HBR or non-HBR categories in accordance with the Academic Research Consortium HBR document. Interventions Patients were randomized to either physiology-guided complete revascularization or culprit-only strategy. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome comprised a composite of death, MI, stroke, or revascularization at 1 year. Secondary outcomes included a composite of cardiovascular death or MI and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) types 3 to 5. Results Among 1445 patients (mean [SD] age, 81 [5] years; 917 male [63%]), 1025 (71%) met HBR criteria. Patients with HBR were at higher risk for the primary end point (hazard ratio [HR], 2.01; 95% CI, 1.47-2.76), cardiovascular death or MI (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.26-2.83), and BARC types 3 to 5 (HR, 3.28; 95% CI, 1.40-7.64). The primary end point was significantly reduced with physiology-guided complete revascularization as compared with culprit-only strategy in patients with HBR (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.96). No indication of interaction was noted between revascularization strategy and HBR status for primary and secondary end points. Conclusions and Relevance HBR status is prevalent among older patients with MI, significantly increasing the likelihood of adverse events. Physiology-guided complete revascularization emerges as an effective strategy, in comparison with culprit-only revascularization, for mitigating ischemic adverse events, including cardiovascular death and MI. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03772743.

Uninterrupted direct-acting oral anticoagulation in patients undergoing transradial percutaneous coronary procedures: The DOAC-NOSTOP study rationale and design. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 63:68-72. [PMID: 38307792 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2024.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) under treatment with chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC) often require coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Deciding the management of OAC during this periprocedural period requires balancing the risks of hemorrhage and thrombotic complications. Guidelines recommend an uninterrupted strategy in patients receiving Vitamin-K Antagonists (VKA). However, for patients undergoing coronary angiography or PCI while on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), withdrawal 12-24 h prior to the procedure is still recommended. This is based on expert opinions given the lack of evidence. Therefore, whether DOAC discontinuation prior to trans-radial coronary procedures should be the strategy of choice is a matter of debate and solid evidence is needed to guide clinical decision making. METHODS The DOAC-NOSTOP study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study evaluating the safety of DOACs continuation in 200 patients undergoing transradial percutaneous coronary procedures. DOAC treatment will not be interrupted throughout the periprocedural period. Primary outcome will be Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2, 3, or 5 events, assessed at a 30-day follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The DOAC-NOSTOP is the first study prospectively assessing the risk of bleeding with uninterrupted DOAC in patients undergoing trans-radial percutaneous coronary procedures.
