Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative invasive coronary angiography (ICA) following coronary artery bypass grafting using a mobile angiography C-arm. METHODS Between August 2020 and December 2021, 18 patients were enrolled for intraoperative ICA following coronary artery bypass grafting. After skin closure, ICA was performed including angiography of all established bypass grafts via a mobile angiography system by an interventional cardiologist. Data on graft patency, stenosis, and kinking were assessed. Grafts were rated on an ordinal scale ranging from very poor (1) to excellent (5). Furthermore, the impact of ICA compared with flow measurement was assessed using the ordinal Likert scale ranging from (I) worse to (V) much better. RESULTS The ICA was considered better (V) compared with transient flow measurement in 38 (93%) and comparable (III) in 3 (7%) distal anastomoses. ICA impacted clinical or surgical decision-making in three patients (17%). In one patient, dual antiplatelet therapy for 6 months was initiated and rethoracotomy was needed in two (11%) patients with bypass graft revision and additional bypass grafting for graft occlusion. There were no cerebral and distal embolic events or access vessel complications observed and no postoperative acute kidney injury occurred. CONCLUSION Intraoperative angiography after coronary bypass grafting is safe. Using a mobile angiographic device, graft patency, and function assessment was superior to transit time flow measurement leading to further consequences in a relevant number of patients. Therefore, it has the potential to reduce postoperative myocardial injury and improve survival.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Although the success rates and safety of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have significantly improved with the development of newer equipment, use of an algorithmic approach, and advancement in procedural techniques, CTO PCI has a higher rate of complication than does non-CTO PCI. Therefore, meticulous preprocedural planning before CTO PCI is paramount to improve success and reduce the risk of complications. In this report, we review multiple aspects of preprocedural CTO PCI planning, including procedural indications, efficacy, safety, diagnostic angiography, scoring tools for procedural success and risk prediction, and preprocedural use of computed tomography coronary angiography.

Abstract
Multivessel coronary artery disease is present in ∼50% of patients with acute coronary syndrome and, compared with single-vessel disease, entails a higher risk of new ischaemic events and a worse prognosis. Randomized controlled trials have shown the superiority of 'complete revascularization' over culprit lesion-only treatment. Trials, however, only included patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and evidence regarding complete revascularization with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery after culprit lesion-only PCI ('hybrid revascularization') is lacking. The CABG after PCI is an open, non-negligible therapeutic option, for patients with non-culprit left main and/or left anterior descending coronary artery disease where evidence in chronic coronary syndrome patients points in several cases to a preference of CABG over PCI. This valuable but poorly studied 'PCI first-CABG later' option presents, however, relevant challenges, mostly in the need of interrupting post-stenting dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for surgery to prevent excess bleeding. Depending on patients' clinical characteristics and coronary anatomical features, either deferring surgery after a safe interruption of DAPT or bridging DAPT interruption with intravenous short-acting antithrombotic agents appears to be a suitable option. Off-pump minimally invasive surgical revascularization, associated with less operative bleeding than open-chest surgery, may be an adjunctive strategy when revascularization cannot be safely deferred and DAPT is not interrupted. Here, the rationale, patient selection, optimal timing, and adjunctive strategies are reviewed for an ideal approach to hybrid revascularization in post-acute coronary syndrome patients to support physicians' choices in a case-by-case patient-tailored approach.

Long-Term Nitrogen Dioxide Exposure as a Possible 5-Year Mortality Risk Factor in Diabetic Patients Treated Using Off-Pump Surgical Revascularization-A Retrospective Analysis. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:1326.

Abstract
Background: There is mounting evidence that diabetic-related cardiac metabolism abnormalities with oxidative stress and inflammatory mechanism activation align with the functional impairments that result in atherosclerotic lesion formation. Among the possible non-traditional coronary lesion risk factors, environmental exposure may be significant, especially in diabetic patients. Methods: A total of 140 diabetic patients (115 (82%) males and 25 (18%) females) with a mean age of 65 (60-71) underwent surgical revascularization due to multivessel coronary disease. The possible all-cause mortality risk factors, including demographical and clinical factors followed by chronic air pollution exposure, were identified. Results: All patients were operated on using the off-pump technique and followed for 5.6 (5-6.1) years. The multivariable model for 5-year mortality prediction presented the nitrogen dioxide chronic exposure (HR: 3.99, 95% CI: 1.16-13.71, p = 0.028) and completeness of revascularization (HR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.04-0.86, p = 0.031) as significant all-cause mortality risk factors. Conclusions: Ambient air pollutants such as an excessive chronic nitrogen dioxide concentration (>15 µg/m3) may increase 5-year all-cause mortality in diabetic patients following surgical revascularization.

Association of Preprocedural SYNTAX Score With Outcomes in Impella-Assisted High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR CARDIOVASCULAR ANGIOGRAPHY & INTERVENTIONS 2024; 3:101981. [PMID: 39166169 PMCID: PMC11330901 DOI: 10.1016/j.jscai.2024.101981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024]
Abstract
Background Patients with complex coronary artery disease, as defined by high SYNTAX scores, undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have poorer outcomes when compared with patients with lower SYNTAX I scores. This study aimed to assess if mechanical circulatory support using Impella mitigates the effect of the SYNTAX I score on outcomes after high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HRPCI). Methods Using data from the PROTECT III study, patients undergoing Impella-assisted HRPCI between March 2017 and March 2020 were divided into 3 cohorts based on SYNTAX I score-low (≤22), intermediate (23-32), and high (≥33). Procedural and clinical outcomes out to 90 days were compared between groups. Multivariable regression analysis was used to assess the impact of SYNTAX I score on major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 90 days. Results A total of 850 subjects with core laboratory-adjudicated SYNTAX I scores were identified (low: n = 310; intermediate: n = 256; high: n = 284). Patients with high SYNTAX I scores were older than those with low or intermediate SYNTAX I scores (72.7 vs 69.7 vs 70.1 years, respectively; P < .01). After adjustment for covariates, high SYNTAX I score remained a significant predictor of 90-day MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 2.14; 95% CI, 1.42-3.69; P < .01 vs low), whereas intermediate SYNTAX I score was not (HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.47-1.77; P = .80 vs low). These findings persisted after adjustment for post-PCI SYNTAX I score. Conclusions A high SYNTAX I score was associated with higher rates of 90-day MACCE in patients who underwent Impella-assisted HRPCI. Further research is needed to understand the patient and procedural factors driving this finding.

Ten-year mortality after treating obstructive coronary atherosclerosis with contemporary stents in patients with or without concomitant peripheral arterial disease. Atherosclerosis 2024; 392:117488. [PMID: 38598970 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117488] [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: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous studies in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients showed a higher 3-year adverse event risk, including all-cause mortality, in those with concomitant peripheral arterial disease (PADs). Ten-year data of mortality and causes of death are scarce. This analysis assessed PCI patients, treated with contemporary drug-eluting stents, the impact of concomitant PADs on very long-term mortality, and causes of death. METHODS We assessed PCI all-comers from our center who participated in the TWENTE and DUTCH PEERS trials (clinicaltrials.gov:NCT01066650, NCT01331707), comparing patients with versus without PADs. Life status was checked in the Dutch Personal Records Database; causes of death were obtained from medical records. RESULTS Of 2705 study patients, 668 (24.7%) died during follow-up: 88/212 (41.5%) patients with PADs and 580/2493 (23.1%) without PADs. In PADs patients, the 10-year rate of all-cause mortality was about twice as high as in patients without PADs (41.5% vs.23.1%, HR: 2.05, 95%-CI: 1.64-2.57, p<0.001). For both groups, the rates of patients dying from various causes of death were: cardiac (14.1% vs.6.8%), vascular (2.8% vs. 1.1%), non-cardiovascular (17.4% vs. 9.8%), and unclear causes (7.1% vs. 5.3%), without a statistically significant between-group difference. When multivariate analysis was adjusted for between-group differences in cardiovascular risk profile, PADs remained predictor of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR: 1.38, 95%-CI: 1.08-1.75, p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS The 10-year all-cause mortality rate in PCI patients with concomitant PADs was almost twice as high as in those without PADs. Age and other traditional cardiovascular risk factors were higher in patients with PADs, but after correction for these confounders PADs still accounted for almost 40% increase in mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation at the time of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting is reluctantly attempted. Meanwhile, complete revascularization is not always possible in these patients. We attempted to counterbalance the long-term benefits of surgical ablation against the risks of incomplete revascularization. METHODS Atrial fibrillation patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting for multivessel disease between 2012 to 2022 and included in the HEart surgery In atrial fibrillation and Supraventricular Tachycardia registry were divided into complete revascularization, complete revascularization with additional grafts, and incomplete revascularization cohorts; these were further split into surgical ablation and non-surgical ablation subgroups. RESULTS A total of 8,405 patients (78% men; age 69.3 ± 7.9) were included; of those, 5,918 (70.4%) had complete revascularization, and 556 (6.6%) had surgical ablation performed. Number of anastomoses was 2.7 ± 1.2. The median follow-up was 5.1 [interquartile range 2.1-8.8] years. In patients in whom complete revascularization was achieved, surgical ablation was associated with long-term survival benefit: hazard ratio 0.69; 95% confidence intervals (0.50-0.94); P = .020 compared with grafting additional lesions. Similarly, in patients in whom complete revascularization was not achieved, surgical ablation was associated with a long-term survival benefit of 0.68 (0.49-0.94); P = .019. When comparing surgical ablation on top of incomplete revascularization against complete revascularization without additional grafts or surgical ablation, there was no difference between the 2: 0.84 (0.61-1.17); P = .307, which was also consistent in the propensity score-matched analysis: 0.75 (0.39-1.43); P = .379. CONCLUSION To achieve complete revascularization is of utmost importance. However, when facing incomplete revascularization at the time of coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with underlying atrial fibrillation, concomitant surgical ablation on top of incomplete revascularization is associated with similar long-term survival as complete revascularization without surgical ablation.

J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e032212. [PMID: 38240212 PMCID: PMC11056153 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.032212] [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: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend revascularization in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). However, there is limited information about the trends and outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Using New Jersey state mandatory registries, 8083 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy with CABG or PCI revascularization for multivessel coronary artery disease from 2007 to 2018 were included in the analysis. Joinpoint regression and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the annual percentage change in trends and predictors of the 30-day mortality rate, respectively. A decline in CABG procedures was observed from 2007 to 2011 (annual percentage change, -11.5%; P=0.003), followed by stabilization. The PCI trend remained unchanged from 2007 to 2010 and then increased significantly (annual percentage change, 3.2%; P=0.02). In the subsample of patients with proximal left anterior descending artery plus circumflex and right coronary artery, CABG was a predominant procedure until 2011, and the proportion of both procedures did not differ thereafter. In the subsample of patients with left anterior descending artery and any other artery stenosis, PCI remained dominant from 2007 to 2018, while in patients with left main and any other artery stenosis, CABG remained dominant from 2007 to 2018 (P<0.001). The 30-day risk-adjusted mortality rate was higher after PCI versus CABG for each year, but after adjustment for completeness of revascularization, there was no difference between groups. CONCLUSIONS The patterns of revascularization procedures for patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy with multivessel coronary artery disease have changed over the years, as evidenced by the changes in CABG and PCI trends. CABG and PCI had comparable 30-day risk-adjusted mortality risks.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal revascularization strategy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains to be elucidated. The aim of this paper is to compare the mid-term mortality rate among patients with severely reduced ejection fraction (EF) and complex coronary artery disease who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with Impella support, or without. METHODS Randomized control trials and propensity-adjusted observational studies including patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and severe EF reduction undergoing revascularization were selected. Different revascularization strategies (CABG, supported PCI, and PCI without Impella) were compared in pairwise and network meta-analysis. The primary endpoint was mid-term mortality (within the first year after revascularization). RESULTS Fifteen studies, mostly observational (17,841 patients; 6779 patients treated with CABG, 8478 treated with PCI without Impella, and 2584 treated with Impella-supported PCI) were included in this analysis. The median age was 67.8 years (IQR 65-70.1), 21.2% (IQR 16.4-26%) of patients were female sex, and a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was noted across the entire population. At pairwise analysis, CABG and PCI without Impella showed similar one-year all-cause mortality (10.6% [IQR 7.5-12.6%] vs 12% [IQR 8.4-11.5%]) RR 0.85 CI 0.67-1.09, while supported PCI reduced one-year all-cause mortality compared to PCI without Impella (9.4% [IQR 5.7-12.5%] vs 10.6% [IQR 8.9-10.7%]) RR 0.77 CI 0.6-0.89. At network meta-analysis, supported PCI showed better results (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59-0.94) compared to CABG. CONCLUSION Our analysis found that supported PCI may have a benefit over standard PCI in patients in direct comparison, and over CABG from indirect comparison, and with HFrEF undergoing revascularization. Further RCTs are needed to confirm this result. (PROSPERO CRD42023425667).

[PMID: 39131064 PMCID: PMC11307589 DOI: 10.1016/j.jscai.2023.101197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the largest cause of death worldwide and the most common cause of heart failure (HF). The incidence and prevalence of HF are increasing owing to an aging population and improvements in the acute cardiac care of previously fatal conditions such as myocardial infarction. Strategies to improve outcomes in patients with ischemic systolic HF are urgently needed. There is systematic underutilization of testing for coronary artery disease in patients with HF, and revascularization is performed in an even smaller minority despite evidence for reduced mortality with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) over medical therapy in the Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure Extension Study. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a less-invasive approach to coronary revascularization; however, the recent Revascularization for Ischemic Ventricular Dysfunction (REVIVED)-British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS2) trial failed to demonstrate a benefit of PCI compared with that of medical therapy in patients with ischemic systolic HF. The comparative effectiveness of PCI and CABG for patients with ischemic systolic HF remains unknown, particularly in the era of contemporary medical therapy. In this review, we discuss the benefit of CABG in ischemic systolic HF, its underutilization, and the unmet clinical need. We also review the recent REVIVED-BCIS2 trial comparing PCI to medical therapy, as well as upcoming randomized controlled trials of PCI for ischemic systolic HF and persistent evidence gaps that will exist despite anticipated data from ongoing trials. There remains a need for an adequately powered randomized controlled trials to establish the comparative clinical effectiveness of PCI vs CABG in ischemic systolic HF in the era of contemporary revascularization approaches and medical therapy, as well as trials of coronary revascularization in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction or less severe forms of left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is widely adopted to treat chronic coronary artery disease. Numerous randomised trials have been conducted to test whether PCI may provide any prognostic advantage over oral medical therapy (OMT) alone, without definitive results. This has maintained the paradigm of OMT as the first-line standard of care for patients, reserving PCI for symptom control. In this review, we discuss the current evidence in favour and against PCI in stable coronary syndromes and highlight the pitfalls of the available studies. We offer a critical appraisal of the possible reasons why the existing data does not provide evidence supporting the role of PCI in improving clinical outcomes in patients with stable coronary syndromes.

Abstract
Recent studies showed that preoperative functional assessment with fractional flow reserve (FFR) could predict a long-term patency of arterial bypass grafts in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a novel angiography-based approach to estimate FFR. This study aimed to investigate whether preoperative QFR could discriminate arterial bypass function at 1 year after surgery. The PRIDE-METAL registry was a prospective, multicenter observational study that enrolled 54 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. By protocol, left coronary stenoses were revascularized by CABG with arterial grafts, whereas right coronary stenoses were treated with coronary stenting. Follow-up angiography at 1 year after surgery was scheduled to assess arterial graft patency. QFR was performed using index angiography by certified analysts, blinded to bypass graft function. The primary end point of this sub-study was the discriminative ability of QFR for arterial graft function, as assessed by receiver-operating characteristic curve. Among 54 patients enrolled in the PRIDE-METAL registry, index and follow-up angiography was available in 41 patients with 97 anastomoses. QFR were analyzed in 35 patients (71 anastomoses) with an analyzability of 85.5% (71/83). Five bypass grafts were found to be non-functional at 1 year. The diagnostic performance of QFR was substantial (area under the curve: 0.89; 95% confidence interval: 0.83 to 0.96) with an optimal cutoff of 0.76 to predict functionality of bypass grafts. Preoperative QFR is highly discriminative for predicting postoperative arterial graft function.Trial registration: Clinical.gov reference: NCT02894255.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of Impella support is increasingly adopted to "protect" patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricle (LV) dysfunction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). AIMS To evaluate the impact of Impella-protected (Abiomed, Danvers, Massachusetts, USA) PCIs on myocardial function recovery. METHODS Patients with significant LV dysfunction undergoing multi-vessel PCIs with pre-intervention Impella implantation were evaluated by echocardiography before PCI and at median follow up of 6 months: global and segmental LV contractile function were assessed by LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and wall motion score index (WMSI), respectively. Extent of revascularization was graded using the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Jeopardy score (BCIS-JS). Study endpoints were LVEF and WMSI improvement, and its correlation with revascularization. RESULTS A total of 48 high surgical risk (mean EuroSCORE II 8) patients with median LVEF value of 30%, extensive wall motion abnormalities (median WMSI 2.16), and severe multi-vessel CAD (mean SYNTAX score 35) were included. PCIs brought a significant reduction of ischemic myocardium burden with BCIS-JS decrease from mean value of 12 to 4 (p < 0.001). At follow-up, WMSI reduced from 2.2 to 2.0 (p = 0.004) and LVEF increased from 30% to 35% (p = 0.016). WMSI improvement was proportional to the baseline impairment (R - 0.50, p < 0.001), and confined to revascularized segments (from 2.1 to 1.9, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients with extensive CAD and severe LV dysfunction, multi-vessel Impella-protected PCI was associated to an appreciable contractile recovery, mainly determined by regional wall motion improvement in revascularized segments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with or without revascularization of the occluded right coronary artery (RCA). METHODS Patients undergoing isolated CABG were included in a prospective European multicenter registry. Outcomes were adjusted for imbalance in preoperative variables with propensity score matching analysis. Late outcomes were evaluated with Kaplan-Meier's method and competing risk analysis. RESULTS Out of 2,948 included in this registry, 724 patients had a total occlusion of the RCA and were the subjects of this analysis. Occluded RCA was not revascularized in 251 (34.7%) patients with significant variability between centers. Among 245 propensity score-matched pairs, patients with and without revascularization of occluded RCA had similar early outcomes. The nonrevascularized RCA group had increased rates of 5-year all-cause mortality (17.7 vs. 11.7%, p = 0.039) compared with patients who had their RCA revascularized. The rates of myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization were only numerically increased but contributed to a significantly higher rate of MACCE (24.7 vs. 15.7%, p = 0.020) at 5 year among patients with nonrevascularized RCA. CONCLUSION In this multicenter study, one-third of totally occluded RCAs was not revascularized during isolated CABG for multivessel coronary artery disease. Failure to revascularize an occluded RCA in these patients increased the risk of all-cause mortality and MACCEs at 5 years.

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

[PMID: 37288564 PMCID: PMC10406339 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehad369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS An observational nationwide all-comers prospective register study to analyse outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients undergoing coronary angiography in Sweden are registered in the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies registry. Between 01/01/2005 and 12/31/2015, 11 137 patients with LMCA disease underwent CABG (n = 9364) or PCI (n = 1773). Patients with previous CABG, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac shock were excluded. Death, MI, stroke, and new revascularization during follow-up until 12/31/2015 were identified using national registries. Cox regression with inverse probability weighting (IPW) and an instrumental variable (IV), administrative region, were used. Patients undergoing PCI were older, had higher prevalence of comorbidity but lower prevalence of three-vessel disease. PCI patients had higher mortality than CABG patients after adjustments for known cofounders with IPW analysis (hazard ratio [HR] 2.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.5-2.7]) and known/unknown confounders with IV analysis (HR 1.5 [95% CI 1.1-2.0]). PCI was associated with higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; death, MI, stroke, or new revascularization) than CABG, with IV analysis (HR 2.8 [95% CI 1.8-4.5]). There was a quantitative interaction for diabetic status regarding mortality (P = 0.014) translating into 3.6 years (95% CI 3.3-4.0) longer median survival time favouring CABG in patients with diabetes. CONCLUSION In this non-randomized study, CABG in patients with LMCA disease was associated with lower mortality and fewer MACCE compared to PCI after multivariable adjustment for known and unknown confounders.

Challenges and Burdens in the Coronary Artery Disease Care Pathway for Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Contemporary Narrative Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:ijerph20095633. [PMID: 37174152 PMCID: PMC10177939 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20095633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Clinical and economic burdens exist within the coronary artery disease (CAD) care pathway despite advances in diagnosis and treatment and the increasing utilization of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, research presenting a comprehensive assessment of the challenges across this pathway is scarce. This contemporary review identifies relevant studies related to inefficiencies in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of CAD, including clinician, patient, and economic burdens. Studies demonstrating the benefits of integration and automation within the catheterization laboratory and across the CAD care pathway were also included. Most studies were published in the last 5-10 years and focused on North America and Europe. The review demonstrated multiple potentially avoidable inefficiencies, with a focus on access, appropriate use, conduct, and follow-up related to PCI. Inefficiencies included misdiagnosis, delays in emergency care, suboptimal testing, longer procedure times, risk of recurrent cardiac events, incomplete treatment, and challenges accessing and adhering to post-acute care. Across the CAD pathway, this review revealed that high clinician burnout, complex technologies, radiation, and contrast media exposure, amongst others, negatively impact workflow and patient care. Potential solutions include greater integration and interoperability between technologies and systems, improved standardization, and increased automation to reduce burdens in CAD and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background Myocardial revascularization has been advocated to improve myocardial function and prognosis in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). We discuss the evidence for revascularization in patients with ICM and the role of ischemia and viability detection in guiding treatment. Methods and Results We searched for randomized controlled trials evaluating the prognostic impact of revascularization in ICM and the value of viability imaging for patient management. Out of 1397 publications, 4 randomized controlled trials were included, enrolling 2480 patients. Three trials (HEART [Heart Failure Revascularisation Trial], STICH [Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure], and REVIVED [REVascularization for Ischemic VEntricular Dysfunction]-BCIS2) randomized patients to revascularization or optimal medical therapy. HEART was stopped prematurely without showing any significant difference between treatment strategies. STICH showed a 16% lower mortality with bypass surgery compared with optimal medical therapy at a median follow-up of 9.8 years. However, neither the presence/extent of left ventricle viability nor ischemia interacted with treatment outcomes. REVIVED-BCIS2 showed no difference in the primary end point between percutaneous revascularization or optimal medical therapy. PARR-2 (Positron Emission Tomography and Recovery Following Revascularization) randomized patients to imaging-guided revascularization versus standard care, with neutral results overall. Information regarding the consistency of patient management with viability testing results was available in ≈65% of patients (n=1623). No difference in survival was revealed according to adherence or no adherence to viability imaging. Conclusions In ICM, the largest randomized controlled trial, STICH, suggests that surgical revascularization improves patients' prognosis at long-term follow-up, whereas evidence supports no benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention. Data from randomized controlled trials do not support myocardial ischemia or viability testing for treatment guidance. We propose an algorithm for the workup of patients with ICM considering clinical presentation, imaging results, and surgical risk.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of patients suffering periprocedural myocardial injury and undergoing incomplete revascularization (IR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has never been investigated. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between different thresholds of post-PCI cardiac troponin (cTn) elevation and revascularization completeness in determining long-term clinical outcomes. METHODS Patients were stratified in tertiles according to preprocedural SYNTAX score (SS) (low: 0-6; medium: >6-11; high: >11) and residual SS (low: 0-4; medium: >4-8; high: >8). IR was defined by a rSS value >4. Three thresholds of myocardial injury were pre-specified: 5×, 35× and 70× 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) increase of baseline cTn. Primary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at two years of follow-up. RESULTS 1061 patients undergoing PCI for stable coronary artery disease were enrolled. IR occurred in 249 (23.4 %) and major myocardial injury in 540 (50.9 %). Patients belonging to the highest tertile of SS showed an increased risk of experiencing IR and periprocedural myocardial injury. Two-year follow-up was available in 869. At multi-variate Cox's regression analysis, patients undergoing IR + cTn > 35 × URL and IR + cTn > 70 × URL showed an increased risk of MACE [HR 2.30 (1.19-4.41) and HR 3.20 (1.38-7.41); respectively]. CONCLUSIONS Periprocedural myocardial injury is critically associated with MACE at two-year follow-up in patient treated with PCI who achieve IR. Despite conflicting evidence exists regarding the influence of periprocedural myocardial injury on clinical outcomes, patients undergoing IR seem to represent a high-risk subgroup.

Abstract
Multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with worse outcomes across the spectrum of clinical presentations. The prognostic implications of completeness of revascularization in CAD patients, especially those with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), remain highly debated. This is largely due to the use of non-standardized definitions for complete revascularization (CR) and incomplete revascularization (ICR) within previously published studies, lack of randomized clinical data, varying revascularization methods and heterogenous study populations. In particular, the utility and effectiveness of PCI-mediated CR for CCS remains unknown. In this review, we discuss the various definitions used for CR vs. ICR, highlight the rationale for pursuing CR and summarise the current literature regarding the effects of PCI-mediated CR on clinical outcomes in patients with CCS.

Abstract
Background Whether complete revascularization (CR) or incomplete revascularization (IR) may affect long-term outcomes after PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is unclear. Objectives The authors sought to assess the impact of CR or IR on 10-year outcomes after PCI or CABG for LMCA disease. Methods In the PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery versus Angioplasty Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients with Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) 10-year extended study, the authors evaluated the effect of PCI and CABG on long-term outcomes according to completeness of revascularization. The primary outcome was the incidence of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (composite of mortality from any cause, myocardial infarction, stroke, or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization). Results Among 600 randomized patients (PCI, n = 300 and CABG, n = 300), 416 patients (69.3%) had CR and 184 (30.7%) had IR; 68.3% of PCI patients and 70.3% of CABG patients underwent CR, respectively. The 10-year MACCE rates were not significantly different between PCI and CABG among patients with CR (27.8% vs 25.1%, respectively; adjusted HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 0.81-1.73) and among those with IR (31.6% vs 21.3%, respectively; adjusted HR: 1.64; 95% CI: 0.92-2.92) (P for interaction = 0.35). There was also no significant interaction between the status of CR and the relative effect of PCI and CABG on all-cause mortality, serious composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, and repeat revascularization. Conclusions In this 10-year follow-up of PRECOMBAT, the authors found no significant difference between PCI and CABG in the rates of MACCE and all-cause mortality according to CR or IR status.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2022; 15:2475-2486. [PMID: 36543441 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2022.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomical scoring systems have been used to assess completeness of revascularization but are challenging to apply to large real-world datasets. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of complete revascularization and its association with longitudinal clinical outcomes in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system using an automatically computed anatomic complexity score. METHODS Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between October 1, 2007, and September 30, 2020, were identified, and the burden of prerevascularization and postrevascularization ischemic disease was quantified using the VA SYNTAX (Synergy Between PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score. The association between residual VA SYNTAX score and long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and stroke) was assessed. RESULTS A total of 57,476 veterans underwent PCI during the study period. After adjustment, the highest tertile of residual VA SYNTAX score was associated with increased hazard of MACE (HR: 2.06; 95% CI: 1.98-2.15) and death (HR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.41-1.59) at 3 years compared to complete revascularization (residual VA SYNTAX score = 0). Hazard of 1- and 3-year MACE increased as a function of residual disease, regardless of baseline disease severity or initial presentation with acute or chronic coronary syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Residual ischemic disease was strongly associated with long-term clinical outcomes in a contemporary national cohort of PCI patients. Automatically computed anatomic complexity scores can be used to assess the longitudinal risk for residual ischemic disease after PCI and may be implemented to improve interventional quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a predictive model for poor prognosis after incomplete revascularization (ICR) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD). METHODS Clinical data of 757 patients with MVD and ICR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University from January 2020 to August 2021 were retrospectively collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method was used to screen variables, and multivariate logistic regression was used to establish a predictive model. An independent cohort was used to validate the model. The C-statistic was used to verify and evaluate the discriminative ability of the model; the calibration curve was drawn, and the decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to evaluate the calibration degree, the clinical net benefit, and the practicability of the model. RESULTS The predictive factors included female, age, unconjugated bilirubin, uric acid, low-density lipoprotein, hyperglycemia, total occlusion, and severe tortuosity lesion on coronary angiography. The C-statistic of the training and validation sets were 0.628 and 0.745, respectively. The statistical value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test for the calibration curve of the training and validation sets were 5.27(P = 0.873) and 6.27 (P = 0.792), respectively. DCA showed that the model was clinically applicable when the predicted probability value of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs) ranged from 0.07 to 0.68. CONCLUSIONS We established a predictive model for poor prognosis after ICR in patients with MVD. The predictive and calibration ability and the clinical net benefit of the predictive model were good, indicating that it can be used as an effective tool for the early prediction of poor prognosis after ICR in patients with MVD.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:568. [PMID: 36572851 PMCID: PMC9791745 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-03025-6] [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: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND GRACE risk score models are capable of predicting all-cause mortality of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. However, its utility for evaluating major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in NSTEMI patients with multivessel disease (MVD) remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study that recruited patients with NSTEMI and multivessel disease between September 2013 and December 2018 in Daping Hospital, Chongqing, China. The primary outcome was a composite outcome that included all-cause mortality, recurrent angina, non-fatal myocardial infarction, coronary re-vascularization, and non-fatal strokes. Of the 827 patients with NSTEMI, 32 did not complete follow-up and 430 were excluded because of single-vessel disease. The remaining 365 NSTEMI patients with MVD had a median follow-up of 3.0 (IQR 2.6-3.3) years, 78 patients experienced outcomes. The GRACE risk score predicted the MACE (hazard ratio 1.014, 95% CI 1.006-1.021, P < 0.001). The GRACE risk score performed well in predicting all-cause mortality (c-statistic 0.72, 95% CI 0.59-0.85, P = 0.001) in MVD but was less powerful in predicting MACE (c-statistic 0.69, 95% CI 0.62-0.75, P < 0.001). When combining the GRACE risk score with the SYNTAX score, and blood urea nitrogen for predicting all-cause mortality and MACE events, the c-statistic value increased to 0.82 and 0.81 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In NSTEMI patients with MVD, the GRACE score showed an acceptable predictive value for all-cause mortality, but it was less powerful in predicting MACE. Blood urea nitrogen may be valuable in assessing long-term cardiovascular events in patients with MVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute renal failure (ARF) is one of the major complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The risk factors are changing along with the technical evolution. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for ARF requiring dialysis after CABG surgery in the current era. METHODS Between April 2012 and November 2019, 5077 consecutive patients who underwent CABG were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into ARF group and non-ARF group according to whether ARF occurred and dialysis was required after operation. Univariate analysis was performed to find possible factors associated with ARF. Any variables that had trends to be associated with ARF were included in stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 5077 patients who underwent CABG, 53 (1.04%) developed ARF requiring dialysis whereas 5024 (98.96%) were in non-ARF group. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (odds ratio [OR], 1.009; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.003-1.016; p = .006), insertion of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP; OR, 19.294; 95% CI, 5.49-67.808; p = .000), and low ejection fraction (EF; OR, 0.943; 95% CI, 0.894-0.994; p = .030) were independent risk factors for development of ARF requiring dialysis in patients undergoing CABG surgery. CONCLUSION Our study identified prolonged CPB time, insertion of IABP, and low EF as independent risk factors for developing ARF requiring dialysis after CABG. The results suggest that shortening of CPB time and protection of cardiac function are important factors to prevent ARF and that special care should be taken to protect the renal function when the patient need insertion of IABP.

Comparison of long-term cardiovascular and renal outcomes between percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting in multi-vessel disease with chronic kidney disease. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:951113. [PMID: 36172577 PMCID: PMC9510652 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.951113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aims to analyze cardiac and renal outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with multi-vessel disease who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and methods Chronic kidney disease patients with multi-vessel disease who underwent CABG or PCI were retrospectively selected from our database and divided into the PCI group [further stratified into PCI with complete revascularization (PCI-CR) and PCI with incomplete revascularization (PCI-IR) groups] and the CABG group. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke at 5 years. The key secondary endpoint was the 5-year rate of the renal composite outcome, defined as >40% glomerular filtration rate decrease, initiation of dialysis, and/or kidney transplant. Outcomes were compared using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, and the results were further adjusted by multivariable analyses and inverse probability weighting. Results Among the study population (n = 798), 443 (55.5%) patients received CABG and 355 (44.5%) patients received PCI. Compared with the CABG group, the PCI group had similar risk of the primary endpoint (CABG vs. PCI, 19.3% vs. 24.0%, HR: 1.28, 95% CI: 0.95–1.73, p = 0.11) and a lower risk of the renal composite outcome (36.6% vs. 31.2%, HR: 0.74, 95% CI 0.58–0.94, p = 0.03). In addition, PCI-IR was associated with a significantly higher risk of the primary endpoint than CABG (HR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.11–2.13, p = 0.009) or PCI-CR (HR: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.09–2.89, p = 0.02). However, PCI-CR had a comparable 5-year death, MI, or stroke rate to CABG (HR: 0.86, 95% CI 0.54–1.38, p = 0.54). Conclusion Coronary artery bypass grafting showed an incidence of death, MI, or stroke similar to PCI but was associated with a higher risk of renal injury. PCI-CR had a prognosis comparable with that of CABG, while PCI-IR had worse prognosis. If PCI is chosen for revascularization in patients with CKD, achieving CR should be attempted to ensure favorable outcomes.

Abstract
Background Increasing life expectancy of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains to be the major concern of cardiac surgeons. However, few studies have investigated the effect of postoperative skeletal muscle index (SMI) loss on prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic role of postoperative SMI loss ≥ 5% after CABG, in order to develop a novel nomogram to predict overall survival (OS). Methods Patients underwent CABG via midline sternotomy from December 2015 to March 2021 were recruited in this study. Preoperative and postoperative 3 months chest computed tomography (CT) images were compared to assess changes in SMI at T12 level. Based on this, patients were classified into the presence or absence of SMI loss ≥ 5%. The association between postoperative SMI loss ≥ 5% and OS was then analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox model. A novel nomogram incorporating independent clinical prognostic variables was also developed. Results The study enrolled 506 patients receiving CABG, of whom 98 patients experienced T12 SMI loss ≥ 5% and had a significantly worse OS (P < 0.0001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that T12 SMI per cent change (%T12 SMI-change) was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR = 0.809, 95% CI = 0.749–0.874). The nomogram incorporating %T12 SMI-change with other variables was accurate for predicting OS. Besides, we also found that postoperative oral nutritional supplement (ONS) can rescue T12 SMI loss. Conclusion Postoperative SMI loss can predict survival outcome after CABG. The nomogram incorporating changes in SMI provides a superior performance than existing systems.

Abstract
Objectives Although endorsed by international guidelines, complete revascularization (CR) with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) remains underused. In higher-risk patients such as those with pre-operative atrial fibrillation (AF), the effects of CR are not well studied. Methods We analyzed patients' data from the HEIST (HEart surgery In AF and Supraventricular Tachycardia) registry. Between 2012 and 2020 we identified 4770 patients with pre-operative AF and multivessel coronary artery disease who underwent isolated CABG. We divided the cohort according to the completeness of the revascularization and used propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize differences between baseline characteristics. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Results Median follow-up was 4.7 years [interquartile range (IQR) 2.3-6.9]. PSM resulted in 1,009 pairs of complete and incomplete revascularization. Number of distal anastomoses varied, accounting for 3.0 + -0.6 vs. 1.7 + -0.6, respectively. Although early (< 24 h) and 30-day post-operative mortalities were not statistically different between non-CR and CR patients [Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs): 1.34 (0.46-3.86); P = 0.593, Hazard Ratio (HR) and 95% CIs: 0.88 (0.59-1.32); P = 0.542, respectively] the long term mortality was nearly 20% lower in the CR cohort [HR (95% CIs) 0.83 (0.71-0.96); P = 0.011]. This benefit was sustained throughout subgroup analyses, yet most accentuated in low-risk patients (younger i.e., < 70 year old, with a EuroSCORE II < 2%, non-diabetic) and when off-pump CABG was performed. Conclusion Complete revascularization in patients with pre-operative AF is safe and associated with improved survival. Particular survival benefit with CR was observed in low-risk patients undergoing off-pump CABG.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease leads to the highest morbidity worldwide. There is an urgent need to solve the lack of a viable arterial graft for patients requiring coronary artery bypass surgery. The current gold standard is to use the patient's own blood vessel, such as a saphenous vein graft. However, some patients do not have appropriate vessels to use because of systemic disease or secondary surgery. On the other hand, there is no commercially available synthetic vascular graft available on the market for small diameter (<6 mm) blood vessels like coronary, carotid, and peripheral popliteal arteries. Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) are studied in recent decades as a promising alternative to synthetic arterial prostheses. Yet only a few studies have proceeded to a clinical trial. Recent studies have uncovered that the host immune response can be directed toward increasing the success of a TEVG by shedding light on ways to modulate the macrophage response and improve the tissue regeneration outcome. In this review, the basic concepts of vascular tissue engineering and immunoengineering are considered. The state-of-art of TEVGs is summarized and the role of macrophages in TEVG regeneration is analyzed. Current immunomodulatory strategies based on biomaterials are also discussed.

Risk Stratification by Coronary Perfusion Pressure in Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Patients Undergoing Revascularization: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:860346.

Abstract
Background Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and coronary artery stenosis are responsible for myocardial perfusion. However, how CPP-related survival outcome affects revascularization is unclear. Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic role of CPP in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with complete revascularization (CR) or reasonable incomplete revascularization (RIR). Methods We retrospectively screened 6,076 consecutive patients in a registry. The residual synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with Taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score (rSS) was used to define CR (rSS = 0) and RIR (0<rSS≤8). Propensity score matching was performed to reduce bias between RIR and CR. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Results In total, 816 patients with LVSD who underwent CR or RIR were enrolled. After a mean follow-up of 4.6 years, 134 patients died. Both CPP and RIR independently predicted mortality in the total population. After 1:1 matching, 175 pairs of RIR and CR were found in patients with CPP > 42 mmHg. Moreover, 101 pairs of RIR and CR were present in patients with CPP ≤ 42 mmHg. In patients with CPP > 42 mmHg, RIR was not significantly different from CR in long-term mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI):0.70–2.07; p = 0.513]; However, in patients with CPP≤42 mmHg, RIR had a significantly higher mortality risk than CR (HR 2.39; 95% CI: 1.27–4.50; p = 0.007). Conclusions The CPP had a risk stratification role in selecting different revascularization strategies in patients with LVSD. When patients with LVSD had CPP > 42 mmHg, RIR was equivalent to CR in survival. However, when patients with LVSD had CPP ≤ 42 mmHg, RIR had a significantly higher mortality risk than CR.

Abstract
Background: In this study, we aimed to describe the impact of MBs on atherosclerosis and survival, in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: We retrospectively studied 1920 consecutive patients who underwent conventional coronary angiography for suspected CAD. Atherosclerotic load (AL), defined as the sum of degrees of stenosis, and general atherosclerotic load (GAL), representing the sum of AL, were compared between patients with MB and a control group without MB; patients in these groups were similar in age and sex. We assessed survival at 10 years after the last enrolled patient. Results: Prevalence of MB was 3.96%, predominantly in the mid-segment of left anterior descendent artery (LAD). In the presence of MB, GAL was lower (158.1 ± 93.7 vs. 205.3 ± 117.9, p = 0.004) with a lesser AL in the proximal (30.3 ± 39.9 vs. 42.9 ± 41.1, p = 0.038) and mid-segments (8.1 ± 20.0 vs. 25.3 ± 35.9, p < 0.001) of LAD. Based on a Multinominal Logistic Regression, we found that the presence of MB on LAD (regardless of its location on this artery) is a protective factor against atherosclerotic lesions, decreasing the probability of significant stenosis, especially of those ≥70%, on the entire artery (B −1.539, OR 4660; 95% CI = 1.873−11.595, p = 0.001) and on each of its segments as well: proximal LAD (B −1.275, OR 0.280; 95% CI = 0.015−5.073; p = 0.038), mid-LAD (B −1.879, OR 6.545; 95% CI = 1.492−28.712; p = 0.013) and distal LAD (B −0.900, OR 2.459, 95% CI = 2.459−2.459, p = 0.032). However, 10-year survival was similar between groups (76.70% vs. 74.30%, p = 0.740). Conclusion: The presence of MB on LAD proved to be a protective factor against atherosclerosis for the entire artery and for each of its segments, but it does not influence long-term survival in patients with CAD.

Abstract
Surgical myocardial revascularization is associated with long-term survival benefit in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. However, the exact biological mechanisms underlying the clinical benefits of myocardial revascularization have not been elucidated yet. Angiogenesis and arteriogenesis biologically leading to vascular collateralization are considered one of the endogenous mechanisms to preserve myocardial viability during ischemia, and the presence of coronary collateralization has been regarded as one of the predictors of long-term survival in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Some experimental studies and indirect clinical evidence on chronic CAD confirmed an angiogenetic response induced by myocardial revascularization and suggested that revascularization procedures could constitute an angiogenetic trigger per se. In this review, the clinical and basic science evidence regarding arteriogenesis and angiogenesis in both CAD and coronary revascularization is analyzed with the aim to better elucidate their significance in the clinical arena and potential therapeutic use.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of left main or triple vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors and assessed their outcome based on the revascularization strategy. This multicenter, retrospective, observational registry-based study was conducted at 9 Korean tertiary care hospitals. Adult comatose OHCA survivors with left main or triple vessel CAD documented by immediate (≤ 2 h) coronary angiography after return of spontaneous circulation between 2011 and 2019 were included. The primary outcome was neurologically intact survival at 1-month. Among 727 OHCA patients, 150 (25%) had left main or triple vessel CAD and underwent complete (N = 32), incomplete (N = 78), and no immediate (N = 40) revascularization, respectively. The rate of neurologically intact survival at 1 month was significantly different among the groups (53%, 32%, and 23% for complete, incomplete, and no immediate revascularization groups, respectively; P = 0.02). After adjustment using the inverse probability of treatment weighting, complete revascularization was associated with neurologically intact survival at 1 month (odds ratio, 2.635; P = 0.01). Left main or triple vessel CAD is not uncommon in OHCA patients. The complete revascularization was associated with better outcome. Further clinical trials to confirm the best revascularization strategy are needed.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and heart failure (HF). Revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) reduces all-cause mortality compared with medical therapy alone for these patients. Despite this, CABG is performed in a minority of patients with HF, partly due to patient unwillingness or inability to undergo major cardiac surgery and partly due to physician reluctance to refer for surgery due to high operative risk. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a less-invasive method of revascularization that has the potential to reduce periprocedural complications compared with CABG in patients with HF. Recent advances in PCI technology and technique have made it realistic to achieve more complete revascularization with PCI in high-risk patients with HF, although no randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) of PCI in HF compared with either medical therapy or CABG have been performed. In this review, we discuss the currently available evidence for PCI in HF and the association between the extent of revascularization and clinical outcomes in HF. We also review recent advances in PCI technology and techniques with the potential to improve clinical outcomes in HF. Finally, we discuss emerging clinical trial evidence of revascularization in HF and the large, persistent evidence gaps that should be addressed with future clinical trials of revascularization in HF.

Abstract
The increasing complexity of coronary artery lesions in patients with significant co-morbidities and the need for revascularization, but with the ineligibility for surgical approach, has turned the percutaneous coronary intervention a challenging task, especially in a setting in which short- and long-term complications after drug-eluting stent implantation are high. Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have become an important tool to replace stent placement in specific situations such as small coronary artery disease and in-stent restenosis. Although preliminary data of DCB use in complex lesions is promising, the available data are still limited. Therefore, in this article, we review the most recent and relevant literature about the use of DCB in native vessel disease and in complex anatomies/patients, and pretend to justify the necessity to develop well design trials about the use of this therapy in such settings, also thinking at DCBs as a complementary tool to drug-eluting stents.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this article was to compare rates of all-cause death at 10 years following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with or without diabetes. Methods and results The SYNTAXES study evaluated up to 10-year survival of 1800 patients with three-vessel disease (3VD) and/or left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) randomized to receive either PCI or CABG in the SYNTAX trial. Ten-year all-cause death according to diabetic status and revascularization strategy was examined. In diabetics (n = 452), the risk of mortality was numerically higher with PCI compared with CABG at 5 years [19.6% vs. 13.3%, hazard ratio (HR): 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.96, 2.43, P = 0.075], with the opposite seen between 5 and 10 years (PCI vs. CABG: 20.8% vs. 24.4%, HR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.52, 1.27, P = 0.366). Irrespective of diabetic status, there was no significant difference in all-cause death at 10 years between patients receiving PCI or CABG, the absolute treatment difference was 1.9% in diabetics (PCI vs. CABG: 36.4% vs. 34.5%, difference: 1.9%, 95% CI: −7.6%, 11.1%, P = 0.551). Among insulin-treated patients (n = 182), all-cause death at 10 years was numerically higher with PCI (47.9% vs. 39.6%, difference: 8.2%, 95% CI: −6.5%, 22.5%, P = 0.227). Conclusions The treatment effects of PCI vs. CABG on all-cause death at 10 years in patients with 3VD and/or LMCAD were similar irrespective of the presence of diabetes. There may, however, be a survival benefit with CABG in patients with insulin-treated diabetes. The association between revascularization strategy and very long-term ischaemic and safety outcomes for patients with diabetes needs further investigation in dedicated trials.
