Outcomes of ultra-low contrast percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2024; 104:227-233. [PMID: 38932577 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31128] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) and requirement for renal replacement therapy (RRT). OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate our single center experience of ultra-low contrast PCI in patients with CKD and to characterize 1 year outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of ultra-low contrast PCI at our institution between 2016 and 2022. Patients with CKD3b-5 (eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73m2), not on RRT who underwent ultra-low contrast PCI ( < 30 mL of contrast during PCI) were included. Primary outcomes included change in eGFR post-procedurally, and death, RRT requirement, and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 1 year follow-up. RESULTS One hundred patients were included in the study. The median age was 67 years old and 28% were female. The median baseline eGFR was 21.5 mL/min/1.73m2 (IQR 14.08-32.0 mL/min/1.73m2). A median of 8.0 mL (IQR 0-15 mL) of contrast was used during PCI. Median contrast use to eGFR ratio was 0.37 (IQR 0-0.59). There was no significant difference between pre-and postprocedure eGFR (p = 0.84). At 1 year, 8% of patients died, 11% required RRT and 33% experienced MACE. The average time of RRT initiation was 7 months post-PCI. Forty-four patients were undergoing renal transplant evaluation, of which 17 (39%) received a transplant. CONCLUSIONS In patients with advanced CKD, ultra-low contrast PCI is feasible and safe with minimal need for peri-procedural RRT. Moreover, ultra-low contrast PCI may allow for preservation of renal function in anticipation of renal transplantation.

Absolute zero-contrast percutaneous coronary interventions: An intravascular ultrasound-guided case series and literature review. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 62:95-104. [PMID: 38135569 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2023.12.008] [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: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Contrast media (CM)-associated adverse effects including mainly acute kidney injury and hypersensitivity reactions still remain a significant treatment burden to vulnerable patients requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The complete omission of CM administration accompanied by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance may offer an appropriate revascularization treatment. METHODS We hereby present a case series of four patients with challenging coronary lesions and relative/absolute contraindications to CM use [(hypersensitivity reaction owning to CM, history of contrast-induced acute kidney injury, solitary kidney, or advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD)] who underwent absolute zero-contrast IVUS-guided PCI following a predetermined protocol. RESULTS The initial diagnostic angiography was reviewed for landmark identification, and multiple guidewires created a metallic road map providing additional landmarks and protected side branches. IVUS imaging was performed to determine lesion length, reference segments and landing zones, assess stent expansion/apposition and identify major complications. All procedures were successfully completed without any CM administration, renal function deterioration, pericardial effusion, or stent edge dissection. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated the feasibility of absolute zero-contrast IVUS-guided PCI in patients with complex coronary lesions susceptible to CM-associated adverse effects. Since the safety of this strategy is well-documented in patients with CKD and challenging lesions morphology even in acute settings, evidence-based validation of this approach is capable of changing the otherwise conservative treatment of vulnerable patients where even minimum doses of CM may have detrimental effects. SUMMARY FOR THE ANNOTATED TABLE OF CONTENTS Patients with vulnerable renal function as well as former hypersensitivity reaction to contrast media encounter a significant treatment burden regarding coronary artery disease. Zero-contrast IVUS-guided strategy based on a predetermined protocol provides a feasible alternative approach in patients susceptible to contrast media-associated adverse effects even in the presence of complex coronary lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultra-low contrast administration during coronary angiography has been previously shown to be feasible and safe among patients with stable chronic kidney disease. In the present study, we investigate the safety of ultra-low contrast coronary angiography in patients with pre-existing acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS The study was a retrospective single-center evaluation of hospitalized patients who had AKI and required coronary angiography. Ultra-low contrast use was defined as ≤18 mL of contrast media. RESULTS The cohort consisted of a case series of eight inpatients with AKI who required coronary angiography. The mean age was 57 (±16) years and half were females. All patients had chronic kidney disease with a mean baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate of 34 (±17) mL/min/1.73 m2. The mean creatinine before angiography was 3 (±1) mg/dL and volume of contrast administered was 14 (±4) mL. One patient had a 0.1 mg/dL increase in creatinine during admission, and no patients had further AKI up to 1-week postprocedure. CONCLUSIONS The current data suggest that ultra-low contrast coronary angiography can be safely performed in patients with pre-existing AKI The study should be viewed as hypothesis-generating due to its small sample size. A larger cohort is required to validate the results.

Abstract
Background Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is usually diagnosed with non-invasive arterial testing methods such as Doppler ultrasound or computed tomography angiography and treated with revascularization using contrast media, which increases the risk of contrast nephropathy and the need for subsequent renal replacement therapy, especially in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, it is important to identify a worthy alternative strategy for use in high-risk patients. Case summary We present the case of a 79-year-old man with bilateral claudication and advanced CKD. The patient had a high risk of sustained reduction in renal function and requirement of renal replacement therapy in the event that contrast media was used. Therefore, we planned a zero-contrast strategy for diagnosis and treatment. The case was diagnosed as bilateral stenotic iliac disease with non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography. Zero-contrast intervention was conducted successfully under magnetic resonance angiography and intra-vascular ultrasound guidance, resulting in an excellent clinical outcome and avoidance of worsening renal function. Discussion This zero-contrast strategy appears to be a viable alternative to angiography using contrast for diagnosis and treatment in patients with PAD and advanced CKD where contrast use is relatively contraindicated.

Abstract
Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is a fairly frequent complication of cardiovascular angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The risk is significantly higher in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Prevention is the only option for avoiding the significant morbidity and mortality associated with CA-AKI. This review provides a concise and clinically directed appraisal of the latest pre-procedural and peri-procedural strategies to minimize the risk of CA-AKI in all patients undergoing PCI. By broadly implementing these evidence-based care bundles, we can dramatically improve outcomes in this vulnerable patient population.

Prognostic value of malnutrition evaluated using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria and its association with psoas muscle volume in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Heart Vessels 2022; 37:2002-2012. [PMID: 35699761 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-022-02113-z] [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: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a systemic inflammatory disease that causes hypotrophy and skeletal muscle loss. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria have been developed as a novel evaluation index for malnutrition, with reported usefulness in HF caused by ischemic heart disease. However, reports on the usefulness of malnutrition evaluated by the GLIM criteria in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) and its relationship with psoas muscle volume are lacking. We investigated the prognostic value of malnutrition evaluated using the GLIM criteria and its association with psoas muscle volume in patients with NIDCM. We enrolled 139 consecutive patients with NIDCM between December 2000 and June 2020. Malnutrition was evaluated using the GLIM criteria on admission. The median follow-up period was 4.7 years. Cardiac events were defined as a composite of cardiac death, hospitalization for worsening HF, and lethal arrhythmia. Furthermore, we measured the psoas muscle volume using computed tomography volumetry in 48 patients. At baseline, the median age was 50 years, and 132 patients (95.0%) had New York Heart Association functional class I or II HF. The median psoas muscle volume was 460.8 cm3. A total of 26 patients (18.7%) were malnourished according to the GLIM criteria. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that malnourished patients had more cardiac events than non-malnourished patients (log-rank, P < 0.001). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that GLIM criteria-based malnutrition was an independent determinant of cardiac events (hazard ratio, 2.065; 95% confidence interval, 1.166-3.656; P = 0.014). Psoas muscle volume, which was assessed in a total of 48 patients, was lower in malnourished than in non-malnourished patients (median, 369.0 vs. 502.3 cm3; P = 0.035) and correlated with body mass index (r = 0.441; P = 0.002). Nutritional screening using the GLIM criteria may be useful in predicting future cardiac events in patients with NIDCM, reflecting a potential relationship between malnutrition and a low psoas muscle volume.
