Abstract
AIMS Complex and high-risk intervention in indicated patients (CHIP) is an emerging concept in the contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CHIP is known to consist three factors, namely, (1) patient factors, (2) complicated heart disease, and (3) complex PCI. However, it remains unclear whether additional CHIP factors further increase the incidence of complications in complex PCI. Thus, in this study, we aim to compare the incidence of complications among definite CHIP, possible CHIP, and non-CHIP in terms of complex PCI and to further investigate the association between CHIP and complications. METHODS The primary aim of this study was to determine the major complications in PCI. We included 989 PCI lesions and divided those into definite CHIP (n=140), possible CHIP (n=397), and the non-CHIP groups (n=452). RESULTS The incidence of major complications was noted to be the highest in the definite CHIP, followed by the possible CHIP, and lowest in the non-CHIP (p=0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis using a generalized estimating equation revealed definite CHIP (versus non-CHIP: odds ratio (OR) 2.099, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.062-4.150, p=0.033) was significantly associated with major complications after controlling for confounding factors. Another multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed immunosuppressive drugs (OR 3.040, 95% CI 1.251-7.386, p=0.014), unstable hemodynamics (OR 5.753, 95% CI 1.217-27.201, p=0.027), and frailty (OR 2.039, 95% CI 1.108-3.751, p=0.022) were significantly associated with major complications among CHIP factors. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of major complications in complex PCI was determined to be the highest in the definite CHIP, followed by the possible CHIP and lowest in the non-CHIP. Thus, more attention should be given to the three components of CHIP to prevent major complications in complex PCI.

Abstract
Long-living individuals (LLIs) escape age-related cardiovascular complications until the very last stage of life. Previous studies have shown that a Longevity-Associated Variant (LAV) of the BPI Fold Containing Family B Member 4 (BPIFB4) gene correlates with an extraordinarily prolonged life span. Moreover, delivery of the LAV-BPIFB4 gene exerted therapeutic action in murine models of atherosclerosis, limb ischemia, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and aging. We hypothesize that downregulation of BPIFB4 expression marks the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in human subjects, and supplementation of the LAV-BPIFB4 protects the heart from ischemia. In an elderly cohort with acute myocardial infarction (MI), patients with three-vessel CAD were characterized by lower levels of the natural logarithm (Ln) of peripheral blood BPIFB4 (p = 0.0077). The inverse association between Ln BPIFB4 and three-vessel CAD was confirmed by logistic regression adjusting for confounders (Odds Ratio = 0.81, p = 0.0054). Moreover, in infarcted mice, a single administration of LAV-BPIFB4 rescued cardiac function and vascularization. In vitro studies showed that LAV-BPIFB4 protein supplementation exerted chronotropic and inotropic actions on induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes. In addition, LAV-BPIFB4 inhibited the pro-fibrotic phenotype in human cardiac fibroblasts. These findings provide a strong rationale and proof of concept evidence for treating CAD with the longevity BPIFB4 gene/protein.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing interest in complex and high-risk intervention in indicated patients (CHIP) in the contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CHIP is composed of the following 3 factors: (1) patient factors, (2) complicated heart disease, and (3) complex PCI. However, there are few studies that investigated the long-term outcomes of CHIP-PCI. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among the definite CHIP, possible CHIP, and non-CHIP groups in complex PCI. We included 961 patients and divided them into the definite CHIP (n = 129), the possible CHIP (n = 369), and the non-CHIP groups (n = 463). During the median follow-up duration of 573 days (quartile 1:226 days to quartile 3:1,165 days), a total of 189 MACE were observed. The incidence of MACE was highest in the definite CHIP group, followed by the possible CHIP group, and lowest in the non-CHIP group (p = 0.001). Definite CHIP (vs non-CHIP: odds ratio 3.558, 95% confidence interval 2.249 to 5.629, p <0.001) and possible CHIP (vs non-CHIP: odds ratio 2.260, 95% confidence interval 1.563 to 3.266, p <0.001) were significantly associated with MACE after controlling for confounding factors. Among CHIP factors, active malignancy, pulmonary disease, hemodialysis, unstable hemodynamics, left ventricular ejection fraction, and valvular disease were significantly associated with MACE. In conclusion, the incidence of MACE in complex PCI was highest in the definite CHIP group, followed by the possible CHIP group, and lowest in the non-CHIP group. The concept of CHIP should be recognized to predict the long-term MACE in patients who undergo complex PCI.

The Prognostic Value of Cardiac Troponin I in Patients with or without Three-Vessel Disease Undergoing Complete Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11133896. [PMID: 35807181 PMCID: PMC9267560 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11133896] [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: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Postprocedural cardiac troponin I (cTnI) elevation commonly occurs in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, its prognostic value remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of peak postprocedural cTnI in cardiac patients with or without three-vessel disease (TVD) undergoing complete PCI. A total of 1237 consecutive patients (77% males, mean age 58 ± 10 years) with normal baseline cTnI levels were enrolled, 439 patients (77% males, 59 ± 10 years) with TVD, and 798 patients (77% males, 57 ± 10 years) with single- or double-vessel disease (non-TVD). The primary outcome was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, unplanned revascularization, re-hospitalization due to heart failure or severe arrhythmias, and all-cause death. During the median follow-up of 5.3 years, a total of 169 patients (13.7%) developed MACE, including 73 (16.6%) in the TVD group and 96 (12.0%) in the non-TVD group (p = 0.024). After adjustment, the multivariate Cox analysis showed that hypertension (HR 1.50; 95% CI: 1.01–2.20; p = 0.042), TVD (HR 1.44; 95% CI: 1.03–2.02; p = 0.033), and cTnI ≥ 70× URL (HR 2.47; 95% CI: 1.28–4.78, p = 0.007) were independently associated with increased MACE during long-term follow-up. Further subgroup analyses showed that cTnI ≥ 70× URL was an independent predictor of MACE in TVD patients (HR 3.32, 95% CI: 1.51–7.34, p = 0.003), but not in non-TVD patients (HR 1.01, 95%CI: 0.24–4.32, p = 0.991). In conclusion, elevation of post-PCI cTnI ≥ 70× URL is independently associated with a high risk of MACE during long-term follow-up in patients with TVD, but not in those with non-TVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate left atrial function in patients with triple-vessel disease (TVD) without myocardial infarction by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STE). METHODS Sixty patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) without myocardial infarction were classified into two groups in accordance with the coronary angiography results: group B (all triple-vessel stenosis ≥ 50% and < 75%) and group C (all triple-vessel stenosis ≥ 75%). Thirty healthy individuals were selected as group A. LA volume related parameters including left atrial maximum volume index (LAVImax), LA passive and active ejection fraction (LAPEF, LAAEF) and LA total ejection fraction (LATEF) were measured by RT-3DE. The global peak atrial longitudinal systolic strain (LASRs), early and late diastolic LA strain (LASRe and LASRa) rates were measured by 2D-STE. RESULTS We found statistically significant differences between 2D-STE and RT-3DE related parameters of these three groups. Furthermore, in groups B and C, N-terminal fragment brain natriuretic peptides (NT-pro-BNP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were found to be significantly correlated with LASRs and LASRa. And NT-pro-BNP had a moderate correlation with LVEDP. CONCLUSIONS 2D-STE and RT-3DE can assess the LA function in patients with TVD without myocardial infarction. And LA strain values may provide additional information for predicting increased LVEDP and NT-pro-BNP.

Abstract
Slow flow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common complication. Our group showed that the stent (or post-balloon) diameter-to-vessel diameter ratio was inversely associated with slow flow phenomenon. We advocated the utility of modest stent expansion strategy, which was defined as the stent (or post-balloon) diameter-to-culprit vessel diameter ratio < 0.71, for prevention of slow flow phenomenon. This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between the modest stent expansion strategy and the aggressive stent expansion strategy (the stent diameter-to-culprit vessel diameter ratio ≥ 0.71). We included 584 AMI patients, which were divided 177 patients in the modest stent expansion group and 146 patients in the aggressive stent expansion group. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), which was defined as a composite of cardiac death, ischemia driven target vessel revascularization, and stent thrombosis. The slow flow after stent deployment was more frequently observed in the aggressive stent expansion group (24.0%) than in the modest stent expansion group (4.0%) (P < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that MACE was comparable between the two groups (P = 0.64). The multivariate COX hazard model showed the non-significant association between the modest stent expansion strategy and MACE (vs. aggressive stent expansion: hazard ratio 1.005, 95% confidence interval 0.619-3.242, P = 0.41). In conclusion, the modest stent expansion strategy was not associated with long-term MACE. Therefore, the modest stent expansion strategy may be a good choice for the culprit lesion of AMI.

Comparison of clinical outcomes and left ventricular remodeling after ST-elevation myocardial infarction between patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Heart Vessels 2021; 36:1445-1456. [PMID: 33715109 PMCID: PMC8379135 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-021-01827-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is generally thought to be an adaptive but compromising phenomenon particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, whether the extent of LVR is associated with poor prognostic outcome with or without DM after STEMI in the modern era of reperfusion therapy has not been elucidated. This was a single-center retrospective observational study. Altogether, 243 patients who were diagnosed as having STEMI between January 2016 and March 2019, and examined with echocardiography at baseline (at the time of index admission) and mid-term (from 6 to 11 months after index admission) follow-up were included and divided into the DM (n = 98) and non-DM groups (n = 145). The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as the composite of all-cause death, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, and non-fatal myocardial infarction. The median follow-up duration was 621 days (interquartile range: 304–963 days). The DM group was significantly increased the rate of MACEs (P = 0.020) and HF hospitalization (P = 0.037) compared with the non-DM group, despite of less LVR. Multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that the patients with DM after STEMI were significantly associated with MACEs (Hazard ratio [HR] 2.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20–6.47, P = 0.017) and HF hospitalization (HR 3.62, 95% CI 1.19–11.02, P = 0.023) after controlling known clinical risk factors. LVR were also significantly associated with MACEs (HR 2.44, 95% CI 1.03–5.78, P = 0.044) and HF hospitalization (HR 3.76, 95% CI 1.15–12.32, P = 0.029). The patients with both DM and LVR had worse clinical outcomes including MACEs and HF hospitalization, suggesting that it is particularly critical to minimize LVR after STEMI in patients with DM.

Abstract
Although the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been decreasing in the elderly, it has been increasing in the young, especially in Japan. A social impact of AMI would be greater in the young, because loss of the young directly influences social activities such as business, child-raising, and tax payment. The aim of this study was to identify the specific characteristics of young AMI patients. We retrospectively included 408 consecutive AMI patients < 70 years of age, divided into a young group (< 55 years: n = 136) and an older group (55 to < 70 years: n = 272). The prevalence of overweight was greater in the young group (58.5%) than in the older group (40.7%) (P = 0.001). The frequency of current smokers was higher in the young group (67.6%) than in the older group (44.9%) (P < 0.001). Although the prevalence of hypertension was lower in the young group (66.7%) than in the older group (77.2%) (P = 0.017), that of untreated hypertension was greater in the young group (40.4%) than in the older group (27.2%) (P = 0.007). Furthermore, the prevalence of untreated dyslipidemia was greater in the young group (45.0%) than in the older group (26.6%) (P < 0.001). In conclusion, the young AMI patients had more modifiable risk factors such as obesity, smoking, untreated hypertension, and untreated dyslipidemia than the older patients. There is an unmet medical need for the prevention of AMI in the young generation.

Comparison of clinical outcomes of intravascular ultrasound-calcified nodule between percutaneous coronary intervention with versus without rotational atherectomy in a propensity-score matched analysis. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0241836. [PMID: 33152027 PMCID: PMC7643997 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0241836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the mid-term clinical outcomes of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-calcified nodules between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with and without rotational atherectomy (RA). BACKGROUND There has been a debate whether to use RA for the revascularization of calcified nodule. Although RA can ablate the calcified structure within calcified nodule and may facilitate adequate stent expansion, RA may provoke severe coronary perforation, because calcified nodule typically shows eccentric calcification. METHODS We included 204 lesions with IVUS-calcified nodule, and divided into 73 lesions treated with RA (RA group) and 131 lesions without RA (non-RA group). After propensity-score matching, 42 lesions with RA (matched RA group) and 42 lesions without RA (matched non-RA group) were selected. We compared the clinical characteristics and outcomes between the 2 groups before and after propensity-score matching. The primary endpoint was ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization (TVR) within 1 year. RESULTS Acute lumen area gain on IVUS was comparable between the matched RA group and matched non-RA group (3.9 ± 2.1 mm2 vs. 3.4 ± 1.6 mm2, p = 0.18). The stent malapposition at calcified nodules was frequently observed in both groups. The ischemia-driven TVR was not different between the 2 groups before (p = 0.82) and after propensity score-matching (p = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS The use of RA could not reduce the incidence of ischemia-driven TVR in lesions with IVUS-calcified nodule. Our results do not support the routine use of RA for lesions with IVUS-calcified nodule.

Abstract
Background Recent guidelines for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) recommended the door-to-balloon time (DTBT) <90 minutes. However, some patients could have poor clinical outcomes in spite of DTBT <90 minutes, which suggest the importance of therapeutic targets except DTBT. The purpose of this study was to find factors associated with poor clinical outcomes in STEMI patients with DTBT <90 minutes. Methods This retrospective study included 383 STEMI patients with DTBT <90 minutes. The primary endpoint was the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as the composite of all-cause death, acute myocardial infarction, and acute heart failure requiring hospitalization. Result The median follow-up duration was 281 days, and the cumulative incidence of MACE was 16.2%. In the multivariate Cox hazard model, low body mass index (< 20 kg/m2) (vs. >20 kg/m2: HR 2.80, 95% CI 1.39–5.64, p = 0.004), history of previous myocardial infarction (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.06–5.37, p = 0.04), and Killip class 3 or 4 (vs. Killip class 1 or 2: HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.30–4.40, p = 0.005) were significantly associated with MACE. In another multivariate Cox hazard model, flow worsening during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (HR 3.24, 95% CI 1.79–5.86, p<0.001) and use of mechanical support (HR 3.15, 95% CI 1.71–5.79, p<0.001) were significantly associated with MACE, whereas radial approach (HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.32–0.92, p = 0.02) was inversely associated with MACE. Conclusion Low body mass index, Killip class 3/4, history of previous myocardial infarction, use of mechanical support, and flow worsening were significantly associated with MACE, whereas radial-access was inversely associated with MACE. It is important to avoid flow worsening during primary PCI even when appropriate DTBT was achieved.

Abstract
Since the number of elderly patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been increasing in developed countries, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the very elderly aged ≥80 years old is already common. The study aimed to examine the determinants of in-hospital death among the very elderly with AMI in current PCI era. We included 412 consecutive AMI patients aged ≥ 80 years old who received PCI to the culprit lesion; however, 42 patients (10.2%) died during the index hospitalization. Thus, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the determinants of in-hospital death. Of note, the modified KATZ index, which is a seven-point scale ranging from 0 to 6 (0 point indicating no dependence and six points indicating full dependence), was calculated to evaluate pre-admission activity of daily living (ADL). In multivariate analysis, cardiac arrest (OR 4.642, 95% CI 1.177-18.305, P = 0.028), Killip class IV (versus Killip class I: OR 5.732, 95% CI 1.076-16.630, P = 0.001), modified KATZ index (OR 1.212, 95% CI 1.001-1.469, P = 0.049), hemoglobin levels (OR 0.803, 95% CI 0.656-0.983, P = 0.033), use of temporary pacemaker (OR 2.603, 95% CI 1.010-6.709, P = 0.048), final Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 (versus TIMI ≤ 2: OR 0.240, 95% CI 0.093-0.618, P = 0.003), and mechanical circulatory support (OR 4.264, 95% CI 1.818-10.005, P = 0.001) were found to be significantly associated with in-hospital death. In conclusion, in-hospital outcomes of the very elderly with AMI were still poor in the current PCI era. Poor pre-admission ADL as well as cardiogenic shock and anemia were determined to be strongly associated with in-hospital death.

Abstract
The current Japanese guideline for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) recommends 500-m walk electrocardiogram (ECG) test for patients with STEMI during hospitalization. However, little is known regarding the association between acute phase 500-m walk ECG test and clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between 500-m walk ECG test and mid-term clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI. A total of 313 STEMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary interventions were included, and were divided into the successful 500-m group (n = 263) and the unsuccessful 500-m group (n = 50). The primary endpoint was the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), which were defined as the composite of all cause death, acute myocardial infarction, readmission for heart failure, and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization (TVR). During the follow-up period (median 223 days), a total of 55 MACE were observed. The log-rank test revealed that MACE, all cause death, readmission for heart failure, and ischemia-driven TVR were more frequently observed in the unsuccessful 500-m group than the successful 500-m group. In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, the unsuccessful 500-m walk ECG test was significantly associated with MACE (OR 5.62, 95% CI 3.08-10.08, P < 0.01) after controlling confounding factors such as age, and serum creatinine levels. In conclusion, the unsuccessful 500-m walk ECG test was significantly associated with poor mid-term outcomes in patients with STEMI. Our results suggest the usefulness of 500-m walk ECG test to stratify the high-risk group from patients with STEMI.

Abstract
Persistent severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, whereas mid-term recovery of LV systolic function after AMI is associated with better long-term outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of mid-term improvement of LV ejection fraction (EF) in AMI patients. We included 210 AMI patients who had modified Simpson EF both at the index admission and mid-term follow up. The difference of EF between the index admission and mid-term follow-up was calculated in all study patients. The EF improvement group was defined as mid-term ≥ 10% EF increase compared with the index admission EF. Of 210 AMI patients, 46 (21.9%) were allocated to the EF improvement group and 164 (78.1%) to the non-EF improvement group. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) at the timing of admission was significantly greater in the EF improvement group (735.8 ± 1077.6 pg/mL) than in the non-EF improvement group (239.0 ± 419.8 pg/mL) (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that log10 BNP at the timing of admission (OR 3.36, 95% CI 1.69-6.66, P < 0.001) and left main trunk-left anterior descending artery (LM-LAD) as the infarct-related artery (OR 3.34, 95% CI 1.59-7.02, P = 0.001) were significantly associated with EF improvement. In conclusion, elevated BNP at the timing of admission and LM-LAD as the infarct-related artery were significantly associated with mid-term LVEF recovery. Our results support aggressive acute treatment for those severe AMI, because the possibility of mid-term LVEF recovery is greater compared with other AMI.

Abstract
Postcatheterization pseudoaneurysm is a serious complication following diagnostic or therapeutic catheterization. Because radial access is unsuitable in some situations, there is still a need to use femoral or brachial access for arterial catheterization. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence and clinical characteristics of pseudoaneurysm between brachial and femoral access. We identified patients who underwent arterial catheterization from our cardiac catheter records. A total of 5,990 cardiac catheter records and discharge summaries were reviewed, and 23 pseudoaneurysm cases were identified. Those pseudoaneurysm cases were divided into a brachial pseudoaneurysm group (n = 9) and a femoral pseudoaneurysm group (n = 14). The incidence of pseudoaneurysm was significantly higher in brachial access than in femoral access (odds ratio: 4.16, 95% confidence interval: 1.80-9.65; P < 0.001). Successful manual compression was frequently achieved in both the brachial (77.8%) and the femoral (92.9%) pseudoaneurysm groups (P = 0.295). Surgical intervention was more frequently performed in the brachial pseudoaneurysm group (22.2%) than in the femoral pseudoaneurysm group (0%) without reaching statistical significance (P = 0.07). Moreover, neurological disorders were observed only in the brachial pseudoaneurysm group (22.2%). In conclusion, the incidence of pseudoaneurysm was significantly higher in brachial access than in femoral access, indicating the potential risk of brachial access. Successful manual compression was frequently achieved in both groups, but neurological disorders were observed only in brachial access, suggesting the greater risk of brachial pseudoaneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Slow flow can be fatal in primary percutaneous coronary interventions for left main trunk (LMT)-acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, risk factors for slow flow in LMT-AMI have not been well investigated. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) may help to stratify the high-risk lesion for slow flow in LMT-AMI. METHODS A total of 51 LMT-AMI were included as the study population, and were divided into the slow-flow group (n=22) and the non-slow-flow group (n=29). Slow flow was defined as either transient or persistent Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade ≤2. RESULTS The incidence of in-hospital death was higher in the slow-flow group (27.3%) than the non-slow-flow group (10.3%) without reaching statistical significance (p=0.116). Although the reference diameter measured by angiography was not different between the two groups, the vessel diameter measured by IVUS was significantly longer in the slow-flow group (5.22±0.69mm) than in the non-slow-flow group (4.50±0.47mm) (p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the vessel diameter by IVUS (OR 27.487, 95%CI 3.975-190.062, p=0.001) and the vessel area by IVUS (OR 1.458, 95%CI 1.160-1.832, p=0.001) were significantly associated with slow flow. CONCLUSIONS In LMT-AMI, the vessel diameter measured by IVUS was closely associated with slow flow, while the reference diameter measured by angiography was not associated with slow flow. IVUS would be important to find high-risk features for slow flow in LMT-AMI.

Abstract
Multivessel disease (MVD) is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in acute myocardial infarction patients. Although several global risk scoring systems (RSS) are in use in clinical practice, there is no dedicated RSS for MVD in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The primary objective of this study is to develop a novel RSS to estimate the prognosis of patients with MVD in STEMI.We used the Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) to identify 2,030 STEMI patients with MVD who underwent appropriate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Their data were analyzed to develop a new RSS. The prognostic power of this RSS was validated with 2,556 STEMI patients with MVD in the Korean Working Group on Myocardial Infarction Registry (KORMI).Six prognostic factors related to all-cause death in STEMI patients with MVD were age, serum creatinine, Killip Class, lower body weight, decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction, and history of cerebrovascular disease. The RSS for all-cause death was constructed using these risk factors and their statistical weight. The RSS had appropriate performance (c-index: 0.72) in the KORMI validation cohort.We developed a novel RSS that estimates all-cause death in the year following discharge for patients with MVD in STEMI appropriately treated by PCI. This novel RSS was transformed into a simple linear risk score to yield a simplified estimate prognosis of MVD among STEMI patients.

Abstract
Right ventricular infarction (RVI) is a complication following inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of RVI in the contemporary primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) era. The primary endpoint was in-hospital death, and the secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, re-hospitalization for heart failure, and non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Event-free survival curves for MACE were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and statistical differences between curves were assessed using the log-lank test. A total of 1354 patients with AMI were screened from January 2010 to December 2016. The final study population involved 315 patients with STEMI whose infarct related artery (IRA) was the right coronary artery (RCA). We categorized these 315 patients into the RVI group (n = 85) and the non-RVI group (n = 230). Median follow-up duration was 358 (IQR: 208-987) days. In-hospital deaths were more frequently observed in the RVI group (9.4%) than in the non-RVI group (3.0%) (P = 0.018). However, the incidence of MACE was not different between the groups (P = 0.537). In conclusion, in-hospital clinical outcomes were poorer in the RVI group than in the non-RVI group. However, mid-term MACE was not different between the two groups, suggesting the importance of aggressive acute treatment for STEMI patients with RVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the manufacturer recommends that excessive speed reduction (>5000 rpm) be avoided during rotational atherectomy (RA) for safety, excessive speed reduction is sometimes observed in clinical practice. The purpose of the present study was to examine the factors associated with excessive speed reduction during RA. METHODS Lesions (n = 300) treated by RA were divided into 3 groups: a mild speed reduction group (≤5000 rpm) (n = 182), a moderate speed reduction group (>5000-≤10,000 rpm) (n = 97), and a severe speed reduction group (>10,000 rpm) (n = 21). Two multivariate logistic regression analyses was performed to investigate the factors associated with >5000 rpm speed reduction, and factors associated with >10,000 rpm speed reduction. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that an ostial right coronary artery (RCA) lesion (OR 6.13, 95% CI 1.82-20.70, P = 0.004) and total ablation time (every 10 s increase: OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05-1.14, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with >5000 rpm speed reduction. An ostial RCA lesion (OR 14.17, 95% CI 3.85-52.23, P < 0.001), use of intra-aortic balloon pump support (OR 4.19, 95% CI 1.18-14.87, P = 0.03), and systolic blood pressure just before RA (every 10 mmHg increase: OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.02-1.52, P = 0.03) were significantly associated with >10,000 rpm speed reduction. CONCLUSIONS RA of ostial RCA lesions was significantly associated with excessive speed reduction during RA, which implies that RA of ostial RCA lesions is technically more difficult than RA of non-ostial RCA lesions.

Abstract
Because living alone is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in men but not women, living alone may be a risk factor of cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in diabetic men. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between living alone and mid-term clinical outcomes after AMI in diabetic men. We conducted a single center, retrospecitve study. The primary endpoint was the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as the composite of all cause death, AMI, and target vessel revascularization. A total of 253 AMI men with diabetes mellitus were included from our hospital records, and divided into the living together group (n = 203) and the living alone group (n = 50). Median follow-up duration was 239 days (Q1: 94 days, Q3: 451 days). A total of 66 MACE was observed during the study period, and Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed to compare the MACE. The MACE was more frequently observed in the living alone group than the living together group (P = 0.041). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the living alone group was significantly associated with the MACE (Odds ratio: 1.770, 95% confidence interval 1.018-3.077, P = 0.043) after known clinical risk factors. In conclusion, living alone was significantly associated with the mid-term MACE after AMI in diabetic men. It may be important to provide multiple interventions including lifestyle guidance as well as sufficient acute medical care for such high-risk patients.

Abstract
In primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), revascularization to the main branch is considered to be more important than that to the side branch. The purpose of the present study was to compare in-hospital clinical outcomes between sufficient and insufficient diagonal flow in patients with anterior ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction. A total of 229 left anterior descending artery (LAD)-AMI with final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI)-3 LAD flow were included, and divided into the sufficient diagonal flow group (TIMI-3 diagonal flow: n = 170) and the insufficient diagonal flow group (TIMI ≤ 2 diagonal flow: n = 59). The primary endpoint was the incidence of mechanical complication. The secondary endpoints were incidences of in-hospital death, heart failure at discharge, and left ventricular thrombus. There were no significant differences in the primary endpoint (the sufficient diagonal flow group: 1.2%, the insufficient diagonal flow group: 0%, P = 0.403). In-hospital death was more frequently observed in the insufficient diagonal flow group (8.5%) than the sufficient diagonal flow group (2.9%) without reaching statistical significance (P = 0.073). The incidence of heart failure at discharge, and thrombus in left ventricular were not different between the two groups. In conclusion, in-hospital outcomes were not significantly different between the sufficient and insufficient diagonal flow groups. We may not stick to the diagonal flow in LAD-STEMI, as long as the LAD flow is maintained by PCI.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary interventions to the proximal left anterior descending artery (pLAD)-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are still challenging, especially in the ostial pLAD. Clinical outcomes of the ostial pLAD-AMI were not well investigated. The aim of the present study was to compare clinical outcomes of the ostial pLAD-AMI with those of the non-ostial pLAD-AMI. The primary endpoint was the major cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiac death, AMI, stent thrombosis (ST), target lesion revascularization (TLR), and target vessel revascularization (TVR). Between January 2009 and March 2016, a total of 401 pLAD-AMI were included as the study population and were divided into 78 ostial pLAD-AMI (the ostial pLAD group), and 323 non-ostial pLAD-AMI (the non-ostial pLAD group). The median follow-up duration was 414 days. The MACE tended to be higher in the ostial pLAD group (8.0% at 30 days, 19.9% at 400 days) than in the non-ostial pLAD group (4.4% at 30 days, 12.9% at 400 days) without reaching statistical significance (P = 0.087). The prevalence of cardiac death was significantly higher in the ostial pLAD group (6.6% at 30 days, 9.5% at 400 days) as compared with the non-ostial pLAD group (3.1% at 30 days, 4.5% at 400 days) (P = 0.034). There were no significant differences in ST, AMI, TLR, or TVR. We concluded that, as compared with the non-ostial pLAD-AMI, the clinical outcomes of the ostial pLAD-AMI, especially cardiac death, tended to be worse, requiring special attention to the ostial pLAD-AMI.

Abstract
Slow flow is a serious complication in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Our previous study revealed that the ratio of stent diameter to vessel diameter was the determinant of slow flow in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI to the culprit lesion of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The purpose of this study was to verify whether the ratio of stent diameter to vessel diameter is the determinant of slow flow in IVUS-guided PCI to the culprit lesion of non-STEMI (NSTEMI). We included 150 NSTEMI patients and divided into the slow flow group (n = 17) and the non-slow flow group (n = 133). The ratio of stent diameter to vessel diameter was significantly larger in the slow flow group (0.77 ± 0.11) than the non-slow flow group (0.71 ± 0.11) (P = 0.03). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the ratio of stent diameter to vessel diameter (per 0.1 increase: OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.23-3.46, P = 0.006) was the determinant of slow flow after controlling covariates. In conclusion, the ratio of stent diameter to vessel diameter was the determinant of slow flow in IVUS-guided PCI to the culprit lesion of NSTEMI. Unlike other parameters, the ratio of stent diameter to vessel diameter is the modifiable parameters. We may consider the modest stent expansion strategy rather than the aggressive stent expansion strategy in IVUS-guided PCI to the culprit lesion of NSTEMI.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between right coronary dominance and coronary angiographic characteristics in patients with or without significant coronary artery disease (CAD).A total of 2225 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) between January 2011 and November 2014 were recruited in our study. Based on the CAG results, patients were divided into the left dominance (LD) group, right dominance (RD) group, and co-dominance (CD) group. Multinomial logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationships between coronary dominance and triple-vessel CAD.We found that patients with RD had a higher prevalence of triple-vessel CAD (36.6% vs 27.3%, P = .008) and significant stenosis in the right coronary artery (40.5% vs 29.2%, P = .001). In addition, results of multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that RD was significantly associated with the triple-vessel disease (odds ratio 1.768, 95% confidence interval 1.057-2.956, P = .030).In conclusion, RD positively correlated with triple-vessel CAD rather than LD or CD in patients. This result suggested that RD may serve as a risk factor for triple-vessel CAD and more effective measures should be taken in RD patients to prevent fatal cardiovascular events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The guide extension catheter is frequently used in current percutaneous coronary intervention, and the GuideLiner (Vascular Solutions Inc., Minneapolis, MN) has been the standard guide extension catheter. Recently, the Guideplus (Nipro, Osaka, Japan) has emerged as a new guide extension catheter. The aim of the present study was to compare device performance between the Guideplus and GuideLiner. METHODS We compared the purpose of guide extension catheter and the device unsuccessful rate between the Guideplus and GuideLiner. We classified the purpose of guide extension catheter into 4 categories: (1) to advance devices into the target lesion, (2) to engage guide catheter into the ostium, (3) to support the small profile balloon crossing the CTO or 99% stenosis that the microcatheter could not cross, and (4) others. RESULTS Ninety-two lesions were classified as the Guideplus group, whereas 103 lesions were classified as the GuideLiner group. The purpose of guide extension catheter was significantly different between the 2 groups (P < 0.001). The Guideplus was frequently used to support the small profile balloon crossing the CTO or 99% stenosis (20.7%), whereas the GuideLiner was not used (0%). The device unsuccessful rate was significantly less in the Guideplus (8.7%) than in the GuideLiner (20.4%) (P = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS The purpose of guide extension catheter was significantly different between the Guideplus and GuideLiner. The Guideplus was more frequently used to support the small profile balloon crossing the CTO or 99% stenosis. The device unsuccessful rate was less in the Guideplus, which may suggest the better performance as the guide extension catheter.

Abstract
Primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have been developed to improve clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In primary PCI, the door-to-balloon time (DTBT) is closely associated with mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study was to find determinants of short and long DTBT. From our hospital record, we included 214 STEMI patients, and divided into the short DTBT group (DTBT < 60 min, n = 60), the intermediate DTBT group (60 min ≤ DTBT ≤ 120 min, n = 121) and the long DTBT group (DTBT > 120 min, n = 33). In-hospital mortality was highest in the long DTBT group (24.2%), followed by the intermediate DTBT group (5.8%), and lowest in the short DTBT group (0%) (< 0.001). Transfers from local clinics or hospitals (OR 3.43, 95% CI 1.72-6.83, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with short DTBT, whereas Killip class 3 or 4 (vs. Killip class 1 or 2: OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.06-0.64, P = 0.007) was inversely associated with short DTBT in multivariate analysis. In conclusion, transfer from local clinics/hospitals was associated with short DTBT. Our results may suggest the current limitation of ambulance system, which does not include pre-hospital ECG system, in Japan. The development of pre-hospital ECG system would be needed for better management in STEMI.

Clinical outcomes of left main crossover stenting for ostial left anterior descending artery acute myocardial infarction. Heart Vessels 2017; 33:33-40. [PMID: 28776068 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-017-1033-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2017] [Accepted: 07/30/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Percutaneous coronary interventions to ostial left anterior descending artery (LAD)-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were challenging, especially in crossover stenting from left main trunk (LMT) to LAD. The clinical outcomes of ostial LAD-AMI that needed crossover stenting were not well investigated. The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of LMT crossover stenting with those of ostial LAD just proximal (jp) stenting. Between January 2009 and March 2016, 1499 patients were diagnosed as AMI in our institution. Among them, 76 ostial LAD-AMIs were included in this study, and divided into 30 LMT crossover stenting (the crossover group) and 46 jp stenting (the jp stenting group). The primary endpoint was major cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as the composite of cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stent thrombosis (ST), target lesion revascularization (TLR) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). The frequency of MACE was comparable between the 2 groups (16.7% in the crossover group and 21.7% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.587). Similarly, the frequency of cardiac death was comparable between the 2 groups (6.7% in the crossover group and 13.0% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.376). The frequencies of TLR (6.7% in the crossover group and 6.5% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.980) and TVR (10.0% in the crossover group and 8.7% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.848) were not significantly different between the 2 groups. In conclusion, the clinical outcomes of the crossover stenting were comparable to the jp stenting in the stenting strategy for ostial LAD-AMI. LMT-LAD crossover stenting would be the acceptable strategy for ostial LAD-AMI.
