Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with previous acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at high risk of recurrent adverse cardiovascular events. Recently, prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) have been shown to reduce recurrent ischemic events to the expense of an increase in bleeding events. The number of patients potentially eligible for these therapies in real life remains to be determined. METHODS Among ACS patients from five registries and one randomized controlled trial, we assessed the proportion of patients eligible for the PEGASUS strategy only and the proportion of patients eligible for the COMPASS strategy only, and set out the proportion of patients with an overlap between the strategies. FINDINGS Among the 10,048 evaluable patients, we found that 5373 (53.4%) were eligible for the PEGASUS strategy and 3841 (38.2%) were eligible for the COMPASS strategy, with a group of 3444 (34.4%) overlapping between the two strategies. The number of patients eligible for the PEGASUS strategy only was 1929 (19.2%) and the number eligible for the COMPASS strategy only was 397 (4.0%); 4278 (42.6%) were eligible for neither a PEGASUS strategy nor a COMPASS strategy. INTERPRETATION In a large cohort of ACS patients, one in three patients was eligible for either a prolonged DAPT with ticagrelor 60 mg and low-dose aspirin or a dual pathway inhibition approach with rivaroxaban 2.5 mg and low-dose aspirin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of potent P2Y12 inhibitors (ticagrelor & prasugrel) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is a class I recommendation. We performed a sex-specific analysis comparing the difference in efficacy and safety outcomes between ticagrelor and prasugrel in a real-world ACS population. METHODS Data from the multicenter REgistry of New Antiplatelets in patients with Myocardial Infarction (RENAMI) for 4424 ACS patients who underwent PCI and were treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel between 2012 to 2016 were analyzed. Mean follow-up was 17±9 months. RESULTS After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of primary endpoint of net adverse cardiac events between ticagrelor and prasugrel in men (HR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.69-1.29; P=0.71), or women (HR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.63-2.20; P=0.62; P interaction [sex] = 0.40). Similarly, no differences were found in the occurrence of any of the secondary endpoints (MACE, all cause death, re-infarction, stent thrombosis, BARC major bleeding and BARC any bleeding) between the two P2Y12 groups between men and women. CONCLUSIONS In this real-world ACS population, no relative difference in efficacy or safety outcomes were found between ticagrelor and prasugrel between sexes.

Abstract
Background:
The rate of intracranial haemorrhage after an acute coronary syndrome has been studied in detail in the era of thrombolysis; however, in the contemporary era of percutaneous coronary intervention, most of the data have been derived from clinical trials. With this background, we aim to analyse the incidence, timing, predictors and prognostic impact of post-discharge intracranial haemorrhage in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods:
We analysed data from the BleeMACS registry (patients discharged for acute coronary syndrome and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention from Europe, Asia and America, 2003–2014). Analyses were conducted using a competing risk framework. Uni and multivariate predictors of intracranial haemorrhage were assessed using the Fine–Gray proportional hazards regression analysis. The endpoint was 1-year post-discharge intracranial haemorrhage.
Results:
Of 11,136 patients, 30 presented with intracranial haemorrhage during the first year (0.27%). The median time to intracranial haemorrhage was 150 days (interquartile range 55.7–319.5). The fatality rate of intracranial haemorrhage was very high (30%). After multivariate analysis, only age (subhazard ratio 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.07) and prior stroke/transient ischaemic attack (hazard ratio 3.29, 95% confidence interval 1.36–8.00) were independently associated with a higher risk of intracranial haemorrhage. Hypertension showed a trend to associate with higher intracranial haemorrhage rate. The combination of older age (⩾75 years), prior stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and/or hypertension allowed us to identify most of the patients with intracranial haemorrhage (86.7%). The annual rate of intracranial haemorrhage was 0.1% in patients with no risk factors, 0.2% in those with one factor, 0.6% in those with two factors and 1.3% in those with three factors.
Conclusion:
The incidence of intracranial haemorrhage in the first year after an acute coronary syndrome treated with percutaneous coronary intervention is low. Advanced age, previous stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and hypertension are the main predictors of increased intracranial haemorrhage risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Real-life data comparing clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor for unselected patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are lacking, as are data for the temporal distribution of ischemic and bleeding risks. METHODS A total of 19,825 patients were enrolled from the RENAMI and BleeMACS registries. Both were multicenter, retrospective, observational registries including the data and outcomes of consecutive patients with ACS who underwent primary PCI and were discharged with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). We evaluated the long-term outcome stratified by the different antiplatelet agents. RESULTS A total of 14,105 patients (71.2%) were treated with clopidogrel, 2364 patients (11.9%) with prasugrel and 3356 patients (16.9%) with ticagrelor. After propensity score matching, at 1 year, prasugrel reduced the incidence of net adverse clinical events (NACE; a composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction [MI] and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium [BARC] 3-5 bleeding) (4.2% vs.7.6%, p = 0.002) and of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; a composite endpoint of death and MI) compared with clopidogrel (2.6% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.007). Ticagrelor decreased rates of MACE compared with clopidogrel (2.7% vs. 6.2%, p < 0.001), but not of NACE (6.6% vs. 8.7%, p = 0.07). Ticagrelor presented similar performance in terms of MACE compared with prasugrel (2.8% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.56), with a trend towards a reduction in MI (0.2% vs. 0.4%, p = 0.56), but with higher risk of BARC 3-5 bleedings (3.8% vs. 1.7%, p = 0.04). In the daily risk analysis, clopidogrel presented a binomial distribution with a peak of ischemic risk at 3 months, which decreased towards bleedings; prasugrel had a constant equivalence between opposite risks; and ticagrelor constantly reduced recurrent MIs despite higher risk of BARC 3-5 events. CONCLUSION In real life, ticagrelor is more effective in reducing ischemic events during the first year after ACS, despite an increased risk of major bleedings, while prasugrel assures a better balance between ischemic and bleeding recurrent events.

Abstract
Introduction The benefits of short versus long-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) based on the third generation P2Y12 antagonists prasugrel or ticagrelor, in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with percutaneous coronary intervention remain to be clearly defined due to current evidences limited to patients treated with clopidogrel. Methods All acute coronary syndrome patients from the REgistry of New Antiplatelets in patients with Myocardial Infarction (RENAMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and treated with aspirin, prasugrel or ticagrelor were stratified according to DAPT duration, that is, shorter than 12 months (D1 group), 12 months (D2 group) and longer than 12 months (D3 group). The three groups were compared before and after propensity score matching. Net adverse clinical events (NACEs), defined as a combination of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and major bleedings (including therefore all cause death, myocardial infarction and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 3–5 bleeding), were the primary end points, MACEs (a composite of all cause death and myocardial infarction) the secondary one. Single components of NACEs were co-secondary end points, along with BARC 2–5 bleeding, cardiovascular death and stent thrombosis. Results A total of 4424 patients from the RENAMI registry with available data on DAPT duration were included in the model. After propensity score matching, 628 patients from each group were selected. After 20 months of follow up, DAPT for 12 months and DAPT for longer than 12 months significantly reduced the risk of NACE (D1 11.6% vs. D2 6.7% vs. D3 7.2%, p = 0.003) and MACE (10% vs. 6.2% vs. 2.4%, p < 0.001) compared with DAPT for less than 12 months. These differences were driven by a reduced risk of all cause death (7.8% vs. 1.3% vs. 1.6%, p < 0.001), cardiovascular death (5.1% vs. 1.0% vs. 1.2%, p < 0.0001) and recurrent myocardial infarction (8.3% vs. 5.2% vs. 3.5%, p = 0.002). NACEs were lower with longer DAPT despite a higher risk of BARC 2–5 bleedings (4.6% vs. 5.7% vs. 6.2%, p = 0.04) and a trend towards a higher risk of BARC 3–5 bleedings (2.4% vs. 3.3% vs. 3.9%, p = 0.06). These results were not consistent for female patients and those older than 75 years old, due to an increased risk of bleedings which exceeded the reduction in myocardial infarction. Conclusion In unselected real world acute coronary syndrome patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, DAPT with prasugrel or ticagrelor prolonged beyond 12 months markedly reduces fatal and non-fatal ischaemic events, offsetting the increased risk deriving from the higher bleeding risk. On the contrary, patients >75 years old and female ones showed a less favourable risk–benefit ratio for longer DAPT due to excess of bleedings.

Abstract
The association between prior stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has not been well explored. We evaluated the impact of prior stroke/TIA on this specific patient population. We conducted an international multicenter study including 15 401 patients with ACS from the Bleeding Complications in a Multicenter Registry of Patients Discharged With Diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome registry. They were divided into 2 groups: patients with and without prior stroke/TIA. The primary end point was death at 1-year follow-up. Prior stroke/TIA was associated with higher rate of 1-year death (8.7% vs 3.4%; P < .001). It was an independent predictor of 1-year death even after adjustment for confounding variables (odds ratio, 1.705; 95% confidence interval, 1.046-2.778; P = .032). Besides, patients with prior stroke/TIA had significantly increased 1-year reinfarction (5.6% vs 3.8%, P = .015), in-hospital bleeding (8.7% vs 5.8%, P < .001), and 1-year bleeding (5.2% vs 3.0%, P < .001). No difference of antithrombotic therapies or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) types on outcomes was observed in patients with prior stroke/TIA. Prior stroke/TIA was associated with higher 1-year death for patients with ACS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. No benefits or harms were observed with different antithrombotic therapies or DAPT types in these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
The aim of the present study was to establish the safety and efficacy profile of prasugrel and ticagrelor in real-life acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with renal dysfunction.
Methods and results
All consecutive patients from RENAMI (REgistry of New Antiplatelets in patients with Myocardial Infarction) and BLEEMACS (Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome) registries were stratified according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) lower or greater than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Death and myocardial infarction (MI) were the primary efficacy endpoints. Major bleedings (MBs), defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium bleeding types 3 to 5, constituted the safety endpoint. A total of 19 255 patients were enrolled. Mean age was 63 ± 12; 14 892 (77.3%) were males. A total of 2490 (12.9%) patients had chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Mean follow-up was 13 ± 5 months. Mortality was significantly higher in CKD patients (9.4% vs. 2.6%, P < 0.0001), as well as the incidence of reinfarction (5.8% vs. 2.9%, P < 0.0001) and MB (5.7% vs. 3%, P < 0.0001). At Cox multivariable analysis, potent P2Y12 inhibitors significantly reduced the mortality rate [hazard ratio (HR) 0.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54–0.96; P = 0.006] and the risk of reinfarction (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.30–0.95; P = 0.033) in CKD patients as compared to clopidogrel. The reduction of risk of reinfarction was confirmed in patients with preserved renal function. Potent P2Y12 inhibitors did not increase the risk of MB in CKD patients (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.59–1.68; P = 0.985).
Conclusion
In ACS patients with CKD, prasugrel and ticagrelor are associated with lower risk of death and recurrent MI without increasing the risk of MB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available concerning differences in clinical outcomes for real-life patients treated with ticagrelor versus prasugrel after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine and compare the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor and prasugrel in a real-world population. METHODS RENAMI was a retrospective, observational registry including the data and outcomes of consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent primary PCI and were discharged with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) between January 2012 and January 2016. The mean follow-up period was 17 ± 9 months. In total, 11 university hospitals from six European countries participated. After propensity-score matching, there were no substantial differences in the baseline clinical and interventional features. All patients were treated with acetylsalicylic acid plus prasugrel 10 mg once daily or acetylsalicylic acid plus ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily. Mean duration of DAPT was 12.04 ± 3.4 months with prasugrel and 11.90 ± 4.1 months with ticagrelor (p = 0.47). The primary and secondary endpoints were long-term net adverse clinical events (NACE) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), respectively, along with their single components. Subgroup analysis for freedom from NACE and MACE was performed according to length of DAPT and clinical presentation [ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)-ACS versus non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)-ACS]. RESULTS In total, 4424 patients (2725 ticagrelor, 1699 prasugrel) were enrolled. After propensity-score matching, 1290 patients in each cohort were included in the analysis. At 12 months, the incidence of both NACE and MACE was lower with prasugrel (NACE: 5.3% vs. 8.5% [p = 0.001]; MACE: 5% vs. 8.1% [p = 0.001]) mainly driven by a reduction in recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) (2.4 vs. 4.0%; p = 0.029) and a lower rate of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 3-5 bleeding (1.5 vs. 2.9%; p = 0.011). The benefit of prasugrel was confirmed for patients with NSTEMI and for those discharged with a DAPT regimen of ≤ 12 months. Only a trend in the reduction of NACE and MACE was noted for STEMI or for those treated with longer DAPT. CONCLUSIONS Comparison of these drugs suggested that prasugrel is safer and more efficacious than ticagrelor in combination with aspirin after NSTEMI but not STEMI. No differences were found for events occurring after 12 months. The nonrandomized design of the present research means further studies are required to support these findings.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
The Acute Cardiac Care Association (ACCA)–European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (EAPCI) Registry on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) of the EurObservational programme (EORP) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) registry aimed to determine the current state of the use of reperfusion therapy in ESC member and ESC affiliated countries and the adherence to ESC STEMI guidelines in patients with STEMI.
Methods and results
Between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2018, a total of 11 462 patients admitted with an initial diagnosis of STEMI according to the 2012 ESC STEMI guidelines were enrolled. Individual patient data were collected across 196 centres and 29 countries. Among the centres, there were 136 percutaneous coronary intervention centres and 91 with cardiac surgery on-site. The majority of centres (129/196) were part of a STEMI network. The main objective of this study was to describe the demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics of patients with STEMI. Other objectives include to assess management patterns and in particular the current use of reperfusion therapies and to evaluate how recommendations of most recent STEMI European guidelines regarding reperfusion therapies and adjunctive pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are adopted in clinical practice and how their application can impact on patients’ outcomes. Patients will be followed for 1 year after admission.
Conclusion
The ESC ACCA-EAPCI EORP ACS STEMI registry is an international registry of care and outcomes of patients hospitalized with STEMI. It will provide insights into the contemporary patient profile, management patterns, and 1-year outcome of patients with STEMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of a functioning arteriovenous fistula on cardiac function in kidney transplant recipients has not been thoroughly investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated cardiac function in 99 renal transplant recipients using transthoracic echocardiography, with available follow-up at baseline and 2 and 5 years posttransplant. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a control group (n = 47) with no functioning arteriovenous fistula immediately after transplant and an arteriovenous fistula group (n = 52) with a functioning arteriovenous fistula for at least 5 years after transplant. Left ventricular ejection fraction, diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum, and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter were assessed. RESULTS In our study, patients (62.6% men, 7.1% with diabetes, mean age of 55.6 ± 11.5 years), we observed no significant differences with respect to baseline left ventricular ejection fraction and interventricular septum; however, in the arteriovenous fistula group, baseline left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was marginally higher than that shown in the control group (50.6 ± 5.4 vs 48.6 ± 4.4 mm; P = .054). In multivariate analysis, functioning fistula and peripheral arterial disease were negatively associated with left ventricular ejection fraction at 5 years posttransplant, whereas baseline left ventricular ejection fraction had a minimal positive effect: B (95% confidence interval) of -2.186 (-4.312 to -0.061) (P = .044), -5.304 (-9.686 to -0.922) (P = .018), and 0.247 (0.047 to 0.446) (P = .016), respectively. Functioning fistula also emerged as associated with larger left ventricular end-diastolic diameter at 2 and 5 years posttransplant: B (95% confidence interval) of 3.047 (1.470-4.625) (P < .001) and 2.122 (0.406-3.838) (P = .016), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Maintenance of a functioning fistula in kidney transplant recipients may be associated with adverse long-term effects on left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES For patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), it is unclear whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) are associated with reduced mortality, particularly with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The goal of this study was to determine the association between ACEI/ARB and mortality in ACS patients undergoing PCI, with and without reduced LVEF. METHODS Data from the BleeMACS registry were used. The endpoint was 1-year all-cause mortality. The prognostic value of ACEI/ARB was tested after weighting by survival-time inverse probability and after adjustment by Cox regression, propensity score, and instrumental variable analysis. RESULTS Among 15 401 ACS patients who underwent PCI, ACEI/ARB were prescribed in 75.2%. There were 569 deaths (3.7%) during the first year after hospital discharge. After multivariable adjustment, ACEI/ARB were associated with lower 1-year mortality, ≤ 40% (HR, 0.62; 95%CI, 0.43-0.90; P=.012). The relative risk reduction of ACEI/ARB in mortality was 46.1% in patients with LVEF ≤ 40%, and 15.7% in patients with LVEF> 40% (P value for treatment-by-LVEF interaction=.008). For patients with LVEF> 40%, ACEI/ARB was associated with lower mortality only in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (HR, 0.44; 95%CI, 0.21-0.93; P=.031). CONCLUSION The benefit of ACEI/ARB in decreasing mortality after an ACS in patients undergoing PCI is concentrated in patients with LVEF ≤ 40%, and in those with LVEF> 40% and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. In non-ST-segment elevation-ACS patients with LVEF> 40%, further studies are needed to assess the prognostic impact of ACEI/ARB.

Abstract
Introduction: The safety and efficacy of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with diabetes mellitus presenting with acute coronary syndrome and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention remain to be assessed. Methods: All diabetes patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome and enrolled in the REgistry of New Antiplatelets in patients with Myocardial Infarction (RENAMI) were compared before and after propensity score matching. Net adverse cardiovascular events (composite of death, stroke, myocardial infarction and BARC 3–5 bleedings) and major adverse cardiovascular events (composite of death, stroke and myocardial infarction) were the co-primary endpoints. Single components of primary endpoints were secondary endpoints. Results: Among 4424 patients enrolled in RENAMI, 462 and 862 diabetes patients treated with prasugrel and ticagrelor, respectively, were considered. After propensity score matching, 386 patients from each group were selected. At 19±5 months, major adverse cardiovascular events and net adverse cardiovascular events were similar in the prasugrel and ticagrelor groups (5.4% vs. 3.4%, P=0.16 and 6.7% vs. 4.1%, P=0.11, respectively). Ticagrelor was associated with a lower risk of death and BARC 2–5 bleeding when compared to prasugrel (2.8% vs. 0.8%, P=0.031 and 6.0% vs. 2.6%, P=0.02, respectively) and a clear but not significant trend for a reduction of BARC 3–5 bleeding (2.3% vs. 0.8%, P=0.08). There were no significant differences in myocardial infarction recurrence and stent thrombosis. Conclusion: Diabetes patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome seem to benefit equally in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events from ticagrelor or prasugrel use. Ticagrelor was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause death and bleedings, without differences in recurrent ischaemic events, which should be confirmed in dedicated randomised controlled trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to evaluate prognostic value of beta-blocker (BB) administration in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients in the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) era. METHODS AND RESULTS The BleeMACS project is a multicenter, observational, retrospective registry enrolling patients with ACS worldwide in 15 hospitals. Patients discharged with BB therapy were compared to those discharged without a BB before and after propensity score with matching. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 1 year. Secondary endpoints included in-hospital reinfarction, in-hospital heart failure, 1-year myocardial infarction, 1-year bleeding and 1-year composite of death and recurrent myocardial infarction. After matching, 2935 patients for each group were enrolled. The primary endpoint of 1-year death was significantly lower in the group on BB therapy (4.5 vs 7%, p < 0.05), while only a trend was noted for recurrent acute myocardial infarction (4.5 vs 4.9%, p = 0.54). These results were consistent for patients older than 80 years of age, for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, and for those discharged with complete versus incomplete revascularization, but not for non-STEMI/unstable angina patients. CONCLUSIONS BB therapy was related to 1-year lower risk of all-cause mortality, independently from completeness of revascularization, admission diagnosis, age and ejection fraction. Randomized controlled trials for patients treated with PCI for ACS should be performed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The PARIS score allows combined stratification of ischemic and hemorrhagic risk in patients with ischemic heart disease treated with coronary stenting and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Its usefulness in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel is unknown. We investigated this issue in an international registry. METHODS Retrospective multicenter study with voluntary participation of 11 centers in 6 European countries. We studied 4310 patients with ACS discharged with DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel. Ischemic events were defined as stent thrombosis or spontaneous myocardial infarction, and hemorrhagic events as BARC (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) type 3 or 5 bleeding. Discrimination and calibration were calculated for both PARIS scores (PARISischemic and PARIShemorrhagic). The ischemic-hemorrhagic net benefit was obtained by the difference between the predicted probabilities of ischemic and bleeding events. RESULTS During a period of 17.2 ± 8.3 months, there were 80 ischemic events (1.9% per year) and 66 bleeding events (1.6% per year). PARISischemic and PARIShemorrhagic scores were associated with a risk of ischemic events (sHR, 1.27; 95%CI, 1.16-1.39) and bleeding events (sHR, 1.14; 95%CI, 1.01-1.30), respectively. The discrimination for ischemic events was modest (C index = 0.64) and was suboptimal for hemorrhagic events (C index = 0.56), whereas calibration was acceptable for both. The ischemic-hemorrhagic net benefit was negative (more hemorrhagic events) in patients at high hemorrhagic risk, and was positive (more ischemic events) in patients at high ischemic risk. CONCLUSIONS In patients with ACS treated with DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel, the PARIS model helps to properly evaluate the ischemic-hemorrhagic risk.

Abstract
Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 receptor antagonist with proven clinical benefit in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Apart from its principal antiplatelet action, pleiotropic effects have been implicated in the clinical profile of ticagrelor, including a potentially beneficial impact on endothelial function. In light of the common presence and prognostic value of endothelial dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease, several clinical studies have investigated the postulated effect of ticagrelor on endothelial function, yielding conflicting results. Limitations of the relevant studies as well as substantial differences in patient population, study design, and methods may account for these controversial findings. Most of these studies, however, support a beneficial impact of ticagrelor on endothelial function, which seems to be significant in the higher risk patients. In order to elucidate this effect, further research efforts should aim to clarify how quickly does endothelial function respond to ticagrelor, how sustained this response is during the dosing intervals and in the long term, which mechanisms are implicated, and whether this pleiotropic action is clinically significant. Future studies should include larger and diverse populations of patients, assess endothelial function at several time points after treatment initiation, and use multiple methods of endothelial function measurement, while implementing strict methodology. Nevertheless, the extent of the clinical benefit of ticagrelor attributable to actions beyond its potent and consistent antiplatelet effect remains uncertain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES There is little evidence on rates of stent thrombosis (ST) in patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ticagrelor or prasugrel. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and predictors of ST after an acute coronary syndrome among patients receiving DAPT with ticagrelor vs prasugrel. METHODS We used data from the RENAMI registry (REgistry of New Antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute Myocardial Infarction), analyzing a total of 4123 acute coronary syndrome patients discharged with DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel in 11 centers in 6 European countries. The endpoint was definite ST within the first year. A competitive risk analysis was carried out using a Fine and Gray regression model, with death being the competitive event. RESULTS A total of 2604 patients received DAPT with ticagrelor and 1519 with prasugrel; ST occurred in 41 patients (1.10%), with a similar cumulative incidence between ticagrelor (1.21%) and prasugrel (0.90%). The independent predictors of ST were age (sHR, 1.03; 95%CI, 1.01-1.06), ST segment elevation (sHR, 2.24; 95%CI, 1.22-4.14), previous myocardial infarction (sHR, 2.56; 95%CI, 1.19-5.49), and serum creatinine (sHR, 1.29; 95%CI, 1.08-1.54). CONCLUSIONS Stent thrombosis is infrequent in patients receiving DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel. The variables associated with an increased risk of ST were advanced age, ST segment elevation, previous myocardial infarction, and serum creatinine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 5 to 7% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of coronary artery disease require chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC) on top of aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, mainly due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The advent of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) increased treatment options, while there is cumulative evidence that dual combination of a NOAC and a P2Y12 receptor antagonist attenuates risk of bleeding, compared to traditional triple therapy, consisting of a vitamin K antagonist (VKA), aspirin, and a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, without significantly compromising efficacy. STUDY DESIGN Greek AntiPlatElet Atrial Fibrillation (GRAPE-AF, NCT 03362788) is an observational, nationwide study of non-valvular AF patients undergoing PCI, planning to enroll over 1-year period > 500 participants in 25 tertiary and non-tertiary PCI centers in Greece. Key data to be collected pre-discharge include demographics, detailed past medical history, and antithrombotic and concomitant treatment. Patients will be followed up at 1, 6, and 12 months post hospital discharge. Αt each follow-up visit, data on antithrombotic treatment, ischemic, bleeding, and adverse events will be collected. Study's primary endpoint is clinically significant bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium, BARC ≥ 2) at 12 months, between VKAs and NOACs-treated patients, analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models, by an intention-to-treat principle. An independent endpoint committee will adjudicate all clinical events. CONCLUSIONS This study aims at providing "real-world" information on current antithrombotic treatment patterns and clinical outcome of patients with non-valvular AF undergoing PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A poor ability of recommended risk scores for predicting in-hospital bleeding has been reported in elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). No study assessed the prediction of post-discharge bleeding in the elderly. The new BleeMACS score (Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome), was designed to predict post-discharge bleeding in ACS patients. We aimed to assess the predictive ability of the BleeMACS score in elderly patients. METHODS We assessed the incidence and characteristics of severe bleeding after discharge in ACS patients aged ≥ 75 years. Bleeding was defined as any intracranial bleeding or bleeding leading to hospitalization and/or red blood transfusion, occurring within the first year after discharge. We assessed the predictive ability of the BleeMACS score according to age by Fine-Gray proportional hazards regression analysis, calculating receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curves (AUC). RESULTS The BleeMACS registry included 15,401 patients of whom 3,376/15,401 (21.9%) were aged ≥ 75 years. Elderly patients were more commonly treated with clopidogrel and less often treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel. Of 3,376 elderly patients, 190 (5.6%) experienced post-discharge bleeding. The incidence of bleeding was moderately higher in elderly patients (hazard ratio [HR], 2.31, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.92-2.77). The predictive ability of the BleeMACS score was moderately lower in elderly patients (AUC, 0.652 vs. 0.691, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Elderly patients with ACS had a significantly higher incidence of post-discharge bleeding. Despite a lower predictive ability in older patients, the BleeMACS score exhibited an acceptable performance in these patients.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the Tiger-II with Judkins 3.5L/4R catheters in coronary angiography (CAG) via the transradial approach (TRA). METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients undergoing non-urgent CAG via the right TRA were randomised to either the Tiger-II (Terumo) or Judkins (3.5L/4R; Medtronic) 5 Fr catheters; 320 patients in each group were randomised. Catheter or access site change was required in 57 (17.8%) vs. 68 (21.3%) patients allocated to the Tiger-II and Judkins group, respectively (p=0.3). The study's primary endpoint of contrast volume (ml) used until completion of CAG was lower for Tiger-II vs. Judkins group: 66.8 (54.0-82.0) vs. 73.4 (60.0-94.1), p<0.001. Angiography, fluoroscopy time (min) and severe spasm rate were also significantly lower for Tiger-II vs. Judkins group: 5.52 (4.17-7.32) vs. 6.85 (5.15-9.63), p<0.00, 2.01 (1.32-3.13) vs. 2.24 (1.50-3.50), p=0.01 and 6 (2.8%) vs. 39 (12.2%), p<0.001, respectively. The Tiger-II catheter obtained better opacification grade for the right coronary artery (RCA): 4.0 (4.0-4.0) vs. 4.0 (3.0-4.0), p=0.02, but slightly compromised opacification of the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCX) arteries compared with the Judkins group: 3.75 (3.0-4.0) vs. 4.0 (3.5-4.0), p<0.001, and 3.78 (3.6-4.0) vs. 4.0 (3.6-4.0), p<0.001, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The Tiger-II was found superior to the Judkins 3.5L/4R regarding contrast volume use, procedural and fluoroscopy time, spasm rate and RCA imaging, and inferior regarding LAD and LCX imaging.

Abstract
Radial artery (RA) occlusion (RAO) remains the Achilles heel of transradial coronary procedures. Although of silent nature, RAO is relatively frequent, results in graft shortage for future coronary artery bypass surgery, and may occur even after short-lasting, 5F coronary angiography (CAG). The most frequent predictors of RAO are RA size, body size, female gender, and periprocedural anticoagulation intensity. Methods to detect RAO are variable, of which the Barbeau test and ultrasonography have similar diagnostic accuracy. Data indicate that late RAO recanalization may occur. Meticulous handling of RA and the use of appropriate hemostatic devices and techniques along with sufficient heparin dose appear important measures to reduce RAO rates. Recent contradictory studies indicate that the decreasing incidence of RAO overtime is not as uniform as previously thought. In 2 meta-analyses, the benefit of higher over lower anticoagulation intensity became evident. As “it may all be appropriate anticoagulation” for a simplified approach against RAO, the results of an ongoing trial comparing 100 with 50 IU/kg body weight in transradial CAG are eagerly awaited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial function may be improved by ticagrelor through adenosine-mediated mechanisms. We aimed to assess the effect of ticagrelor versus prasugrel on endothelial function in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS In a prospective, randomized, crossover study, 22 stable CAD patients under prasugrel 10 mg once daily maintenance dose (MD) for at least 3 months were randomized to either ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily or prasugrel 10 mg once daily for 15 days with a direct treatment-crossover for another 15 days. Endothelial function was assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry (EndoPAT 2000 system, Itamar Medical, Caesarea, Israel) at Day 0 (randomization), Day 15, and Day 30. Reactive Hyperemia Index (RHI) was calculated by using an automated software, and endothelial dysfunction (ED) was defined as RHI <1.67. RHI at the end of the two treatment periods did not differ between ticagrelor and prasugrel MD treatments. Least squares estimates (95% confidence interval) were 1.78 (1.58-1.99) versus 1.88 (1.67-2.08), with a fixed estimate of -0.099 (95% CI: -0.45 to 0.25) for the difference between them (p = 0.5). ED rate did not differ significantly between ticagrelor and prasugrel (45.5% vs 45.5%, p = 0.6). CONCLUSIONS In CAD patients, we have failed to find evidence of alteration of endothelial function following ticagrelor compared to prasugrel MD treatment, as assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry.

Abstract
SummaryPlatelet reactivity (PR) and bleeding events following therapy with ticagrelor vs prasugrel have not been adequately studied. We aimed to compare PR and bleeding events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while on ticagrelor vs prasugrel for one month. Consecutive patients who were discharged either on ticagrelor 90 mg bid maintenance dose (MD) or prasugrel 10 mg MD were invited for PR assessment (VerifyNow, in PRU) at one month. High PR (HPR) was defined as >208 PRU. Bleeding events [Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) classification] were monitored. Out of 937 screened patients, 512 were analysed, 278 under ticagrelor MD and 234 under prasugrel MD. PR at 30 days (C-statistic of the propensity score model 0.63, 0.58–0.67 95% CI, p<0.001) was lower when on ticagrelor compared with prasugrel (33.3, 95% CI 29.3–37.3 vs 84.6, 95% CI 73.6–95.6, p<0.001). In the analysed population more BARC type 1 bleeding events were observed with ticagrelor compared to prasugrel (36.7% vs 28.2%, p=0.047). In 221 propensity score matched pairs, BARC type 1 bleeding rate was marginally higher in ticagrelor vs prasugrel treated patients (35.7% vs 27.1%, p=0.05). BARC type ≥2 events did not differ between groups 5 (2.3%) vs 5 (2.3%). HPR rate was higher for prasugrel-treated patients (5.4% vs 0%, p<0.001). In conclusion, in patients with ACS undergoing PCI, ticagrelor MD produces a significantly higher platelet inhibition compared to prasugrel MD. This pharmacodynamic difference might be associated with more nuisance bleeding events with ticagrelor use.Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01774955.

Abstract
P2Y12 receptor antagonists, concurrently administered with aspirin in what has come to be commonly called dual antiplatelet therapy, are a mainstay of treatment for patients with acute coronary syndromes. Morphine, on the contrary, is a commonly used drug in the acute phase of acute coronary syndromes to relieve pain-with the added potential benefit of attenuating acutely raised sympathetic tone. In current guidelines, though, morphine is recommended with decreasing strength of recommendation. One reason is that it raises concern regarding the potentially significant interaction with antiplatelet agents, leading to impaired inhibition of platelet activation. In any case, it is still considered a mandatory part of the inventory of available medications in prehospital acute myocardial infarction management. The goal of the present review is to present published evidence on morphine and its potential interactions with P2Y12 receptor antagonists, as well as on the central issue of whether such interactions may underlie clinically significant effects on patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background Incidence of radial artery occclusions (RAO) and ulnar artery occclusions (UAO) in coronary procedures, factors predisposing to forearm arteries occlusion, and the benefit of anticoaggulation vary significantly in existing literature. We sought to determine the incidence of RAO/UAO and the impact of anticoagulation intensity. Methods and Results Meta‐analysis of 112 studies assessing RAO and/or UAO (N=46 631) were included. Overall, there was no difference between crude RAO and UAO rates (5.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.4–6.0 versus 4.0%; 95% CI, 2.8–5.8; P=0.171). The early occlusion rate (in‐hospital or within 7 days after procedure) was higher than the late occlusion rate. The detection rate of occlusion was higher with vascular ultrasonography compared with clinical evaluation only. Low‐dose heparin was associated with a significantly higher RAO rate compared with high‐dose heparin (7.2%; 95% CI, 5.5–9.4 versus 4.3%; 95% CI, 3.5–5.3; Q=8.81; P=0.003). Early occlusions in low‐dose heparin cohorts mounted at 8.0% (95% CI, 6.1–10.6). The RAO rate was higher after diagnostic angiographies compared with coronary interventions, presumably attributed to the higher intensity of anticoagulation in the latter group. Hemostatic techniques (patent versus nonpatent hemostasis), geography (US versus non‐US cohorts) and sheath size did not impact on vessel patency. Conclusions RAO and UAO occur with similar frequency and in the order of 7% to 8% when evaluated early by vascular ultrasonography following coronary procedures. More‐intensive anticoagulation is protective. Late recanalization occurs in a substantial minority of patients.

Abstract
Objectives: To assess the clinical impact of impaired renal function (IRF), in “real-world” acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, receiving clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor. Methods: This was a prospective, observational, multicenter, cohort study of ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with IRF (creatinine clearance <60 mL/min by Cockroft-Gault equation), who were recruited into the Greek Antiplatelet Registry (GRAPE). Patients were followed-up until 1 year for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; a composite of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, urgent revascularization, and stroke) and BARC (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) bleeding. Results: Out of 2,047 registered patients, there were 344 (16.8%) with IRF. At the 1-year follow-up, MACE occurred in 18.6 and 6.2% of those patients with and without IRF, respectively: adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 2.13 (95% confidence interval, CI 1.16-3.91), p = 0.02. IRF patients were also at higher risk of death and BARC type ≥2 and ≥3 bleeding: adjusted HR = 3.55 (95% CI 1.73-7.27), p = 0.001; HR = 2.75 (95% CI 1.13-6.68), p = 0.03; and HR = 6.02 (95% CI 2.30-15.77), p < 0.001, respectively. Combined MACE and BARC type ≥2 bleeding occurred in 34.0 and 14.0% of those with and without IRF, respectively: adjusted HR = 2.65 (95% CI 1.36-5.16), p = 0.004. At discharge, clopidogrel was more frequently prescribed in IRF patients (61.0 vs. 33.1%, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Real-world ACS patients with IRF subjected to PCI demonstrate higher thrombotic and bleeding risks than patients with normal renal function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and outcome of patients with cancer that experience acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have to be determined. METHODS AND RESULTS The BleeMACS project is a multicentre observational registry enrolling patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention worldwide in 15 hospitals. The primary endpoint was a composite event of death and re-infarction after one year of follow-up. Bleedings were the secondary endpoint. 15,401 patients were enrolled, 926 (6.4%) in the cancer group and 14,475 (93.6%) in the group of patients without cancer. Patients with cancer were older (70.8±10.3 vs. 62.8±12.1 years, P<0.001) with more severe comorbidities and presented more frequently with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction compared with patients without cancer. After one year, patients with cancer more often experienced the composite endpoint (15.2% vs. 5.3%, P<0.001) and bleedings (6.5% vs. 3%, P<0.001). At multiple regression analysis the presence of cancer was the strongest independent predictor for the primary endpoint (hazard ratio (HR) 2.1, 1.8-2.5, P<0.001) and bleedings (HR 1.5, 1.1-2.1, P=0.015). Despite patients with cancer generally being undertreated, beta-blockers (relative risk (RR) 0.6, 0.4-0.9, P=0.05), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (RR 0.5, 0.3-0.8, P=0.02), statins (RR 0.3, 0.2-0.5, P<0.001) and dual antiplatelet therapy (RR 0.5, 0.3-0.9, P=0.05) were shown to be protective factors, while proton pump inhibitors (RR 1, 0.6-1.5, P=0.9) were neutral. CONCLUSION Cancer has a non-negligible prevalence in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, with a major risk of cardiovascular events and bleedings. Moreover, these patients are often undertreated from clinical despite medical therapy seems to be protective. Registration:The BleeMACS project (NCT02466854).

Abstract
In 'real life' acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and receiving contemporary antiplatelet treatment, data on dyspnea occurrence and impact on persistence with treatment are scarce. In a prospective, multicenter, cohort study, ACS patients undergoing PCI were recruited into the GReekAntiPlatElet (GRAPE) registry. During 1-year follow up, overall, 249/1989 (12.5%) patients reported dyspnea, more frequently at 1-month and decreasing thereafter. Multivariate analysis showed that ticagrelor administration (n = 738) at discharge was associated with the occurrence of dyspnea: Odds ratio 2.46 (95% confidence interval, CI, 1.87-3.25), p < 0.001. Older age, lower hematocrit, and prior bleeding event were also associated with dyspnea reports. Persistence, switching, and cessation rates were 68.3%, 20.9%, and 10.8% vs 76.7%, 12.5%, and 10.9% among patients reporting dyspnea compared with those who did not, p for trend = 0.002. In conclusion, in ACS patients undergoing PCI and treated with a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, dyspnea occurs commonly, particularly when ticagrelor is administered. Non-persistence with antiplatelet agents at discharge is more frequently observed among dyspnea-reporters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to define the most appropriate treatment for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with malignancy. METHODS AND RESULTS The BleeMACS project is a worldwide multicenter observational prospective registry in 16 hospitals enrolling patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Primary endpoints were death, re-infarction, and major adverse cardiac events (MACE; composite of death and re-infarction) after 1 year of follow-up. The secondary endpoint was bleeding events during follow-up. We performed sub-study analyses according to whether β-blockers (BBs), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), statins, or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were prescribed at discharge. We also calculated the propensity score for optimal medical therapy (OMT; combination of BB, ACEI/ARB, and statins). The study included 926 patients. According to the multivariate analysis, ACEIs/ARBs (hazard ratio [HR] 0.58, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.36-1.94; p = 0.03) and statins (HR 0.37, 95 % CI 0.23-0.61; p < 0.01) reduced the risk of MACE, while the effects of BBs (HR 0.85, 95 % CI 0.55-1.32; p = 0.48) and PPIs (HR 1.33, 95 % CI 0.83-2.12; p = 0.23) were not significant. OMT was prescribed at discharge in 300 (32.4 %) patients; after propensity score analysis, OMT showed a significant reduction in death (3 % vs. 12.5 %, HR 0.21, 95 % CI 0.1-0.4; log-rank p < 0.001) and MACE (6.7 vs. 15.2 %, log-rank p = 0.01). CONCLUSION In patients with ACS and malignancy, OMT reduces the risk of adverse events at 1 year; in particular, ACEIs/ARBs and statins were the most protective drugs.

Abstract
Background Variations in distal coronary pressure (Pd)/aortic pressure (Pa) ratio during steady‐state hyperemia with standard (140 μg/kg per minute) adenosine dose may hamper accurate fractional flow reserve assessment. This study investigated to what extent an increased adenosine dose can overcome Pd/Pa variation. Methods and Results In a prospective, single‐arm study, out of 95 prospectively screened patients, 38 (40.0%) exhibited significant (≥0.05 difference of max Pd/Pa minus min Pd/Pa) variations in Pd/Pa from 15 s post Pd/Pa dip and until the end of a 3‐minute adenosine (140 μg/kg per minute) infusion. Thirty patients agreed to participate in a post 5‐minute repeat fractional flow reserve assessment using 200 μg/kg per minute 3‐minute adenosine infusion. The study's co‐primary end point of Pd/Pa coefficient of dispersion was lower for the high versus standard adenosine dose: 1.31 (1.13–2.72) versus 2.76 (2.38–5.60), P=0.002. The study's co‐primary end point of ΔPd/Pa was also lower for the high versus standard adenosine dose: 0.065 (0.038–0.10) versus 0.08 (0.06–0.11), P=0.002. This difference was mainly driven by the lowering effect of the high adenosine dose on the maximum Pd/Pa compared to the standard dose: 0.84 (0.81–0.93) versus 0.90 (0.83–0.95), P=0.007, while minimum Pd/Pa remained unaffected. High adenosine dose was adequately tolerated by all patients, without requiring infusion discontinuation in any case. Conclusions Pd/Pa variability is frequently observed during standard adenosine infusion and is significantly decreased following a high (200 μg/kg per minute) adenosine dose. This is achieved without a significant difference in the minimum Pd/Pa. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02350439.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction represent a high-risk population and an effective antiplatelet treatment adjunctive to primary percutaneous coronary intervention is of paramount importance. METHODS This topic will review the current evidence on clinical efficacy and safety of oral antiplatelet therapy in patients with an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Unsettled issues and future perspectives for their use in these patients are also discussed. RESULTS Added to aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor represent viable options regarding oral P2Y12 inhibition, with prasugrel and ticagrelor being preferred over clopidogrel, according to results of large randomized clinical trials. Early clinical efficacy of oral antiplatelet agents in STEMI patients has been questioned, mainly because of their delayed onset of action in the clinical setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and the recently described adverse effect of morphine on their pharmacodynamic/pharmacokinetic profile. Whether these agents should be administered beyond 1 year after the index event is also under discussion, as there is clinical evidence that prolonged administration may be associated with clinical benefit. CONCLUSION Use of oral P2Y12 inhibitors in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction still faces questions and future research is needed to establish which, when and how should be administered in this clinical setting.
