Abstract
Background—
Outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions in diabetic patients are shadowed by the increased rate of recurrence compared with nondiabetic patients.
Methods and Results—
We conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to demonstrate the efficacy of sirolimus-eluting stents compared with standard stents to prevent restenosis in diabetic patients with de novo lesions in native coronary arteries. The primary end point of the trial was in-segment late lumen loss as assessed by quantitative coronary angiography at 9-month follow-up. The trial was stratified by diabetes treatment status. One hundred sixty patients were randomized to sirolimus-eluting stents (80 patients; 111 lesions) or standard stent implantation (80 patients; 110 lesions). On average, reference diameter was 2.34±0.6 mm, lesion length was 15.0±8 mm, and 13.1% of lesions were chronic total occlusions. In-segment late lumen loss was reduced from 0.47±0.5 mm for standard stents to 0.06±0.4 mm for sirolimus stents (
P
<0.001). Target-lesion revascularization and major adverse cardiac event rates were significantly lower in the sirolimus group (31.3% versus 7.3% and 36.3% versus 11.3%, respectively; both
P
<0.001). Non–insulin- and insulin-requiring patients demonstrated similar reductions in angiographic and clinical parameters of restenosis after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation. During the 9-month follow-up, stent thrombosis occurred in 2 patients after standard stent implantation. Conversely, this phenomenon was not seen in the sirolimus stent group.
Conclusions—
This randomized trial demonstrated that sirolimus stent implantation is safe and efficacious in reducing both angiographic and clinical parameters of restenosis compared with standard stents in diabetic patients with de novo coronary stenoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of β-blockers on infarct size when used in conjunction with primary percutaneous coronary intervention is unknown. We hypothesize that metoprolol reduces infarct size when administered early (intravenously before reperfusion). METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with Killip class II or less anterior ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention within 6 hours of symptoms onset were randomized to receive intravenous metoprolol (n=131) or not (control, n=139) before reperfusion. All patients without contraindications received oral metoprolol within 24 hours. The predefined primary end point was infarct size on magnetic resonance imaging performed 5 to 7 days after STEMI. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 220 patients (81%). Mean ± SD infarct size by magnetic resonance imaging was smaller after intravenous metoprolol compared with control (25.6 ± 15.3 versus 32.0 ± 22.2 g; adjusted difference, -6.52; 95% confidence interval, -11.39 to -1.78; P=0.012). In patients with pre-percutaneous coronary intervention Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 0 to 1 flow, the adjusted treatment difference in infarct size was -8.13 (95% confidence interval, -13.10 to -3.16; P=0.0024). Infarct size estimated by peak and area under the curve creatine kinase release was measured in all study populations and was significantly reduced by intravenous metoprolol. Left ventricular ejection fraction was higher in the intravenous metoprolol group (adjusted difference, 2.67%; 95% confidence interval, 0.09-5.21; P=0.045). The composite of death, malignant ventricular arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, atrioventricular block, and reinfarction at 24 hours in the intravenous metoprolol and control groups was 7.1% and 12.3%, respectively (P=0.21). CONCLUSIONS In patients with anterior Killip class II or less ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention, early intravenous metoprolol before reperfusion reduced infarct size and increased left ventricular ejection fraction with no excess of adverse events during the first 24 hours after STEMI.

Abstract
AIMS To compare primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and fibrinolysis in very old patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in whom head-to-head comparisons between both strategies are scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients ≥75 years old with STEMI <6 h were randomized to pPCI or fibrinolysis. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality, re-infarction, or disabling stroke at 30 days. The trial was prematurely stopped due to slow recruitment after enrolling 266 patients (134 allocated to pPCI and 132 to fibrinolysis). Both groups were well balanced in baseline characteristics. Mean age was 81 years. The primary endpoint was reached in 25 patients in the pPCI group (18.9%) and 34 (25.4%) in the fibrinolysis arm [odds ratio (OR), 0.69; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.38-1.23; P = 0.21]. Similarly, non-significant reductions were found in death (13.6 vs. 17.2%, P = 0.43), re-infarction (5.3 vs. 8.2%, P = 0.35), or disabling stroke (0.8 vs. 3.0%, P = 0.18). Recurrent ischaemia was less common in pPCI-treated patients (0.8 vs. 9.7%, P< 0.001). No differences were found in major bleeds. A pooled analysis with the two previous reperfusion trials performed in older patients showed an advantage of pPCI over fibrinolysis in reducing death, re-infarction, or stroke at 30 days (OR, 0.64; 95% CI 0.45-0.91). CONCLUSION Primary PCI seems to be the best reperfusion therapy for STEMI even for the oldest patients. Early contemporary fibrinolytic therapy may be a safe alternative to pPCI in the elderly when this is not available.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A predefined intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) substudy was performed to evaluate the vascular effects of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) versus bare-metal stent (BMS). BACKGROUND The Diabetes and Sirolimus-Eluting Stent (DIABETES) trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial aimed at demonstrating the efficacy of the SES compared with BMS in diabetic patients. METHODS Serial intravascular ultrasound analyses were performed in 140 lesions (SES = 75; BMS = 65) immediately after stent implantation and at nine-month follow-up. Vessel, luminal, and stent mean areas and volumes were evaluated at both edges and within the stented segment. Qualitative assessment of residual dissections and stent apposition were also performed. RESULTS Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar between groups. At 9 months, in-stent neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) mean area and volume were significantly reduced in the SES group (median NIH area 0.01 mm2 [0.0 to 0.1] vs. 2.0 mm2 [1.0 to 2.9] and median NIH volume 0.11 mm3 [0 to 2.1] vs. 35.3 mm3 [16.6 to 62.6]; both p < 0.0001). In the SES group, stent edges evidenced significant increase in lumen dimensions mainly due to significant increase in vessel volume, whereas those of the BMS group presented vessel shrinkage leading to significant lumen reduction. Late acquired incomplete stent apposition was observed in 11 lesions (14.7%) in the SES group and 0 in the BMS group (p = 0.001). At one year, no stent thromboses occurred in malapposed stents. CONCLUSIONS The SES implantation effectively inhibits NIH in diabetic patients. The antirestenotic effect of SES is also appreciated at the stent edges. Late acquired stent malapposition is a frequent phenomenon in diabetic patients treated with SES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of poly-l-lactide acid-based bioresorbable scaffolds is limited in daily clinical practice because of safety concerns and lack of physiological benefit. Magnesium-based bioresorbable scaffold (MgBRS) presents a short resorption period (<1 year) and have the potential of being thromboresistant and exhibiting early restoration of vasomotor function. To date, however, no randomized clinical trial has investigated the performance of MgBRS. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the in-stent/scaffold vasomotion between MgBRS and permanent metallic sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) at 12-month follow-up in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients. METHODS This investigator-driven, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, controlled trial randomized ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients 1:1 to SES or MgBRS at 11 academic centers. The primary end point was the rate of increase (≥3%) after nitroglycerin in mean lumen diameter of the in-stent/scaffold segment at 12 months with superiority of MgBRS over SES in the as-treated population. The main secondary end points included angiographic parameters of restenosis, device-oriented composite end point, their individual components, and device thrombosis rate. Besides, endothelial-dependent vasomotor response to acetylcholine (ie, endothelial function) was also assessed in a subgroup of patients (n=69). RESULTS Between June 2017 and June 2018, 150 ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients were randomized (MgBRS, n=74; SES, n=76). At 1 year, the primary end point was significantly higher in the MgBRS arm (56.5% versus 33.8%; P=0.010). Conversely, late lumen loss was significantly lower in the SES group (in-segment: 0.39±0.49mm versus 0.02±0.27mm, P<0.001; in-device: 0.61±0.55mm versus 0.06±0.21mm; P<0.001). The device-oriented composite end point was higher in the MgBRS arm driven by an increase in ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization rate (12[16.2%] versus 4[5.2%], P=0.030). Definite thrombosis rate was similar between groups (1[1.4%] in the MgBRS arm versus 2[2.6%] in the SES group; P=1.0). Endothelial function assessment at device segment evidenced a more pronounced vasoconstrictive response to maximal dose of acetylcholine in the MgBRS arm (-8.3±3.5% versus -2.4±1.3% in the SES group, P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS When compared to SES, MgBRS demonstrated a higher capacity of vasomotor response to pharmacological agents (either endothelium-independent or endothelium-dependent) at 1 year. However, MgBRS was associated with a lower angiographic efficacy, a higher rate of target lesion revascularization, without thrombotic safety concerns.

Abstract
AIMS Sirolimus stent implantation has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in diabetics; however, the long-term outcomes in this high-risk population remain unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) when compared with the bare metal stent (BMS) in patients included in the DIABETES (DIABETes and sirolimus Eluting Stent) trial. METHODS AND RESULTS The prospective multicentre DIABETES trial randomized 160 diabetic patients with one or more significant coronary stenoses in one, two, or three vessels to either SES or BMS implantation. One-year dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) was routinely prescribed. Clinical follow-up was scheduled at 1, 9, 12, and 13 months and 2 years. Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were comparable between groups. At 2 years, the rate of target lesion revascularization was significantly lower in the SES group compared with the BMS group (7.7 vs. 35.0%, P < 0.001). However, the total revascularization rate at 2 years increased in both groups due to progression of atherosclerosis in coronary segments remote from the target lesion (rate of atherosclerosis progression: 7.7% in SES group vs. 10% in BMS group; P = 0.7). During dual antiplatelet treatment (1 year), there was no stent thrombosis in the SES group, whereas two patients presented it in the BMS group. However, after clopidogrel withdrawal, three patients allocated to the SES group presented stent thromboses vs. none in the BMS group. CONCLUSION SES implantation in diabetic patients remains effective at 2-year follow-up. However, clinical efficacy appeared to be reduced by the occurrence of stent thrombosis between 1 and 2 years.

Abstract
AIMS Paravalvular aortic regurgitation (AR) is common after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aimed to assess the prosthesis/aortic annulus discongruence by three-dimensional (3D) transoesophageal (TOE) planimetry of aortic annulus and its impact on the occurrence of significant AR after TAVI. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 33 patients who underwent TAVI with a balloon expandable device for severe aortic stenosis. To appraise the prosthesis/annulus discongruence, we defined a 'mismatch index' expressed as: annulus area - prosthesis area. The aortic annulus area was planimetered with 3D TOE, and approximated by circular area formula (π r(2)) using annulus diameter obtained by two-dimensional (2D) TOE. After TAVI, 13 patients (39.3%) developed significant AR (≥2/4). The occurrence of significant AR was associated to the 3D planimetered annulus area (P = 0.04), and the 'mismatch index' obtained through 3D planimetered annulus area (P = 0.03), but not to 'mismatch index' derived of 2D annulus diameter. In multivariate analysis, 'mismatch index' for 3D planimetered annulus area was the only independent predictor of significant AR (odds ratio: 10.614; 95% CI: 1.044-17.21; P = 0.04). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the 'mismatch index' by the 3D planimetered annulus area was 0.76 (95% CI: 0.54-0.92), whereas for 'mismatch index' obtained by the 2D circular area was 0.36 (95% CI: 0.17-0.55). Using the 3D planimetered annulus area as the reference parameter to decide the prosthetic size, the choice would have been different in 21 patients (63%). CONCLUSION Three-dimensional TOE planimetry of aortic annulus improves the assessment of prosthesis/annulus discongruence and predicts the appearance of significant AR after TAVI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the natural history of vascular remodeling of atherosclerotic plaques in patients with type 2 diabetes and the predictors of vessel shrinkage. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this serial intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) study, 237 coronary segments from 45 patients enrolled in the DIABETES I, II, and III trials were included. Quantitative volumetric IVUS analyses (motorized pullbacks at 0.5 mm/s) were performed in the same coronary segment after the index procedure and at the 9-month follow-up. Nontreated mild lesions (angiographic stenosis <25%) with > or =0.5 mm plaque thickening and length of > or =5 mm assessed by IVUS were included. Vessel shrinkage was defined as a Deltaexternal elastic membrane area/Deltaplaque area < 0. Statistical adjustment by multiple segments and multiple lesions per patient was performed. RESULTS Vessel shrinkage was identified in 37.1% of segments and was associated with a significant decrease in lumen area at 9 months (vessel shrinkage, 10 +/- 4 mm(2) vs. non-vessel shrinkage, 11 +/- 4 mm(2); P = 0.04). Independent predictors of vessel shrinkage were insulin requirements (odds ratio 4.6 [95% CI 1.40-15.10]; P = 0.01), glycated hemoglobin (1.5 [1.05-2.10]; P = 0.02), apolipoprotein B (0.96 [0.94-0.98]; P < 0.001), hypertension (3.7 [1.40-10.30]; P = 0.009), number of diseased vessels (5.6 [2.50-12.50]; P < 0.001), and prior revascularization (17.5 [6.50-46.90]; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This serial IVUS study suggests that progression of coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes may be mainly attributed to vessel shrinkage. Besides, vessel shrinkage is influenced by insulin requirements and metabolic control and is associated with more advanced coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the recommended therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable candidates for surgery. The aim of this study was to describe early experience and long-term follow-up with the CoreValve self-expanding aortic prosthesis at 42 Ibero-American hospitals. METHODS Multiple centre observational study including 1220 consecutive patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable candidates for surgery and underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the self-expanding Medtronic CoreValve System between December 2007 and May 2012. RESULTS The registry included 1220 consecutive patients with a mean age of 80.8 ± 6.3 years and a mean logistic euroSCORE of 17.8% ± 13%. The procedural success rate was 96.1%. Hospital mortality was 7.3% and combined end-point was 21.3%. Aortic regurgitation after TAVI was present in 24.5% (Sellers grade ≥ 2). The estimated 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 82.1% and 73.4% respectively. The following issues were significant independent risk factors for hospital mortality: acute kidney failure (odds ratio 3.55); stroke (odds ratio 5.72); major bleeding (odds ratio 2.64) and euroSCORE (odds ratio 1.02). Long-term predictors of mortality were diabetes mellitus (hazard ratio 1.59, 95% confidence interval 1.09-2.31), severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (hazard ratio 1.85, 95% confidence interval 1.85-2.88), and functional classes NYHA III-IV (hazard ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.70). CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter aortic valve implantation constitutes a safe and viable therapeutic option for high operative risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Long-term prognosis is conditioned by associate comorbidities.

Oral β-blockade within 24 hours of a ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a class-IA indication, however early intravenous (IV) β-blockers initiation is not encouraged. In recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based experimental studies, the β(1)-blocker metoprolol has been shown to reduce infarct size only when administered before coronary reperfusion. To date, there is not a single trial comparing the pre- vs. post-reperfusion β-blocker initiation in STEMI. OBJECTIVE The METOCARD-CNIC trial is testing whether the early initiation of IV metoprolol before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) could reduce infarct size and improve outcomes when compared to oral post-pPCI metoprolol initiation. DESIGN The METOCARD-CNIC trial is a randomized parallel-group single-blind (to outcome evaluators) clinical effectiveness trial conducted in 5 Counties across Spain that will enroll 220 participants. Eligible are 18- to 80-year-old patients with anterior STEMI revascularized by pPCI ≤6 hours from symptom onset. Exclusion criteria are Killip-class ≥III, atrioventricular block or active treatment with β-blockers/bronchodilators. Primary end point is infarct size evaluated by MRI 5 to 7 days post-STEMI. Prespecified major secondary end points are salvage-index, left ventricular ejection fraction recovery (day 5-7 to 6 months), the composite of (death/malignant ventricular arrhythmias/reinfarction/admission due to heart failure), and myocardial perfusion. CONCLUSIONS The METOCARD-CNIC trial is testing the hypothesis that the early initiation of IV metoprolol pre-reperfusion reduces infarct size in comparison to initiation of oral metoprolol post-reperfusion. Given the implications of infarct size reduction in STEMI, if positive, this trial might evidence that a refined use of an approved inexpensive drug can improve outcomes of patients with STEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Borderline electrocardiograms represent a challenge in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) management and are associated with inappropriate discharges and delays to intervention. OBJECTIVES To assess angiographic characteristics and outcomes of patients presenting with subtle ST-elevation (STE) myocardial infarction. METHODS A total of 504 consecutive patients with suspected STEMI treated by systematic primary percutaneous coronary intervention were prospectively included. Subtle STE was defined as a maximal preinterventional STE of 0.1 to 1 mm. Angiograms were interpreted by investigators unaware of the electrocardiographic data. RESULTS The proportion of patients with subtle STE was 18.3%, 86% of them presented with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade 0/1 and 91% underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Despite having smaller infarcts, subtle STE patients associated more frequent multivessel disease (57% vs 44%, P = .02) and larger delays to reperfusion. During a follow-up of 19.0 ± 4.9 months, the rates of death or reinfarction were similar among groups (10.0% vs 12.6%, P = .467). Subtle STE was not associated with better outcomes neither in univariate nor after adjustment in a multivariate analysis (adjusted hazard ratio 0.79, 95% CI 0.37-1.69, P = .546). CONCLUSIONS Subtle STEMI is frequent in clinical practice and is usually associated with acute total coronary occlusion. Therefore, it should be diagnosed and treated in the same expeditiously manner as marked STEMI.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the relationship between coronary artery remodelling and glycaemic and lipid profiles in diabetic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Intravascular ultrasound analyses of 131 angiographically non-significant coronary stenoses in 80 diabetic patients were performed. The remodelling index (RI) was calculated as the ratio between total vessel area at target site and total vessel area at proximal reference, and was assessed in two ways: as a continuous variable, and as a binary categorical variable: RI<1 namely, negative remodelling (group I), or RI> or =1 (group II). Percentage cross-sectional narrowing was 57+/-13%. On average, RI was 0.93+/-0.13. Coronary shrinkage was found in 94 (71.7%) lesions. Significant inverse correlations were demonstrated between RI and total cholesterol (r=-0.26, P=0.003), apolipoprotein-B (r=-0.23, P=0.01) and LDL-cholesterol (r=-0.3, P=0.001) levels. Multivariable lineal regression analysis identified LDL-cholesterol as the only independent predictor of RI (P=0.001). CONCLUSION Negative remodelling is a frequent finding in diabetics and it is associated with LDL-cholesterol levels. This may contribute to the diffuse coronary artery disease observed in diabetic patients.

Abstract
The presence of bundle branch block (BBB) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction has been associated with a poor outcome. However, the implications of BBB in patients undergoing primary angioplasty in the stent era are poorly established. Furthermore, the prognostic implications of BBB type (right vs left and previous vs transient or persistent) remain unknown. We analyzed the data from 913 consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty. All clinical, electrocardiographic, and angiographic data were prospectively collected. The median follow-up period was 19 months. The primary end point was the combined outcome of death and reinfarction. BBB was documented in 140 patients (15%). Right BBB (RBBB) was present in 119 patients (13%) and was previous in 27 (23%), persistent in 45 (38%), and transient in 47 (39%). Left BBB (LBBB) was present in 21 patients (2%) and was previous in 8 (38%), persistent in 9 (43%), and transient in 4 (19%). Patients with BBB were older, and more frequently had diabetes, anterior infarctions, a greater Killip class, a lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and greater mortality (all p <0.005) than patients without BBB. The short- and long-term primary outcome occurred more frequently in patients with persistent RBBB/LBBB than in those with previous or transient RBBB/LBBB. On multivariate analysis, persistent RBBB/LBBB emerged as an independent predictor of death and reinfarction. In conclusion, in patients undergoing primary angioplasty in the stent era, BBB is associated with poor short- and long-term prognosis. This risk appears to be particularly high among patients with persistent BBB.

Abstract
AIMS The DIABETES (DIABETes and sirolimus-Eluting Stent) trial is a prospective, multicentre, randomised, controlled trial aimed at demonstrating the efficacy of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) as compared to bare metal stent (BMS) implantation in diabetic patients. The aim of the present analysis was to assess the five-year clinical follow-up of the patients included in this trial. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and sixty patients (222 lesions) were included: 80 patients were randomised to SES and 80 patients to BMS. Patients were eligible for the study if they were identified as non-insulin-dependent diabetics (NIDDM) or insulin-dependent diabetics (IDDM), with significant native coronary stenoses in ≥1 vessel. There was a sub-randomisation according to diabetes status. Clinical follow-up was extended up to five years. Five-year clinical follow-up was obtained in 96.2%. Overall, MACE at five years was significantly lower in the SES group as compared with the BMS arm, mainly due to a significant reduction in TLR. There were no significant differences in cardiac death or myocardial infarction (MI). This was also observed in both prespecified subgroups IDDM and NIDDM. In the SES group, the incidence density of definite/probable stent thrombosis was 0.53 per 100 person-years, whereas in the BMS group it was 0.8 per 100 person-years. Independent predictors of MACE were: SES implantation (p<0.001), multivessel stent implantation (p=0.04), and creatinine levels (p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS Five-year follow-up of the DIABETES trial suggests the effect of SES in reducing TLR is similar in both IDDM and NIDDM. No major safety concerns in terms of ST, MI or mortality were observed.

Abstract
AIMS A specialized three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TOE) reconstruction tool has recently been introduced; the system automatically configures a geometric model of the aortic root from the images obtained by 3D-TOE and performs quantitative analysis of these structures. The aim of this study was to compare the measurements of the aortic annulus (AA) obtained by the new model to that obtained by 3D-TOE and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in candidates to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and to assess the reproducibility of this new method. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 31 patients who underwent TAVI. The AA diameters and area were evaluated by the manual 3D-TOE method and by the automatic software. We showed an excellent correlation between the measurements obtained by both methods: intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC): 0.731 (0.508-0.862), r: 0.742 for AA diameter and ICC: 0.723 (0.662-0.923), r: 0.723 for the AA area, with no significant differences regardless of the method used. The interobserver variability was superior for the automatic measurements than for the manual ones. In a subgroup of 10 patients, we also found an excellent correlation between the automatic measurements and those obtained by MDCT, ICC: 0.941 (0.761-0.985), r: 0.901 for AA diameter and ICC: 0.853 (0.409-0.964), r: 0.744 for the AA area. CONCLUSION The new automatic 3D-TOE software allows modelling and quantifying the aortic root from 3D-TOE data with high reproducibility. There is good correlation between the automated measurements and other 3D validated techniques. Our results support its use in clinical practice as an alternative to MDCT previous to TAVI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We studied the efficacy of intracoronary brachytherapy (ICB) after successful coronary stenting in diabetic patients with de novo lesions. BACKGROUND Intracoronary brachytherapy has proven effective in preventing recurrences in patients with in-stent restenosis. However, the role of ICB for the treatment of de novo coronary stenoses remains controversial. METHODS Ninety-two patients were randomized to either ICB or no radiation after stenting. Primary end points were in-stent mean neointimal area (primary end point of efficacy) and minimal luminal area of the entire vessel segment (primary end point of effectiveness), as assessed by intravascular ultrasound at six-month follow-up. Quantitative coronary angiography analysis was performed at the target, injured, irradiated, and entire vessel segments. RESULTS At follow-up, the in-stent mean neointimal area was 52% smaller in the ICB group (p < 0.0001). However, there was no difference in the minimal luminal area of the vessel segment (4.5 +/- 2.4 mm2 vs. 4.4 +/- 2.1 mm2). Restenosis rates increased progressively by the analyzed segment in the ICB group: target (7.1% vs. 20.9%, p = 0.07), injured (9.5% vs. 20.9%, p = NS), irradiated (14.3% vs. 20.9%, p = NS), and vessel segment (23.8% vs. 25.6%, p = NS). At one year, 1 cardiac death, 6 myocardial infarctions (MIs) (3 due to late stent thrombosis), and 10 target vessel revascularizations (TVRs) (6 due to the edge effect) occurred in the ICB group, whereas in the nonradiation group, there were 11 TVRs and no deaths or MIs. CONCLUSIONS Intracoronary brachytherapy significantly inhibited in-stent neointimal hyperplasia after stenting in diabetic patients. However, clinically this was counteracted by the occurrence of the edge effect and late stent thrombosis.

Abstract
Concerns regarding radiation exposure and its effects during pregnancy are often quoted as an important barrier preventing many women from pursuing a career in Interventional Cardiology. Finding the true risk of radiation exposure from performing cardiac catheterisation procedures can be challenging and guidelines for pregnancy exposure have been inadequate. The Women in Innovations group of Cardiologists with endorsement of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions aim to provide guidance in this publication by describing the risk of radiation exposure to pregnant physicians and cardiac catheterisation personnel, to educate on appropriate radiation monitoring and to encourage mechanisms to reduce radiation exposure. Current data do not suggest a significant increased risk to the foetus of pregnant women in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory and thus do not justify precluding pregnant physicians from performing procedures in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory. However, radiation exposure amongst pregnant physicians should be properly monitored and adequate radiation safety measures are still warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Although clinical guidelines recommend invasive management in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), this strategy is underused in frail elderly patients in the real world. Furthermore, these patients are underrepresented in clinical trials and therefore the evidence is scarce. Our hypothesis is that an invasive strategy will improve prognosis in elderly frail patients with NSTEMI. METHODS This will be a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial, in which the conservative and invasive strategies will be compared in patients meeting all of the following inclusion criteria: NSTEMI diagnosis, age ≥ 70 years, and frailty defined by a category ≥ 4 in the Clinical Frailty Scale. Participants will be randomized to an invasive (coronary angiogram and revascularization if anatomically amenable) or conservative (medical treatment and coronary angiogram only if persistent clinical instability) strategy. The primary endpoint will be the number of days alive out of hospital during the first year. The coprimary endpoint will be the time until the first cardiac event (cardiac death, reinfarction or postdischarge revascularization). We estimate a sample size of 178 patients (89 per arm), considering an increase of 20% in the proportion of days alive out of hospital with the invasive management. RESULTS The results of this study will add important knowledge to inform the management of frail elderly patients hospitalized with NSTEMI. CONCLUSIONS We hypothesize that the invasive strategy will improve outcomes in frail elderly patients with NSTEMI. If this is confirmed, frailty status should not dissuade physicians from implementing an invasive management strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The main indication of covered stents (CS) is coronary artery perforation (CAP), but, they have been increasingly used in other scenarios. Data on the long-term follow-up of CS is limited, and no studies have been conducted specifically using new-generation polyurethane-covered cobalt-chromium Papyrus CS. PURPOSE to evaluate the clinical outcomes after hospital discharge of Papyrus CS and to compare their outcome after implantation in CAP or coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). METHODS/MATERIALS We evaluated the baseline clinical characteristics, lesion subsets, procedural features and the outcomes after initial discharge of Papyrus CS implanted in 17 high-PCI-volume centers. RESULTS 127 Papyrus CS were implanted in 108 patients (68 ± 1 years; 82.8% male) admitted for stable coronary disease (32.3%), NSTEMI (42.4%) or STEMI (25.3%). The number of CS per patient was 1.2 ± 0.6 (diameter: 3.5 ± 1.7 mm; length: 18.5 ± 3.7 mm). Angiographic success rate was 96%. CS diameter was larger in CAA (CAP:3.04 ± 0.5 mm vs CAA:4.1 ± 2.7 mm; p = .022). Intracoronary imaging techniques were used more frequently in CAA (p < .0001). After a mean follow-up of 22 ± 16 months, the major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) rate was 7.1% [cardiac death: 2%, Myocardial infarction: 5%, Target Lesion Revascularization: 5% and Stent Thrombosis (ST): 3%]. MACE rate was similar in CAP (7.7%) and CAA (7.1%) (p = .9). However, CAA showed a higher ST rate (CAP: 0% vs CA: 7.1%; p = .04). CONCLUSION After hospital discharge, clinical outcomes after Papyrus CS implantation are acceptable (considering the clinical scenario and compared with other treatment alternatives) with no significant differences in the MACE rate between those implanted in CAA or in CAP. However, CAA group showed a higher ST rate.
