RESUMO

AIM: The executive summary of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association/Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions coronary artery revascularization guideline provides the top 10 items readers should know about the guideline. In the full guideline, the recommendations replace the 2011 coronary artery bypass graft surgery guideline and the 2011 and 2015 percutaneous coronary intervention guidelines. This summary offers a patient-centric approach to guide clinicians in the treatment of patients with significant coronary artery disease undergoing coronary revascularization, as well as the supporting documentation to encourage their use. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted from May 2019 to September 2019, encompassing studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Collaboration, CINHL Complete, and other relevant databases. Additional relevant studies, published through May 2021, were also considered. Structure: Recommendations from the earlier percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft surgery guidelines have been updated with new evidence to guide clinicians in caring for patients undergoing coronary revascularization. This summary includes recommendations, tables, and figures from the full guideline that relate to the top 10 take-home messages. The reader is referred to the full guideline for graphical flow charts, supportive text, and tables with additional details about the rationale for and implementation of each recommendation, and the evidence tables detailing the data considered in the development of this guideline.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the standard of care for most patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), but the impact of medical therapy prescribing patterns on post-TAVR patients has not been thoroughly investigated. METHODS: We analyzed Optum claims data from 9,012 adults who received TAVR for AS (January 2014-December 2018). Pharmacy claims data were used to identify patients who filled ACEI/ARB and/or statin prescriptions during the study's 90-day landmark period post-TAVR. Kaplan-Meier and adjusted Cox Proportional Hazards models were used to evaluate the association of prescribing patterns with mortality during the 3-year follow-up period. Subgroup analyses were performed to examine the impact of 11 potential confounders on the observed associations. RESULTS: A significantly lower adjusted 3-year mortality was observed for patients with post-TAVR prescription for ACEI/ARBs (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.74-0.91, P = .0003) and statins (HR = 0.85, 95% CI 0.77-0.94, P = .0018) compared to patients who did not fill prescriptions for these medications post-TAVR. Subgroup analyses revealed that the survival benefit associated with ACEI/ARB prescription was not affected by any of the potential confounding variables, except preoperative ACEI/ARB prescription was associated with significantly lower risk of mortality vs postoperative prescription only. No other subgroup variables had significant interactions associated with survival benefits, including preoperative use of statins. CONCLUSIONS: In this large-scale, real-world analysis of patients undergoing TAVR, the prescription of ACEI/ARB and statins was associated with a significantly lower risk of mortality at 3-years, especially in those where the medications were initiated preoperatively.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: We sought to document aortic cusps fluoroscopic projections and their distributions using leaflet alignment which is a novel concept to optimize visualization of leaflets and for guiding BASILICA (bioprosthetic or native aortic scallop intentional laceration to prevent coronary artery obstruction) and determine whether these projections were feasible in catheter laboratory. BACKGROUND: Optimal fluoroscopic projections of aortic valve cusps have not been well described. METHODS: A total of 128 pre-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (pre-TAVR) computed tomographies (CT) (72 native valves and 56 bioprosthetic surgical valves) were analyzed. Using CT software (3Mensio, Pie medical imaging, the Netherlands), leaflet alignment was performed and the feasibility of these angles, which were defined as rate of obtainable with efforts (within LAO/RAO of 85° and CRA/CAU of 50°) were evaluated. RESULTS: High feasibility was seen in right coronary cusp (RCC) front view (100%) and left coronary cusp (LCC) side view (99.2%), followed by noncoronary cusp side view (95.3%). In contrast, low feasibility of RCC side view (7.8%) and LCC front view (47.6%) was observed. No statistical differences were seen between the distribution of native valves and bioprosthetic surgical valves. With patient/table tilt of 20°LAO and 10°CRA, the feasibility of RCC side view and LCC front view increased to 43.7 and 85.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Distributions of each cusp's leaflet alignment follows "sigmoid curve" which can provide better understanding of aortic valve cusp orientation in TAVR and BASILICA. RCC side view used in right cusp BASILICA is commonly unachievable in catheter laboratory and may improve with patient/table tilt.

RESUMO

Pluripotent stem cells provide a potential solution to current epidemic rates of heart failure by providing human cardiomyocytes to support heart regeneration. Studies of human embryonic-stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) in small-animal models have shown favourable effects of this treatment. However, it remains unknown whether clinical-scale hESC-CM transplantation is feasible, safe or can provide sufficient myocardial regeneration. Here we show that hESC-CMs can be produced at a clinical scale (more than one billion cells per batch) and cryopreserved with good viability. Using a non-human primate model of myocardial ischaemia followed by reperfusion, we show that cryopreservation and intra-myocardial delivery of one billion hESC-CMs generates extensive remuscularization of the infarcted heart. The hESC-CMs showed progressive but incomplete maturation over a 3-month period. Grafts were perfused by host vasculature, and electromechanical junctions between graft and host myocytes were present within 2 weeks of engraftment. Importantly, grafts showed regular calcium transients that were synchronized to the host electrocardiogram, indicating electromechanical coupling. In contrast to small-animal models, non-fatal ventricular arrhythmias were observed in hESC-CM-engrafted primates. Thus, hESC-CMs can remuscularize substantial amounts of the infarcted monkey heart. Comparable remuscularization of a human heart should be possible, but potential arrhythmic complications need to be overcome.

RESUMO

Thrombotic aortic valve restenosis following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been extensively reported and the rates of TAVR valve thrombosis are not known. We present three cases of valve-in-valve (VIV) restenosis following TAVR with the balloon expandable transcatheter heart valves, presumably due to valve thrombosis that improved with anticoagulation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate overexpanded 29 mm SAPIEN (S3) transcatheter heart valves in patients with aortic annuli area >683 mm2 . BACKGROUND: The largest valve area the 29 mm S3 is specified for is 683 mm2 . Valve overexpansion has been performed in patients with larger aortic annuli, but data are limited. Moreover, feasibility in areas >740 mm2 is unknown. METHODS: All 29 mm S3 transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) at a single center over 23-months were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with annulus areas >683 mm2 were included. Immediate post-TAVR hemodynamics and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) findings on post-TAVR day-1 and day-30 were recorded. RESULTS: Of 81 29 mm S3 TAVR cases, 3 (3.7%) met inclusion criteria (patients 1, 2, and 3 had CT-scan derived areas of 748.1 mm2 , 793 mm2 , and 787 mm2 , respectively). Annular eccentricity index ranged from 0.12 to 0.25. All underwent transfemoral TAVR with 29 mm S3 valves overexpanded using +4 mL of contrast. Post-dilatation with +5 mL was performed in patient 2. The average valve shortening was 10.68 mm. On day 1, patients 1 and 2 had trace and mild paravalvular leak (PVL) (respectively), whereas, patient 3 had mild-moderate PVL. Patient 1 was also noted to have trace central AR on day 1. No other central AR was noted. Immediate post-procedure aortic regurgitation (AR) index in patients 1, 2, and 3 was 43, 34, and 33 respectively. At 30 days, AR was completely resolved in patient 1, whereas AR severity in patients 2 and 3 remained similar. No patients had > moderate AR at any point during follow-up. No valve migration or embolization occurred. Patient 1 required a permanent pacemaker. No other major complications were noted. All patients were clinically stable at 30 days. CONCLUSIONS: TAVR using overexpanded 29 mm S3 in valve areas >740 mm2 (up to 793 mm2 ) seemed to be safe and feasible in our small series. Further study in a larger series is needed to determine clinical outcomes in this patient population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: In this study, we examined the predictive value of the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in patients undergoing balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). BACKGROUND: The LVEDP is a useful indicator of hemodynamic status in patients with severe aortic stenosis. In BAV, decompensated heart failure is associated with worse outcomes. METHODS: We identified all consecutive patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who underwent retrograde BAV at the Massachusetts General Hospital from 2004 to 2008. Patients were stratified and compared according to their baseline LVEDP into ≤15 mm Hg, 16-20 mm Hg, 21-25 mm Hg, and ≥26 mm Hg. Procedural and in-hospital outcomes and adverse events were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the adjusted analysis. RESULTS: A total of 111 patients with a mean age of 83±11 years underwent BAV. Of these, the LVEDP was ≤15 mm Hg in 29 (26%), 16-20 mm Hg in 41 (37%), 21-25 mm Hg in 16 (14%), and ≥26 mm Hg in 25 (23%) patients. Baseline characteristics were similar among the four groups. Noticeably, patients with high LVEDP levels had significantly higher rates of the combined endpoint of in-hospital death, myocardial infarction (MI), cardiopulmonary arrest, and tamponade was P = 0.02. Periprocedural MI was more common among those with higher LVEDP (16% vs. 2.3%; P = 0.04). Multivariate analysis revealed LVEDP (OR 1.08, for each mm Hg increase in pressure, 95 % CI 1.02-1.14), small LV chamber size, and New York Heart Association class as independent predictors of adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: The LVEDP is an important independent predictor of poor in-hospital outcome during BAV. In these patients, the immediate hemodynamic status may be more important than the baseline left ventricular systolic function. Hemodynamic optimization before or during BAV should be considered and may be beneficial.

RESUMO

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be differentiated into structurally and electrically functional myocardial tissue and have the potential to regenerate large regions of infarcted myocardium. One of the key challenges that needs to be addressed towards full-scale clinical application of hESCs is enhancing survival of the transplanted cells within ischaemic or scarred, avascular host tissue. Shortly after transplantation, most hESCs are lost as a result of multiple mechanical, cellular and host factors, and a large proportion of the remaining cells undergo apoptosis or necrosis shortly thereafter, as a result of loss of adhesion-related signals, ischaemia, inflammation or immunological rejection. Blocking the apoptotic signalling pathways of the cells, using pro-survival cocktails, conditioning hESCs prior to transplant, promoting angiogenesis, immunosuppressing the host and using of bioengineered matrices are among the emerging techniques that have been shown to optimize cell survival. This review presents an overview of the current strategies for optimizing cell and host tissue to improve the survival and efficacy of cardiac cells derived from pluripotent stem cells.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Prior studies indicate that a subset of patients diagnosed as having ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) will have an initial non-diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) during evaluation. However, the timing of diagnostic ECG changes in this group is unknown. Our primary aim was to describe the timing of ECG diagnosis of STEMI in patients whose initial ECG was non-diagnostic. Secondarily, we sought to compare the delivery of American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines-based care and in-hospital outcomes in this group compared with patients diagnosed as having STEMI on initial ECG. METHODS: We analyzed data from 41,560 patients diagnosed as having STEMI included in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry ACTION Registry-GWTG from January 2007 to December 2010. We divided this study population into 2 groups: those diagnosed on initial ECG (N = 36,994) and those with an initial non-diagnostic ECG that were diagnosed on a follow-up ECG (N = 4,566). RESULTS: In general, baseline characteristics and clinical presentations were similar between the 2 groups. For patients with an initial non-diagnostic ECG, 72.4% (n = 3,305) had an ECG diagnostic for STEMI within 90 minutes of their initial ECG. There did not appear to be significant differences in the administration of guideline-recommended treatments for STEMI, in-hospital major bleeding (P = .926), or death (P = .475) between these groups. CONCLUSIONS: In a national sample of patients diagnosed as having STEMI, 11.0% had an initial non-diagnostic ECG. Of those patients, 72.4% had a follow-up diagnostic ECG within 90 minutes of their initial ECG. There did not appear to be clinically meaningful differences in guidelines-based treatment or major inhospital outcomes between patients diagnosed as having STEMI on an initial ECG and those diagnosed on a follow-up ECG.

RESUMO

We describe the use of a rapid-exchange style guide catheter extension to facilitate diagnostic coronary angiography in a patient with a long, dilated ascending aorta. The guide catheter extension is an easy to use device that can extend the reach of 110 cm catheters. There are several advantages to this "mother and child" guide catheter extension over the traditional telescoping catheter approach.

RESUMO

The 2021 Coronary Artery Disease revascularization guidelines of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) provide recommendations for managing nonculprit arteries in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Although staged revascularization is preferred, at times same-setting intervention, coronary artery bypass surgery, or medical therapy may be preferable. These cases exemplify clinical scenarios for treating nonculprit arteries in STEMI. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

RESUMO

AIM: The guideline for coronary artery revascularization replaces the 2011 coronary artery bypass graft surgery and the 2011 and 2015 percutaneous coronary intervention guidelines, providing a patient-centric approach to guide clinicians in the treatment of patients with significant coronary artery disease undergoing coronary revascularization as well as the supporting documentation to encourage their use. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted from May 2019 to September 2019, encompassing studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Collaboration, CINHL Complete, and other relevant databases. Additional relevant studies, published through May 2021, were also considered. STRUCTURE: Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Coronary revascularization is an important therapeutic option when managing patients with coronary artery disease. The 2021 coronary artery revascularization guideline provides recommendations based on contemporary evidence for the treatment of these patients. The recommendations present an evidence-based approach to managing patients with coronary artery disease who are being considered for coronary revascularization, with the intent to improve quality of care and align with patients' interests.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A higher loading dose of clopidogrel achieves a more rapid and consistent degree of platelet inhibition than standard dosing, although the clinical benefit of higher doses has not been clearly established. The use of the different doses in clinical practice is not known. We evaluated the patient, procedural, and hospital characteristics associated clopidogrel loading doses given to patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). METHODS: The National Cardiovascular Data Registry ACTION Get With the Guidelines Registry was queried for patients with NSTEMI admitted from 2007 to 2008. Demographic, clinical, and procedural information were collected on standardized data forms. Patients were categorized according to the clopidogrel loading dose received. Temporal trends in the use of different doses were evaluated in quarterly time intervals. RESULTS: Between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2008, the use of a 600-mg clopidogrel loading dose increased steadily from 36.4% to 45.5%, whereas the use of 300 mg decreased slightly from 40.1% to 37.1%. Patients loaded with clopidogrel before cardiac catheterization were more likely to receive 300 mg, whereas those receiving a loading dose at the time of catheterization more often received 600 mg. The temporal increase in the use of 600 mg clopidogrel loading doses was not explained by temporal changes in periprocedural loading, use of early invasive management of patients with NSTEMI, or use of antithrombotics or glycoprotein 2b/3a inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS: Higher loading dose clopidogrel increased between 2007 and 2008. Higher-dose clopidogrel was more frequently used in lower-risk patients undergoing an early invasive strategy and receiving periprocedural loading.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rapid ventricular pacing (RP) during percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) facilitates balloon positioning by preventing the "watermelon seeding" effect during balloon inflation. The clinical consequences of RP BAV have never been compared with standard BAV in which rapid pacing in not used. We evaluated the immediate results and in-hospital adverse events of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing BAV with and without RP. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of patients with severe AS undergoing retrograde BAV. Patients who underwent BAV with RP were compared to those who did not receive RP during BAV. Procedural outcomes, complications, and in-hospital adverse events were compared between both groups. Stratified analyses were performed to evaluate RP in pre-specified subsets for confounding and effect modification. RESULTS: Between January 2005 and December 2008, 111 consecutive patients underwent retrograde BAV at Massachusetts General Hospital. Sixty-seven patients underwent BAV with RP. Nearly 90% of patients were NYHA class III or IV and the mean AVA was 0.64 cm(2). Baseline characteristics and balloon sizes were similar in the two groups. The average post-BAV AVA was smaller in the RP group compared to the no-RP group (0.87 v. 1.02 cm(2), p = 0.02). Pre and post-cardiac output, in-hospital mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, frequency of cardiopulmonary arrest, vasopressor use, and major complications were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: 1) RP allows precise balloon placement during BAV. 2) RP BAV is associated with lower post-BAV AVA. 3) RP BAV may be safely performed in patients with high-risk cardiac features.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of commercial transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) for annular rings and calcification using contemporary techniques. BACKGROUND: TMVR is evolving in the absence of other viable treatment options for severe mitral annular calcification and failing ring repairs. The concomitant use of laceration of the anterior mitral valve leaflet to prevent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and pre-emptive alcohol septal ablation is not well studied in clinical practice. METHODS: A single-center study was conducted of valve-in-mitral annular calcification (ViMAC) and valve-in-ring (ViRing) TMVR from September 2015 to April 2020. In-hospital and 30-day outcomes were assessed. RESULTS: Forty patients underwent TMVR (28 ViMAC and 12 ViRing). Sixteen ViMAC (57%) and 5 ViRing (42%) patients underwent attempted laceration of the anterior mitral valve leaflet to prevent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Three patients underwent pre-emptive alcohol septal ablation. The median index hospitalization was 7 days. Six patients died within 30 days of the procedure, 6 (21%) in the ViMAC group and none in the ViRing group. Five patients (13%) had left ventricular outflow tract obstruction: 4 (14%) in the ViMAC cohort and 1 (8%) in the ViRing cohort. Five patients (13%) had either intraprocedural valve embolization or late migration (4 ViMAC and 1 ViRing). Technical success defined according to Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium criteria was present in 25 patients (63%): 9 (75%) in the ViRing cohort and 16 (57%) in the ViMAC cohort. At 30 days, the mitral valve gradient was significantly reduced (5.5 ± 2.1 vs. 10.6 ± 4.8; p < 0.01). Three patients (8%) had at least moderate residual mitral regurgitation. CONCLUSIONS: Transcatheter ViMAC and ViRing can be successfully performed but frequently require the use of contemporary adjunctive techniques.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) on 30-day readmission rates following hospitalization with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using a national database. BACKGROUND: AMI in the setting of SCAD represents an uncommon type of myocardial infarction with limited data on short-term outcomes. METHODS: All hospitalizations with primary or index diagnoses of AMI from 2010 to 2015 in the Nationwide Readmissions Database were queried. The primary outcome was overall 30-day readmission rates in both SCAD and non-SCAD cohorts. Propensity score matching (1:2) was conducted. RESULTS: A total of 2,654,087 patients with AMI were included in the final analysis, of whom 1,386 (0.052%) were diagnosed with SCAD. SCAD was associated with a higher readmission rate in the SCAD cohort (12.3% vs. 9.9%; p = 0.022). The main causes of readmissions in the SCAD cohort were cardiac causes (80.6%), and AMI was the most common cardiac cause (44.8%), followed by chest pain (20.1%) and arrhythmia (12.7%). Among the SCAD readmissions, 50.6% patients were readmitted in the first week post-discharge, with 54.5% of AMI readmissions occurring in the first 2 days post-discharge. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of 30-day readmission following AMI and SCAD is nontrivial and occurs early post-discharge. Most readmissions are due to cardiac causes, especially AMI. Targeted management approaches are needed to diminish the high rates of readmission and early recurrent AMI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Eccentricity of coronary ostial positions in relation to the aortic valve cusp may influence the target laceration location in BASILICA (Bioprosthetic or native Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration to prevent Coronary Artery obstruction). Eccentricity of the coronary ostia in relation to coronary cusps of native and valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was not well described before. METHODS: A total of 121 pre-TAVR patients' CT data (72 native valves TAVR and 49 bioprosthetic surgical valves TAVR) was included and coronary ostial eccentricity angles were measured and compared. Coronary ostial angles were measured between mid-cusp line to coronary ostium in CT perpendicular images. RESULTS: In the overall cohort, the right coronary artery (RCA) had an eccentric origin in the majority of cases, favoring the commissure between the right and the non coronary cusp (17.0°, IQR; 10-25). On the other hand, the left coronary artery (LCA) originated most commonly near center of the cusp position (0°, IQR; -8 -7.5) In comparison of native and bioprosthetic valves, RCA ostial angles were more eccentric in native valves (19.0°, IQR; 12-26) than in bioprosthetic valves (14.0°, IQR; 3-20) (p = 0.004). Whereas, LCA ostial angle has no significant differences between native valves (-2.0°, IQR;-7.75-5.75) and bioprosthetic valves (1°, IQR;-8-13), (p = 0.6). CONCLUSION: RCA ostia often have an eccentric origin towards the non-coronary cusp, especially in native aortic valves, while LCA ostia commonly originate near the center of the cusp. This finding may contribute to better performance of BASILICA procedures.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to report the 1-year results of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 (S3) valve in extremely large annuli. BACKGROUND: Favorable 30-day outcomes of S3 TAVR in annuli >683 mm2 have previously been reported. Pacemaker implantation rates were acceptable, and a larger left ventricular outflow tract and more eccentric annular anatomy were associated with increasing paravalvular leak. METHODS: From December 2013 to December 2018, 105 patients across 15 centers with mean area 721.3 ± 36.1 mm2 (range 683.5 to 852.0 mm2) underwent TAVR using an S3 device. Clinical, anatomic, and procedural characteristics were analyzed. One-year survival and echocardiographic follow-up were reached in 94.3% and 82.1% of patients, respectively. Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 30-day and 1-year outcomes were reported. RESULTS: The mean age was 76.9 ± 10.4 years, and Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk score averaged 5.2 ± 3.4%. One-year overall mortality and stroke rates were 18.2% and 2.4%, respectively. Quality-of-life index improved from baseline to 30 days and at 1 year (p < 0.001 for both). Mild paravalvular aortic regurgitation occurred in 21.7% of patients, while moderate or greater paravalvular aortic regurgitation occurred in 4.3%. Mild and moderate or severe transvalvular aortic regurgitation occurred in 11.6% and 0%, respectively. Valve gradients remained stable at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS: S3 TAVR in annular areas >683 mm2 is feasible, with favorable mid-term outcomes.
