RESUMO
Background: Coronary pseudoaneurysm is a rare, potentially fatal, complication of coronary intervention. A challenging management case of a giant right coronary pseudoaneurysm is presented. Case summary: A 56-year-old man presented with an atypical presentation for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Initial angiogram showed a crescent-shaped ostial lesion with probable connection to the aorta, which disappeared after placing a drug-eluting stent. A few hours later, patient was found to have staph aureus bacteraemia and infective endocarditis for which he received a prolonged antibiotic course. Patient presented a few weeks later with second degree heart block. Echocardiography showed a large cystic lesion adjacent to the right coronary cusp suspicious for a coronary pseudoaneurysm, which was confirmed with angiography. Attempts to treat it with a covered stent were unsuccessful and patient ultimately underwent surgical resection. Discussion: Coronary pseudoaneurysm develops when there is a contained breach of all three layers of the vessel. It may develop from direct iatrogenic trauma to the vessel wall but can be infectious in aetiology. The treatment approach remains uncertain due to limited evidence. Here, we present the diagnostic and technical challenges of managing such an uncommon entity and discuss an algorithm for management.
RESUMO
Subclinical leaflet thrombosis is characterized by hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on computed tomography. However, given the low incidence of HALT after TAVR, the clinical significance of HALT is still being investigated. We sought to generate a more reliable estimate of the risk factors and adverse outcomes associated with HALT after TAVR by pooling data from randomized trials and cohort studies. PubMed/Medline database was systematically searched from inception until November 24, 2021, using the following terms: ("hypoattenuated leaflet thickening" and "transcatheter aortic valve replacement") and ("Subclinical leaflet thrombosis" and "transcatheter aortic valve replacement"). A random effects model meta-analysis was conducted using Mantel-Haenszel odds ratios (ORs) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs), mean difference and the associated 95%. Ten studies with a total of 1462 patients were included, with follow-up ranging between 4 months and 3 years. HALT occurred in 14.4% of the patients undergoing TAVR. HALT was not associated with increased risk of stroke/TIA (OR 1.38; 95% CI [0.61-3.11]; I2=0%) or increased risk of all-cause mortality (OR 0.67; 95% CI [0.25-1.80]; I2=0). HALT was associated with a greater post-procedural mean aortic valve gradient (mean difference 2.31 mmHg; 95% CI [0.27, 4.35]; I2=71%). Interestingly, there was a trend of higher risk of HALT in men (OR 1.37; 95% CI [0.82-2.30]; I2=44%) while there was a trend towards lower risk of HALT in the presence of CKD (OR 0.76; 95% CI [0.49-1.19]; I2=0%); these trends did not reach statistical significance. This meta-analysis shows that the occurrence of HALT following TAVR is associated with a greater post-procedural mean aortic valve gradient but no excess risk of death or cerebrovascular events. The clinical significance of this higher post-procedural mean aortic valve gradient is uncertain and requires further investigations.

BACKGROUND: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with long-term outcomes. Data relating FFR-based trans-stent gradient (TSG) after PCI to long-term outcomes are sparse. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to test whether TSG is associated with adverse events at follow-up after PCI. METHODS: Data were gathered from a prospective registry evaluating 501 vessels in 416 patients with median follow-up period of 596 days. Primary endpoints were: 1) target vessel failure (TVF), including target vessel revascularization, and target vessel myocardial infarction after discharge; and 2) major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including TVF, target vessel revascularization, nontarget vessel MI, cardiac death. RESULTS: After PCI, median post-PCI FFR was 0.86 and median TSG was 0.04. TSG >0.04 was associated with increased rates of TVF (8.7% vs 2.9%; P = 0.014) and MACE (17.8% vs 9.2%; P = 0.02). Post-PCI FFR < 0.86 was associated with increased rates of TVF (6.1% vs 2.2%; P = 0.03) and MACE (16.5% vs 10%; P = 0.036). The vessel subgroup with high TSG and low FFR had significantly higher rates of TVF (10.2%; P = 0.02) and MACE (20.1%; P = 0.049) than vessels with: 1) high TSG and high FFR (TVF, 2.9%; MACE, 9.7%); 2) low TSG and low FFR (TVF, 3.8%; MACE, 11.3%); and 3) low TSG high FFR (TVF, 2.2%; MACE, 7.5%). In multivariate analysis, TSG was independently predictive of TVF. CONCLUSIONS: Higher TSG was an independent predictor of adverse events, particularly TVF, and identified a subgroup of patients at higher risk for poor outcomes. The combination of high TSG and low FFR showed significantly worse outcomes compared with an "ideal result" (high FFR and low TSG). These data support a recommendation to use TSG during FFR evaluation to determine the functional success of PCI.

BACKGROUND: There is uncertainty and limited data regarding initiation of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors among patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF). This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to establish the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors initiated in patients hospitalized for AHF. METHODS: PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane library were searched using the following terms: ("sglt2" and "acute heart failure") and ("sglt2" and "worsening heart failure") from inception till November 15th, 2021 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy and safety of initiating an SGLT2 inhibitor compared with placebo in patients with AHF. Major cardiovascular and diabetes scientific meetings in 2021 were also searched for relevant studies. Prespecified efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality, rehospitalization for heart failure, and improvement in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scale score. Prespecified safety outcomes were acute kidney injury (AKI), hypotension, and hypoglycemia. Random effects odds ratio (OR) and mean difference with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS: Three RCTs with a total of 1831 patients were included. Initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with AHF reduced the risk of rehospitalization for heart failure (OR 0.52; 95% CI [0.42, 0.65]) and improved Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores (mean difference 4.12; 95% CI [0.1.89, 6.53]). There was no statistically significant effect for initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with AHF on all-cause mortality (OR 0.70; 95% CI [0.46, 1.08]). Initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with AHF did not increase the acute kidney injury (OR 0.76; 95% CI [0.50, 1.16]), hypotension (OR 1.17; 95% CI [0.80, 1.71]), or hypoglycemia (OR 1.51; 95% CI [0.86, 2.65]). CONCLUSION: Initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients hospitalized for AHF during hospitalization or early post-discharge (within 3 days) reduces the risk of rehospitalization for heart failure and improves patient-reported outcomes with no excess risk of adverse effects.

BACKGROUND: Measurement of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) demonstrates residual ischemia in a large percentage of cases deemed angiographically successful which, in turn, has been associated with worse long-term outcomes. It has recently been shown that a resting pressure index, Pd/Pa, has prognostic value post stenting, however, its diagnostic value relative to FFR post-PCI has not been evaluated. METHODS: The diagnostic accuracy of Pd/Pa in identifying ischemia (FFR≤0.80) pre- and post-PCI was evaluated. Three patient subsets were analyzed. A reference pre-PCI cohort of 1,255 patients (1,560 vessels) was used to measure the accuracy of pre-PCI Pd/Pa vs. FFR. A derivation post-PCI group of 574 patient (664 vessels) was then used to calculate the diagnostic accuracy of post-PCI Pd/Pa vs. FFR. A final prospective validation cohort of 230 patients (255 vessels) was used to test and validate the diagnostic performance of post-PCI Pd/Pa. RESULTS: Median Pd/Pa and FFR were 0.90 (IQR 0.90-0.98) and 0.80 (IQR 0.71-0.88) in the reference pre-PCI model, 0.96 (IQR 0.93-1.00) and 0.87 (IQR 0.77-0.90) in the post-PCI derivation model, and 0.94 (IQR 0.89-0.97) and 0.84 (IQR 0.77-0.90) in the post-PCI validation model respectively. There was a strong linear correlation between Pd/Pa and FFR in all three models (p < 0.0001). Using ROC analysis, the optimal Pd/Pa cutoff value to predict a FFR ≤ 0.80 was ≤0.92 (AUC 0.87) in the pre-PCI model, ≤0.93 (AUC 0.85) in the post-PCI derivation model, and ≤ 0.90 (AUC 0.91) in the post-PCI validation model. Using a hybrid strategy of post-PCI Pd/Pa and post-PCI FFR when necessary (25% patients), overall diagnostic accuracy was improved to 95%. CONCLUSIONS: Pd/Pa has excellent diagnostic accuracy for identifying ischemia post-intervention. Using a hybrid strategy of post-PCI Pd/Pa first, and FFR afterwards, if required, adenosine administration can be avoided in over 75% of physiologic assessments post intervention.

OBJECTIVES/BACKGROUND: Resting coronary blood flow approximates flow with maximal vasodilation in very severe coronary stenosis. We studied the incidence of exhausted vasodilatory reserve by FFR, its clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis after FFR guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: Consecutive patients undergoing FFR-guided PCI for coronary stenosis with reduced resting blood flow (baseline Pd/Pa < 0.8) were included. Basal maximal vasodilation (BMV) was defined as less than 5% difference between resting Pd/Pa and FFR, that is, FFR-baseline Pd/Pa < 0.05. RESULTS: Of 658 vessels that underwent FFR-guided PCI in 602 patients, 151 vessels had resting blood flow in the ischemic range (baseline Pd/Pa ≤ 0.8) and were included in the analysis. Of these, 28 lesions in 28 patients met criteria for BMV (4.25% of the entire registry and 18.5% of those with the reduced basal coronary flow). Stenosis severity was a significant predictor of the presence of BMV. In long term follow-up (median 106 ± 3.6 months), BMV was not associated with increased target vessel revascularization (TVR) or major adverse cardiac event compared to non-BMV(OR 1.9, 95% CI 0.7-4.8, p-value 0.2 and OR 1.3, 95% CI 0.75-2.5, p = 0.3, respectively). CONCLUSION: Low baseline Pd/Pa that approximates fractional flow reserve (exhausted vasodilatory reserve) defines a subgroup of patients with severe coronary artery stenosis. Prognosis, when treated with PCI along with medical therapy, appears similar to those with intact vasodilatory reserve.

In this report, we aim to provide an updated meta-analysis of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors trial data with the new trial data on sotagliflozin, a first-in-class dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor. We searched Medline, Cochrane library, and Embase databases for randomized clinical trials comparing cardiovascular and kidney outcomes between SGLT2 and dual SGLT1/2 inhibitors and placebo. Nine randomized clinical trials with a total of 60,914 patients with type 2 diabetes were included. In patients with type 2 diabetes, the use of SGLT2 and dual SGLT1/2 inhibitors improves the cardiovascular and kidney outcome.

Pseudoaneurysm (PSA) formation is a rare but well-known complication of coronary stenting. It develops after a procedural perforation disrupts the integrity of the vessel wall but is contained by a single wall layer, usually pericardium, extravascular thrombosis and later fibrosis. Medical literature of PSA consists primarily of case reports. A systematic review of pseudoaneurysm after coronary stenting was performed to summarize its presentation, diagnostic imaging modalities, natural history, and management approaches. Clinical presentations range from asymptomatic to hemodynamic collapse, size from small to "giant," and treatment approaches from surgical or percutaneous exclusion to "watchful waiting" and imaging surveillance. Based on current information, a management algorithm is provided recommending urgent to emergent exclusion for symptomatic PSA, elective exclusion for large and giant PSA, and "watchful waiting" and periodic imaging surveillance for small to moderate sized PSA.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) use is associated with improved cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. However, the magnitude and potential heterogeneity of effect across patients with varying types of cardiometabolic and kidney disease is unclear. To examine the effect of SGLT2i on cardiovascular and kidney outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and independent of T2DM status, among patients with heart failure (HF), and chronic kidney disease. METHOD: Medline, Embase, Cochrane library and scientific conferences were searched from inception till September 24, 2020 for randomized controlled trials comparing cardiovascular and kidney outcomes between SGLT2i and placebo. Random effects hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS: Eight trials with a combined 59,747 patients were included. In the overall population, SGLT2i reduced the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.84; 95% CI [0.78-0.91]), cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.84; 95% CI [0.76-0.93]) hospitalization for HF (HR 0.69; 95% CI [0.64-0.74]), myocardial infarction (HR 0.91; 95% CI [0.84-0.99]), and composite kidney outcome (HR 0.62; 95% CI [0.56-0.70]). There was no significant effect on the risk of stroke (HR 0.98; 95% CI [0.86-1.11]). Results were consistent across subgroups stratified by diabetes and HF status. SGLT2i use was not associated with a greater risk of hypoglycemia (OR 0.92; 95% CI [0.84-1.01]) or amputation (OR 1.25; 95% CI [0.97-1.62]). There were 64 diabetic ketoacidosis events with SGLT2i use and 18 with placebo (OR 2.86; 95% CI [1.39-5.86]). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with cardiometabolic and kidney disease, SGLT2i improved cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, regardless of T2DM, HF, and/or CKD status. The magnitude of risk reduction was largest for hospitalization for HF and progression of kidney disease, more modest for mortality and MI and absent for stroke.

Background Long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) relate in part to residual ischemia in the treated vessel, as reflected by post-PCI fractional flow reserve (FFR). The strategy of FFR after PCI and treatment of residual ischemia-known as functionally optimized coronary intervention (FCI)-may be feasible and capable of improving outcomes. Methods and Results Feasibility and results of FCI using an optical-sensor pressure wire were prospectively evaluated in an all-comer population with 50% to 99% lesions and ischemic FFR (≤0.80; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03227588). FCI was attempted in 250 vessels in 226 consecutive patients. The PCI success rate was 99.6% (249/250 vessels). FCI technical success-that is, FFR before and after PCI and PCI itself using the FFR wire-was 92% (230/250 vessels). Incidence of residual ischemia in the treated vessel was 36.5%. Approximately a third of these vessels (34.5%, n=29) were considered appropriate for further intervention, with FFR increasing from 0.71±0.07 to 0.81±0.06 (P<0.001). Pressure wire pullback showed FFR ≤0.8 at distal stent edge was 7.9% and 0.7% proximal to the stent. FFR increase across the stent was larger in the ischemic than in the nonischemic group (0.06 [interquartile range: 0.04-0.08] versus 0.03 [interquartile range: 0.01-0.05]; P<0.0001) compatible with stent underexpansion as a contributor to residual ischemia. Conclusions FCI is a feasible and safe clinical strategy that identifies residual ischemia in a large proportion of patients undergoing angiographically successful PCI. Further intervention can improve ischemia. The impact of this strategy on long-term outcomes needs further study.

Acute and subacute stent thromboses are rare but life-threatening complications of primary coronary intervention and stenting. We present a case of a patient with COVID-19 infection who presented with pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Reperfusion was achieved with coronary angioplasty and drug-eluting stent placement, and the patient was started on aspirin and clopidogrel. However, 72 hours later, the patient experienced an episode of subacute stent thrombosis. This raises concerns about a possible association between stent thrombosis and increased thrombogenicity and platelet aggregability triggered by COVID-19 infection.
RESUMO
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and left ventricular free wall rupture are rare but life-threatening complications of acute myocardial infarction. Dynamic systolic compression of the coronary arteries is almost always due to myocardial bridging. However, it has rarely been described in patients with ventricular aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms. We present a case of a patient with recent myocardial infarction who presented with recurrence of chest pain and coronary angiogram showing patent vessels however with systolic compression of the distal left anterior descending coronary artery as a first clue to postinfarct left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Coronary artery disease and cancer often co-exist. Patients with cancer have been excluded by most major cardiology trials and registries and their management remains largely empiric. Cancer patients experience an approximately 10-times increased mortality compared to the general population. Conservative therapy of ACS in cancer therapy results in 1-year mortality of 74%. This review article aims to describe the mechanisms of acute coronary syndromes in cancer patients, their clinical presentation, and their management. RECENT FINDINGS: Newer studies have shed light on the mechanisms of ACS in cancer patients, which are different and related to the type of malignancy and its associated therapy. Medication-specific coronary effects (vasospasm, endothelial dysfunction, spontaneous thrombosis, accelerated atherosclerosis), radiation vasculitis, cancer cell coronary embolism, and coronary compression from thoracic malignancies are unique ACS mechanisms in cancer patients. Close collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists for thoughtful patient selection and decision making strategies is necessary to provide optimal medical care.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) appears to be equivalent to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with regard to clinical end points in high-risk and intermediate risk patients. Major landmark trials, such as Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves (PARTNER) trials 1 and 2 and US CoreValve show similar hemodynamic responses and left ventricular remodeling after both procedures. Real-life nonrandomized studies, however, suggest that TAVI may result in a somewhat better hemodynamic response and, therefore, a more favorable left ventricular remodeling than after SAVR for the first few years of follow-up. Further, there are fewer cases of prosthesis patient mismatch and more cases of paravalvular leak and conduction system abnormalities that affect the left ventricular remodeling process with TAVI than with SAVR. Overall, TAVI may be considered superior to SAVR in high-risk patients whose clinical outcome depends on a favorable remodeling process.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the impact of residual coronary artery disease (CAD), using the residual SYNTAX score (rSS), on in-hospital outcomes after primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI). The study also aimed to determine independent predictors for high rSS. Residual CAD has been associated with worsened prognosis in patients undergoing PCI for non-ST acute coronary syndromes. The rSS is a systematic angiographic score that measures the extent and complexity of residual CAD after PCI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from 243 consecutive patients undergoing PPCI for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were analyzed. The rSS was derived from post-PPCI angiography. Patients were dichotomized into low (<8) and high rSS (≥8) groups and outcomes were compared between groups. The primary outcome of net adverse cardiovascular events (NACE) consisted of a composite of in-hospital death, congestive heart failure (CHF), recurrent MI and bleeding. RESULTS: The mean rSS was 4.7 (±7.2). A high rSS was associated with the primary outcome (P < 0.0001), in-hospital death (P = 0.0026), periprocedural death (P < 0.0001), CHF (P < 0.0004) and acute kidney injury (P < 0.0019). A high rSS was also an independent predictor of the primary outcome with an OR of 3.82. Independent predictors of a high rSS included a history of diabetes (OR 2.8), previous MI (OR 5.75), 2-vessel disease (VD) (OR 15.48, vs. 1-VD) and 3-VD (OR 57.06, vs. 1-VD). CONCLUSIONS: Residual CAD, as assessed by the rSS, confers a worsened prognosis in patients undergoing PPCI. Diabetes, previous MI and multi-vessel disease were independent predictors of a high rSS. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We aimed to describe the impact of the vascular access used when patients are treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and to assess whether this translates into differences in angiographic outcomes. Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction who underwent PPCI were divided into 3 groups: successful radial access (RA), successful femoral access (FA), and Crossover (failed RA with need for bailout FA) groups. Vascular access-related time (VART) was defined as the delay in PPCI that can be attributed to vascular access-related issues. Study end point was the final corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction frame count. Multivariable analysis was used to identify predictors of RA failure (RAF: FA + Crossover). We included 241 patients (RA, n = 172; FA, n = 49; Crossover, n = 20). Mean VART was longer in Crossover (10.3 [8.8 to 12.4] minutes), relative to RA (4.1 [3.2 to 5.5] minutes) and FA (4.6 [3.4 to 8.4] minutes, p <0.001). A similar situation was found for time-to-first device (Crossover 22.5 [20.3 to 32.0], RA 15.0 [12.0 to 19.8]; FA 17.9 [13.5 to 22.3] minutes, p <0.001) and total procedure time (Crossover 60.3 [51.6 to 71.5], RA 46.8 [38.1 to 59.7], FA 52.3 [41.9 to 74.7] minutes, p <0.001). No differences in corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction frame count were observed (Crossover 26 [18 to 32] frames, RA 24 [18 to 32] frames, FA 25 [16 to 34] frames, p = 0.625). Killip class IV (odds ratio [OR] 3.628, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.098 to 11.981, p = 0.035), cardiopulmonary resuscitation before arrival (OR 3.572, 95% CI 1.028 to 12.407, p = 0.045), and glomerular filtration rate (OR 0.861, 95% CI 0.758 to 0.978, p = 0.021) were independent predictors of RA failure. In conclusion, in the setting of PPCI, radial-to-FA crossover can lead to VART delays that do not affect angiographic outcomes, in comparison with successful RA.

BACKGROUND: Endovascular approach to superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease, the most common cause of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease, remains fraught with high failure rates. Newer devices including second-generation nitinol stents, drug-coated stents, drug-coated balloons, covered stents, cryo-therapy, LASER, and directional atherectomy have shown promising results. Clinical equipoise still persists regarding the optimal selection of devices, largely attributable to the different inclusion criteria, study population, length of lesions treated, definition of "patency" and "restenosis," and follow-up methods in the pivotal trials. METHODS: A prospective protocol was developed. We performed a literature search using PubMed from January 2006 to November 2013. Published articles including endovascular interventions in SFA or popliteal arteries with reported 12-month "primary patency" or "binary restenosis" rates as endpoints were included. RESULTS: We identified 6,024 patients in 61 trials reporting 12-month primary patency rates in patients with femoropoliteal disease. Primary patency rates were (weighted average) 77.2% for nitinol stents, 68.8% for covered stents, 84% for drug eluting stents, 78.2% for drug eluting/coated balloon, 60.7% for cryoballoon, 51.1% for LASER atherectomy, 63.5% for directional atherectomy and 70.2% with a combination of endovascular devices. CONCLUSION: The most frequently used endovascular devices yielded various 12-month primary patency rates ranging from 51% to 85%. The increased variation in inclusion criteria, length, and complexity of lesions between studies does not allow direct comparison between them. Larger randomized trials in specific patient populations comparing those modalities is needed before we can make safe recommendation of the superiority of one device over the other.
