RESUMO
Spontaneous remission is often observed in extracardiac cases of sarcoidosis, such as skin sarcoidosis. However, for cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), the prognosis is unfavorable. Although corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for CS, data regarding the natural history of isolated CS are limited. We describe a rare case of isolated CS with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction that improved without steroid therapy.

BACKGROUND: The Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) defined a consensus clinical criterion for patients at HBR undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to validate and compare the ARC-HBR criteria and the contemporary risk score for long-term bleeding outcomes using a cohort of patients undergoing PCI.MethodsâandâResults: This study analyzed 3,410 patients who underwent PCI between 2010 and 2013. The endpoint was defined as incidence of The Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3 or 5 bleeding events. In addition to ARC-HBR, this study validated the predictability of the Predicting Bleeding Complications in Patients Undergoing Stent Implantation and Subsequent Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (PRECISE-DAPT) score, Patterns of non-adherence to Anti-platelet Regimens In Stented patients (PARIS) bleeding score, and Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto (CREDO-Kyoto) bleeding scores for bleeding events. There was a trend toward an increase in bleeding events, as the risk score increased for all bleeding risk scores used in this study. The ARC-HBR criteria had higher diagnostic sensitivity for bleeding events than other bleeding risk scores. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a higher number of risk factors in each of the four bleeding risk scores had a higher risk of long-term bleeding events. In comparison to other contemporary risk scores, the ARC-HBR criteria were more sensitive in the identification of patients with bleeding events in the long-term.

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) and intracranial bleeding (ICB) are frequently observed as major bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, there are few reports on these predictors and their association with the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR).MethodsâandâResults: The study included 3,453 patients who underwent PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stents between 2010 and 2013. Mean follow up was 2,663±596 days. The cumulative incidences of GIB and ICB were significantly higher in the HBR group than in the non-HBR group (6.3% vs. 1.9%, P<0.001, 5.5% vs. 2.3%, P<0.001). Older age, oral anticoagulant (OAC), and severe chronic kidney disease were independent predictors of GIB (hazard ratios [HR], 1.64; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.11-2.41; P=0.012; HR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.23-3.05; P=0.004; HR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.02-3.19, P=0.043 respectively), and low body weight, OAC, and left main coronary artery stenting were independent predictors of ICB by multivariate logistic regression analysis (HR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.20-2.80; P=0.005; HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.31-3.19; P=0.002; HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.18-2.70; P=0.006 respectively). CONCLUSIONS: ARC-HBR was consistently associated with GIB and ICB within a 7-year period. GIB and ICB had three predictors each. Of these, only OAC administration was common, and the other two were different.

Paclitaxel has the potential for inducing lumen enlargement by vessel enlargement, healing of dissection, and plaque regression. This study was carried out to determine the possibility of and the relevant factors of delayed stenosis regression after drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for femoropopliteal (FP) artery lesions. A total 105 de novo FP lesions were finalized with DCB angioplasty in our institute between May 2018 and June 2020. Among them, cases in which residual stenosis was detected by duplex ultrasonography (DUS) after the procedure were included in this study. Significant stenosis was defined as peak systolic velocity ratio ≥ 2.4 by DUS. Follow-up DUS was routinely performed 6 months after the procedure, and we defined cases without stenosis as cases of delayed stenosis regression according to the follow-up DUS. DUS showed that 26 (25.5%) of 102 lesions had residual stenosis after DCB angioplasty, and delayed stenosis regression was observed in 12 (57.1%) of 21 lesions 6 months after the procedure. The percentage of lesions containing calcified plaque as detected by intravascular ultrasound analysis was significantly higher in the non-regression group than in the regression group (18.2% vs. 77.8%, p = 0.02). Vessel remodeling and dissection patterns were not associated with delayed stenosis regression. The results of our analyses indicate that delayed stenosis regression may occur after DCB angioplasty for FP lesions in more than half of cases with residual stenosis. Delayed stenosis regression may be difficult in cases of calcified lesions.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of the guidewire route on severe dissection after balloon angioplasty for femoropopliteal chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions using a new intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) assessed classification scheme corresponding to a conventional angiographic classification scheme. METHODS: Images for 21 femoropopliteal CTO lesions treated endovascularly between May 2018 and December 2019 were used for analysis. IVUS images after guidewire passage and those after balloon angioplasty were evaluated at 1 cm intervals. Cross sectional images were obtained (n = 219) and divided into two groups by the guidewire route: those in which the guidewire passed through the inner half of the luminal radius (central wiring group, 139 cross sectional images) and those in which the guidewire passed through the outer half of the luminal radius (eccentric wiring group, 80 cross sectional images). Angiographically severe dissection was defined as Type C or greater according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute classification, to which six dissection morphology patterns were applied based on IVUS images (Types A - E2). RESULTS: Central wiring was achieved in an average of 69.6 ± 28.0% of the CTO length from per limb analysis. Among the IVUS assessed dissection morphology patterns, Types D - E2 were more frequently correlated with angiographically severe dissection than were Types A - C (57.5% vs. 13.7%, p < .001). Multivariable analysis showed that soft plaque was a predictive factor for (odds ratio [OR] 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.007 - 4.72; p = .048) and central wiring was a protective factor (OR 0.27; 95% CI 0.14 - 0.49; p < .001) against Type D - E2 dissection patterns assessed by IVUS after balloon angioplasty. CONCLUSION: Lesions with Type D - E2 dissection patterns assessed by IVUS were correlated with angiographically severe dissection. Central wiring may be useful for preventing severe dissection after balloon angioplasty for femoropopliteal CTO lesions.

BACKGROUND: The validity of the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) definitions of early (<1 year), late (1-4 years), and very late (>4 years) bleeding events is unknown.MethodsâandâResults:This study was performed on patients (n=3,453) implanted with second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) between 2010 and 2013. Data on all criteria of the ARC-HBR definition were collected retrospectively. The primary endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium Type 3 or 5 bleeding events; the ischemic endpoint was a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. The mean follow-up period was 7.5 years. Compared with non-high bleeding risk (HBR) patients, HBR patients (n=1,840; 53.3%) had an increased risk of the primary endpoint (early events, 3.6% vs. 0.5% [P<0.0001]; late events, 5.3% vs. 2.5% [P<0.0001]; very late events, 5.5% vs. 2.1% [P<0.0001]) and of ischemic events during follow-up. The discrimination ability of the ARC-HBR definition for late and very late bleeding events was comparable to that of early bleeding events (C statistics 0.679, 0.621, and 0.620, respectively) with high negative predictive value (96.6%, 95.1%, and 93.1%, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed the different effects of individual criteria on bleeding events in each follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: The ARC-HBR definition consistently identified patients at risk of long-term bleeding and ischemic events after second-generation DES implantation.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary bifurcation lesions using the 2-stent strategy remains a challenging procedure for interventionalists because of the higher incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and adverse events. ISR predictors in patients treated with newer-generation everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and the 2-stent strategy remain unknown. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the 1-year clinical and angiographic outcomes of non-left main trunk (LMT) bifurcation lesions treated with the 2-stent strategy using newer-generation EES.MethodsâandâResults:The study sample consisted of 262 non-LMT bifurcation lesions treated using culotte or T-stenting with EES between 2010 and 2018. One-year post-procedural angiographic and clinical examinations were conducted in 208 (79.4%) and 260 (99.2%) lesions, respectively. The primary outcome measure was the 1-year post-procedural ISR rate, which was found to be 15.9%. Independent predictors of 1-year post-procedural ISR were long side branch lesions (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-5.23; P=0.04) and 3-link EES implantation (aOR 2.45; 95% CI 1.07-5.61; P=0.03). The 1-year cumulative incidence of target lesion revascularization was 3.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The 1-year clinical outcomes of non-LMT bifurcation lesions treated with the 2-stent strategy using EES were acceptable. Long side branch lesions and lesions treated with 3-link EES were independent predictors of 1-year post-procedural ISR.

We aimed to compare the intravascular imaging findings, and clinical outcomes between three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (OCT)- and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the left main coronary artery (LMCA). We enrolled 331 patients underwent OCT- or IVUS-guide single crossover stenting across the side branch (SB) and subsequent kissing balloon inflation (KBT) for LMCA bifurcation. Primary endpoint was defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization. Of 331 patients, 58 patients (17.5%) underwent OCT-guide PCI. OCT-guide PCI associated with higher frequency of proximal optimization technique (POT) (98.3% vs 85.3%, P = 0.013) and smaller balloon size of POT (4.29 ± 0.44 mm vs 4.43 ± 0.42, P = 0.02) than IVUS-guide PCI. Although maximal stent area at LMCA and minimal stent area at main vessel were significantly smaller in OCT-guide PCI in intravascular imaging (P = 0.01, and P = 0.002, respectively), the restenosis rate at follow-up angiography was comparable in both groups (15.2% vs. 9.4%, P = 0.387). Cumulative rate of primary endpoint was not significantly different between 2 groups both before and after propensity score adjustment (7.0% vs. 7.4%, P = 0.98 and 2.6% vs. 7.3%, P = 0.18). In conclusion, the clinical outcomes at 1 year were comparable, suggesting OCT- and IVUS-guided PCI for LMCA were similarly feasible. The balloon size of POT in OCT-guide PCI might be influenced by the limited visibility in the proximal LMCA.

Little is known about the impact of a high-dose statin on cardiovascular outcomes after ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) in real-world Japanese patients. Between July 2011 and June 2017, 1110 consecutive STEMI patients underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention at our hospital and were discharged. A high-dose statin was administered in 117 patients (10.5%) and non-high-dose statin was administered in 947 patients (85.3%). The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was significantly higher in the high-dose statin group at admission (129.8 ± 44.9 vs. 110.4 ± 32.7, p < 0.0001), but the levels were not significantly different at follow-up (86.7 ± 25.7 vs. 85.0 ± 25.0, p = 0.52). The cumulative 2-year incidence of a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and any unplanned coronary revascularization was significantly lower in the high-dose statin group (6.2% vs. 16.9%, log-rank p = 0.004). Propensity score matched analysis indicated similar results. Among the types of coronary revascularization, a high-dose statin was significantly correlated with a lower rate of de novo lesion revascularization (hazard ratio 0.31; 95% confidence interval 0.08-0.83; p = 0.02). The results of our analyses indicate that administration of a high-dose statin may result in better cardiovascular outcomes after STEMI mainly by reducing the rate of revascularization for de novo lesions regardless of the achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in real-world patients.

BACKGROUND: The Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria have been suggested as the standard definition of HBR. However, the prevalence of individual criteria and their prognostic value for long-term bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention are scarcely studied.MethodsâandâResults:The study population comprised 1,193 patients treated with everolimus-eluting stents between 2010 and 2011. Data on all 17 major and minor criteria of the ARC-HBR definition were retrospectively collected, and applied to this study population. Major bleeding was defined as the occurrence of a BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding event. A simplified definition was developed by excluding the low-frequency criterion, and the prognostic value was assessed by a receiver-operating characteristic curve. Mean follow-up was 2,996±433 days and there were 656 HBR patients (55.0%). The cumulative incidence of major bleeding was significantly higher in the HBR group than in the non-HBR group (16.2% vs. 5.7% at 8 years, P<0.001). The frequencies of 6 of the 17 criteria were less than 1%. The prognostic value of the simplified definition made by excluding these 6 criteria for major bleeding was comparable to that of the original (c-statistic=0.598 and 0.600, P=0.08). CONCLUSIONS: Some risk criteria of the ARC-HBR definition are observed infrequently. Our simplified definition identified patients with long-term bleeding risk as successfully as the original definition.

BACKGROUND: Guide catheter-induced iatrogenic coronary artery dissection is a rare but feared complication. When it occurs, bailout stenting is widely performed; however, its prognosis and the impact of stent type remains unclear.MethodsâandâResults:The study population consisted of 77,257 consecutive patients (coronary angiography, 55,864; percutaneous coronary intervention, 21,393) between 2000 and 2015. We investigated the incidence, clinical outcomes, and angiographic results after bailout stenting and compared by stent type: bare-metal stent (BMS) and drug-eluting stent (DES). Iatrogenic coronary artery dissection occurred in 105 patients (incidence rate, 0.14%). All cases of iatrogenic coronary artery dissection that were recognized as requiring bailout procedure could be managed by stent implantation, and no patients died during bailout procedure. The 5-year cumulative incidences of cardiac death, target lesion revascularization, and major adverse cardiac events were 11.3%, 10.3%, and 21.0%, respectively. The binary restenosis rate was 10.4%, and it was not significantly different between BMS and DES implantation. In lesions with preprocedural stenosis, however, it was significantly lower in the DES group than in the BMS group. On the other hand, coronary artery dissection recurred in 8 patients, which was observed only after DES implantation. CONCLUSIONS: The immediate and long-term outcomes of bailout stenting for iatrogenic coronary artery dissection were acceptable. Although DES may be favorable for stenotic lesions, coronary artery dissection can recur after DES implantation.

BACKGROUND: To date, the long-term incidence and details of major bleeding (MB) and coronary thrombotic events (CTE) in patients with everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation have not been made clear.MethodsâandâResults:The study population comprised 1,193 patients treated with EES without in-hospital events between 2010 and 2011. MB was defined as the occurrence of a Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5 bleeding event. The mean follow-up period was 2,996±433 days. Cumulative rate of MB was 7.4% and 10.8% at 5 and 8 years, respectively. Of 46 patients with intracranial bleeding, 20 had trauma-related intracranial bleeding. Cumulative rates of definite stent thrombosis and CTE at 8 years were 0.4% and 5.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed low body mass index (<23) (hazard ratio (HR), 1.57; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-2.36; P=0.03) and concomitant use of oral anticoagulants (HR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.30-3.50; P=0.004) as independent risk factors of MB and previous PCI (HR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.29-1.00; P=0.006) as the factor for CTE. CONCLUSIONS: MB is not uncommon and is a long-term hazard, but the occurrence of stent thrombosis is very low after EES implantation. Approximately half of the cases involving intracranial bleeding were associated with trauma.

BACKGROUND: Data on outcomes of non-left main coronary bifurcation lesions treated with the 2-stent strategy using 2nd-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) are insufficient.MethodsâandâResults:The 2-year outcomes and predictors of target lesion revascularization (TLR) in 356 patients with 364 non-left main coronary bifurcation lesions treated with the 2-stent strategy using 2nd-generation DES were retrospectively evaluated. The primary outcome measure was defined as TLR. The median follow-up duration was 3.6 years (interquartile range, 2.7-4.9 years). A 2-year clinical follow-up was achieved in 99.2%. The 2-year cumulative incidence of TLR was 9.2%. Multiple stents implanted in either the main branch (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.01; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.37-6.62; P=0.006) or the side branch (adjusted OR 4.55; 95% CI: 1.99-10.4; P<0.001) and the culprit in the left anterior descending artery and its diagonal branch (adjusted OR 0.33; 95% CI: 0.15-0.75: P=0.008) were independent predictors of TLR within 2 years. CONCLUSIONS: The 2-year outcomes for the 2-stent strategy using 2nd-generation DES in non-left main coronary bifurcation lesions were acceptable. Coronary bifurcation location in the left anterior descending artery and its diagonal branch is protective against TLR, whereas multiple stents implanted in either the main branch or the side branch was associated with TLR.

BACKGROUND: Little is known of the relationship between optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings and recurrent restenosis after paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) angioplasty for drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis (DES-ISR). To identify the predictors of recurrent restenosis after PCB angioplasty, we investigated quantitative and qualitative OCT findings during PCB angioplasty for DES-ISR. MethodsâandâResults: In all, 222 DES-ISR lesions treated by PCB angioplasty with OCT assessment and followed-up angiographically at 6 months were divided into restenotic and non-restenotic lesions on the basis of the presence or absence of restenosis at follow-up. There was a significantly higher proportion of the heterogeneous tissue pattern in restenotic than non-restenotic lesions (26.5% vs. 11.0%, respectively; P=0.02). The OCT-derived post-procedural minimal lumen and stent areas were significantly smaller in restenotic lesions, but the intima area was similar in both groups. Post-procedural stent underexpansion, defined as a stent diameter : size of the previous stent ratio <1.0, was more frequently observed in restenotic than non-restenotic lesions (33.3% vs. 17.4%, respectively; P=0.02). Multivariate analysis identified a heterogeneous tissue pattern (odds ratio [OR] 2.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32-6.47; P=0.006) and post-procedural stent underexpansion (OR 2.36; 95% CI 1.15-4.85; P=0.04) as independent predictors of recurrent restenosis. CONCLUSIONS: The heterogeneous tissue pattern and insufficient post-procedural minimal lumen area, caused primarily by stent underexpansion, may be associated with restenosis after PCB angioplasty for DES-ISR.

BACKGROUND: Data on bleeding events in Japanese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are insufficient. In addition, the efficacy and safety of a maintenance dose of prasugrel 2.5 mg/day in high bleeding risk patients are unknown.MethodsâandâResults:We prospectively enrolled 1,167 consecutive patients with suspected ACS and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The maintenance dose of prasugrel 2.5 mg/day was prescribed for patients with a low body weight (≤50 kg), elderly (≥75 years), or renal insufficiency (eGFR ≤30 mL/min/1.73 m2). In-hospital events were assessed in 992 ACS patients treated with drug-eluting stents. Excluding 29 in-hospital deaths, out-of-hospital events were assessed in 963 ACS patients. The primary safety outcome measure was major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 3 and 5). The incidence of in-hospital major bleeding was 3.4%. Multivariate analysis showed that being elderly, low body weight, renal insufficiency, stroke history, femoral approach, and mechanical support usage were independent predictors of in-hospital major bleeding. The cumulative 1-year incidence of out-of-hospital major bleeding was not significantly different between the prasugrel 2.5 mg/day (n=284) and 3.75 mg/day (n=487) groups (1.6% vs. 0.7%, log-rank P=0.24). That of out-of-hospital definite or probable stent thrombosis was 0% in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: The maintenance dose of adjusted prasugrel 2.5 mg/day seems to be one option in ACS patients at high bleeding risk.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the impact of stent type on the prognosis of vasospastic angina (VSA) in patients who undergo stent implantation.MethodsâandâResults:We evaluated consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography with positive (n=650; VSA) and negative (n=2,872; non-VSA) ergonovine testing. Among them, 304 patients undergoing stent implantation for organic stenosis were classified for comparison into 3 respective VSA and non-VSA groups based on stent type (68 and 78 with bare-metal stent [BMS]; 21 and 49 with sirolimus-eluting stent [SES]; 26 and 62 with newer generation drug-eluting stent [N-DES]). The primary outcome was defined as target lesion revascularization, target vessel revascularization, emergency coronary angiography, and cardiac death. The 2-year cumulative incidence of the primary outcome was significantly higher in the VSA group than non-VSA group after SES implantation (38.1% vs. 16.1%, P=0.03), whereas there were no differences between the 2 groups after both BMS implantation and N-DES implantation. The difference in the percent diameter stenosis from mid-term to late-term follow-up was significantly higher in the VSA group than non-VSA group (10.0% vs. 2.3%, P=0.045) after SES implantation, whereas there were no differences between the 2 groups after both BMS implantation and N-DES implantation. CONCLUSIONS: The impact of VSA on clinical and angiographic outcomes was observed only in SES implantation, but not after N-DES or BMS implantation.

BACKGROUND: Stent fracture (SF) and peri-stent contrast staining (PSS) after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation are reported to be risk factors of adverse events. However, the effect of these after everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation on long-term outcomes remains unclear.MethodsâandâResults:The study sample comprised 636 patients (1,081 lesions) undergoing EES implantation in 2010 and follow-up angiography within 1 year. The 5-year cumulative rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE: a combination of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and TLR) were compared between patients with and without SF or PSS. SF was observed in 2.7%, and PSS in 3.0%. The cumulative rates of MACE and TLR were significantly higher in the SF group than in the non-SF group (51.7% vs. 27.5% and 48.3% vs. 13.4%, respectively), but showed no significant differences between the PSS and non-PSS groups. In a landmark analysis, the rate of TLR within 1 year was significantly higher in the SF group than in the non-SF group (44.8% vs. 7.2%), but beyond 1 year showed no significant difference (6.3% vs 6.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The 5-year clinical outcomes suggested that SF after EES implantation is related to increased risk of MACE and TLR, especially within 1 year after the procedure, but PSS after EES implantation is unrelated.

A relationship between serum polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and cardiovascular disease has been reported; however, the existence of a relationship between serum PUFAs and extent of vessel disease (VD) in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear.Between July 2011 and June 2015, 866 consecutive STEMI patients underwent emergent percutaneous coronary intervention, 507 of whom were enrolled and classified into three groups according to the initial angiograms: 1VD, 294 patients; 2VD, 110 patients; and 3VD/left main trunk disease (LMTD), 103 patients. Serum levels of PUFAs, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid, and other laboratory data during hospitalization were evaluated.The serum EPA level in the 3VD/LMTD group was significantly lower than that in the 1VD group (55.5 ± 22.1 versus 66.2 ± 28.7, P = 0.002) and was slightly lower than that in the 2VD group (55.5 ± 22.1 versus 65.2 ± 28.9, P = 0.0167). Multivariate adjustment analysis revealed that age ≥ 70 years (odds ratio, 1.72; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-2.89; P = 0.038) and a low serum EPA level (odds ratio, 0.98; 95% confidence interval, 0.99-1.00; P = 0.023) were independent risk factors for 3VD/LMTD, while a low serum DHA level was not.A low serum EPA level may be more strongly related than a low serum DHA level to the extent of VD in STEMI patients. Age ≥ 70 years and a low serum EPA level may be independent risk factors for 3VD/LMTD.

UNLABELLED: Little is known about the long-term outcomes after first-generation sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation. We aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes up to 10 years after SES implantation. METHODS: The study population comprised 342 patients (504 lesions) who underwent SES implantation between January 2002 and December 2004. The median duration of follow-up was 3816 days (interquartile range [Q1-Q3], 3,705-3,883 days). RESULTS: The cumulative event rate of definite stent thrombosis was 3.9%. The cumulative rate of target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 1, 5, and 10 years was 8.7%, 18.8%, and 31.1%, respectively, and the annual rate of TLR was 3.1%. Clinically driven TLR occurred at relatively constant rate during 10 years (2.0% per year). In a multivariate analysis, higher body mass index, hemodialysis, in-stent restenosis (ISR) target lesion, and total stent length >30 mm were independent risk factors of TLR within 5 years. An independent risk factor of TLR beyond 5 years was ISR target lesion. CONCLUSIONS: Late TLR after SES implantation is a long-term hazard, lasting up to 10 years. The ISR target lesion is a risk factor of TLR during 10 years.

Coronary perforations during chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) are potential complications and reportedly associated with adverse events. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and timing of perforations during CTO-PCI. Data from the Japanese CTO-PCI expert registry included 8,760 patients who underwent CTO-PCI between January 2014 and January 2019. The major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were defined as death, tamponade, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, and revascularization. The guidewire manipulation time was defined as the time required to cross the CTO without perforation. Among these patients, 333 (3.8%) developed perforation during the CTO crossing attempt. Of the 333 patients, 29 developed cardiac tamponades (8.7%). Perforations more frequently occurred in a retrograde wiring than in an anterograde wiring (6.6% vs 1.7%, p <0.0001). A longer guidewire manipulation time was associated with the occurrence of perforation (median 101 minutes [interquartile range 59 to 150 minutes] in the perforation group vs 54.9 minutes [interquartile range 21.1 to 112.7 minutes] in the nonperforation group, p <0.0001). Risk factors for perforation were age, history of coronary bypass graft, right coronary artery lesion, de novo lesion, use of a stiff guidewire, and guidewire manipulation time of >60 minutes during anterograde wiring and age, non-left anterior descending artery lesion, use of a polymer-jacketed guidewire, and use of epicardial channel during retrograde wiring. In conclusion, risk factors for perforation were different between anterograde and retrograde wirings. A prolonged guidewire manipulation time was associated with the occurrence of perforation, especially during anterograde wiring.
