RESUMO

Objectives: The aim of this postmarket clinical study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the latest generation polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents (PF-SES) in an all-comers population comparing outcomes in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) versus acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in France. Background: The efficacy and safety of the first-generation PF-SES have already been demonstrated by randomized controlled trials and "all-comers" observational studies. Methods: For this all-comers observational, prospective, multicenter study, 1456 patients were recruited in 22 French centers. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate at 12 months and secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and bleeding. Results: 895 patients had stable CAD and 561 had ACS. At 12 months, 2% of patients had a TLR, with similar rates between stable CAD and ACS (1.9% vs 2.2%, p = 0.7). The overall MACE rate was 5.2% with an expected higher rate in patients with ACS as compared to those with stable CAD (7.3% vs 3.9%, p = 0.007). The overall bleeding event rate was 4.5%, with similar rates in stable CAD as compared to ACS patients (3.8% vs 5.6%, p = 0.3). Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) interruptions prior to the recommended duration occurred in 41.7% of patients with no increase in MACE rates as compared to patients who did not prematurely interrupt DAPT (3.9% vs 6.1%, p = 0.073). Conclusions: The latest generation PF-SES is associated with low clinical event rates in these all-comers patients. There was a high rate of prematurely terminated DAPT, without any effect on MACE at 12 months. This trial is registered with NCT03809715.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is common in patients with diabetes mellitus. Data on the long-term outcomes after treatment of CTOs in this high-risk population are scarce. AIM: To compare the long-term clinical outcomes of CTO revascularization either by coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus optimal medical treatment (MT) alone in patients with diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 538 consecutive patients with diabetes and at least one CTO were identified from 2010 to 2014 in our center. In the present analysis, patients were stratified according to the CTO treatment strategy that was selected. MT was selected in 61% of patients whereas revascularization in the remaining 39%. Patients undergoing revascularization were younger, had higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), lower ACEF score, and more positive myocardial ischemia detection results compared to the MT group (p < .001).Patients referred for CABG had higher rates of left main disease compared to the PCI and MT groups (32% vs. 3% and 11%, respectively; p < .001). Complete revascularization was more often achieved in the CABG group, compared to the PCI group (62% vs. 32% p < .001). Multivariable analysis showed that revascularization with CABG was associated with lower rates of all-cause and cardiac mortality rates compared to MT, [hazard ratio (HR) 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.25-0.70, p < .001 and HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.20-81, p = .011, respectively]. Successful CTO-PCI showed a trend towards benefit in all-cause mortality (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.33-1.04, p = .06). CONCLUSION: In our registry, CTO revascularization in diabetic patients, especially with CABG, was associated with lower long-term mortality rates as compared to MT alone.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is common and has been related to higher mortality and major complications. No comparison between balloon-expandable (BEV) and self-expanding valves (SEV) regarding drop platelet count (DPC) has been reported to date. The objectives of this study were to analyze the differences in DPC between BEVs or SEVs and their prognostic implications in clinical outcomes. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing TAVI. Platelet counts after TAVI were collected. Two groups were created: DPC ≤ 30% and DPC > 30%. VARC-2 criteria were used to define outcomes. RESULTS: Study population was composed of 195 patients (age 77.5 ± 6.7, 57.4% males). All of them but one experienced DPC (mean DPC 31.9 ± 15.3%). DPC was significantly higher among the patients treated with BEV compared to those treated with SEV (36.3 ± 15.1% vs 27.7 ± 14.4, P < 0.001). After multivariate analysis, the use of BEV was independently associated with a higher rate of DPC > 30% (67.4% vs 36.0%; OR 3.4; 95% CI, 1.42-8.16). At 30 days, the DPC > 30% was associated with a higher rate of life-threatening/major bleeding, major vascular complications, in-hospital sepsis and mortality. At one year, there were no statistically significant differences in the mortality rate between groups (6.35% vs 10.0%, HR 1.54; 95% CI, 0.56-4.25). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the use of BEV was associated with a higher risk of DPC after TAVI. A DPC rate > 30% was associated with an increased risk of major complications at 30 days.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are present in more than one third of older patients with myocardial ischemia, but controversy remains about the best therapeutic approach. AIMS: To compare long-term survival after CTO revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] or coronary artery bypass graft [CABG]) versus medical treatment (MT) alone in patients aged 75 and older. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 1,252 consecutive patients with at least one CTO were identified from 2010 to 2014 in our center. Patients were stratified by age (<75 years vs. ≥75 years) in the present analysis. All-cause and cardiac mortality were assessed at a median follow-up of 3.5 years. In the older subgroup (26%), patients were more likely to be treated with MT alone (71% vs. 43% of younger patients; p < 0.001). Patients undergoing revascularization were younger and had higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and lower age, creatinine, ejection fraction (ACEF) score (age/LVEF +1 if creatinine >2.0 mg/dL), compared to the MT group (p < 0.05). As compared to MT, revascularization predicted lower rates of cardiac mortality and all-cause mortality in older patients, both in the subgroups treated with CABG (hazard ratio [HR] 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17-0.71; HR 0.39, 95%CI 0.18-0.81) and PCI (HR 0.57, 95%CI 0.33-0.98; HR 0.59, 95%CI 0.28-1.2). No differences in mortality were observed according to type of revascularization procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients aged at least 75 years with a CTO, revascularization (PCI or CABG) rather than MT alone may portend a better outcome in terms of all-cause and cardiac mortality.

RESUMO

Aims: The clinical value of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic coronary total occlusions (CTOs) is not established by randomized trials. This study should compare the benefit of PCI vs. optimal medical therapy (OMT) on the health status in patients with at least one CTO. Method and results: Three hundred and ninety-six patients were enrolled in a prospective randomized, multicentre, open-label, and controlled clinical trial to compare the treatment by PCI with OMT with a 2:1 randomization ratio. The primary endpoint was the change in health status assessed by the Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ) between baseline and 12 months follow-up. Fifty-two percent of patients have multi-vessel disease in whom all significant non-occlusive lesions were treated before randomization. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed including 13.4% failed procedures in the PCI group and 7.3% cross-overs in the OMT group. At 12 months, a greater improvement of SAQ subscales was observed with PCI as compared with OMT for angina frequency [5.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.75; 8.71; P = 0.003], and quality of life (6.62, 95% CI 1.78-11.46; P = 0.007), reaching the prespecified significance level of 0.01 for the primary endpoint. Physical limitation (P = 0.02) was also improved in the PCI group. Complete freedom from angina was more frequent with PCI 71.6% than OMT 57.8% (P = 0.008). There was no periprocedural death or myocardial infarction. At 12 months, major adverse cardiac events were comparable between the two groups. Conclusion: Percutaneous coronary intervention leads to a significant improvement of the health status in patients with stable angina and a CTO as compared with OMT alone. Trial registration: NCT01760083.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Thrombolysis is still used when primary angioplasty is delayed for a long time, but 25%-30% of patients require rescue angioplasty (RA). There are no established recommendations for antithrombotic management in RA. This registry analyzes regimens for antithrombotic management. METHODS: A retrospective, multicenter, observational registry of consecutive patients treated with RA at 8 hospitals. All variables were collected and follow-up took place at 6 months. RESULTS: The study included 417 patients. Antithrombotic therapy in RA was: no additional drugs 22.3%, unfractionated heparin (UFH) 36.6%, abciximab 15.5%, abciximab plus UFH 10.5%, bivalirudin 5.7%, enoxaparin 4.3%, and others 4.7%. Outcomes at 6 months were: mortality 9.1%, infarction 3.3%, definite or probable stent thrombosis 4.3%, revascularization 1.9%, and stroke 0.5%. Mortality was related to cardiogenic shock, age > 75 years, and anterior location. The stent thrombosis rate was highest with bivalirudin (12.5% at 6 months). The incidence of bleeding at admission was high (14.8%), but most cases were not severe (82% BARC ≤2). Variables independently associated with bleeding were: femoral access (OR 3.30; 95% CI 1.3-8.3: p = 0.004) and post-RA abciximab infusion (OR 2.26; 95% CI 1.02-5: p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Antithrombotic treatment regimens in RA vary greatly, predominant strategies consisting of no additional drugs or UFH 70 U/kg. No regimen proved predictive of mortality, but bivalirudin was related to more stent thrombosis. There was a high incidence of bleeding, associated with post-RA abciximab infusion and femoral access.

RESUMO

AIM: Thrombus formation is a dynamic process regulated by flow, blood cells, and plasma proteins. The present study was performed to investigate the characteristics of human coronary thrombus in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction, in which thrombectomy was performed, were included (n = 86). Intracoronary thrombi and blood from the culprit coronary site and the systemic circulation were obtained during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Thrombi were categorized by onset-of-pain-to-PCI elapsed time in thrombus of <3 (T3) and more than 6 h of evolution (T6). Clinical, morphological, and proteomic variables were investigated. While T3 were mainly composed by platelets and fibrin(ogen), T6 were characterized by a reduced platelet content, increased leucocytes infiltration (including monocytes, neutrophils, T-cells, and B-cells), and appearance of undifferentiated progenitor cells. Significant differences between T3 and T6 were found in the cell cytoskeleton-associated proteome (beta-actin and tropomyosin 3 and 4). By discovery proteomics, we have identified profilin-1 (Pfn-1) in the coronary thrombi and detected higher levels in T3 than in T6. While plasma Pfn-1 levels were low in T3 patients, levels significantly increased in both coronary and peripheral circulation in T6 patients indicating release. In vitro platelet aggregation studies showed that platelets secrete Pfn-1 upon complete activation. CONCLUSION: Coronary thrombi show rapid dynamic changes both in structure and cell composition as a function of elapsed onset-of-pain-to-PCI time. Aged ischaemic thrombi were more likely to have reduced Pfn-1 content releasing Pfn-1 to the circulation. Onset-of-pain-to-PCI elapsed time in STEMI patients and hence age of occlusive thrombus can be profiled by Pfn-1 levels found in the peripheral circulation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It is unknown if lack of polymer can provoke a different edge response in drug-eluting stents. The aim of this study was to compare edge vascular response between polymer-free paclitaxel-eluting stent (PF-PES) and polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting stents (PB-PES). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 165 eligible patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were prospectively randomized 1:1 to receive either PF-PES or PB-PES. Those patients with paired intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) after procedure and at 9-month follow-up were included in this analysis.Seventy-six patients with 84 lesions, divided into PB-PES (38 patients, 41 lesions) and PF-PES groups (38 patients, 43 lesions) had paired post-procedure and 9-month follow-up IVUS and were therefore included in this substudy. There was a significant lumen decrease at the proximal edge of PF-PES (from 9.02±3.06 mm(2)to 8.47±3.05 mm(2); P=0.040), and a significant plaque increase at the distal edges of PF-PES (from 4.39±2.73 mm(2)to 4.78±2.63 mm(2); P=0.004). At the distal edge there was a significant plaque increase in the PF-PES compared to PB-PES (+8.0% vs. -0.6%, respectively; P=0.015) with subsequent lumen reduction (-5.2% vs. +6.0%, respectively; P=0.024). CONCLUSIONS: PF-PES had significant plaque increase and lumen reduction at the distal edge as compared to PB-PES, probably due to difference in polymer-based drug-release kinetics between the 2 platforms.

RESUMO

Gastrointestinal bleeding of obscure origin or with an intractable cause is particularly common in patients with atrial fibrillation subject to oral anticoagulant therapy. This condition is highly recurrent and therefore gives rise to high morbidity and mortality rates, thus entailing a vicious cycle that is difficult to solve.Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure has become a therapeutic alternative for patients with atrial fibrillation and a contraindication for oral anticoagulation. This technique would allow the discontinuation of oral anticoagulants, thus helping to reduce the risk for gastrointestinal bleeding, and would also be protective against embolic events in this group of patients, thereby eventually breaking this vicious cycle.We report our experience with percutaneous left atrial appendage closure in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation who are subject to oral anticoagulation therapy and suffer from obscure or intractable gastrointestinal bleeding.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Everolimus-eluting stent (EES) reduces the risk of restenosis in elective percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the use of drug-eluting stent in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is still controversial. Data regarding the performance of second-generation EES in this setting are scarce. We report the 1-year result of the EXAMINATION (clinical Evaluation of the Xience-V stent in Acute Myocardial INfArcTION) trial, comparing EES with bare-metal stents (BMS) in patients with STEMI. METHODS: This multicentre, prospective, randomised, all-comer controlled trial was done in 12 medical centres in three countries. Between Dec 31, 2008, and May 15, 2010, we recruited patients with STEMI up to 48 h after the onset of symptoms requiring emergent percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients were randomly assigned (ratio 1:1) to receive EES or BMS. Randomisation was in blocks of four or six patients, stratified by centre and centralised by telephone. Patients were masked to treatment. The primary endpoint was the patient-oriented combined endpoint of all-cause death, any recurrent myocardial infarction, and any revascularisation at 1 year and was analysed by intention to treat. The secondary endpoints of the study included the device-oriented combined endpoint of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularisation, and rates of all cause or cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, target lesion or target vessel revascularisation, stent thrombosis, device and procedure success, and major and minor bleeding. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00828087. FINDINGS: Of the 1504 patients randomised, 1498 patients were randomly assigned to receive EES (n=751) or BMS (n=747). The primary endpoint was similar in both groups (89 [11·9%] of 751 patients in the EES group vs 106 [14·2%] of 747 patients in the BMS group; difference -2·34 [95% CI -5·75 to 1·07]; p=0·19). Device-oriented endpoint (44 [5·9%] in the EES group vs 63 [8·4%] in the BMS group; difference -2·57 [95% CI -5·18 to 0·03]; p=0·05) did not differ between groups, although rates of target lesion and vessel revascularisation were significantly lower in the EES group (16 [2·1%] vs 37 [5·0%], p=0·003, and 28 [3·7%] vs 51 [6·8%], p=0·0077, respectively). Rates of all cause (26 [3·5%] for EES vs 26 [3·5%] for BMS, p=1·00) or cardiac death (24 [3·2%] for EES vs 21 [2·8%] for BMS, p=0·76) or myocardial infarction (10 [1·3%] vs 15 [2·0%], p=0·32) did not differ between groups. Stent thrombosis rates were significantly lower in the EES group (4 [0·5%] patients with definite stent thrombosis in the EES group vs 14 [1·9%] in the BMS group and seven [0·9%] patients with definite or probable stent thrombosis in the EES group vs 19 [2·5%] in the BMS group, both p=0·019). Although device success rate was similar between groups, procedure success rate was significantly higher in the EES group (731 [97·5%] vs 705 [94·6%]; p=0·0050). Finally, Bleeding rates at 1 year were comparable between groups (29 [3·9%] patients in the EES group vs 39 [5·2%] in the BMS group; p=0·19). INTERPRETATION: The use of EES compared with BMS in the setting of STEMI did not lower the patient-oriented endpoint. However, at the stent level both rates of target lesion revascularisation and stent thrombosis were reduced in recipients of EES. FUNDING: Spanish Heart Foundation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI) caused by proximal left-anterior descending (LAD) lesions have more myocardium at risk and worse outcomes than those located in other segments. The aim is to compare outcomes of patients with STEMI and proximal-LAD lesions treated with bare-metal stents (BMS) versus everolimus-eluting stents (EES). METHODS: The EXAMINATION trial randomized 1498 STEMI patients to BMS versus EES. The primary end point was the patient-oriented combined of all-cause death, any-recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and any-revascularization. The secondary end point included the device-oriented combined of cardiac death, target-vessel MI and target-lesion revascularization (TLR). RESULTS: STEMI with a proximal-LAD occlusion was observed in 290 patients (BMS = 132 and EES = 158). Both groups were similar except for diabetes (12.9% vs 24.1%; P = .016). At 1 year, the primary end point was observed in 18.9% and 9.5% of patients treated with BMS and EES, respectively (P = .023). The secondary end point was observed in 11.4% and 5.1%, respectively (P = .053). There were no differences in cardiac death (4.5% vs 3.8%; P = .750) and MI (1.5% vs 0%; P = .121). BMS had higher rate of TLR compared to EES (6.8% vs 1.3%; P = .014). Patients with proximal-LAD STEMI had higher mortality than patients with non proximal-LAD STEMI (5.5% vs 2.9%; P = .027). Proximal-LAD lesions treated with BMS tended to increase the risk of the primary end point compared with other segments (18.9% vs 13.0%; P = .079). However, EES implanted in proximal-LAD had similar outcomes compared with other locations (9.5% vs 12.0%; P = .430). Adjusting for confounders, the interaction between BMS and proximal-LAD location was associated with the primary end point. CONCLUSION: Patients with STEMI and proximal-LAD lesions treated with EES have better outcomes compared with BMS at 1 year. Although further investigations are required, it seems reasonable to consider EES for proximal-LAD STEMI-lesions.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to compare the vascular healing process between the sirolimus-eluting NEVO and the everolimus-eluting Xience stent by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 1-year follow-up. BACKGROUND: Presence of durable polymer on a drug-eluting metallic stent may be the basis of an inflammatory reaction with abnormal healing response. The NEVO stent, having a bioresorbable polymer eluted by reservoir technology, may overcome this problem. METHODS: All consecutive patients, who received NEVO or Xience stent implantation between September 2010 and October 2010 in our institution, were included. Vascular healing was assessed at 1-year as percentage of uncovered struts, neointimal thickness (NIT), in-stent/stent area obstruction and pattern of neointima. RESULTS: A total 47 patients (2:1 randomization, n = 32 NEVO, n = 15 Xience) were included. Eighteen patients underwent angiographic follow-up (eight patients with nine lesions for NEVO vs. 10 patients with 11 lesions for Xience). The angiographic late loss was numerically higher but not statistically different in NEVO compared with Xience treated lesions (0.38 ± 0.47 mm vs. 0.18 ± 0.27 mm; P = 0.171). OCT analysis of 4,912 struts demonstrated similar rates of uncovered struts (0.5 vs. 0.7%, P = 0.462), higher mean NIT (177.76 ± 87.76 µm vs. 132.22 ± 30.91 µm; P = 0.170) and in stent/stent area obstruction (23.02 ± 14.74% vs. 14.17 ± 5.94%, P = 0.120) in the NEVO as compared with Xience. CONCLUSION: The NEVO stent with a reservoir technology seems to exhibit more neointimal proliferation as compared to Xience stent. The findings of our study, which currently represent the unique data existing on this reservoir technology, would need to be confirmed in a large population.

RESUMO

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the treatment of choice for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in inoperable patients, and an alternative treatment for those at high risk. The coexistence of coronary artery disease (CAD) adds morbidity and mortality to the procedure. Prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been suggested as safe and related to a better prognosis. However, PCI in the left main coronary artery (LMCA) prior to TAVI has been poorly represented in clinical trials and scarcely reported. Herein are presented three cases of a successful sequential approach by LMCA stenting and TAVI, underlining the importance of clinical and anatomic assessment by a multidisciplinary team. Future studies will be necessary to provide more evidence for this indication.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) improves clinical symptoms and quality of life. The longer-term safety of PCI compared to optimal medical therapy (OMT) remains uncertain. AIMS: We sought to evaluate the long-term safety of PCI for CTO in a randomised trial as compared to OMT. METHODS: A total of 396 patients with a symptomatic CTO were enrolled into a randomised, multicentre clinical trial comparing PCI and OMT. Half of the patients had a single CTO; the others had multivessel disease. Non-CTO lesions were treated prior to randomisation (2:1 ratio). During follow-up, crossover from OMT to PCI occurred in 7.3% (1 year) and 17.5% (3 years) of patients. RESULTS: At 3 years, the incidence of cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction was not significantly different between the groups (OMT 3.7% vs PCI 6.2%; p=0.29). By per-protocol analysis, the difference remained non-significant (OMT 5.7% vs PCI 4.7%; p=0.67). Overall, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were more frequent with OMT (OMT 21.2% vs PCI 11.2%), largely because of ischaemia-driven revascularisation. The rates of stroke or hospitalisation for bleeding were not different between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: At 3 years there was no difference in the rate of cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction between PCI or OMT among patients with a remaining single coronary CTO. The MACE rate was higher in the OMT group due largely to ischaemia-driven revascularisation. CTO PCI appears to be a safe option for patients with a single remaining significant coronary CTO.

RESUMO

We describe the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with chest pain and ST-segment elevation in the anterior precordial leads (V1-V5) due to proximal occlusion of the right ventricular branch of a codominant right coronary artery. Primary coronary angioplasty and stenting of this branch was performed resulting in resolution of the chest pain and ST-segment elevation. Our description illustrates a case of isolated right ventricular infarction as an uncommon but important differential diagnosis of anterior ST-segment elevation. In addition, it highlights the value of careful review of the angiographic images in this context, as the culprit lesion may be a right ventricular branch occlusion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of primary percutaneous coronary intervention treatment of a right ventricular branch occlusion causing isolated acute right ventricular myocardial infarction and anterior ST-segment elevation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Data on the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on clinical outcomes in chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients is scarce, and the optimal treatment strategy for this population is not well established. This study aims to compare differences in CTO management and long-term clinical outcomes, including all-cause and cardiac mortalities, according to baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR). METHODS: All patients with at least one CTO diagnosed in our center between 2010 and 2014 were included. Demographic and clinical data were registered. All-cause and cardiac mortalities were assessed during a median follow-up of 4.03 years (IQR 2.6-4.8). Clinical outcomes were compared between patients with CKD (GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and without CKD (GFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2). RESULTS: A total of 1248 patients (67.3 ± 10.9 years; 32% CKD) were identified. CKD patients were older and had a higher prevalence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, and severe left ventricular dysfunction compared to patients with normal renal function (p < 0.05). Subjects with renal dysfunction were more often treated with MT alone, compared to patients without CKD (63% vs 45%; p < 0.001), who were more likely to undergo PCI or surgery. During follow-up, 386 patients [31%] died. CKD patients had a higher rate of all-cause and cardiac mortalities compared to patients without CKD (p < 0.001). The independent predictors for all-cause mortality were age, GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, Syntax Score I, and successful revascularization of the CTO (CABG or PCI-CTO). Among patients with CKD, advanced age, eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, and CTO successful revascularization were predictors of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CKD were more often treated with MT alone. At long-term follow-up, revascularization of the CTO is associated with lower all-cause and cardiac mortalities in this population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Predictors of antiplatelet therapy discontinuation (ATD) during the first year after drug-eluting stent implantation are poorly known. METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a prospective study with 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-up of patients receiving at least 1 drug-eluting stent between January and April 2008 in 29 hospitals. Individual- and hospital-level predictors of ATD were assessed by hierarchical-multinomial regression analysis. ATD could be assessed in 1622 candidates for follow-up (82.5%). A total of 234 patients (14.4%) interrupted at least 1 antiplatelet therapy drug, predominantly clopidogrel (n=182, 11.8%). Bleeding events or invasive procedures led to ATD in 109 patients. This was predicted by renal impairment (odds ratio [OR] 2.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.48 to 5.34), prior major hemorrhage (OR 3.77, 95% CI 1.41 to 10.03), and peripheral arterial disease (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.01 to 3.15). Medical decisions led to ATD in 70 patients; this was predicted by long-term use of anticoagulant therapy (OR 3.88, 95% CI 1.26 to 11.98), undergoing the procedure in a private hospital (OR 13.3, 95% CI 1.69 to 105), and not receiving instructions about medication (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.23 to 6.36). Thirty-nine patients interrupted ATD on their own initiative, mainly immigrants (OR 3.78, 95% CI 1.2 to 11.98) and consumers of psychotropic drugs (OR 2.58, 95% CI 1.3 to 5.12). CONCLUSIONS: ATD during the first year after drug-eluting stent implantation is based mainly on patient decision or a medical decision not associated with major bleeding events or major surgical procedures. Individual- and hospital-level variables are important to predict ATD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is common among patients with coronary artery disease. Very few studies have focused on outcomes of patients with CTO and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), according to treatment applied. The aim of our study was to determine the potential influence of the selected treatment on the prognosis in patients with CTO associated with reduced LVEF. METHODS: Between June 2010 and October 2013, all consecutive patients with at least one CTO and reduced LVEF (<40%) were enrolled. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiac mortality or myocardial infarction (MI) and its individual components, were compared between three treatment groups: medical therapy (MT), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary bypass graft (CABG). RESULTS: In 256 included patients, the follow-up was 1129 ± 556 days. The incidence of MACE was 40% in the MT group, compared with PCI (20.3%) and CABG (16.7%); p < 0.001. All-cause and cardiac mortality were also higher in the MT group (40.7% and 33.3%, respectively) versus the PCI (21.9% and 15.6%) and CABG (11.9% and 9.5%) groups (p < 0.001 for both endpoints); MI rate did not differ among groups. In the adjusted multivariate analysis, CABG had lower MACE risk, compared with MT (HR = 0.39, 0.17-0.91; p = 0.029); successful PCI also trended toward lower risk of MACE, compared with MT. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CTO and reduced LVEF treated with MT had a worse prognosis than those treated with revascularization (either CABG or PCI). Patients with an indication for CABG appeared to perform best during long-term follow-up.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have theoretical advantages over drug-eluting stents (DESs) to facilitate stent healing. We studied whether, in patients undergoing primary coronary interventions (pPCIs), a strategy of DCB after bare-metal stent improves early healing as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) compared with new-generation DES. METHODS: pPCI patients were randomized (1:1) to treatment with new-generation sirolimus-eluting stents (DES group) or DCB-strategy. Vessel healing was assessed by OCT at 90 days. RESULTS: Fifty-three patients were randomized (26 DES vs. 27 DCB). At 90 days, both strategies showed a low rate of uncovered struts (3.2 vs. 3.2%, P = 0.64) and a very high and similar rate of covered and apposed struts (96.6 vs. 96.1%, respectively; P = 0.58). However, DCB group had a significantly lower rate of major coronary evaginations (68 vs. 37%, P = 0.026), and more frequently developed a thin homogeneous neointimal layer (20 vs. 70.4%, P = 0.001) suggesting distinct superior healing at 3 months compared to DES. CONCLUSIONS: In pPCI both, sirolimus-DES and DCB-strategy, provide excellent strut coverage at 3 months. However, DCB ensures more advanced and optimal stent healing compared to sirolimus-DES. Further research is needed to determine whether, in patients undergoing pPCI, DCB offers superior long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes than new-generation DES (NCT03610347).
