RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study investigates the prognostic impact of body mass index (BMI) on the risk of 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). Due to ongoing epidemiological developments, the characteristics of patients with cardiovascular disease are consistently changing. Especially increasing rates of obesity and associated comorbidities have been observed. However, data regarding the prognostic value of BMI in patients with CS remains inconclusive. METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecutive patients with CS were included from 2019 to 2021. The prognostic value of BMI (i.e., BMI 18.5-<25; 25-30 and >30 kg/m2) was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional regression analyses regarding the primary endpoint of 30-day all-cause mortality. Additional risk stratification was performed based on the presence or absence of CS related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). 256 patients with a median BMI of 26.4 kg/m2 were included. The overall risk of 30-day all-cause mortality was 53.5%. Within the entire study cohort, BMI was not associated with the risk of 30-day all-cause mortality (log rank p ≥ 0.107). In contrast, BMI >30 kg/m2 was associated with higher risk of 30-day all-cause mortality when compared to BMI <25 kg/m2 in patients with AMI-CS (78% vs 47%; log rank p = 0.017), which was confirmed after multivariable adjustment (HR = 2.466; 95% CI 1.126-5.399; p = 0.024). However, BMI was not associated with mortality in patients with non-AMI-CS. CONCLUSION: BMI >30 kg/m2 was associated with increased risk of 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with AMI-CS, but not in non-AMI-CS.

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery perforation is one of the most feared and common complications of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: To assess the usefulness of the recently developed PROGRESS-CTO (NCT02061436) perforation risk score in independent cohorts. Individual patient-level data pooled analysis of three registries was performed. RESULTS: Of the 4566 patients who underwent CTO PCI at 25 centers, 196 (4.2%) had coronary artery perforation. Patients with perforations were older (69 ± 10 vs. 65 ± 10, p < 0.001), more likely to be women (19% vs. 13%, p = 0.009), more likely to have a history of prior coronary artery bypass graft (34% vs. 20%, p < 0.001), and unfavorable angiographic characteristics such as blunt stump (62% vs. 48%, p < 0.001), proximal cap ambiguity (52% vs. 34%, p < 0.001), and moderate-severe calcification (60% vs. 49%, p = 0.002). Technical success was lower in patients with perforations (73% vs. 88%, p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the PROGRESS-CTO perforation risk model was 0.76 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72-0.79), with good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow p = 0.97). We found that the CTO PCI perforation risk increased with higher PROGRESS-CTO perforation scores: 0.3% (score 0), 2.3% (score 1), 3.1% (score 2), 5.5% (score 3), 7.5% (score 4), 14.6% (score 5). CONCLUSION: Given the good discriminative performance, calibration, and the ease of calculation, the PROGRESS-CTO perforation score may facilitate assessment of the risk of perforation in patients undergoing CTO PCI.
RESUMO
The aim of this study was to investigate the biological outcomes of bone-level implants restored with long vs. short abutments, with regard to the 'one abutment at one time' protocol. The systematic search was performed in five databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and CENTRAL for randomized controlled trials up to January 14, 2023. Data were collected for marginal bone loss, bleeding on probing, and probing pocket depth by two reviewers. As effect size measure, mean difference (MD), and risk ratio (RR) were used for continuous and categorical outcomes, R-statistics software was used for conducting statistical analyses. For quality and certainty assessment, Risk of Bias Tool 2, ROBINS-I, and GRADE approach were used. The search resulted in 4055 records without any duplicates. After title, abstract, and full-text analysis, eight articles were found eligible for inclusion. Bone-level and platform-switched implants presented less marginal bone loss after 6 months and 1 year as well, when long abutments were used (MD 0.63, 95% CI: [-0.16; 1.42]) and (MD 0.26, 95% CI: [-0.02; 0.53]). However, subgroup analysis revealed no difference in marginal bone loss when applying 'one abutment at one time' protocol (p = 0.973). Bleeding on probing and probing pocket depth presented similarly good results in both groups without almost any differences (RR 0.97, 95% CI: [0.76; 1.23]) and (MD -0.05, 95% CI: [-1.11; 1.01]). Longer abutments on bone-level implants seem to be a favorable choice for decreasing early marginal bone loss, irrespective of connection timing.
RESUMO
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Technical complication rates of standard metal-ceramic implant-supported posterior restorations are relatively high. Whether monolithic zirconia crowns represent a more successful alternative is unclear. PURPOSE: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the clinical outcomes of posterior monolithic zirconia and metal-ceramic implant-supported single crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A search was conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and CENTRAL databases for randomized controlled trials up to April 2023 with a follow-up time of at least 1 year. Restoration and implant survival and failure rates, marginal bone loss (MBL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and technical complications were analyzed by 2 reviewers. Statistical analyses were conducted using the R-statistics software program. The risk of bias was assessed by the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2 (RoB 2), and the certainty of evidence by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. RESULTS: A total of 11 out of 2030 records were identified by title and abstract, and 4 records were included after full-text analysis. The statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in MBL (MD -0.11, 95% CI: [-0.25; 0.03]), BOP (OR 0.66, 95% CI: [0.25; 1.77]), or implant failure (OR 1.30, 95% CI: [0.24; 7.08]). Monolithic zirconia presented significantly less chipping over 1 year (OR 0.17, 95% CI: [0.03; 0.99]). The chipping rate was 0% for monolithic zirconia and 7.61% for metal-ceramic. Based on a narrative review, the restoration survival rate was 97.5% in the monolithic zirconia group and 99.1% in the metal-ceramic group. CONCLUSIONS: Monolithic zirconia showed favorable short-term survival rates and had significantly less chipping over 1 year. Regarding MBL, BOP, and failure rates, both restoration types presented similar results at the 1-year follow-up.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The gold standard method for diagnosing oral halitosis is the subjective organoleptic measurement. Device-supported methods are also widespread worldwide. The challenges and safety concerns around performing organoleptic measurements during pandemics and the diversity of measuring device alternatives raised our clinical question: which halitometer is the most suitable for diagnosing halitosis? METHODS: This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (ID CRD42022320024). The search was performed on March 23, 2022 in the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL. Adult populations with or without halitosis were included, and patients with systemic diseases were excluded. Organoleptic (subjective) measurement and the device-supported (objective) methods were compared; the primary outcome was the correlation coefficient, and the secondary was the specificity and sensitivity of the devices. QUADAS-2 and QUADAS-C were used to evaluate the risk of bias in the studies. Random-effects meta analyses were performed on the outcomes, and the secondary outcomes were plotted on a common ROC plot. RESULTS: A total of 1231 records were found in the 5 databases. After the selection process, 76 articles were eligible for the systematic review, and 14,635 patients were involved in the qualitative analysis. The pooled Spearman's correlation coefficient (c.c.) for sulfide monitors was 0.65; 95% CIs: [0.53-0.74]; I2â¯=â¯95%, P < .01. The pooled Spearman's c.c. for portable gas chromatographs was 0.69; 95% CIs: [0.63-0.74]; I2â¯=â¯12%, P < .01. The pooled Spearman's c.c. for gas chromatographs was 0.76; 95% CIs: [0.67-0.83]; I2â¯=â¯0%, P < .01. DISCUSSION: None of the most commonly used halitometers proved to be significantly superior to the others. Halimeter and OralChroma measurements did not correlate well with the organoleptic level of oral halitosis in adults. Therefore, better halitometers need to be developed as an alternative to organoleptic measurements.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility and safety of same day discharge (SDD) after chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND: CTO PCI has been associated with higher complication rates and procedural and hospitalization costs. Shortening post-PCI hospitalization length not only increases the patients' comfort but at the same time it consists an important part of cost reduction policies. METHODS: We retrospectively compared the 30-day outcomes of patients who underwent CTO PCI at the Red Cross Hospital, Greece between January 2016 and June 2019 and underwent SDD versus non-SDD. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction, urgent repeat target vessel revascularization, tamponade, and stroke. RESULTS: A total of 173 patients (mean age 63.7 ± 8.9 years) were included, of whom 51 (30%) underwent SDD. SDD patients were less likely to have diabetes mellitus (51 vs. 31%, p = .015), arterial hypertension (89 vs. 67%, p < .001), and acute coronary syndrome presentation (39.7 vs. 21.6%, p = .022), compared with non-SDD patients. Forearm access was used in all SDD patients and in 83% of the non-SDD patients. The 30-day incidence of MACE was 0% in the SDD group and 1.6% in the non-SDD group. Multivariable analysis showed that diabetes mellitus and longer procedural time were associated with lower probability of SDD (OR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.73 and OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.12, 0.71, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: SDD appears to be feasible and safe in selected patients undergoing an uncomplicated CTO PCI through forearm approach.

BACKGROUND: The shrinkage of alveolar bone dimensions after tooth extraction is a well-known issue. This clinical phenomenon poses a challenge for clinicians aiming at implant-prosthetic treatment. BonMaker® ATB is a novel autogenous bone grafting material, produced by the mechanical and chemical processing of natural teeth. This pilot case report aims at providing a clinical, radiographical, and histological evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Bonmaker ATB powder in the treatment of EDS class 3-4 postextraction sockets with alveolar ridge preservation. METHODS: A total of 9 teeth were extracted from 5 patients. The extracted teeth were prepared immediately with the Bonmaker® device. The extraction sockets were filled up with ATB powder. Six months after extraction, standardized intraoral x-rays and CBCT scans were performed. Re-entry was performed under local anaesthesia. Core biopsies were harvested for histological analysis and implants were placed. RESULTS: Horizontal alveolar dimension loss occurred, even though ARP was performed, but the horizontal shrinkage was moderate. Vertical dimensions did not show loss of volume, but increased defect fill. Core biopsies showed ATB particles surrounded by newly formed bone and connective tissue. According to histomorphometric analysis, the harvested samples contained 56% of newly formed bone on average, and only a mean of 7% of non-remodelled ATB material was observed. CONCLUSION: The preliminary clinical, radiographical, and histological results of Bonmaker® autogenous tooth graft therapy indicate that ATB may be safely and successfully used as a grafting material for ARP. Optimal graft incorporation and histologically proven effective remodelling, as well as uneventful wound healing support the clinical application of ATB to minimize post-extraction hard tissue loss. Further research is needed to exploit the full potential of ATB and to evaluate the long-term peri-implant hard and soft tissue stability of ATB-treated post-extraction sites.

The standard treatment for large vessel coronary perforations is implantation of a covered stent. Antegrade attempts for crossing a right coronary artery chronic total occlusion resulted in guidewire and microcatheter exit with pericardial bleeding. A balloon was inflated proximal to the perforation site to achieve temporary hemostasis. Retrograde crossing of the chronic total occlusion was achieved through an epicardial collateral using the reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking technique. Stent implantation resulted in hemostasis, likely due to creation of a subintimal flap that sealed the perforation site. If technically feasible, subintimal recanalization can be an alternative treatment strategy for coronary perforations occurring during chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention.

Percutaneous coronary intervention of saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions can be challenging due to high risk for acute and long-term complications. Treating the corresponding native coronary artery lesion(s) is preferable, but may not be feasible in the acute setting, due to high technical difficulty, especially when the native coronary lesion is a chronic total occlusion (CTO). We describe a novel concept of "staged revascularization" in patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome due to SVG failure, whose native coronary artery supplied by the SVG has a CTO. In the first stage, the culprit SVG lesion is treated restoring flow to the supplied myocardium and minimizing the extent of myocardial injury. During the second stage (typically few weeks later), revascularization of the corresponding native coronary artery lesion(s) is performed, often using the initially treated SVG for retrograde crossing of the native coronary artery CTO. We describe two cases of non-ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction due to SVG failure that were treated with "staged revascularization": the culprit SVG was initially treated followed by staged revascularization of the corresponding native coronary artery CTO. Staged revascularization of SVG lesions causing acute coronary syndromes may allow optimization of both acute and long-term outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: We examined the contemporary incidence, types, predictors, angiographic characteristics, management and outcomes of coronary perforation. BACKGROUND: Coronary perforation is a rare, but important, complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). There is lack of data on perforations stratified as large and distal vessel perforations. METHODS: Retrospective, observational cohort study of all patients who underwent PCI at a high volume, tertiary hospital between the years 2009 and 2016. Angiograms of all coronary perforation cases were reviewed to determine the mechanism, type, and management of perforation. Risk-adjusted periprocedural complication rates were compared between patients with and without coronary perforation. One-year mortality outcomes of patients with large vessel vs. distal vessel perforation were also examined. RESULTS: Coronary perforation occurred in 68 of 13,339 PCIs (0.51%) performed during the study period: 51 (75%) were large vessel perforations and 17 (25%) distal vessel perforations. Most (67%) large vessel perforations were due to balloon/stent inflation, whereas most (94%) distal vessel perforations were due to guidewire exit. Patients with coronary perforations had significantly higher risk for periprocedural complications (adjusted odds ratio 7.57; 95% CI: 4.22-13.50; P < 0.001). Only one patient with large vessel perforation required emergency cardiac surgery, yet in-hospital mortality was high with both large vessel (7.8%) and distal vessel (11.8%) perforations. CONCLUSIONS: Coronary perforation is an infrequent, but potentially severe PCI complication. Most coronary perforations are large vessel perforations. Although coronary perforations rarely lead to emergency cardiac surgery, both distal vessel and large vessel perforations are associated with high in-hospital mortality, highlighting the importance of prevention.

Antegrade dissection re-entry is often discouraged for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) with a bifurcation at the distal cap due to risk of side branch occlusion that can lead to periprocedural myocardial infarction and incomplete revascularization. Antegrade dissection re-entry, however, is often needed, especially in complex cases. We present the novel "double Stingray technique" for CTOs involving bifurcations, in which the Stingray system is used twice for re-entry into both vessel branches, followed by two-stent bifurcation stenting to maintain the patency of both branches.

The burden and impact of sleep deprivation on both patient care and on the health of interventional cardiologists is not well understood. Due to the nature of emergent procedures occurring in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, interventionalists are prone to suffer from acute and/or chronic sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation has been associated with numerous adverse effects, such as impaired performance, cognitive deficits, reduced psychomotor vigilance, and workplace errors and injuries, among many others. Although sleep deprivation has been linked to more errors in trainees, there is paucity of data addressing outcomes in interventional cardiology. The purpose of this overview is to explore the possible impact of sleep deprivation on interventional cardiology in relation to patient care and physician health, and examine potential approaches to this issue.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence, treatment and outcomes of balloon undilatable chronic total occlusions (CTOs) have received limited study. METHODS: We examined the prevalence, clinical and angiographic characteristics, and procedural outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for balloon undilatable CTOs in a contemporary multicenter US registry. RESULTS: Between 2012 and 2017 data on balloon undilatable lesions were available for 425 consecutive CTO PCIs in 415 patients in whom guidewire crossing was successful: 52 of 425 CTOs were balloon undilatable (12%). Mean patient age was 65 ± 10 years and most patients were men (84%). Patients with balloon undilatable CTOs were more likely to be diabetic (67 vs. 41%, P < 0.001) and have heart failure (44 vs. 28%, P = 0.027). Balloon undilatable CTOs were longer (40 mm [interquartile range, IQR 20-50] vs. 30 [IQR 15-40], P = 0.016), more likely to have moderate/severe calcification (87 vs. 54%, P < 0.001), and had higher J-CTO score (3.2 ± 1.1 vs. 2.5 ± 1.3, P < 0.001) and PROGRESS-CTO complications score (3.9 ± 1.7 vs. 3.1 ± 2.0, P < 0.005). They were associated with lower technical and procedural success (92 vs. 98%, P = 0.024; and 88 vs. 96%, P = 0.034, respectively) and higher risk for in-hospital major adverse events (8 vs. 2%, P = 0.008) due to higher perforation rates. The most frequent treatments for balloon undilatable CTOs were high pressure balloon inflations (64%), rotational atherectomy (31%), laser (21%), and cutting balloons (15%). CONCLUSIONS: Balloon undilatable CTOs are common and are associated with lower success and higher complication rates.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the outcomes of subadventitial stenting (SS) around occluded stents for recanalizing in-stent chronic total occlusions (IS-CTOs). BACKGROUND: There is little evidence on the outcomes of SS for IS-CTO. METHODS: We examined the outcomes of SS for IS-CTO PCI at 14 centers between July 2011 and June 2017, and compared them to historical controls recanalized using within-stent stenting (WSS). Target-vessel failure (TVF) on follow-up was the endpoint of this study, and was defined as a composite of cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, and target-vessel revascularization. RESULTS: During study period, 422 IS-CTO PCIs were performed, of which 32 (7.6%) were recanalized with SS, usually when conventional approaches failed. The most frequent CTO vessel was the right coronary artery (72%). Mean J-CTO score was 3.1 ± 0.9. SS was antegrade in 53%, and retrograde in 47%. Part of the occluded stent was crushed in 37%, while the whole stent was crushed in 63%. Intravascular imaging was used in 59%. One patient (3.1%) suffered tamponade. Angiographic follow-up was performed in 10/32 patients: stents were patent in six cases, one had mild neointimal hyperplasia, and three had severe restenosis at the SS site. Clinical follow-up was available for 29/32 patients for a mean of 388 ± 303 days. The 24-month incidence of TVF was 13.8%, which was similar to historical controls treated with WSS (19.5%, P = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS: SS is rarely performed, usually as last resort, to recanalize complex IS-CTOs. It is associated with favorable acute and mid-term outcomes, but given the small sample size of our study additional research is warranted.

BACKGROUND: We sought to examine the impact of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on left ventricular (LV) function. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published between January 1980 and November 2017 on the impact of successful CTO PCI on LV function. RESULTS: A total of 34 observational studies including 2735 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Over a weighted mean follow-up of 7.9 months, successful CTO PCI was associated with an increase in LV ejection fraction by 3.8% (95%CI 3.0-4.7, P < 0.0001, I2 = 45%). In secondary analysis of 15 studies (1248 patients) that defined CTOs as occlusions of at least 3-month duration and reported follow-up of at least 3-months after the procedure, successful CTO PCI was associated with improvement in LV ejection fraction by 4.3% (95%CI [3.1, 5.6], P < 0.0001). In the 10 studies (502 patients) that reported LV end-systolic volume, successful CTO PCI was associated with a decrease in LV end-systolic volume by 4 mL, (95%CI -6.0 to -2.1, P < 0.0001, I2 = 0%). LV end-diastolic volume was reported in 9 studies with 403 patients and did not significantly change after successful CTO PCI (-2.3 mL, 95%CI -5.7 to 1.2 mL, P = 0.19, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSIONS: Successful CTO PCI is associated with a statistically significant improvement in LV ejection fraction and decrease in LV end-systolic volume, that may reflect a beneficial effect of CTO recanalization on LV remodeling. The clinical implications of these findings warrant further investigation.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize novel techniques and developments in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). RECENT FINDINGS: Using an algorithmic, step-by-step approach can help overcome several complex CTO lesions subsets, such as proximal cap ambiguity, ostial location, in-stent occlusion, bifurcations, balloon uncrossable and undilatable lesions. Similarly, an algorithmic approach can help prevent and optimally treat CTO PCI-related complication, such as perforation, radiation, and contrast-induced nephropathy. Continual update and reassessment of each operator's algorithm for performing CTO PCI can lead to improved outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The prognostic impact of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in patients undergoing chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains underestimated. METHODS: We examined 2707 consecutive procedures performed in a referral CTO center between 2015 and 2019. CA-AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or ≥ 50% within 48 h post-PCI. Primary endpoints were in-hospital major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, stroke) and at one year of follow-up. RESULTS: The overall incidence of CA-AKI was 11.5%. Technical success was comparable (87.2% vs. 90.5%, p = 0.056) whereas procedural success was lower in the CA-AKI group (84.3% vs. 89.7%, p = 0.004). Overall in-hospital MACCE was 1.3%, and it was similar in patients with and without CA-AKI (1.6% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.655); however, the rate of pericardial tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis was significantly higher in patients with CA-AKI (2.2% vs. 0.5%, p = 0.001). In multivariate analysis, CA-AKI was not independently associated with higher risk for in-hospital MACCE (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.34, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.45-3.19, p = 0.563). At a median follow-up time of 14 months (interquartile range [IQR], 11 to 35 months), one-year MACCE was significantly higher in patients with vs. without CA-AKI (20.8% vs. 12.8%, p < 0.001), and CA-AKI increased the risk for one-year MACCE (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.46, 95% CI 1.07-1.95, p = 0.017) following CTO PCI. CONCLUSIONS: CA-AKI in patients undergoing CTO PCI occurs in approximately one out of 10 patients. Our study highlights that patients developing CA-AKI are at increased risk for long-term MACCE.

OBJECTIVE: The study investigates the prognostic impact of cardiogenic shock (CS) stratified by the presence or absence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND: Intensive care unit (ICU) related mortality in CS patients remains unacceptably high despite improvement concerning the treatment of CS patients. METHODS: Consecutive patients with CS from 2019 to 2021 were included monocentrically. The prognostic impact of CS related to AMI was compared to patients without AMI-related CS. The primary endpoint was 30-day all-cause mortality. Statistical analyses included Kaplan-Meier analyses, multivariable Cox proportional regression analyses and propensity score matching. RESULTS: 273 CS patients were included (AMI-related CS: 49%; non-AMI-related CS: 51%). The risk of 30-day all-cause mortality was increased in patients with AMI-related CS (64% vs. 47%; HR = 1.653; 95% CI 1.199-2.281; p = 0.002), which was still observed after multivariable adjustment (HR = 1.696; 95% CI 1.153-2.494; p = 0.007). Even after propensity score matching (i.e., 87 matched pairs), AMI was still an independent predictor of 30-day mortality (HR = 1.524; 95% CI 1.020-2.276; p = 0.040). In contrast, non-ST-segment AMI (NSTEMI) and STEMI were associated with comparable prognosis (log-rank p = 0.528). CONCLUSION: AMI-related CS was associated with increased 30-day all-cause mortality compared to patients with CS not related to AMI. In contrast, the prognosis of STEMI- and NSTEMI-CS patients was comparable.

OBJECTIVE: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with adverse prognosis in various patient populations. However, data regarding the prognostic impact in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) is limited. The study investigates the prognostic impact of pre-existing TR in patients with CS. METHODS: Consecutive patients with CS from 2019 to 2021 were included in a monocentric registry. Every patient's medical history, including echocardiographic data, was recorded. The influence of pre-existing TR on prognosis was investigated. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier analyses based on TR severity were conducted. Statistical analyses comprised univariable t-test, Spearman's correlation, Kaplan-Meier analyses, as well as multivariable Cox proportional regression models. Analyses were stratified by the underlying cause of CS such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or the need for mechanical ventilation. RESULTS: 105 patients with CS and pre-existing TR were included. In Kaplan Meier analyses, it could be demonstrated that patients with severe TR (TR III°) had the highest 30-day all-cause mortality compared to mild (TR I°) and moderate TR (TR II°) (44% vs. 52% vs. 77%; log rank p = .054). In the subgroup analyses of CS-patients without AMI, TR II°/TR III° showed a higher all-cause mortality after 30 days compared to TR I° (39% vs. 64%; log rank p = .027). In multivariable Cox regression TR II°/TR III° was associated with 30-day all-cause mortality in CS-patients without AMI (HR = 2.193; 95% CI 1.007-4.774; p = .048). No significant difference could be found in the AMI group. Furthermore, TR II°/III° was linked to an increased 30-day all-cause mortality in non-ventilated CS-patients (6% vs. 50%, log rank p = .015), which, however, could not be confirmed in multivariable Cox regression. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of pre-existing TR II°/III° was independently related with 30-day all-cause mortality in CS-patients without AMI. However, no prognostic influence was observed in CS-patients with AMI.
