ABSTRACT
Introducción y objetivos: Se presenta el informe de actividad del año 2022 de la Asociación de Cardiología Intervencionista de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (ACI-SEC). Métodos: Se invitó a todos los laboratorios de hemodinámica a participar en el registro. La recogida de datos se realizó a través de un cuestionario telemático. Una empresa externa realizó el análisis de datos, revisados por la junta directiva de la ACI-SEC. Resultados: Participaron 111 centros. El número de estudios diagnósticos aumentó un 4,8% con respecto a 2021, y el número de intervenciones coronarias percutáneas (ICP) se mantuvo estable. Las ICP sobre tronco coronario izquierdo aumentaron un 22%. El abordaje radial sigue siendo preferencial para las ICP (94,9%) y se observa un incremento de uso del balón farmacoactivo. El uso de técnicas de imagen intracoronaria se ha incrementado y se utilizan en el 14,7% de las ICP. También aumenta el uso de guía de presión (el 6,3% con respecto a 2021) y técnicas de modificación de placa. Sigue creciendo la ICP primaria, el tratamiento más frecuente (97%) en el infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST. La mayoría de los procedimientos no coronarios mantienen su tendencia creciente; destacan los implantes percutáneos de válvula aórtica, el cierre de orejuela, la técnica borde-a-borde mitral/tricuspídea, la denervación renal y el tratamiento de la enfermedad de la arteria pulmonar. Conclusiones: El Registro español de hemodinámica y cardiología intervencionista de 2022 demuestra un incremento en la complejidad de la enfermedad coronaria y un crecimiento notable de los procedimientos en cardiopatía estructural valvular y no valvular.(AU)
Introduction and objectives: This article presents the annual activity report of the Interventional Cardiology Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (ACI-SEC) for the year 2022. Methods: All Spanish centers with catheterization laboratories were invited to participate. Data were collected online and were analyzed by an external company in collaboration with the members of the board of the ACI-SEC. Results: A total of 111 centers participated. The number of diagnostic studies increased by 4.8% compared with 2021, while that of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) remained stable. PCIs on the left main coronary artery increased by 22%. The radial approach continued to be preferred for PCI (94.9%). There was an upsurge in the use of drug-eluting balloons, as well as in intracoronary imaging techniques, which were used in 14.7% of PCIs. The use of pressure wires also increased (6.3% vs 2021) as did plaque modification techniques. Primary PCI continued to grow and was the most frequent treatment (97%) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Most noncoronary procedures maintained their upward trend, particularly percutaneous aortic valve implantation, atrial appendage closure, mitral/tricuspid edge-to-edge therapy, renal denervation, and percutaneous treatment of pulmonary arterial disease. Conclusions: The Spanish cardiac catheterization and coronary intervention registry for 2022 reveals a rise in the complexity of coronary disease, along with a notable growth in procedures for valvular and nonvalvular structural heart disease.(AU)

Introducción y objetivos: La Asociación de Cardiología Intervencionista de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (ACI-SEC) presenta su informe anual de actividad del año 2021. Métodos: Todos los centros españoles con laboratorio de hemodinámica recibieron una invitación para participar en el registro. La recogida de datos se realizó a través de un cuestionario telemático. Una empresa externa se encargó del análisis de los datos, que fueron revisados por los miembros actuales de la Junta de la ACI-SEC. Resultados: Participaron 121 centros (83 públicos y 38 privados). El número de estudios diagnósticos se incrementó en un 11,4% en comparación con 2020. También se recuperaron las cifras de intervención coronaria percutánea (ICP), con un incremento del 10,3% respecto al año previo. El abordaje radial fue el más utilizado para la ICP (92,9%). La ICP primaria experimentó un crecimiento del 6,2% y, por el contrario, las angioplastias de rescate (1,8%) o facilitada/planificada (2,4%) se redujeron respecto a 2020. Uno de los incrementos más significativos de todo el registro fue en el número de implantes percutáneos de válvula aórtica, que se sitúan en 5.720 procedimientos, lo que representa un aumento del 34,9% respecto a 2020. El número de implantes por millón de habitantes también se incrementó hasta los 120 por millón (89,4 en 2020). Otros procedimientos estructurales, como los de reparaciones mitral y tricuspídea, cierre de orejuela o de foramen oval permeable, también tuvieron un aumento importante respecto a 2020. Conclusiones: El Registro español de la ACI-SEC 2021 demuestra una clara recuperación de la actividad en general respecto a 2020, el año de la pandemia de la COVID-19.(AU)

Methods: All Spanish centers with catheterization laboratories were invited to participate. Data were collected online and were analyzed by an external company, together with the members of the ACI-SEC. Results: A total of 121 centers participated (83 public and 38 private). Compared to 2020, both diagnostic coronary angiograms and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) increased by 11,4% and 10,3%, respectively. The radial approach was the most used access (92,8%). Primary PCI also increased by 6.2% whereas rescue PCI (1,8%) and facilitated PCI (2,4%) were less frequently conducted. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation was one of the interventions with the most relevant increase. A total of 5720 transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedures were conducted with an increase of 34,9% compared to 2020 (120 per million in 2021 and 89,4 per million in 2020). Other structural interventions like transcatheter mitral or tricuspid repair, left atrial appendage occlusion and patent foramen oval closure also experienced a significant increase. Conclusions: The 2021 registry demonstrates a clear recovery of the activity both in coronary and structural interventions showing a relevant increase compared to 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic.(AU)

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Equal opportunities to access technical advances with recognized clinical value should be a priority of the publicly-funded health system. We analyzed variability among all the Spanish autonomous communities in the use of cardiovascular techniques with an established indication and its relationship with economic indicators, burden of disease, and hospital mortality. METHODS: The activity registries of various Associations of the Spanish Society of Cardiology from 2011 to 2019 were analyzed for coronary angiography, overall percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), primary PCI, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), cardiac resynchronization therapy, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Economic indices (gross domestic product and per capita health care expenditure) were obtained from public sources and data on attendance rates and mortality from the Resources and Quality in Cardiology (RECALCAR) reports of the Spanish Society of Cardiology. We analyzed the coefficient of variation for activity and the correlation of activity with regional economic indices, attendance rates, and risk-adjusted rates of in-hospital mortality. RESULTS: We identified wide variability in the use of technologies, especially for primary PCI (18%), ICD (22%), cardiac resynchronization therapy (36%), and TAVR (42%). A certain correlation with attendance rates was seen only for overall PCI and ICD. In general, no significant correlation was found between the use of the techniques and the economic indices of wealth and expenditure. The correlation with in-hospital mortality showed no significant results, although this was the analysis with the greatest limitations because the impact of these techniques on survival is exerted more in the mid- and long-term. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study, despite its inherent limitations, show marked variability between autonomous communities in the use of cardiovascular technologies, which is not explained by economic differences or by hospital attendance rates due to the corresponding diseases.

OBJECTIVES: Elderly patients show a higher incidence of ischemic and bleeding events after percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI). We sought to investigate outcomes in elderly patients treated with antithrombotic strategy guided by bleeding and ischemic risks after revascularization with last generation everolimus-eluting stent (EES). METHODS: Prospective multicenter registry including patients over 75 years revascularized with EES and antithrombotic therapy guided by clinical presentation, PCI complexity and PRECISE DAPT score. Co-primary safety endpoints were: (1) composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis and; (2) bleeding (BARC 2-5). Primary efficacy endpoint was target lesion revascularization. A matched group of patients revascularized with current drug-eluting stents and no such tailored antithrombotic therapy was used as control. RESULTS: Finally, 1064 patients were included in SIERRA-75 cohort, 80.8 ± 4.2 years, 36.6% women, 71% acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and 53.6% complex PCI. Co-primary safety endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular events was met in 6.2%, co-primary safety endpoint of bleeding in 7.8% and primary efficacy endpoint of TKLR in 1.5%. The multivariable adjusted model showed no significant association of the prescribed short/long dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) durations with any endpoint suggesting a well tailored therapy. No stent thrombosis reported in the subgroup with 1-3 months DAPT duration. As compared to control group, bleeding BARC 2-5 was significantly lower in SIERRA-75 group (7.4% vs. 10.2%, P = 0.04) as well as the net safety-efficacy endpoint (14.3% vs. 18.5%, P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: In elderly population, the application of this risks-adjusted antithrombotic protocol after revascularization with last generation EES seems to be associated with an improved prognosis in terms of ischemic and bleeding outcomes.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) should be considered in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) have been demonstrated to improve prognosis in heart failure. We aimed to evaluate the impact ARNIs on patient selection and outcomes. METHODS: The population of the Spanish TEER prospective registry (March 2012 to January 2021) was divided into 2 groups: a) TEER before the ARNI era (n=450) and b) TEER after the recommendation of ARNIs by European Guidelines (n=639), with further analysis according to intake (n=52) or not (n=587) of ARNIs. RESULTS: A total of 1089 consecutive patients underwent TEER for secondary MR. In the ARNI era, there was a reduction in left ventricle dilation (82mL vs 100mL, P=.025), and better function (35% vs 38%, P=.011). At 2 years of follow-up, mortality (10.6% vs 17.3%, P <.001) and heart failure readmissions (16.6% vs 27.8%, P <.001) were lower in the ARNI era, but not recurrent MR. In the ARNI era, 1- and 2-year mortality were similar irrespective of ARNI intake but patients on ARNIs had a lower risk of readmission+mortality at 2 years (OR, 0.369; 95%CI, 0.137-0.992; P=.048), better NYHA class, and lower recurrence of MR III-IV (1.9% vs 14.3%, P=.011). CONCLUSIONS: Better patient selection for TEER has been achieved in the last few years with a parallel improvement in outcomes. The use of ARNIs was associated with a significant reduction in overall events, better NYHA class, and lower MR recurrence.

BACKGROUND: We sought to investigate the antithrombotic regimens applied and their prognostic effects in patients over 75â¯years old with atrial fibrillation (AF) after revascularization with drug-eluting stents (DES). METHODS: Retrospective registry in 20 centers including patients over 75â¯years with AF treated with DES. A primary endpoint of MACCE and a co-primary endpoint of major bleeding by ISTH criteria were considered at 12â¯months. RESULTS: A total of 1249 patients (81.1⯱â¯4.2â¯years, 33.1% women, 66.6% ACS, 30.6% complex PCI) were included. Triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT) was prescribed in 81.7% and dual antithrombotic therapy (DAT) in 18.3%. TAT was based on direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in 48.4% and maintained for only 1â¯month in 52.2%, and DAT included DOAC in 70.6%. Primary endpoint of MACCE was met in 9.6% and primary endpoint of major bleeding in 9.4%. TAT was significantly associated with more bleeding (10.2% vs. 6.1%, pâ¯=â¯0.04) but less MACCE (8.7% vs. 13.6%, pâ¯=â¯0.02) than DAT and the use of DOAC was significantly associated to less bleeding (8% vs. 11.1%, pâ¯=â¯0.03) and similar MACCE (9.8% vs. 9.4%, pâ¯=â¯0.8). TAT over 1â¯month or with VKA was associated with more major bleeding but comparable MACCE rates. CONCLUSIONS: Despite advanced age TAT prevails, but duration over 1â¯month or the use of other agent than Apixaban are associated with increased bleeding without additional MACCE prevention. DAT reduces bleeding but with a trade-off in terms of ischemic events. DOAC use was significantly associated to less bleeding and similar MACCE rates.

Introducción y objetivos: La cardiopatía isquémica es la primera causa de insuficiencia cardiaca. Nuestro objetivo es analizar el riesgo de insuficiencia cardiaca tras un síndrome coronario agudo en pacientes sin insuficiencia cardiaca previa ni disfunción ventricular izquierda. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo de pacientes consecutivos ingresados por síndrome coronario agudo en 2 hospitales. La incidencia de insuficiencia cardiaca se analizó considerando la muerte como evento competitivo. Resultados: Se incluyó a 5.962 pacientes, y 567 (9,5%) tuvieron al menos 1 reingreso por insuficiencia cardiaca aguda. La mediana de seguimiento fue 63 meses y la mediana de tiempo hasta el reingreso por insuficiencia cardiaca 27,1 meses. La incidencia acumulada de insuficiencia cardiaca fue superior que la de muerte en los primeros 7 años tras el alta. La edad, la diabetes, la cardiopatía isquémica previa, una escala GRACE> 140, la enfermedad arterial periférica, la disfunción renal, la hipertensión arterial y la fibrilación auricular se asociaron con mayor riesgo de reingreso por insuficiencia cardiaca; el tratamiento médico óptimo se asoció con menor riesgo. La incidencia de insuficiencia cardiaca en el primer año fue del 2,73% y no se hallaron variables protectoras. Una sencilla escala de riesgo de insuficiencia cardiaca predijo el riesgo de reingreso por insuficiencia cardiaca. Conclusiones: Uno de cada 10 pacientes dados de alta tras un síndrome coronario agudo sin haber tenido antes insuficiencia cardiaca o disfunción ventricular sufrió insuficiencia cardiaca de novo y el riesgo es superior que el de muerte. Una sencilla escala clínica permite estimar el riesgo individual de reingreso por insuficiencia cardiaca, incluso en pacientes que no han tenido antes insuficiencia cardiaca ni disfunción ventricular izquierda.

Introduction and objectives: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to assess the risk of readmission for HF in patients with acute coronary syndrome without previous HF or left ventricular dysfunction. Methods: Prospective study of consecutive patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome in 2 institutions. Risk factors for HF were analyzed by competing risk regression, taking all-cause mortality as a competing event. Results: We included 5962 patients and 567 (9.5%) experienced at least 1 hospital readmission for acute HF. Median follow-up was 63 months and median time to HF readmission was 27.1 months. The cumulative incidence of HF was higher than mortality in the first 7 years after hospital discharge. A higher risk of HF readmission was associated with age, diabetes, previous coronary heart disease, GRACE score> 140, peripheral arterial disease, renal dysfunction, hypertension and atrial fibrillation; a lower risk was associated with optimal medical treatment. The incidence of HF in the first year of follow-up was 2.73% and no protective variables were found. A simple HF risk score predicted HF readmissions risk. Conclusions: One out of 10 patients discharged after an acute coronary syndrome without previous HF or left ventricular dysfunction had new-onset HF and the risk was higher than the risk of mortality. A simple clinical score can estimate individual risk of HF readmission even in patients without previous HF or left ventricular dysfunction. (AU)

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Recent randomized data comparing percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) versus optimal medical treatment in patients with functional MR (FMR) seemed to highlight the importance of the learning curve not only for procedural outcomes but also for patient selection. The aim of the study was to compare a contemporary series of patients undergoing PMVR using a second-generation Mitraclip device (Mitraclip NT) with previous cohorts treated with a first-generation system. METHODS: This multicenter study collected individual data from 18 centers between 2012 and 2017. The cohort was divided into three groups according to the use of the first-generation Mitraclip during the first (control-1) or second half (control-2) or the Mitraclip NT system. RESULTS: A total of 545 consecutive patients were included in the study. Among all, 182 (33.3%), 183 (33.3%), and 180 (33.3%) patients underwent mitral repair in the control-1, control-2, and NT cohorts, respectively. Procedural success was achieved in 93.3% of patients without differences between groups. Major adverse events did not statistically differ among groups, but there was a higher rate of pericardial effusion in the control-1 group (4.3%, 0.6%, and 2.6%, respectively; p = 0.025). The composite endpoint of death, surgery, and admission for congestive heart failure (CHF) at 12 months was lower in the NT group (23.5% in control-1, 22.5% in control-2, and 8.3% in the NT group; p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS: The present paper shows that contemporary clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PMVR with the Mitraclip system have improved over time.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients treated with the drug-eluting stent ihtDEStiny BD. BACKGROUND: The ihtDEStiny BD stent is a metallic sirolimus eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer with both drug and polymer coating the abluminal surface of the stent and balloon. METHODS: In this study, the clinical outcomes of a multicenter prospective registry of patients treated with this stent (DEStiny group) were analyzed and compared with those of a control group of patients treated with durable polymer everolimus or zotarolimus eluting stents (CONTROL group) paired by propensity score matching. Primary outcome was the target vessel failure (TVF) at 12â¯months defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). RESULTS: A total of 350 patients were included in the DESTtiny group. The control group consisted initially of 1368 patients, but after matching (1:1) 350 patients were selected as CONTROL group. The baseline clinical, angiographic and procedural characteristics were quite comparable in both groups. At 12â¯months follow up the TVF was 6.6% in DEStiny group and 6.3% in CONTROL group (pâ¯=â¯0.8). No differences were observed for any of the individual components of the primary endpoint: cardiac death 1.1% vs. 1.4%, TV-MI 3.4% vs. 3.7% and TVR 2.6% vs. 2.3% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The use of ihtDEStiny stent in real practice is associated with a clinical performance at 12â¯months follow up that appears to be non-inferior to the most widely used and largely evidence supported durable polymer drug eluting stents. A longer follow up is warranted.

Introducción y objetivos: Los pacientes mayores de 75 años con infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST sometidos a angioplastia primaria en situación de shock cardiogénico sufren una gran mortalidad. La identificación previa al procedimento de variables predictoras de la posterior mortalidad sería muy útil para guiar la toma de decisiones. Métodos: Análisis del registro multicéntrico de angioplastia primaria en pacientes mayores de 75 años (ESTROFA MI+75), que incluye a 3.576 pacientes. Se analizaron las características y la evolución clínica del subgrupo con shock cardiogénico para identificar predictores de supervivencia a 1 año tras la angioplastia y elaborar un índice pronóstico. Se validó el índice en una cohorte independiente. Resultados: Se incluyó a 332 pacientes. Los predictores basales independientes fueron: la localización anterior (HR=2,8; IC95%, 1,4-6,0; p=0,005), una fracción de eyección<40% (HR=2,3; IC95%, 1,14-4,50; p=0,018) y un tiempo entre el inicio de los síntomas y la angioplastia >6 h (HR=3,2; IC95%, 1,6-7,5; p=0,001). Se diseñó un índice basado en estas variables (índice «6-ANT-40»). La supervivencia a 1 año fue del 54,5% de aquellos con índice 0, el 32,3% con índice 1, el 27,4% con índice 2 y el 17% con índice 3 (p=0,004, estadístico C=0,70). En una cohorte independiente de 124 pacientes, las supervivencias a 1 año fueron del 64,5, el 40,0, el 28,9 y el 22,2% respectivamente (p=0,008; estadístico C=0,68). Conclusiones: Un índice basado en simples variables clínicas previas al procedimiento (localización anterior, fracción de eyección<40%, demora >6 h) permite estimar la supervivencia tras una angioplastia primaria de los pacientes mayores con shock cardiogénico, y así ayudar en la toma de decisiones
Background and objectives: Patients older than 75 years with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty in cardiogenic shock have high mortality. Identification of preprocedural predictors of short- and long-term mortality could be useful to guide decision-making and further interventions. Methods: We analyzed a nationwide registry of primary angioplasty in the elderly (ESTROFA MI+75) comprising 3576 patients. The characteristics and outcomes of the subgroup of patients in cardiogenic shock were analyzed to identify associated factors and prognostic predictors in order to derive a baseline risk prediction score for 1-year mortality. The score was validated in an independent cohort. Results: A total of 332 patients were included. Baseline independent predictors of mortality were anterior myocardial infarction (HR 2.8, 95%CI, 1.4-6.0; P=.005), ejection fraction<40% (HR 2.3, 95%CI, 1.14-4.50; P=.018), and time from symptom onset to angioplasty >6hours (HR 3.2, 95%CI, 1.6-7.5; P=.001). A score was designed that included these predictive factors (score "6-ANT-40"). Survival at 1 year was 54.5% for patients with score 0, 32.3% for score 1, 27.4% for score 2 and 17% for score 3 (P=.004, c-statistic 0.70). The score was validated in an independent cohort of 124 patients, showing 1-year survival rates of 64.5%, 40.0%, 28.9%, and 22.2%, respectively (P=.008, c-statistic 0.68). Conclusions: A preprocedural score based on 3 simple clinical variables (anterior location, ejection fraction<40%, and delay time >6 hours) may be used to estimate survival after primary angioplasty in elderly patients with cardiogenic shock and to guide preinterventional decision-making

Survival at 1 year was 54.5% for patients with score 0, 32.3% for score 1, 27.4% for score 2 and 17% for score 3 (P=.004, c-statistic 0.70). The score was validated in an independent cohort of 124 patients, showing 1-year survival rates of 64.5%, 40.0%, 28.9%, and 22.2%, respectively (P=.008, c-statistic 0.68). CONCLUSIONS: A preprocedural score based on 3 simple clinical variables (anterior location, ejection fraction<40%, and delay time >6 hours) may be used to estimate survival after primary angioplasty in elderly patients with cardiogenic shock and to guide preinterventional decision-making.

BACKGROUND: Stroke is one the most feared cardiovascular disease due to its high risk of disability and its incidence after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not uncommon. METHODS: Retrospective study of all consecutive patients admitted for an ACS in two hospitals. Competing risk regression, taking all-cause mortality as a competing event, was used for the assessment of stroke incidence. RESULTS: We included 8771 patients, AF prevalence 12.4%. AF patients were older and presented higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, previous cardiovascular disease, and lower glomerular filtration rate. Less than half of AF patients were receiving oral anticoagulation before admission. In-hospital mortality was 5.1% and it was more than two-fold higher in AF patients (10.2% vs. 4.4%; pâ¯<â¯0.01). Relevant differences on medical treatments were observed at discharge and oral anticoagulation was roughly <50% in AF patients. During a median follow-up was 58.7â¯months, 313 patients experienced at least one stroke (incidence 3.8%, 95% CI 3.4-4.2,) and it was 2-fold higher in patients with AF: 7.8% vs. 3.3% (pâ¯<â¯0.01). Median time to first stroke was 33.0 (30.1) months and it was shorter for AF patients compared to non-AF patients (28.2⯱â¯22.3 vs. 34.6⯱â¯31.1; pâ¯<â¯0.01). The adjusted competing risk regression identified AF, previous stroke and CHA2DS2-VASc scoreâ¯=â¯2 or ≥3 as independent predictors of stroke; CHA2DS2-VASc scoreâ¯=â¯2 was associated to higher risk of stroke only in AF patients. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term incidence of stroke after an ACS was 3.8%, 7.8% in AF-patients and 3.3% in patients without any diagnosis of AF.
