The Individual

Guidewire entrapment is a rare complication of coronary intervention, and management depends on the individual circumstances. This is a case of an urgent percutaneous coronary angioplasty in which a guidewire became entrapped behind a bare metal stent with subsequent fracture of the core filament, which could not be retrieved. Using optical coherence tomography, our case demonstrates extensive tissue coverage of the retained guidewire at twelve months. Five-year follow-up suggests that retained guidewires can be managed without long-term anticoagulation, even when there is substantial intra-aortic material.

Calcified Coronary Lesions

Despite advances in technology, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified coronary lesions remains challenging. Rotational atherectomy is one of the current therapeutic options to manage calcified lesions, but has a limited role in facilitating the dilation or stenting of lesions that cannot be crossed or expanded with other PCI techniques due to unfavourable clinical outcome in long-term follow-up. However the results of orbital atherectomy presented in the ORBIT I and ORBIT II trials were encouraging. In addition to these encouraging data, necessity for sufficient lesion preparation before implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds lead to resurgence in the use of atherectomy. This article summarises currently available publications on orbital atherectomy (Cardiovascular Systems Inc.) and compares them with rotational atherectomy.

Abstract Background Inflammatory status pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and post-PCI has been reported not only associated with poor prognosis, but also to impair renal function. Statins reduce cardiovascular events by lowering lipids and have anti-inflammatory impacts, but residual inflammatory risk (RIR) exists. It remains unclear that the synergistic effect of RIR and chronic kidney disease (CKD) on long-term clinical outcome in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients undergoing PCI in statin era. Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term combined impact of RIR evaluating hs-CRP at follow-up and CKD among stable CAD patients undergoing PCI in statin era. Methods This is a single-center, observational, retrospective cohort study assessing consecutive 2,984 stable CAD patients who underwent first PCI from 2000 to 2016. We analyzed 2,087 patients for whom hs-CRP at follow-up (6–9 months later) was available. High residual inflammatory risk was defined as hs-CRP >0.6 mg/L according to the median value at follow up. Patients were assigned to four groups as Group1 (high RIR and CKD), Group2 (low RIR and CKD), Group3 (high RIR and non-CKD) or Group4 (low RIR and non-CKD). We evaluated all-cause death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and non-fatal stroke. Results Of patients (83% men; mean age 67 years), there were 299 (14.3%) patients in group 1, 201 (9.6%) patients in group 2, 754 (36.1%) patients in group 3, and 833 (39.9%) patients in group 4. The median follow-up period was 5.2 years (IQR, 1.9–9.9 years). In total, 189 (frequency, 16.1%) cases of all-cause death and 128 (11.2%) MACE were identified during follow-up, including 53 (4.6%) CV deaths, 27 (2.4%) MIs and 52 (4.8%) strokes. The rate of all-cause death and MACE in group 1 was significantly higher than other groups (p<0.001, respectively). There was a stepwise increase in the incidence rates of all-cause death and MACE. After adjustment for important covariates, the presence of high RIR and/or CKD were independently associated with higher incidence of MACE and higher all-cause mortality. (shown on figure). Conclusion The presence of both high RIR and CKD conferred a synergistic adverse effect on the risk for long-term adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing PCI.

Background: Long term outcomes of culprit multi-vessel and left main patients who presented with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and underwent either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not well defined. Randomized trials comparing the two modalities constituted mainly of patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). We performed a meta-analysis of studies that compared the long term outcomes of CABG vs. PCI in NSTE-ACS. Methods: Medline, EmCare, CINAHL, Cochrane databases were queried for relevant articles. Studies that included patients with SCAD and ST-elevation myocardial infarction were excluded. Our primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 3-5 years, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, re-infarction and repeat revascularization. The secondary outcome was re-infarction at 3 to 5 years. We used the Paule-Mandel method with Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman adjustment to estimate risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed using Higgin’s I 2 statistics. All statistical analysis was carried out using R version 3.6.2 Results: Four observational studies met our inclusion criteria with a total number of 6695 patients. At 3 to 5 years, the PCI group was associated with a higher risk of MACE as compared to CABG, (RR): 1.52, 95% CI: 1.28 to 1.81, I 2 =0% (PANEL A). The PCI group also had a higher risk of re-infarctions during the period of follow up, RR: 1.88, 95% CI 1.49 to 2.38, I 2 =0% (PANEL B). Conclusion: In this meta-analysis, CABG was associated with a lower risk of MACE and re-infarctions as compared to PCI during 3 to 5 years follow up period.

Background: Mortality benefit of routine intracoronary thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been questioned. The recent TASTE trial did not show a mortality benefit with thrombus aspiration at 1 month, however benefits from accompanying reductions in myocyte injury might accrue over time. A meta-analysis of randomized trials (RCTs) was performed to evaluate the effect of follow up duration on effectiveness of aspiration thrombectomy. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science and CINAHL databases were searched through March, 2014. We included RCTs with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients randomized to aspiration thrombectomy prior to primary PCI compared with conventional primary PCI alone. Two individuals reviewed the trials for inclusion and extracted data from the RCTs. We used random-effects models. Results: Data were pooled from 16 RCTs with 11,649 patients. All-cause mortality was significantly lower with aspiration thrombectomy after at least 12 months of follow up (Odds ratio [OR] =0. 61; 95% CI 0.37-0.99; p=0. 05). Pooled data for other time frames, i.e in-hospital, 1 month, 6 month follow up, did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Beneficial effects of thrombus aspiration on mortality are not evident until 12 months post-procedure, consistent with the long-term effects of myocardial salvage. Subsequent trials evaluating thrombus removal should accordingly be powered for long-term mortality in addition to known procedural and angiographic endpoints.

Purpose: N-terminal fragment of the B type-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is an established tool for assessing acute dyspnoea and stratifying risk in heart failure, acute coronary syndromes (ACS), and stable coronary heart disease (SCHD). The aim of this study was to determine the value of NT-proBNP in predicting long-term risk of patients (Pts) submitted to elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the setting of SCHD. Methods: We prospectively studied 291 Pts (age 64.3±9.6 years, 64 female) with SCHD submitted to successful elective PCI, and determined NT-proBNP immediately before PCI. Pts were divided into 2 groups according to NT-proBNP level: group T3 formed by Pts with NT-proBNP level in the highest tertile and group T1+T2 formed by all remaining Pts. The study endpoint was time to the first occurrence of death (D) or non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) during the mean follow-up of 568 ± 322 days. Multivariable analyses were performed to adjust the prognostic value of NT-proBNP for the effects of factors known to influence NT-proBNP (age, gender, renal function, body mass index) and of other potential predictors of outcome (cardiovascular risk factors, prior cardiovascular events, left ventricular ejection fraction, and PCI characteristics). Results: NT-proBNP ranged from 5 pg/ml to 104 pg/ml in the 1st tertile (T1), 105 pg/ml to 358 pg/ml in the 2nd tertile (T2), and 364 pg/ml to 33.991 pg/ml in the 3rd tertile (T3). During follow-up, 8 Pts died and 11 suffered a non-fatal MI. NT-proBNP was significantly higher in Pts who experienced an adverse outcome (440 pg/ml [inter-quartile range, 104 –1712] vs 174 pg/ml [inter-quartile range, 78 – 460) in Pts with uneventful follow-up; P= 0.007). An NT-proBNP level ≥364 pg/ml was associated with a higher endpoint rate (13.4% vs 3.1% in group T1+T2) and independently predicted outcome: adjusted hazard ratio 3.11, 95% CI, 1.15– 8.37, P=0.025. The sensitivity, specificity, predictive positive value, and negative predictive value for the criterion NT-proBNP ≥364 pg/ml were 68.4%, 69.1%, 13.4%, and 96.9%, respectively. Conclusion: In the setting of SCHD, the level of NT-proBNP is a powerful prognostic marker even after successful PCI.
