BACKGROUND The impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on long-term outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the era of modern primary PCI with optimal medical therapy is still in debate.Methods and Results:A total of 3,281 patients with AMI were enrolled in the J-MINUET registry, with primary PCI of 93.1% in STEMI. CKD stage on admission was classified into: no CKD (eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2); moderate CKD (60>eGFR≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2); and severe CKD (eGFR

Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation using balloon ablation was developed as a technique for patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). While most studies examined cryoballoon ablation (CBA), there have also been many reports on hot balloon ablation (HBA). We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes between HBA and CBA. In a total of 103 consecutive patients with PAF who underwent catheter ablation, 60 propensity score–matched (30 CBA and 30 HBA) patients were enrolled. The procedural differences and clinical outcomes between the two groups were analyzed. The requirement for additional touch-up ablation was more frequent in the left superior pulmonary vein (LSP) in the HBA group than in the CBA group. Pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) images showed that a thicker left pulmonary vein ridge and larger cross-sectional area of the LSPV were significantly associated with residual PV potentials after HBA. However, post-procedural CT images showed that PV stenosis (> 25%) was higher in the HBA group (33%) than in the CBA group (0%). PV stenosis after HBA was observed most frequently in the right superior PV (50%). The atrial fibrillation/atrial tachycardia–free survival rate during follow-up (365 ± 102 days) was similar between the two groups (CBA vs. HBA, 83% vs. 90%). Although both balloon modalities can relieve atrial arrhythmia after the procedure, careful attention is required during HBA procedures, especially for the right superior PV, to avoid PV stenosis.

Beta-blockers are associated with several clinical benefits in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (REF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), such as lower rates of mortality, recurrence of myocardial infarction, and heart failure. However, the long-term prognosis of beta-blockers has rarely been investigated in patients with non-REF after AMI. This study aimed to investigate the clinical benefits of beta-blockers in these patients.A total of 3281 consecutive patients who were hospitalized within 48 h after AMI were registered in the J-MINUET study. Patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and had a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40 % were enrolled, and patients who died during admission were excluded. Included patients were divided into two groups according to the prescription of beta-blockers at discharge. Their characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared.The number of AMI patients treated with beta-blockers was 1353 (70.4 %). Patients who received beta-blockers were younger and had a higher incidence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction than those who did not receive beta-blockers. The peak creatine kinase level after primary PCI was significantly higher in patients who received beta-blockers. These patients also had a lower incidence of a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke compared to those that did not receive beta-blockers (7.3 % vs. 11.9 %, p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that beta-blocker use was an independent factor for better clinical outcomes.The J-MINUET study revealed the clinical benefit of beta-blockers in AMI patients with non-REF after primary PCI.

Digital, Background Guidelines recommend nonstatin lipid-lowering agents in patients at very high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) if low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains ≥70 mg/dL on maximum tolerated statin treatment. It is uncertain if this approach benefits patients with LDL-C near 70 mg/dL. Lipoprotein(a) levels may influence residual risk. Objectives In a post hoc analysis of the ODYSSEY Outcomes (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab) trial, the authors evaluated the benefit of adding the proprotein subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor alirocumab to optimized statin treatment in patients with LDL-C levels near 70 mg/dL. Effects were evaluated according to concurrent lipoprotein(a) levels. Methods ODYSSEY Outcomes compared alirocumab with placebo in 18,924 patients with recent acute coronary syndromes receiving optimized statin treatment. In 4,351 patients (23.0%), screening or randomization LDL-C was 13.7 mg/dL or ≤13.7 mg/dL; corresponding adjusted treatment hazard ratios were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.72-0.92) and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.75-1.06), with Pinteraction = 0.43. Conclusions In patients with recent acute coronary syndromes and LDL-C near 70 mg/dL on optimized statin therapy, proprotein subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition provides incremental clinical benefit only when lipoprotein(a) concentration is at least mildly elevated.

Background Stent thrombosis (ST) after drug‐eluting stent (DES) implantation remains a life‐threatening complication. Recurrent ST (RST) is not a rare phenomenon, potentially contributing to high mortality after the index ST events. However, little evidence is available about the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of definite RST after DES thrombosis. Methods and Results From REAL‐ST (Retrospective Multicenter Registry of ST After First‐ and Second‐ Generation DES Implantation), this study evaluated 595 patients with definite ST (first‐generation DES thrombosis, n=314; second‐generation DES thrombosis, n=281). During a median follow‐up of 31 months, we identified 32 patients with definite RST after first‐generation DES thrombosis (n=18) and second‐generation DES thrombosis (n=15). Cumulative incidence of RST was 4.5% and 6.0% at 1 and 5 years, respectively, which did not significantly differ between first‐generation DES thrombosis and second‐generation DES thrombosis. Independent predictors of definite RST were early ST (hazard ratio [HR], 2.38; 95% CI, 1.06–5.35 [ P =0.035]) and multivessel ST (HR, 3.47; 95% CI, 1.03–11.7 [ P =0.044]). Definite RST was associated with a 2.8‐fold increased risk of mortality (adjusted HR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.35–5.73 [ P =0.006]). Conclusions Cumulative incidence of definite RST did not significantly differ between first‐generation DES thrombosis and second‐generation DES thrombosis. Early ST and multivessel ST were risk factors of definite RST. Definite RST significantly increased mortality after DES thrombosis, highlighting the clinical importance of preventing RST to improve outcomes of patients with ST.

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare 7-year outcomes between the first-generation sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) and the new-generation everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in a randomized clinical trial. Background There is a scarcity of very long-term (beyond 5 years) data from clinical trials investigating whether new-generation drug-eluting stents have clear clinical advantages over first-generation drug-eluting stents. Methods RESET (Randomized Evaluation of Sirolimus-Eluting Versus Everolimus-Eluting Stent Trial) is the largest randomized trial comparing EES with SES (NCT01035450). Among a total of 3,197 patients in the original RESET population from 100 centers, the present extended 7-year follow-up study was conducted in 2,667 patients from 75 centers after excluding those patients enrolled from centers that denied participation. Complete 7-year follow-up was achieved in 91.5% of patients. Results The cumulative 7-year incidence of the primary efficacy endpoint of target lesion revascularization was not significantly different between EES and SES (10.2% vs. 11.7%; hazard ratio: 0.87; 95% confidence interval: 0.68 to 1.10; p = 0.24). The risk for the primary safety endpoint of death or myocardial infarction trended lower with EES than with SES (20.6% vs. 23.6%; hazard ratio: 0.85; 95% confidence interval: 0.72 to 1.005; p = 0.06). The cumulative 7-year incidence of definite stent thrombosis was very low and similar between EES and SES (0.9% vs. 1.0%; p = 0.82). The lower risk of EES relative to SES was significant for the composite secondary endpoint of target lesion failure (13.3% vs. 18.1%; hazard ratio: 0.72; 95% confidence interval: 0.59 to 0.88; p = 0.001). Conclusions During 7 years of follow-up, the risk for target lesion revascularization was not significantly different between the new-generation EES and the first-generation SES.

Background Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) can be used to diagnose aortic atherosclerotic plaques. We examine the association between the number of aortic plaques detected by NOGA and the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events. Methods The Evaluation of AtheroScleroTic and rupture events by Non-Obstructive General Angioscopy (EAST-NOGA) was a prospective cohort study of patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent NOGA. Results Of the 577 patients who underwent NOGA, 532 (92%) completed the follow-up (median follow-up: 13 months, interquartile range: 12-16). The median number of plaques per person was 6 (interquartile range: 3-12), and 567 (98%) had at least one aortic plaque. During the 13-month follow-up, 38 (7.1%) patients had a primary composite endpoint [including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD), or worsening renal function], which was significantly associated with chronic kidney disease, a history of PAD, a lower hemoglobin level, and large numbers of aortic plaques [11 (5-17) vs. 6 (2-11), p = 0.003]. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for the number of aortic plaques predicting composite endpoints revealed that the cut-off value of aortic plaques was 12. After multivariate adjustment, the presence of ≥12 aortic plaques remained a significant predictor for composite endpoint events (hazard ratio 2.53, 95% confidence interval 1.26-5.04, p = 0.010). Conclusions The number of aortic plaques detected by NOGA may predict subsequent clinical events.

Objectives We aimed to test a novel stent-less revascularization strategy using a combination of excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Background Percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stents is a standard invasive treatment for ACS. Some unsolved issues however remain, such as stent thrombosis and bleeding risks associated with dual antiplatelet therapy. Methods Consecutive ACS patients were planned to receive either a DCB application following ELCA without a stent implantation or conventional revascularization with a coronary stent. The endpoints were (i) major cardiac adverse events (MACEs), defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarctions, and target lesion revascularization; (ii) target vessel revascularization (TVR); and (iii) angiographic outcome. Results Since a greater than expected number of patients allocated to the stent-less treatment arm eventually received a bailout stenting, the following 3 as-treated groups were compared; DCB with ELCA group (N = 60), Stent with ELCA group (N = 23), and Stent without ELCA group (N = 85). During a mean follow-up period of 420 ± 137 days, and with angiographic 6- and 12-month-follow-up rates of 96.7%, 87%, and 81.2%, and 50%, 65.2%, and 45.9%, respectively, the MACE rate did not differ across the groups (10%, 4.3%, and 3.5%; P = 0.22) while an incidence of TVR was more common (15%, 0, and 4.7%; P = 0.02) and the diameter stenosis at 6-months of follow-up was greater (25.7 ± 18.2, 14.9 ± 13.1 and 16.2 ± 15.4%; P = 0.002) in the DCB with ELCA group. Conclusions The stent-less revascularization strategy with DCB and ELCA was associated with a higher occurrence of restenosis in ACS patients.

Background Little is known about clinical associations between glucose fluctuations including hypoglycemia, heart rate variability (HRV), and the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in patients with acute phase of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This pilot study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of glucose fluctuations on HRV and SNS activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with recent ACS. We also examined the effect of suppressing glucose fluctuations with miglitol on these variables. Methods This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, multicenter, parallel-group comparative study included 39 T2DM patients with recent ACS, who were randomly assigned to either a miglitol group (n = 19) or a control group (n = 20). After initial 24-h Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) (Day 1), miglitol was commenced and another 24-h Holter ECG (Day 2) was recorded. In addition, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was performed throughout the Holter ECG. Results Although frequent episodes of subclinical hypoglycemia (≤4.44 mmo/L) during CGM were observed on Day 1 in the both groups (35% of patients in the control group and 31% in the miglitol group), glucose fluctuations were decreased and the minimum glucose level was increased with substantial reduction in the episodes of subclinical hypoglycemia to 7.7% in the miglitol group on Day 2. Holter ECG showed that the mean and maximum heart rate and mean LF/HF were increased on Day 2 in the control group, and these increases were attenuated by miglitol. When divided 24-h time periods into day-time (0700–1800 h), night-time (1800–0000 h), and bed-time (0000–0700 h), we found increased SNS activity during day-time, increased maximum heart rate during night-time, and glucose fluctuations during bed-time, which were attenuated by miglitol treatment. Conclusions In T2DM patients with recent ACS, glucose fluctuations with subclinical hypoglycemia were associated with alterations of HRV and SNS activity, which were mitigated by miglitol, suggesting that these pathological relationships may be a residual therapeutic target in such patients.

A reduction in mean LDL cholesterol to 1.4-1.8 mmol/L with ezetimibe or statins reduces cardiovascular events in patients with an acute coronary syndrome and diabetes. However, the efficacy and safety of further reduction in LDL cholesterol with an inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) after acute coronary syndrome is unknown. We aimed to explore this issue in a prespecified analysis of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial of the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab, assessing its effects on cardiovascular outcomes by baseline glycaemic status, while also assessing its effects on glycaemic measures including risk of new-onset diabetes. Methods ODYSSEY OUTCOMES was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, done at 1315 sites in 57 countries, that compared alirocumab with placebo in patients who had been admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome (myocardial infarction or unstable angina) 1-12 months before randomisation and who had raised concentrations of atherogenic lipoproteins despite use of high-intensity statins. Patients were randomly assigned (1: 1) to receive alirocumab or placebo every 2 weeks; randomisation was stratified by country and was done centrally with an interactive voice-response or web-response system. Alirocumab was titrated to target LDL cholesterol concentrations of 0.65-1.30 mmol/L. in this prespecified analysis, we investigated the effect of alirocumab on cardiovascular events by glycaemic status at baseline (diabetes, prediabetes, or normoglycaemia)-defined on the basis of patient history, review of medical records, or baseline HbA(1c) or fasting serum glucose-and risk of new-onset diabetes among those without diabetes at baseline. the primary endpoint was a composite of death from coronary heart disease, non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal or non-fatal ischaemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospital admission. ODYSSEY OUTCOMES is registered with ClinicalTrials. gov, number NCT01663402. Findings At study baseline, 5444 patients (28.8%) had diabetes, 8246 (43.6%) had prediabetes, and 5234 (27.7%) had normoglycaemia. There were no significant differences across glycaemic categories in median LDL cholesterol at baseline (2.20-2.28 mmol/L), after 4 months' treatment with alirocumab (0.80 mmol/L), or after 4 months' treatment with placebo (2.25-2.28 mmol/L). in the placebo group, the incidence of the primary endpoint over a median of 2.8 years was greater in patients with diabetes (16.4%) than in those with prediabetes (9.2%) or normoglycaemia (8.5%); hazard ratio (HR) for diabetes versus normoglycaemia 2.09 (95% CI 1.78-2.46, p, Sanofi; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

The aim of this study was to compare 7-year outcomes between the first-generation sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) and the new-generation everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in a randomized clinical trial.There is a scarcity of very long-term (beyond 5 years) data from clinical trials investigating whether new-generation drug-eluting stents have clear clinical advantages over first-generation drug-eluting stents.RESET (Randomized Evaluation of Sirolimus-Eluting Versus Everolimus-Eluting Stent Trial) is the largest randomized trial comparing EES with SES (NCT01035450). Among a total of 3,197 patients in the original RESET population from 100 centers, the present extended 7-year follow-up study was conducted in 2,667 patients from 75 centers after excluding those patients enrolled from centers that denied participation. Complete 7-year follow-up was achieved in 91.5% of patients.The cumulative 7-year incidence of the primary efficacy endpoint of target lesion revascularization was not significantly different between EES and SES (10.2% vs. 11.7%; hazard ratio: 0.87; 95% confidence interval: 0.68 to 1.10; p = 0.24). The risk for the primary safety endpoint of death or myocardial infarction trended lower with EES than with SES (20.6% vs. 23.6%; hazard ratio: 0.85; 95% confidence interval: 0.72 to 1.005; p = 0.06). The cumulative 7-year incidence of definite stent thrombosis was very low and similar between EES and SES (0.9% vs. 1.0%; p = 0.82). The lower risk of EES relative to SES was significant for the composite secondary endpoint of target lesion failure (13.3% vs. 18.1%; hazard ratio: 0.72; 95% confidence interval: 0.59 to 0.88; p = 0.001).During 7 years of follow-up, the risk for target lesion revascularization was not significantly different between the new-generation EES and the first-generation SES.

Background The vascular response, in terms of quality and quantity, of the second- and third-generation drug-eluting stents (2G- and 3G-DES, respectively) was assessed prospectively on coronary angioscopy (CAS).Methods and Results:The Multicenter study on Intra-Coronary AngioScopy After Stent (MICASA) is a multicenter CAS registry. A total of 107 DES (71 2G- and 36 3G-DES) were prospectively observed on CAS 8.7±2.7 months after percutaneous coronary intervention. Neointimal coverage (NC) grade was evaluated using a 4-point grading scale, from 0 (no coverage) to 3 (complete coverage). Plaque yellow color (YC) was also assessed using a 4-point grading system, from 0 (white) to 3 (bright yellow). Max-NC (2G-DES vs. 3G-DES: 2.14±0.68 vs. 2.44±0.73, P=0.023); min-NC (1.07±0.48 vs. 1.39±0.60, P=0.002), and dominant-NC (1.57±0.69 vs. 2.08±0.84, P=0.002) were significantly higher and the YC grade (1.23±0.82 vs. 0.86±0.76, P=0.031) significantly lower in the 3G-DES group than in the 2G-DES group. There was no significant difference in the presence of thrombus (28.2% vs. 22.2%, P=0.51) between the 2G- and 3G-DES groups. Conclusions The higher NC grade and lower YC grade in 3G-DES than in 2G-DES might be associated with better long-term clinical outcome, which remains to be determined in future studies.

Background The comparative efficacy of second-generation (G2) vs. first-generation (G1) drug-eluting stents (DES) for calcified coronary lesions is unknown.Methods and Results:We compared the 3-year clinical outcomes of patients with G1- or G2-DES according to the presence or absence of calcified coronary lesions as assessed in an angiographic core laboratory using data from 2 large-scale prospective multicenter randomized trials, RESET and NEXT. G1-DES and G2-DES were implanted in 299 and 1,033 patients, respectively, in the Calc stratum (≥1 lesion with moderate/severe calcification), and 1,208 and 3,550 patients, respectively, in the Non-calc stratum (no/mild calcification). The patients in the Calc stratum had a significantly higher adjusted risk for the primary outcome measure (any target-lesion revascularization (TLR)) than those in the Non-calc stratum (HR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.11-1.71, P=0.004). The cumulative 3-year incidence of any TLR was not significantly different between the G1-DES and G2-DES groups in both the Calc and Non-calc strata (12.1% vs. 9.7%, P=0.22, and 6.8% vs. 6.1%, P=0.44, respectively). After adjusting for confounders, the effect of G2DES relative to G1-DES for any TLR remained insignificant in both the Calc and Non-calc strata (HR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.48-1.25, P=0.3, and HR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.61-1.17, P=0.31, respectively, P interaction=0.55). Conclusions The effect of G2-DES relative to G1-DES for TLR was not significantly different regardless of the presence or absence of lesion calcification.

Background— Long-term clinical outcomes of everolimus-eluting stent (EES) compared with sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) have not been evaluated fully yet, especially whether EES implantation could positively affect late adverse events reported after SES implantation occurring >1 year. Methods and Results— In this all-comer prospective multicenter randomized open-label trial, 3196 patients were assigned randomly to implant either EES (n=1596) or SES (n=1600). At 3 years, EES was noninferior to SES on the primary safety end point (all-cause death or myocardial infarction; 10.1% versus 11.5%; noninferiority P P =0.19). Cumulative incidence of definite stent thrombosis was low and was not significantly different between the 2 groups (0.5% versus 0.6%; P =0.81). There was no significant difference in the efficacy end point of target-lesion revascularization between the EES and SES groups (6.6% versus 7.9%; P =0.16). However, the cumulative incidence of target-lesion failure (cardiac death/target-vessel myocardial infarction/ischemia-driven target-lesion revascularization) was significantly lower in the EES group than in the SES group (8.8% versus 11.4%; P =0.01). By a landmark analysis at 1 year, the cumulative incidence of very late stent thrombosis and late target-lesion revascularization was not significantly different between the 2 groups (0.2% versus 0.2%; P =0.99 and 2.2% versus 2.9%; P =0.21, respectively). Conclusions— The efficacy and safety outcomes for this trial after EES implantation remained comparable with those after SES implantation through 3-year follow-up. However, improvement of clinical outcome after EES implantation compared with SES implantation was suggested by the significantly lower cumulative incidences of target-lesion failure, which has been the most widely used primary end point in the stent-versus-stent trials.

Background Distal embolization during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may deteriorate microvascular reperfusion in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Reperfusion at the coronary microvascular level is important for STEMI and culprit plaque is associated with distal embolization and microvascular reperfusion. ST-segment resolution (ST-R) in the electrocardiogram reflects microvascular reperfusion after primary PCI. Longitudinal extent of lipid pool assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) may predict the risk of failure of microvascular reperfusion after primary PCI. Methods and results This study consisted of 39 patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI within 24 h after the onset of chest pain. Immediately after thrombectomy, OCT was performed and length of lipid pool was measured. Microvascular reperfusion after primary PCI was assessed by ST-R, which was defined as >50% decrease in ST elevation at 1 h after primary PCI. There were 23 patients with ST-R and 16 patients without ST-R, with no significant difference in baseline clinical and angiographical variables between the 2 groups. Final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 3 flow was obtained in all of the patients. Peak creatine kinase was significantly higher in the ST-R (−) group than in the ST-R (+) group ( p = 0.01). Length of lipid pool was 10.1 ± 2.8 mm in the ST-R (−) group and 7.8 ± 3.2 mm in the ST-R (+) group ( p = 0.02). In receiver operating characteristics curve assessing the ability of length of lipid pool to predict ST-R, area under the curve was 0.74 ( p = 0.02). Length of lipid pool >9.0 mm best predicted the absence of ST-R with sensitivity 88% and specificity 78%. Conclusions These findings suggest that length of lipid pool estimated by OCT may predict microvascular no-reflow after primary PCI.

ObjectivesWe assessed angioscopic findings after everolimus-eluting stents (EES) implantation, compared with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES).BackgroundCoronary angioscopy (CAS) provides an opportunity to assess neointimal coverage over stent struts, thrombus, and plaque color by direct visualization. CAS is a useful tool for evaluating stent struts after drug-eluting stent implantation. Angioscopic findings after EES implantation have not been reported before.MethodsWe performed CAS in 23 patients who were treated with EES and 41 patients with SES. CAS was performed 8.5 months after stent implantation. We assessed neointimal coverage, thrombus, and plaque color. We classified neointimal coverage in 4 grades: grade 0=struts were completely exposed; grade 1=struts were visible with dull light reflexion; grade 2=there was no light reflexion from slightly visible struts; grade 3=struts were completely covered.ResultsThere was no significant difference in minimum, maximum, dominant grade of neointimal coverage, and heterogeneity index between EES and SES. Thrombus was less frequently observed in EES than SES (4% vs 29%, p=0.02). When we divided study patients into acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stable angina pectoris (SAP), there was a tendency toward less thrombus in EES than SES, in both ACS and SAP. Maximum color grade of the plaques was less advanced in EES than SES (p

Some studies have suggested that radial access (RA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces vascular complications and bleeding compared to femoral access (FA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the routine use of hemostatic devices and bleeding complications among RA, brachial access (BA), and FA. Between January 2015 and December 2015, 298 patients treated for PCI with RA were compared with 158 patients using BA and 206 patients using FA. The radial sheath was routinely removed with ADAPTY, the brachial sheath with BLEED SAFE, and the femoral sheath with Perclose ProGlide. In-hospital bleeding complications were investigated. Cardiogenic shock was most frequent in patients in the femoral group (RA 1.3%, BA 2.5%, FA 9.2%, p

Background No previous study has reported a comprehensive comparison of the chronic angioscopic findings after bare metal stent (BMS), and 1st- and 2nd-generation drug-eluting stents (DES). Methods and results The Multicenter Study on Intra-Coronary Angioscopy after Stent (MICASA) is a multicenter registry of coronary angioscopy. A total of 264 stents were observed by coronary angioscopy 1 year after PCI. There were 15 BMS, 90 1st-generation DES, and 159 2nd-generation DES. Neointimal coverage (NC) of the stent was classified into 4 grades from 0 (no coverage) to 3 (complete coverage). Yellow color (YC) of plaque at the stented segment was graded from 0 (white) to 3 (bright yellow). Minimum (Min-) and Maximum (Max-) NC grade were significantly lower with 1st- and 2nd-generation DES than with BMS. Although the Max-NC grade was similar, the Min-NC grade was significantly higher for 2nd-generation DES than for 1st-generation DES. Both the YC grade and the incidence of thrombus with 2nd-generation DES were lower than with the 1st-generation DES and were comparable to BMS. Multivariate analysis showed that low-density lipoprotein, 1st-generation DES, and acute coronary syndrome were independent factors for yellow plaque (YG2 or 3), and that hypertension and 1st-generation DES were independent factors for the incidence of thrombus. Conclusions Coronary angioscopy revealed more homogeneous coverage with white neointima and less thrombus after 2nd-generation DES as compared with 1st-generation DES. These findings may explain the favorable clinical outcomes observed for patients treated with 2nd-generation DES. (Circ J 2016; 80: 1916-1921).

Background Experimental studies have suggested that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors provide cardiovascular protective effects. We performed a randomized study to evaluate the effects of sitagliptin added on to the conventional therapy compared with conventional therapy alone (diet, exercise, and/or drugs, except for incretin-related agents) on the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery, a surrogate marker for the evaluation of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods and Findings We used a multicenter PROBE (prospective, randomized, open label, blinded endpoint) design. Individuals aged ≥30 y with T2DM (6.2% ≤ HbA1c < 9.4%) were randomly allocated to receive either sitagliptin (25 to 100 mg/d) or conventional therapy. Carotid ultrasound was performed at participating medical centers, and all parameters were measured in a core laboratory. Of the 463 enrolled participants with T2DM, 442 were included in the primary analysis (sitagliptin group, 222; conventional therapy group, 220). Estimated mean (± standard error) common carotid artery IMT at 24 mo of follow-up in the sitagliptin and conventional therapy groups was 0.827 ± 0.007 mm and 0.837 ± 0.007 mm, respectively, with a mean difference of −0.009 mm (97.2% CI −0.028 to 0.011, p = 0.309). HbA1c level at 24 mo was significantly lower with sitagliptin than with conventional therapy (6.56% ± 0.05% versus 6.72% ± 0.05%, p = 0.008; group mean difference −0.159, 95% CI −0.278 to −0.041). Episodes of serious hypoglycemia were recorded only in the conventional therapy group, and the rate of other adverse events was not different between the two groups. As it was not a placebo-controlled trial and carotid IMT was measured as a surrogate marker of atherosclerosis, there were some limitations of interpretation. Conclusions In the PROLOGUE study, there was no evidence that treatment with sitagliptin had an additional effect on the progression of carotid IMT in participants with T2DM beyond that achieved with conventional treatment. Trial Registration University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry UMIN000004490, In a randomized controlled trial, Koichi Node and colleagues assess the efficacy of sitagliptin in limiting atherosclerosis among patients over 29 years of age living in Japan., Author Summary Why Was This Study Done? Translational research suggests that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which are drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), may prevent cardiovascular disease to a greater extent than other T2DM drugs. However, recently published large clinical trials showed no additional efficacy for DPP-4 inhibitors beyond that expected for the drugs’ glycemic control. Possibly these studies showed no benefit to cardiovascular health because they assessed cardiovascular mortality and other relatively rare outcomes. Change in carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a simple, noninvasive method to assess atherosclerosis, an intermediate and more common condition that can precede cardiovascular disease. What Did the Researchers Do and Find? We conducted a trial to evaluate whether DPP-4 inhibitors affect atherosclerosis in people with T2DM. In all, 463 participants recruited at 48 medical centers were randomly divided into two groups and treated with sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, or other conventional drugs for two years. Carotid IMT was evaluated with ultrasonography in a blinded manner. We found that annual changes in carotid IMT were not significantly different between the two groups. On the other hand, the decrease in HbA1c and in the incidence of hypoglycemia with sitagliptin were superior to conventional therapy. The rate of other adverse events was not different between the two groups. What Do These Findings Mean? These findings provide no evidence that sitagliptin slows the progression of carotid intima-media thickening in participants with T2DM to a greater extent than conventional drugs. As some of the conventional anti-T2DM drugs have shown anti-atherosclerotic effects in clinical trials, the present findings do not mean that sitagliptin does not possess anti-atherosclerotic properties in participants with T2DM. Importantly, however, sitagliptin is useful for controlling hyperglycemia for clinical setting.

Purpose: Several studies have reported gender difference in presentation, management and outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In this study, we focused the impact of age on gender difference in mortality after AMI. Methods: Between July 2012 and March 2014, 3283 patients were admitted to the 28 hospitals participating to the J-MINUET group within 48 hours after the onset of AMI. AMI was diagnosed by universal definition (type 1 or type 2). Patients were divided into 5 strata according to their age: those with age Results: There were 813 women (24.8%). Women were significantly older than men (74.5±11.8 years vs 66.6±12.3 years, P Conclusions: Women had higher in-hospital mortality than men after AMI even in the contemporary troponin era. However, their high mortality was mostly explained by their advanced age.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the gender-specific mortality after acute myocardial infarction in those aged70 years versus ≥ 70 years. The present study consisted of 2,677 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction who had undergone coronary angiography within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 1,810 patients70 years old and 867 patients ≥ 70 years old. Women were older and had a greater incidence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus and a lower incidence of current smoking and previous myocardial infarction in both groups. The in-hospital mortality rate was significantly greater in women ≥ 70 years old age than in men ≥ 70 years old (16.2% vs 9.3%, respectively; p = 0.003) but was comparable between women and men in patients70 years old (5.7% vs 4.9%, respectively; p = 0.59). On multivariate analysis, the association between female gender and in-hospital mortality in patients ≥ 70 years old remained significant (odds ratio 1.78, 95% confidential interval 1.05 to 3.00), but the gender difference was not observed in patients70 years old (odds ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval 0.53 to 2.24). In conclusion, female gender was associated with in-hospital mortality after acute myocardial infarction in patients ≥ 70 years old but not in patients70 years old.

Aim Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients has been assigned a low-grade recommendation in current resuscitation guidelines. This study compared the outcomes of IHCA and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with ECLS. Methods A total of 77 patients were treated with ECLS. Baselines characteristics and outcomes were compared for 38 IHCA and 39 OCHA patients. Results The time interval between collapse and starting ECLS was significantly shorter after IHCA than after OHCA (25 (21–43)min versus 59 (45–65)min, p p =0.03) and 30-day survival (34% versus 13%, p =0.03) were higher for IHCA compared with OHCA patients. IHCA patients had a higher rate of favourable neurological outcome compared to OHCA patients, but the difference was not statistically significant (26% versus 10%, p =0.07). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed improved 30-day and 1-year survival for IHCA patients treated with ECLS compared to OHCA patients who had ECLS. However, multivariate stepwise Cox regression model analysis indicated no difference in 30-day (odds ratio 0.94 (95% confidence interval 0.68–1.27), p =0.67) and 1-year survival (0.99 (0.73–1.33), p =0.95). Conclusion CPR with ECLS led to more favourable patient outcomes after IHCA compared with OHCA in our patient group. The difference in outcomes for ECLS after IHCA and OHCA disappeared after adjusting for patient factors and the time delay in starting ECLS.

Aims Conflicting data exist about the safety of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Previous studies have reported delayed neointimal proliferation over SES with high incidence of adhering thrombus. This study was undertaken to assess the neointimal coverage and thrombus formation after SES implantation between patients with STEMI and those with stable angina pectoris (SAP). Methods and results We studied 23 patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with SES and 18 patients with SAP who were treated with SES. Coronary angioscopic examination was performed 8.1+/-2.4 months after PCI. Neointimal coverage of the stent was classified into four grades (grade 0 to 3). Uncovered stent strut was defined as grade 0 or 1. All the patients with STEMI and 94% of patients with SAP had uncovered stent struts. There was no significant difference in minimum, maximum, and dominant neointimal coverage grade between STEMI and SAP. 96% of patients with STEMI and all the patients with SAP showed heterogeneous neointimal coverage. Thrombus adhering to uncovered stent struts was observed in eight patients after STEMI and in four patients after SAP (35% vs. 22%, p=0.38). There was no significant difference in the maximum colour grade of the plaques between STEMI and SAP (2.1+/-0.8 vs. 1.8+/-0.9, p=0.33). Most thrombus was observed at the site of yellow plaques (83%). Conclusions There was no significant difference in the neointimal coverage and thrombus formation between STEMI and SAP.

A 69-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man were admitted to our hospital after successful resuscitation of out-of hospital cardiac arrest. In the first case, electrocardiogram showed mild ST-segment elevation in leads V3-V5. Coronary angiography did not show any obstructive coronary artery disease, and left ventriculography showed apical ballooning of the left ventricular chamber. She was diagnosed as having the classic form of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy. In the second case, electrocardiogram did not show ST-segment elevation in any lead. Coronary angiography showed no coronary artery disease and left ventriculography showed basal ballooning of the left ventricular chamber. He was diagnosed as having the variant form of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy. In both cases, left ventricular function returned to normal, but they died of multiple organ failure. In conclusion, cardiologists should recognize that takotsubo cardiomyopathy can occur even after successful resuscitation of cardiac arrest. Early diagnosis and appropriate intensive care are essential in these critically ill patients.

A 59-year-old man had a witnessed collapse while driving a car. Approximately 10 min after the call to emergency services, paramedics arrived and initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The first electrocardiogram (ECG) obtained by paramedics showed pulseless electrical activity. Review of his prehospital records documented that he experienced approximately 13 min of no flow or low flow before return of spontaneous circulation. On admission, he was still comatose with midrange dilated pupils. Electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm, ST segment elevation in lead aVR, and ST segment depression in leads I, II, and V4-6. Coronary angiography showed 99% narrowing of the left main coronary artery (LMCA), but did not show any disease in the right coronary artery. A bare-metal stent was placed in the LMCA, and postdilated at 20 atmospheres. Immediately after return to the coronary care unit, therapeutic hypothermia was initiated. Hypothermia with a target temperature of 33.0 degrees C was maintained for 30 h. During this period, no significant hemodynamic instability occurred under intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) and intravenous catecholamines. Subsequently, he was slowly rewarmed at a rate of 0.3 degrees C/h up to 36.0 degrees C. Next day, the neurological condition improved and IABP was stopped. Creatine kinase increased to 2182 IU/l. Stent thrombosis did not occur despite the ad hoc loading of antiplatelet drugs. Follow-up echocardiography 9 days later showed mild hypokinesia of the anterior wall with an ejection fraction of 77%. He was discharged with no neurologic complications 18 days later.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aortic valve replacement on electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with aortic valve stenosis. Methods Serial 12-lead ECGs were obtained in 15 patients with aortic valve stenosis who underwent aortic valve replacement. Three ECG indexes for left ventricular hypertrophy were manually measured in each ECG: Sokolow-Lyon index (sum of S wave in V 1 and R wave in V 5 ), Cornell voltage index (sum of R wave in aVL and S wave in V 3 ), and Gubner index (sum of R wave in I and S wave in III). Results After aortic valve replacement, Sokolow-Lyon index gradually decreased during 2 years (51.1 ± 17.9 to 34.8 ± 12.5 mm, P P P 6 was found in 14 patients (93%) before aortic valve replacement. It resolved in 9 of 14 patients during 2 years. Conclusions Electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy gradually resolved after aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic valve stenosis.

Aim To investigate the impact of a history of diabetes mellitus on the neurologic outcome in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest of cardiac origin treated with mild hypothermia. Methods A prospective observational study was performed between September 2003 and July 2008. Eighty comatose survivors of cardiac arrest of cardiac origin were treated with mild hypothermia. Neurologic outcome at the time of hospital discharge, 30-day survival, and complications were assessed. Results Twenty-four of the 80 patients (30%) had a history of diabetes. The rate of favorable neurologic outcome was significantly lower in diabetic (17%) than in nondiabetic patients (46%) ( p =0.01). The rate of 30-day survival was lower in diabetic (33%) than in nondiabetic patients (54%), but the difference was not significant ( p =0.10). Multivariate analysis suggested that a history of diabetes was an independent predictor of unfavorable neurologic outcome (odds ratio 7.00, 95% confidence interval 1.42–46.19, p =0.03), but not for 30-day survival. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of complications. Conclusion A history of diabetes is associated with poor neurologic outcome in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest treated with mild hypothermia.

Background Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy has been gradually recognized worldwide. However, medications for the prevention remain not to be investigated in part because the precise mechanism is unclear. We sought to examine medications before the onset of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, and to prove the limitation of these medications for the prevention. Methods and results This study consisted of 21 patients with tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy who received one or more medications for hypertension or suspected angina pectoris. Each patient was assessed with history, medications, coronary angiography and left ventriculography. All patients but 1 were female, and age ranged 41 to 87 years (73±11 years). Twelve patients received calcium channel blockers, 7 patients received nitrates, and one patient received beta blocker. Three patients received angiotensin coverting enzyme inhibitors, and 4 patients received angiotensin II receptor blockers. One patient died of serious pneumonia, but there was no patient who died of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy itself. During the 3 year follow-up, one patient receiving angiotensin receptor blocker had the recurrence of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy due to recurrent epileptic seizure. Conclusions Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy can occur despite treatment with calcium channel blockers, nitrates or beta-blockers, suggesting limitation of these medications to prevent tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy.

The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of electrocardiogram on admission to predict short-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with left main coronary artery (LMCA).Electrocardiogram was obtained on admission in 41 patients with AMI associated with LMCA who underwent reperfusion therapy. Electrocardiographic findings were compared between nonsurvivors and survivors.There were 24 nonsurvivors and 17 survivors during 30-day follow-up. Nonsurvivors had ST-segment elevation in both leads aVR and aVL (54% vs 18%, P.05), left anterior fascicular block (83% vs 41%, P.05), and right bundle-branch block (54% vs 18%, P.05) more frequently, and ST-segment depression in lead V(5) (17% vs 59%, P.05) less frequently than survivors among patients with AMI associated with LMCA.Our data suggested that electrocardiogram on admission might be useful to predict short-term prognosis in patients with AMI associated with LMCA.

The influence of admission hyperglycemia and diabetes on short- and long-term mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) era was investigated. From 1996 to 2003, a total of 802 consecutive patients with AMI underwent coronary angiography. Primary PCI was performed in 724 patients (90%). Three-year mortality curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to identify independent predictors of 30-day mortality and mortality from 30 days to 3 years. There were 261 patients with admission hyperglycemia (admission glucoseor=11.1 mmol/L) and 212 patients with diabetes. Admission hyperglycemia was associated with a significantly higher 30-day mortality rate (8.4% vs 2.4%, p0.001). However, there was no significant difference in 30-day mortality rates between diabetic and nondiabetic patients (5.7% vs 3.9%, p=0.29). Conversely, diabetes significantly increased mortality from 30 days to 3 years (10.0% vs 5.5%, p=0.03), but admission hyperglycemia did not (8.4% vs 5.9%, p=0.19). Multivariate analysis showed that hyperglycemia was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR] 1.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13 to 2.61, p=0.01), but diabetes was not (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.27, p=0.42). Diabetes was independently associated with mortality from 30 days to 3 years (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.97, p=0.04), but hyperglycemia had a neutral effect (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.36, p=0.92). In conclusion, in the PCI era, admission hyperglycemia was associated with short-term mortality, whereas diabetes increased long-term mortality after convalescence in patients with AMI. Admission hyperglycemia and diabetes should be treated as 2 distinct disease states.

Lack of contact between stent struts and underlying vessel surface, described as stent malapposition, is observed more frequently after implantation of drug-eluting stent (DES) than that of bare-metal stent. Several studies have suggested the potential relationship between the stent malapposition and late stent thrombosis (LST). On the coronary angiography, stent malapposition is recognized as peri-stent staining (PSS) that is contrast staining outside of the stent contour. Intravascular imaging modalities, including intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, can detect less extensive stent malapposition by their high resolution and the ability to provide the cross-sectional images of the vessel. Coronary angioscopy, the intravascular imaging of a different dimension, permits the direct visualization of the intimal surface and provides an opportunity to understand pathogenesis and clinical implication of PSS. Pathological examination showed hypersensitivities mainly composed of inflammation at the site of stent malapposition. Coronary angioscopy shows yellow plaque and thrombus at PSS site, suggesting underlying inflammation and high thrombogenicity. These findings support the relation of PSS to LST. Careful medications, including dual antiplatelet therapy and intensive statin therapy, should be warranted for prevention of LST in patients with PSS.

Background: Previous study showed that number of yellow plaque in a coronary artery was associated with future risk of acute coronary syndrome. However, impact of intrastent yellow plaque has not fully understood. Purpose: This study was investigated to assess the association of the grade of intrastent yellow plaque observed by coronary angioscopy at late phase after drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation and clinical outcome. Methods: This study consisted of 97 patients tread with DES implantation (39 patients with sirolimus-eluting stents ; 9 patients with paclitaxel-eluting stents; 24 patients with everolimus-eluting stents; 6 patients with zotalolimus-eluting stents; 19 patients with biolimus-eluting stents ). Coronary angioscopy was performed 8 months after DES implantation. The plaque color at stent segment was grade as 0 (white), 1 (light yellow), 2 (yellow), 3 (bright yellow). The maximum color grade of the plaques in stent segment was assessed. We divided these patients into 2 groups (53 patients with yellow plaque grade 2 or 3; 44 patients with yellow plaque grade 0 or 1). We evaluated the incidence of revascularization, such as percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft. Results: Kaplan-Meier curves for 7-year Revascularization free rate are shown in Figure. Revascularization free rate was tend to be higher in patients with yellow grade 0/1 than those with yellow grade 2/3. Conclusion: The presence of intrastent yellow plaque at late phase after stent implantation might be associated with the future revascularization in coronary artery disease.

This report describes a case of atrioventricular crosstalk during a stimulation threshold test. This phenomenon was likely due to the accidental connection between the atrial and ventricular stylets. Electrocardiologists should recognize atrioventricular crosstalk during a stimulation threshold test to avoid repositioning the atrial lead unnecessarily or inducing ventricular arrhythmia.
