- Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and prognostic impact of high bleeding risk (HBR), as determined by the Academic Research Consortium HBR criteria, in real-world patients undergoing left main (LM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). LM PCI is often reserved for patients at increased risk for periprocedural adverse events. Patients at HBR represent a relevant percentage of this cohort, but their outcomes after LM PCI are still poorly investigated. All patients undergoing LM PCI between 2014 and 2017 at a tertiary care center were prospectively enrolled. Patients were defined as having HBR if they met at least 1 major or 2 minor Academic Research Consortium HBR criteria. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke at 12 months. Among 619 enrolled patients, 55.3% were at HBR. The rate of the primary endpoint was 4-fold higher in patients at HBR compared with those without HBR (20.5% vs 4.9%; HR: 4.43; 95% CI: 2.31-8.48), driven by an increased risk for all-cause death (HR: 3.88; 95% CI: 1.88-8.02) and MI (HR: 6.18; 95% CI: 1.83-20.9). Rates of target vessel or lesion revascularization and stent thrombosis were comparable in the 2 groups. Bleeding occurred more frequently in patients at HBR (HR: 3.77; 95% CI: 1.83-7.76). Consistent findings were observed after Cox multivariable regression adjustment. Among patients undergoing LM PCI, those with HBR are at increased risk for all-cause death, MI, and bleeding. Conversely, rates of repeat revascularization and stent thrombosis were comparable, suggesting frailty and comorbidities as primary causes of worse outcomes in patients at HBR.

- Abstract
Abstract Background Kounis syndrome is a systemic complication following an allergic reaction, presenting with coronary artery spasm or thrombosis and occasionally with stent thrombosis that can have fatal outcome. Objectives Heparins can induce allergic reactions via tissue antigenicity, heparin induced thrombocytopenia and contact system-activating effects of contaminants but allergy bivalirudin has not been reported so far. Methods Herein, we describe a patient with fatal acute coronary in-stent thrombosis following an allergic reaction soon after an intra-arterial heparin dose and intravenous administration of bivalirudin during angioplasty. Results The patient received intense myocardial infarction protocol treatment including angioplasty and defibillation together with antiallergic therapy but despite all of these efforts and measures, he succumbed 2 h later. Conclusions Significant suspicion should be raised that life saving drugs such as heparin and bivalirudin could join forces with concurrent medication acting as antigens and induce fulminant and fatal stent thrombosis as a manifestation of Kounis syndrome [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Introduction:The predictive value of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is well described in Caucasians, but understudied in minorities.Hypothesis:We hypophesized, that there were differences in prevalence and prognostic impact of hsCRP elevation according to race/ethnicity.Methods:We included all patients undergoing PCI between 2010-2017 in a single tertiary center, excluding those with acute coronary syndrome, cancer and hsCRP >10 mg/L. Race/Ethnicity was self-reported. hsCRP ?2 mg/L during index PCI was considered elevated. The association between hsCRP elevation and 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE), consisting of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target lesion revascularization was assessed using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox models, adjusting for sex, age, diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, prior coronary artery bypass graft, peripheral artery disease and hemoglobin at baseline.Results:The analysis included 2,193 Asians, 5,592 Caucasians, 2,910 Hispanics and 1,202 African-Americans (total n= 11,843). Prevalence of hsCRP elevation differed widely between subgroups (p<0.01) and was highest in African-Americans and lowest in Asians (Figure 1). Comparing patients with normal vs. elevated hsCRP, 1-year rates of MACE were 7.6% vs. 12.9% in Asians, 6.6% vs. 9.7% in Caucasians, 8.3% vs. 11.3% in Hispanics and 6.0% vs. 13.4% in African-Americans, respectively. After adjustment, the association of elevated hsCRP and MACE was not significant in Asians (HR 1.33, 0.98-1.78 95% CI), moderate in Caucasians (HR 1.4, 1.12-1.76 95% CI), higher in Hispanics (HR 1.72, 1.21-2.5 95% CI) and highest in African-Americans (HR 2.35, 1.42-3.89 95% CI).Conclusions:hsCRP elevation varies between races/ethnicities, and in Hispanics and African-Americans its prevalence and prognostic impact is the highest.

- Abstract
Introduction:Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are strongly associated with coronary risk in the general population. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common co-morbidity in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the impact of high LDL-C in these subjects remains unclear. The present study aims to investigate the relation between LDL-C and adverse events after PCI according to the presence of CKD.Hypothesis:The prognostic relevance of LDL-C on cardiovascular outcomes is influenced by the presence of concomitant CKD.Methods:Data from all PCI procedures between 2009 and 2017 in a single tertiary center was prospectively collected. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73m2. Exclusion criteria were end-stage renal failure (requiring dialysis or estimated glomerular filtration rate <15 mL/min/1.73m2) and conditions associated with pathologically lowered LDL-C (body mass index <18.5 kg/m2, ejection fraction <30%, and neoplastic disease). Baseline LDL-C levels were classified as either high (?90 mg/dl) or low (<90 mg/dl). The primary endpoint of interest was myocardial infarction (MI) at 1 year.Results:A total of 12,823 subjects were included, of which 3,253 (25.4%) had CKD. High baseline LDL-C was present in 22.7% and 27.6% of CKD and non-CKD patients, respectively. Overall, patients with high LDL-C levels experienced higher rates of MI at 1 year (Figure). However, while the risk of MI was significantly increased in non-CKD patients with high LDL-C as compared to low LDL-C (adjusted HR: 1.78 [95% CI, 1.22-2.60]; p=0.003), no such trend was observed among CKD patients (adjusted HR: 1.40 [0.78-2.49]; p=0.26).Conclusions:The impact of LDL-C levels on the risk of MI differs between CKD and non-CKD patients. Prognostic implications of high LDL-C may be attenuated in CKD patients undergoing PCI.

- Abstract
Introduction:Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after PCI predicts worse cardiovascular outcomes. Physiologic mechanisms, genetic predisposition and socioeconomic disparities related to ethnicity may contribute to the occurrence of CI-AKI.Hypothesis:We evaluated the risk of CI-AKI after PCI according to ethnicity and its subsequent impact on 1-year mortality.Methods:Patients undergoing PCI at our Institution from 2009-2018 were grouped by ethnicity into White (n=7,942), Asian (n=2,604), Hispanic (n=1,431) and African American (n=1,748). CI-AKI was defined as a peri-procedural creatinine increase of >0.3 mg/dL or >50% compared to baseline. The association between ethnicity and CI-AKI was assessed using logistic regression. A sensitivity analysis was performed by including only patients with baseline CKD, defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2. The risk of 1-year mortality after CI-AKI was evaluated with multivariate Cox model.Results:The rate of CI-AKI was 5.8% in the overall population. Compared to White patients, the risk of CI-AKI was higher in African Americans (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.19-1.76; p<0.001), lower in Asians (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.65-0.98; p=0.03) and similar in Hispanics (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.73-1.19; p=0.57). However, after adjustment for confounders, the association between ethnicity and CI-AKI was largely attenuated (Figure). Findings of sensitivity analysis in CKD patients were consistent with those in the general population. Overall, 1-year mortality was increased in patients who experienced CI-AKI (adjusted HR 1.92, 95% CI 1.39-2.66; p<0.001), but this risk was not uniform among the different subgroups (White: p<0.001, African American: p=0.05, Hispanic: p=0.06, Asian: p=0.37) (Figure).Conclusions:The risk of CI-AKI after PCI varies according to ethnicity, however, this might be explained by differences in risk factors observed in each group. The occurrence of CI-AKI is associated with an increased risk of mortality at 1 year.

- Abstract
Introduction:Cessation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may increase the risk of recurrent ischemic events. While the incidence and patterns of stopping DAPT have been reported to vary between women and men, the clinical impact of DAPT cessation after PCI according to gender remain unknown.Hypothesis:We sought to evaluate the incidence of DAPT cessation during the first year after PCI in men and women and its association with clinical outcomes.Methods:Two prospective multicenter PCI registries evaluating the everolimus-eluting stent were pooled. The population was stratified into men (n=2,319) and women (n=1,863). DAPT cessation was defined as any discontinuation lasting >3 days. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE; composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) or stent thrombosis). A multivariate Cox regression model with DAPT cessation entered as a time-updated variable was used to account only for events occurring after cessation up to 1 year.Results:Out of 4,182 patients, 477 had a DAPT cessation within 1 year of PCI. Although rates of DAPT cessation at 1 year were similar between men and women, the cessations tended to occur earlier in women (Figure). Women with DAPT cessation had a marginally significant increased risk of MACE compared to women without [adjusted HR 2.12, 95% CI 0.99-4.56]. Conversely, no association between risk of MACE and DAPT cessation was observed in men [adjusted HR 1.32, 95% CI 0.54-3.24]. There was no difference in the risk for cardiac death after DAPT cessations in either gender, however, the risk of MI after cessation tended to be increased in women [adjusted HR 2.25, 95% CI 0.91-5.58] (Figure).Conclusions:Occurrence of DAPT cessation within 1 year of PCI might be associated with higher risk of adverse events in women. Understanding patterns of DAPT cessation and focusing on their prevention, particularly in women, will help improve outcomes after PCI.

- Abstract
Introduction:Efficacy of drug-eluting stent has been assessed in several trials with consistent effect between genders. However, patients undergoing PCI for left main (LM) stenosis tend to experience high rates of recurrent events, especially in anatomically complex cases. As women are generally underrepresented in most trials, gender differences in this high-risk population undergoing LM PCI are not well established.Hypothesis:We sought to evaluate predictors of patient- and device-oriented outcomes at 1 year in men and women receiving unprotected LM PCI.Methods:We included patients undergoing LM PCI at our institution from 2009 to 2017. Those with prior CABG, STEMI on presentation, or treated with bare metal stents were excluded. We assessed the predictors of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; the composite of death, myocardial infarction or stroke) and target vessel revascularization (TVR) at 1 year separately for men and women, using multivariate Cox regression model.Results:Of the 641 patients undergoing unprotected LM PCI, 216 (34%) were female. Among women, the strongest predictor of MACCE was chronic kidney disease, followed by atrial fibrillation, NSTEMI on presentation and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (by decrease of 10%). In men, NSTEMI on presentation was the strongest predictor of MACCE followed by bifurcation lesions, anemia, and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (Table). In stent restenosis was the only predictor of 1-year TVR in both men (HR 2.22, 95% CI 1.10-4.48; p=0.026) and women (HR 7.47, 95% CI 2.18-25.57; p=0.001).Conclusions:Men and women undergoing unprotected LM PCI with drug-eluting stent present common as well as distinctive predictors of MACCE at 1 year. In-stent restenosis constitutes the only independent predictor of TVR after LM PCI in both genders.
