Background: Although imaging examination to exclude coronary artery disease (CAD) is an indispensable step for a definite diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome (TTS), this step may be overlooked in a substantial proportion of patients with secondary TTS admitted to a tertiary hospital. However, the clinical profiles and outcomes of these patients with "possible TTS" have rarely been investigated. Methods: Among 420 consecutive TTS patients with characteristic transient ventricular ballooning on repeated echocardiography, 244 patients (58.1%) who underwent an imaging study for CAD were diagnosed with "definite TTS," whereas the remaining 176 were designated with "possible TTS." Results: Overall, hypoxia (67.6%) and dyspnea (55.5%) were predominant presentations. The possible group was characterized by higher prevalence of male gender (46.6% vs. 35.2%, p = 0.019), secondary TTS (97.2% vs. 86.5%, p < 0.001), cancer (43.2% vs. 29.1%, p = 0.003), sepsis (46.0% vs. 32.0%, p = 0.003), and nonapical ballooning pattern (30.7% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.001) with less common ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram (18.8% vs. 34.0%, p = 0.001). The possible group showed higher frequency of mechanical ventilation (56.2% vs. 40.2%, p = 0.001), pulmonary edema (72.2% vs. 61.5%, p = 0.023), and shock management (70.5% vs. 54.1%, p = 0.001) with similar in-hospital mortality (17.2% vs. 17.0%, p = 0.964). Conclusions: In real-world clinical practice, coronary evaluation for strict diagnosis of TTS is not frequently feasible. Addition of the possible group without coronary evaluation to the clinical spectrum of TTS would be helpful for fair estimation of clinical implication of TTS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is associated with high mortality and morbidity due to a large area of jeopardized myocardium. However, the optimal revascularization strategy for patients with LMCA disease and left ventricular dysfunction is still unclear.Objectives: This study sought to examine long-term comparative outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) according to the severity of left ventricular dysfunction.Methods: The authors evaluated a total of 3,488 patients with LMCA disease who underwent CABG (n = 1,355) or PCI (n = 2,133) from the IRIS-MAIN (Interventional Research Incorporation Society-Left MAIN Revascularization) registry. Left ventricular function was categorized according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as normal function (LVEF ≥55%), mild dysfunction (LVEF ≥45% to <55%), moderate dysfunction (LVEF ≥35% to <45%), or severe dysfunction (LVEF <35%). The primary outcome was a composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke.Results: Among the overall patient population, 2,641 (75.7%) patients had normal LVEF and 403 (11.6%), 260 (7.5%), and 184 (5.3%) had mild, moderate, and severe left ventricular dysfunction at baseline, respectively. Compared with CABG, PCI was associated with a higher adjusted risk of primary outcomes in patients with moderate (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17 to 4.28) or severe (HR: 2.45; 95% CI: 1.27 to 4.73) dysfunction. In contrast, PCI and CABG had similar risks of the primary outcomes in patients with normal (HR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.07) or mild (HR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.63 to 2.17) dysfunction (p for interaction = 0.004).Conclusions: In the revascularization of LMCA disease, PCI was associated with an inferior primary composite outcome of death, MI, or stroke compared with CABG in patients with moderate or severe left ventricular dysfunction. However, the risk for the primary outcome was comparable between PCI and CABG in those with normal or mild left ventricular dysfunction.

- Abstract
Background There are still limited data about the differential effect of sex on long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease. This extended follow-up study of the MAIN-COMPARE (Ten-Year Outcomes of Stents Versus Coronary-Artery Bypass Grafting for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) registry evaluated clinical outcomes beyond 10 years. Methods and Results Of 2240 patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (PCI=1102 and CABG=1138), all-cause mortality, the composite of death, Q-wave myocardial infarction, or stroke, and target vessel revascularization were separately evaluated in both sexes. Of 2240 patients, 631 (28.2%) were women and 1609 (71.8%) were men. Women had lower 10-year incidences of death and serious composite outcomes than men. The adjusted 10-year risks of adverse outcomes were similar in men. However, the adjusted 10-year risks were different according to a prespecified period in women. In the short-term (0-1 year) period, PCI had a significantly lower risk for serious composite outcomes (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.41; 95% CI, 0.19-0.91; P =0.03) compared with CABG. The adjusted risks for death and serious composite outcomes were significantly higher after PCI than after CABG, during the midterm (1-5 years) period (death; adjusted HR, 3.99; 95% CI, 2.01-7.92; P <0.001 and composite outcome; adjusted HR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.59-5.39; P =0.001). Beyond 5 years, adjusted risks were similar after PCI and CABG in women. Conclusions In this 10-year extended follow-up study of patients undergoing left main coronary artery revascularization, we observed a time-dependent impact of sex on the long-term outcomes after PCI and CABG, especially in women, with significant interactions. However, these results warrant confirmation on larger series of studies. Registration URl: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT02791412.

- Abstract
More evidence is required with respect to the comparative effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in contemporary clinical practice. This prospective observational registry-based study compared the outcomes of 6,647 patients with multivessel disease who underwent PCI with second-generation DES (n = 3,858) or CABG (n = 2,789) between January 2006 and June 2018 and for whom follow-up data were available for at least 2 to 13 years (median 4.8). The primary outcome was a composite of death, spontaneous myocardial infarction, or stroke. Baseline differences were adjusted using propensity scores and inverse probability weighting. In the overall cohort, there were no significant between-group differences in the adjusted risks for the primary composite outcome (hazard ratio [HR] for PCI vs CABG 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.86 to 1.25, p = 0.73) and all-cause mortality (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.20, p = 0.68). This relative treatment effect on the primary outcome was similar in patients with diabetes (HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.46, p = 0.25) and without diabetes (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.22, p = 0.67) (p for interaction = 0.24). The adjusted risk of the primary outcome was significantly greater after PCI than after CABG in patients with left main involvement (HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.90, p = 0.044), but not in those without left main involvement (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.16, p = 0.56) (p = 0.03 for interaction). In this prospective real-world long-term registry, we observed that the risk for the primary composite of death, spontaneous myocardial infarction, or stroke was similar between PCI with contemporary DES and CABG., Competing Interests: Disclosures Dr. Duk-Woo Park reports grants from Daiichi-Sankyo, ChongKunDang Pharm, and Daewoong Pharm; personal fees from Edwards; grants and personal fees from Abbott Vascular; and personal fees from Medtronic, all outside the submitted work.

- Abstract
Background: Female subjects have poorer outcomes in left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease compared with male subjects. However, limited information is available on the long-term prognostic impact of sex and sex-treatment interactions in patients with LMCA disease undergoing coronary revascularization., Objectives: The goal of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of sex and related differential outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in LMCA disease., Methods: The extended PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery versus Angioplasty Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients with Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) trial evaluated the >10-year clinical outcomes in patients with LMCA disease randomized to undergo PCI with drug-eluting stents (n = 300) or CABG (n = 300). The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization) at 10 years., Results: Of the 600 patients, 459 (76.5%) were male. The 10-year rates of MACCE were similar between male and female subjects in the overall cohort (27.3% vs 27.0%; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.06; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.70-1.59), the PCI arm (30.6% vs 27.1%; aHR: 1.19; 95% CI: 0.69-2.05), and the CABG arm (24.0% vs 26.9%; aHR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.53-1.62). The 10-year risks for MACCE did not significantly differ between PCI and CABG in both male (aHR: 1.37; 95% CI: 0.95-1.97) and female (aHR: 1.07; 95% CI: 0.56-2.07) subjects. There was no significant sex-treatment interaction regarding the adjusted risk of MACCE at 10 years ( P for interaction = 0.52)., Conclusions: In this 10-year follow-up of the PRECOMBAT trial, there was no sex-related impact on the long-term risk of MACCE after PCI and CABG for LMCA disease.

- Abstract
Background The long-term impact of newly discovered, asymptomatic abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with significant coronary artery disease is limited. Methods and Results Between January 2006 and December 2009, ABI was evaluated in 2424 consecutive patients with no history of claudication or peripheral artery disease who had significant coronary artery disease. We previously reported a 3-year result; therefore, the follow-up period was extended. The primary end point was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke over 7 years. Of the 2424 patients with significant coronary artery disease, 385 had an abnormal ABI (ABI ≤0.9 or ≥1.4). During the follow-up period, the rate of the primary outcome was significantly higher in the abnormal ABI group than in the normal ABI group ( P <0.001). The abnormal ABI group had a significantly higher risk of composite of all-cause death/MI/stroke than the normal ABI group, after adjustment with multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis (hazard ratio [HR], 2.07; 95% CI, 1.67-2.57; P <0.001) and propensity score-matched analysis (HR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.49-2.60; P <0.001). In addition, an abnormal ABI was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death, MI, and stroke, but not repeat revascularization. Conclusions Among patients with significant coronary artery disease, asymptomatic abnormal ABI was associated with sustained and increased incidence of composite of all-cause death/MI/stroke, all-cause death, MI, and stroke during extended follow-up over 7 years.

- Abstract
Background The long-term prognostic effect of the SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score (SS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease is controversial. Methods and Results In the PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery Versus Angioplasty Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients With Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) trial, 600 patients with left main coronary artery disease were randomized to undergo PCI with drug-eluting stents (n=300) or CABG (n=300). We compared 10-year outcomes after PCI and CABG according to SS categories and evaluated the predictive value of SS in each revascularization arm. The primary outcome was a major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular event (composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization) at 10 years. Among 566 patients with valid SS measurement at baseline, 240 (42.4%) had low SS, 200 (35.3%) had intermediate SS, and 126 (22.3%) had high SS. The 10-year rates of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events were not significantly different between PCI and CABG in low (21.6% versus 22.2%, P =0.97), intermediate (31.8% versus 22.2%; P =0.13), and high SS (46.2% versus 35.7%; P =0.31) ( P -for-interaction=0.46). There were no significant interactions between SS categories and revascularization modalities for death ( P =0.92); composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke ( P =0.87); and target-vessel revascularization ( P =0.06). Higher SS categories were associated with higher risks for major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events in the PCI arm but not in the CABG arm. Conclusions Ten-year clinical outcomes between PCI and CABG were not significantly different according to the SS. The SS was predictive of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events after PCI but not after CABG. Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03871127.

- Abstract
Background Several trials reported differential outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents (DES) and coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) for multivessel coronary disease according to the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM). However, it is not well recognized how DM status affects very-long-term (10-year) outcomes after DES and CABG for left main coronary artery disease. Methods and Results In the PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery versus Angioplasty using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients with Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) trial, patients with LMCA were randomly assigned to undergo PCI with sirolimus-eluting stents (n=300) or CABG (n=300). The primary outcome was the incidence of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE; a composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, stroke, or ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization). Outcomes were examined in patients with (n=192) and without (n=408) medically treated diabetes. The follow-up was extended to at least 10 years for all patients (median, 11.3 years). The 10-year rates of MACCE were not significantly different between DES and CABG in patients with DM (36.3% versus 26.7%, respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 1.35; 95% CI, 0.83-2.19; P =0.23) and without DM (25.3% versus 22.9%, respectively; HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.79-1.67; P =0.48) ( P -for-interaction=0.48). There were no significant between-group differences in composite of death, MI, or stroke, and all-cause mortality, regardless of DM status. TVR rates were consistently higher after DES than CABG. Conclusions In this 10-year extended follow-up of PRECOMBAT, we found no significant difference between DES and CABG with respect to the incidences of MACCE, serious composite outcome, and all-cause mortality in patients with and without DM with LMCA disease. However, owing to the limited number of patients and no adjustment for multiple testing, overall findings should be considered hypothesis-generating, highlighting the need for further research.

- Abstract
Echocardiographic diagnosis of atrial myxoma may not always be straightforward, and the distinction between myxoma and thrombi is not easy, especially when we observe a mass after successful surgery. Our report describes a 72-year-old woman who presented with right upper limb hemiparesis and was subsequently diagnosed as having transient ischemic attack due to a left atrial myxoma. One month after successful surgical resection of the tumor, the patient developed left-sided weakness. Echocardiography revealed a left atrial mass attached to the interatrial septum. Intravenous heparin was administered as a therapeutic trial for postoperative thrombi, which resulted in a decrease in mass size within a week. Anticoagulation with warfarin was continued, and complete resolution was demonstrated on a 4-month follow-up transesophageal echocardiography. This case highlights the fact that thrombus formation at the surgical site should be considered an unusual but potential complication after surgical resection of left atrial myxomas., Competing Interests: The authors have no financial conflicts of interest.
