Five-year follow-up of patients with radio-contrast-induced acute renal injury. Can intravenous sodium-bicarbonate improve long-term outcomes?

Nov 18, 2020 by
Fernando Boccalandro | Katherine Shreyder | Laura Harmon | Mandeep Dhindsa | Tallat Fahim | Samia Sheikh

Radiocontrast-induced acute kidney injury (RAKI) is a frequent complication during angiography and is associated with adverse prognosis. Most of the studies evaluating the long-term outcome of patients with RAKI are based on institutional registries. This is the first prospective study to evaluate the 5-year outcomes of patients with RAKI, and assess the effect of sodium bicarbonate (SB) in the long-term outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing non-emergent coronary angiography.

Expedited Mitra clip: Rapid evaluation, treatment, and discharge in the COVID-19 era

Undertreatment of patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) has been exaggerated during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Expedited workup and shortened post-procedural hospital stay after percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) would be incredibly helpful to relieve the constrain in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic and immediately afterward. We report a patient who underwent PMVR with a simplified pre-operative workup, a shortened hospital stay, and expedited discharge.

Can we truly predict futility for TAVR based on pre-procedural indices?

Nov 12, 2020 by
Sa'ar Minha | Gil Marcus

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is currently an accepted therapeutic option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Initially approved for inoperable patients and those at high surgical risk, the indications have expanded for both intermediate and low-risk patients with excellent success rates and clinical data demonstrating excellent short and long-term outcomes.

Management of coronary artery perforation

Ahmed Abdalwahab | Mohamed Farag | Emmanouil S. Brilakis | Alfredo R. Galassi | Mohaned Egred

Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), however if recognized and managed promptly, its adverse consequences can be minimized. Risk factors for CAP include the use of advanced PCI technique (such as atherectomy and chronic total occlusion interventions) and treatment of severely calcified lesions. There are 3 major types of CAP depending on location: (a) large vessel perforation, (b) distal vessel perforation, and (c) collateral perforation.

Recurrent in-stent restenosis: Overcoming obstacles with intravascular imaging guidance

Nov 10, 2020 by
Evan Shlofmitz, DO

In this issue of Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine (CRM), Megaly et al. report their single-center experience with vascular brachytherapy (VBT) for recurrent in-stent restenosis (ISR) comparing patients treated with combined VBT and excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) versus VBT alone. In this difficult to treat population, the investigators found comparable outcomes between the two cohorts [ 1 ]. This study adds to the available data in this complex population, and supports that both strategies are safe in a real-world high-risk population.

Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction revascularization: Is ≤24 h early enough?

Nov 10, 2020 by
Charan Yerasi | William S. Weintraub

Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a heterogeneous disease that, unlike ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), quite often does not present with a diagnostic electrocardiogram (EKG). This can be due to the culprit lesion not being totally occluded or being a “silent” 100% blocked lesion, which is not evident on the EKG. In the setting in which the culprit coronary artery is not completely occluded, the blood flow may not be able to maintain the myocardium in a viable state. While the initial presentation of NSTEMI may not be as overt as that for STEMI, there is, nonetheless, a high incidence of adverse outcomes. The VERDICT study and the meta-analysis by Jobs et al. showed that in high-risk patients with a Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score of ≥140, early revascularization (≤24 h) will result in improved outcomes.

Prevalence and implications of junctional rhythm during transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Nov 10, 2020 by
Natthapon Angsubhakorn | Maria Anderson | Baris Akdemir | Stefan Bertog | Santiago Garcia | Alok Sharma | Venkat Tholakanahalli | Selcuk Adabag

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has rapidly evolved as a treatment alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. With the recently expanded indication for low-risk patients, TAVR is expected to be the predominant treatment option for patients with aortic stenosis, irrespective of surgical risk. However, TAVR may be associated with injury to the conduction system at the level of the atrioventricular (AV) junction leading to complete AV block. Further, a recent case series of 6 patients with sustained junctional rhythm following TAVR suggested that post-TAVR junctional rhythm may be associated with pacemaker implantation and mortality. Given the paucity of systematically-generated data in this area, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to explore the prevalence and implications of junctional rhythm during TAVR procedure.

Three-year outcomes with a contemporary self-expanding transcatheter valve from the Evolut PRO US Clinical Study

Nov 10, 2020 by
Moritz C. Wyler von Ballmoos | Michael J. Reardon | Mathew R. Williams | Abeel A. Mangi | Neal S. Kleiman | Steven J. Yakubov | Daniel Watson | Susheel Kodali | Isaac George | Peter Tadros | George L. Zorn | John Brown | Robert Kipperman | Jae K. Oh | Hongyan Qiao | John K. Forrest

Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. PVR continues to plague TAVR jeopardizing long-term results. New device iterations, such as the self-expandable Evolut PRO valve, aim to decrease PVR while maintaining optimal hemodynamics. This study sought to evaluate clinical and hemodynamic performance of the Evolut PRO system at 3 years.

Percutaneous Retrieval of an Entrapped Rotational Atherectomy Burr Using Novel Technique of Controlled Traction and Counter Traction

Nov 07, 2020
Burr entrapment is a rare and serious complication during rotational atherectomy (RA). The Japanese have termed this the Kokeshi phenomenon named after a wooden doll found in northern Japan consisted of a simple trunk but a large head akin to the Rotablator. 1,2 The reason underlying this complication is the lack of diamond dust on the back end of the burr. 3 The burr is olive-shaped and has diamond coating at its distal surface for antegrade ablation. The proximal part is smooth without diamonds, which prevents backward ablation of tissues when retracted.

Retrieval of undeflatable stent balloon using laser energy

Nov 02, 2020
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most frequent non-surgical procedures performed worldwide. As any invasive procedure, PCI is accompanied by a low but still important risk of complications. One such very rare complication is when the angioplasty balloon cannot be deflated. We present a case of undeflatable balloon during chronic total occlusion PCI and we report a novel technique for balloon retrieval: using the Excimer light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (Laser) coronary atherectomy device.

Longitudinal neointimal distribution pattern after Everolimus-eluting stent implantation: Insights from Optical Coherence Tomography study

Periprocedural MI should not be an endpoint

Oct 29, 2020
Great controversy erupted after the report of the EXCEL trial of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with left main disease. I discussed it in this space in a piece I called, “What's Right about Left Main?” Much of that controversy was over the definition of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) used as a part of the composite endpoint of the trial.

Over ten years follow-up of chronic Total coronary occlusion angioplasty

Oct 28, 2020
It has been reported that successful percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion (CTO-PCI) might be associated with symptom relief, a lower rate of subsequent myocardial infarction and coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and improved long-term survival, compared with unsuccessful PCI for CTO. However, the long-term benefit of percutaneous recanalization of CTO remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the long-term benefit of percutaneous recanalization of CTO.

Excimer laser atherectomy in percutaneous coronary intervention: A contemporary review

Oct 27, 2020
Excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been in use for more than twenty years. While early experiences were not favorable over balloon angioplasty alone, with improvement in operator technique, patient selection and technology, ELCA has established its own niche in contemporary PCI as a safe and effective atherectomy strategy. With growing experience in complex coronary interventions worldwide, ELCA has become one of the essential atherectomy tools offering unique advantages over other atherectomy devices. In the modern era, ELCA is commonly used for patients with in-stent restenosis, stent under expansion, balloon uncrossable lesions and chronic total occlusions. Technical success rates are reported to be >80% in most situations while procedural complication rates such as vessel dissection and perforation among others are reported to average 9% over the past 25 years with improvement over time. In this review, we provide a comprehensive systematic review of the ELCA system, its practical use, indications, and procedural techniques in the contemporary PCI era.

Treatment of lesions in small coronary vessels is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing small-vessel PCI in the BIONICS trial and to identify predictors of stent failure. 1910 patients were randomized to treatment with the EluNIR™ ridaforolimus-eluting stent (RES) or Resolute™ zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES). Small vessels were defined as reference vessel diameters (RVD) ≤2.5 mm. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify predictors of target lesion failure (TLF) through 2 years. Patients undergoing small vessel disease PCI had a higher frequency of diabetes, prior myocardial infarction (MI), and prior PCI. 2 year TLF was higher among patients with small vessels (9.7% vs. 5.9%, HR 1.7 [95% CI 1.22-2.37], p<0.01), driven by increased rates of target vessel-MI and target lesion revascularization (TLR). Stent thrombosis at 2 years was higher among patients with small vessel disease (1.4% vs. 0.3%, HR 5.25 [95% CI 1.47- 18.8], p<0.01). 2 year TLF rates were similar in the RES and ZES patient groups (Pinteraction 0.86). In conclusion, patients undergoing PCI in small vessels have significantly worse outcomes despite the use of contemporary stents.
