Association between lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography
CONCLUSION: The findings indicated that elevated lipoprotein(a) had no obvious relationship with hypertension and obesity. Elevated lipoprotein(a) increases the risk of high total cholesterol, high LDL‑c, and premature CAD, and increases the occurrence and severity of coronary heart disease.PMID:38658408 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-024-05247-0 (Source: Herz)

Long-term outcomes following double kissing crush or mini-culotte stenting for complex coronary bifurcation lesions: the EVOLUTE-CRUSH IV study
CONCLUSION: At long-term follow-up, the rates of TLF and MACCE were 17.4% and 20%, respectively. However, long-term TLF was significantly higher in patients treated with MCT than those treated with the DKC technique, primarily due to a more frequent occurrence of clinically driven TLR.PMID:38656396 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-024-05244-3 (Source: Herz)

Tongue patch angioplasty for small-caliber vein segments directly connected to juxta-anastomotic stenosis
This study introduces a surgical method to increase the size of small vessels in patients with juxta-anastomosis stenosis (JAS) requiring full-length dissection. The small-caliber segment that is adjacent to JAS is usually expanded using balloon angioplasty or surgically resected. After resection, if the cannulation site is sufficient, only the arterial anastomosis is moved proximally; otherwise, it is replaced with a prosthetic graft. Herein, we describe the cases of two 60- and 34-year-old men with left brachio-basilar and left radiocephalic fistulas, respectively. The first and second patients needed transposition and s...

The Association of CHADS-P2A2RC Risk Score With Clinical Outcomes in Patients Taking P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy After 3 Months of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: The CHADS-P2A2RC risk score is valuable in discriminating high-ischemic-risk patients. Even in such patients with a high risk of ischemic events, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy was associated with a lower incidence of bleeding without increased risk of ischemic events compared with prolonged DAPT.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02079194.PMID:38654565 | PMC:PMC11040264 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2023.0268 (Source: Korean Circulation Journal)

Robotic-Assisted Hybrid Coronary Revascularization
The authors reported 285 patients who underwent reverse robotic-assisted hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR). Reverse HCR consists of percutaneous coronary intervention in non-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery vessels performed within 30 days before robotic-assisted left internal thoracic artery (LTA) harvesting and LTA to LAD manual anastomosis through a 4 cm left mini-thoracotomy.

Microvascular resistance reserve before and after PCI: a serial FFR and [15O] H2O PET study
Microvascular Resistance Reserve (MRR) has recently been introduced as a microvasculature-specific index and hypothesized to be independent of coronary stenosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the change of MRR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). (Source: Atherosclerosis)

The resolute Onyx in TIA management (ROTIA)
CONCLUSION: ROTIA demonstrates the feasibility of using the Resolute Onyx drug-eluting stent for the management of TIAs due to refractory ICAD, with high technical success and low peri-procedural complications. Limitations include the retrospective and single-center nature of this study. Future prospective, multi-center, randomized trials with extended observation periods are needed.PMID:38651294 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241249211 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)
