Clinical use of physiological lesion assessment using pressure guidewires: an expert consensus document of the Japanese association of cardiovascular intervention and therapeutics —update 2022
AbstractFractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio are widely accepted and  recommended in Western and Japanese guidelines for appropriate percutaneous coronary intervention. There are, however, many differences in clinical situations between Japan and Western countries. Therefore, the Task Force on coronary physiology of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Inter vention and Therapeutics (CVIT) has proposed an expert consensus document to summarize current evidence and suggest the practical use of physiological lesion assessment in Japan.

Chronic kidney disease and transcatheter aortic valve implantation
AbstractTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Patients with aortic stenosis have a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is generally associated with an increased risk of mortality, cardiovascular events, and readmission for heart failure; this supports the concept of a cardio-renal syndrome (CRS). CRS encompasses a spectrum of disorders of the heart and kidneys, wherein dysfunction in one organ may cause dysfunction in the other. TAVI treatment is expected to break this malignant cycle of CRS and improve cardio-renal fun...

Periprocedural and 30-day outcomes of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention used in the intravascular imaging guidance
AbstractIn recent years, there have been several reports on robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI), but few studies have been conducted on R-PCI performed under intravascular imaging guidance. To elucidate the periprocedural and postoperative 30-day outcomes of intravascular imaging-guided R-PCI, we performed a retrospective observational study on all patients in 102 consecutive cases who underwent R-PCI under intravascular imaging guidance at a single center in Japan from June 12, 2019 to February 18, 2021. The primary end point was 30-day survival, and the secondary end point was the incidence of com...

Early vascular healing of ultra-thin strut polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents in acute coronary syndrome: USUI-ACS study
AbstractUltra-thin strut polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stent (UPF-SES) have two novel characteristics, ultra-thin strut and polymer-free coating, which have the potential to achieve early re-endotherialization. However, a little is known whether early vascular healing of UPF-SES can be achieved in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the vascular healing after an implantation of UPF-SES in patients with ACS using optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 3  months after the stent implantation. From September 2020 and January 2021, a total of 31 consecutive patients presenting wit...

Renal denervation in resistant hypertension: a review of clinical trials and future perspectives
AbstractA previous report using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey demonstrated an increase in the prevalence of resistant hypertension, which does not respond to traditional therapy and medication. Studies using various animal hypertensive models have demonstrated significant blood pressure (BP) reduction following renal artery denervation (RDN). Catheter-based RDN became available in clinical trials as a possible treatment option for resistant hypertension. Although first clinical trials of RDN have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of this treatment mortality for lowering BP in patients with resista...

Cutting balloons versus conventional balloons for treating patients with coronary artery disease presenting with moderate-to-severely calcified lesions: impact on post-interventional minimum stent area
This study was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. We analyzed 636 lesions from 543 patients with moderate-to-severely calcified CAD lesions undergoing intravascular ultraso und (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention using cutting balloons or conventional balloons prior to drug-eluting stent implantation. The primary outcome was post-interventional minimum stent area (MSA) evaluated by IVUS. Propensity score matching was performed to adjust for baseline charac teristics. The interaction effects between balloon type and baseline characteristics were also assessed in MSA >  5.5 mm2. Data on ...
