Long-term outcomes of the modest stent expansion strategy for the culprit lesion of acute myocardial infarction
In conclusion, the modest stent expansion strategy was not associated with long-term MACE. Therefore, the modest stent expansion strategy may be a good choice for the culprit lesion of AMI. (Source: Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics)

Latest outcomes of transcatheter left atrial appendage closure devices and direct oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation over the past 5  years: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractLeft atrial appendage closure (LAAC) are emerging treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the safety, efficacy, and medications for LAAC devices in patients with AF are lacking. We aimed to investigate the incidence of all-cause mortality, stroke, and major bleeding in AF patients with LAAC devices and DOACs. Moreover, we aimed to investigate the incidence rate of device-related thrombus (DRT) and the medications used in the management of AF patients with LAAC devices to gain insights into achieving better outcome. Based on a literature search using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, a...

Comparison of medical resource use and total admission cost in patients with acute myocardial infarction between on-hours visit versus off-hours visit
In conclusion, total admission cost was higher in AMI patients with off-hours visit than in those with on-hours visit. However, multivariat e logistic regression analysis revealed that the off-hours visit itself was not associated with the highest total admission cost. Off-hours visit itself did not result in higher cost, but severer conditions in AMI patients with off-hours visit resulted in higher cost. (Source: Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics)

CVIT expert consensus document on primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) update 2022
AbstractPrimary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to reducing the mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) even in cardiogenic shock and is now the standard of care in most of Japanese institutions. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Interventional and Therapeutics (CVIT) society proposed an expert consensus document for the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2018. Updated guidelines for the management of AMI were published by the European Society o...

Clinical utility and safety of biopsy forceps for intestinal endoscopes during endovascular treatment
AbstractA 76-year-old female who had a history of endovascular treatment (EVT) for her left superficial femoral artery with endovascular stent grafts [VIABAHN (W. L. Gore& Associates, Inc., DE, USA)] suddenly experienced intermittent claudication of her left leg. Angiography revealed total occlusion of previous stent grafts, and a thrombus aspiration catheter was used after crossing the guidewire. Since retrograde angiography using a thrombus aspiration catheter revealed a large residual thrombus at the distal edge of the previous stent even after several thrombus aspirations, biopsy forceps for intestinal endoscopes [...

Comparison of door-to-balloon time and in-hospital outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction between before versus after COVID-19 pandemic
In conclusion, although DTBT was significantly longer after COVID-19 pandemic than before COVID-19 pandemic, in-hospital outcomes were comparable between before versus after COVID-19 pandemic. This study s uggests the validity of the screening tests including chest CT for COVID-19 in patients with STEMI who undergo primary PCI. (Source: Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics)

Feasibility and safety of transradial balloon aortic valvuloplasty in patients with severe aortic stenosis
AbstractBalloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) was developed as a technique to treat aortic stenosis (AS) and is associated with significant improvements in aortic valve area and trans-aortic valve gradient in the early and immediate periods after the procedure. BAV is commonly performed using a trans-femoral retrograde approach; however, trans-femoral access is associated with frequent access-site bleeding. Among 146 patients with symptomatic severe AS who were treated with BAV in our institution, 123 patients received BAV treatment via a trans-radial approach using a 7-Fr Glidesheath. The balloon size was 16 –20 mm for al...

Comparison between biodegradable- and durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents in hemodialysis patients with coronary artery disease
AbstractTo investigate the clinical outcomes after biodegradable-polymer (BP) and durable-polymer (DP) everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation in hemodialysis (HD) patients with coronary artery disease. We enrolled 221 consecutive HD patients successfully treated with EES implantation for coronary lesions. Over the following 2  years, we assessed the incidence of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and major adverse cardiac event (MACE), defined as the composite endpoint of TLR, all-cause mortality, or myocardial infarction. We performed a propensity-score matching analysis and collected follow-up coronary angiograp...
