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)

Inflammation modifies the platelet reactivity among thrombocytopenia patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Platelets. 2024 Dec;35(1):2327835. doi: 10.1080/09537104.2024.2327835. Epub 2024 Apr 24.ABSTRACTPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients combined with thrombocytopenia (TP) are usually considered to be at low ischemic risk, receiving less proper antiplatelet therapy. However, recent studies reported a paradoxical phenomenon that PCI patients with TP were prone to experience thrombotic events, while the mechanisms and future treatment remain unclear. We aim to investigate whether inflammation modifies platelet reactivity among these patients. Consecutive 10 724 patients undergoing PCI in Fuwai Hospital were enrolle...

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)

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)

A case report of ventricular fibrillation following Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy during percutaneous coronary intervention
Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (S-IVL) is widely used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of calcified coronary arteries. Ventricular capture beats during S-IVL are common but arrhythmias are ... (Source: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders)

A case of coronary artery compression syndrome resulting from peri-valvular regurgitation and long-standing atrial fibrillation
J Cardiol Cases. 2024 Jan 6;29(4):157-160. doi: 10.1016/j.jccase.2023.12.003. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTA man in his 70s with a history of mitral valve replacement (MVR) and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) presented with effort angina. Coronary angiography revealed severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LMCA). As it was an emergent case, PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) was selected for treatment. Intravascular ultrasonography revealed no atherosclerotic lesions in the LMCA. The LMCA was effectively dilated by the drug-eluting stent. No elevation in intracardiac pressure was observed...

Acute coronary syndrome in patients treated by vitamin K antagonists or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants: Proposed management algorithm for the first 48hours
Arch Cardiovasc Dis. 2024 Apr 12:S1875-2136(24)00058-5. doi: 10.1016/j.acvd.2024.02.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAround 10% of patients with acute coronary syndrome are treated by vitamin K antagonists or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants for various indications. The initial management of these patients is highly complex, and new guidelines specify that, only during percutaneous coronary intervention, a bolus of unfractionated heparin is recommended in one of the following circumstances: (1) if the patient is receiving a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant; or (2) if the international normalized ra...

Detoxification and Activating Blood Circulation Decoction Promotes Reendothelialization of Damaged Blood Vessels via VEGF Signaling Pathway Activation by miRNA-126
In this study, we clarified the mechanism by which Detoxification and Activating Blood Circulation Decoction (DABCD) promotes vascular reendothelialization to avoid ISR by miRNA-126-mediated modulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. A rat model of post-PCI restenosis was established by balloon injury. The injured aortic segment was collected 14 and 28 d after model establishment. Our findings indicate that on the 14th and 28th days following balloon injury, DABCD reduced intimal hyperplasia and inflammation and promoted vascular reendothelialization. Additionally, DABCD markedly increas...

How much data is enough data for imaging-guided PCI?
It is almost unanimously acknowledged that imaging guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves outcomes, particularly in complex cases, where there's a mortality reduction of up to 50% [1,2]. Numerous studies have permeated the interventional landscape, that it is very difficult not to recommend intracoronary imaging when embarking on a more complex PCI. Just as no one questions the prescription of statins, for example, which reduce all-cause mortality by approximately 20 –30% (for both primary and secondary prevention) [3–5].

Longer-Duration Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Medically-Treated Myocardial Infarction: What is the Strength of the Evidence?
A few studies have demonstrated the benefit of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) during the first 3 to 12 months after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in medically managed patients.1 –3 However, the benefit of more prolonged DAPT is poorly defined. The guidelines from national societies on the use of antiplatelet therapy after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)/stenting continue to evolve, with more recent guidelines recomme nding a reduced duration and intensity of therapy in certain situations.
