Patient characteristics associated with acute kidney injury following coronary angiography
CONCLUSION: Peripheral artery disease, multivessel disease, and creatinine >1.5 mg/dL were associated with a higher risk of AKI in patients undergoing coronary angiography in this single-center retrospective cohort.PMID:38628321 | PMC:PMC11018084 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2301903 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Two-year outcomes of endovascular therapy for femoropopliteal arterial lesions for patients with high bleeding risk
AbstractThe Academic Research Consortium (ARC) recently published a definition of patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the prevalence of the ARC-HBR criteria in patients undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) for femoropopliteal arterial lesions has not been thoroughly investigated. The study population comprised 165 patients undergoing initial EVT for femoropopliteal lesions between June 2018 and June 2020. They were divided into two groups according to the ARC-HBR criteria. The primary end point was a composite of all-cause death, Bleeding Academic Research Consortiu...

Short-duration aerobic high-intensity intervals versus moderate exercise training intensity in patients with peripheral artery disease: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (the Angiof-HIIT Study)
This study aims to compare the effects of 12-week-long supervised walking exercise training (high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs moderate-intensity exercise (MOD)) in patients with chronic symptomatic PAD. Methods and analysis This study is a monocentric, interventional, non-blinded randomised controlled trial. 60 patients (30 in each group) will be randomly allocated (by using the random permuted blocks) to 12 weeks (three times a week) of HIIT or MOD. For HIIT, exercise sessions will consist of alternating brief high-intensity (≥85% of the peak heart rate (HRpeak)) periods (≤60 s) of work with periods of pa...

Retrospective analysis on diameters of drug-coated balloons and predilatation balloons in infra-inguinal endovascular treatment (RABBIT study)
AbstractThis multicenter retrospective study assessed the clinical outcomes of endovascular therapy (EVT) using a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that was larger than the predilatation balloons for femoropopliteal artery lesions. We analyzed 1140 cases with symptomatic peripheral artery disease that underwent EVT with DCB for femoropopliteal lesions between 2017 and 2021. The primary endpoint was procedural failure, defined as a composite of deteriorated dissection and bailout stenting. The secondary endpoints included deteriorated dissection, bailout stenting, restenosis, and target lesion revascularization. We performed propen...

Impact of a quality improvement initiative on medical management of Veterans with peripheral artery disease
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a leading cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity and is associated with increased rates of lower extremity amputation (LEA).1 PAD is a strong predictor of both cardiovascular and overall mortality, even more so than prior MI.2,3 In fact, PAD in the absence of known CAD predicted cardiovascular events more strongly than did CAD.4 (Source: The American Journal of Cardiology)

Impact of atrial fibrillation on 1-year outcome in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator: results from the German DEVICE Registry
CONCLUSIONS: Our clinical data on an extended cohort of contemporary patients confirm the significant impact of AF, and its associated comorbidities, upon mortality and major adverse events after implantation of ICD/CRT.PMID:38617758 | PMC:PMC11009579 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-274 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
