Clinical outcomes of multivessel coronary artery disease patients revascularized by robot-assisted vs conventional standard coronary artery bypass graft surgeries in real-world practice
The treatment of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) by coronary stenting (PCI) and the “gold standard” conventional coronary-artery bypass grafting (C-CABG) has been well explored in the literature. However, the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted CABG (R-CABG) vs C-CABG in MVD patients in real-world practice were unknown. We aimed to study the clinical outcomes of MVD patients who underwent R-CABG (robotic MIDCAB) and C-CABG at our institution between January 2005 and December 2013.
A total of 516 MVD patients received CABG were recruited into this study. Among them, 281 patients received R-CAB...

Efficacy and safety of abciximab versus tirofiban in addition to ticagrelor in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous intervention.
The objectives were to assess the efficacy and safety of abciximab versus tirofiban in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and pretreated with ticagrelor, and to identify independent predictor factors of efficacy, bleeding and platelet drop. Three hundred sixty-two patients were divided by GPI administered. Clinical, laboratory, angiographic and outcome characteristics were compared. The primary objective was a composite efficacy endpoint (death from any cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke) at 30 days. The seconda...

The Use of Corticosteroids for Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Adults
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCardiopulmonary bypass for on-pump cardiac surgery induces a systemic inflammation that may contribute to postoperative major complications. To reduce this inflammatory response in patients undergoing heart surgery, the perioperative use of anti-inflammatory corticosteroids has long been recommended to improve clinical outcomes. However, the efficacy and safety of steroids remain still unclear.Recent FindingsWe reviewed recent published literature, including the large clinical trials DECS and SIRS and the two meta-analysis by Dvirnik et al. (2018) and Ng et al. (2020), on mortality and major postop...

Importance of attributes and willingness to pay for oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation in China: A discrete choice experiment
by Jiaxi Zhao, Hao Wang, Xue Li, Yang Hu, Vincent K. C. Yan, Carlos K. H. Wong, Yutao Guo, Marco K. H. Cheung, Gregory Y. H. Lip, Chung-Wah Siu, Hung-Fat Tse, Esther W. Chan
BackgroundAdherence to oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in China is low. Patient preference, one of the main reasons for discontinuation of oral anticoagulant therapy, is an unfamiliar concept in China. Methods and findingsA discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted to quantify patient preference on 7 attributes of oral anticoagulant therapy: antidote (yes/no), food –drug interaction (yes/no), frequency of blo...

Comparing pharmacotherapy in MINOCA versus medically managed obstructive acute coronary syndrome
This study uniquely compares the management and outcomes of MINOCA patients with a medically managed obstructive ACS (M-ACS) population. We retrospectively analysed registry data for consecutive patients admitted to the Gold Coast University Hospital with ACS requiring coronary angiography and identified patients with MINOCA and M-ACS. Baseline characteristics, pharmacological therapy and in-hospital outcomes were compared. In hospital outcomes were composite NACE, heart failure, stroke and major bleeding. Multivariate regression analysis was also performed to identify independent predictors of MINOCA. Multivariate regress...

Incidence of thrombotic complications related to weight-based dosing of activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) for reversal of apixaban and rivaroxaban in obese patients
AbstractFactor eight inhibitor bypassing activity (aPCC) is recommended as a non-specific reversal agent for direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) according to the 2017 American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines for reversal of anticoagulation. Factor eight inhibitor bypassing activity carries a black box warning for thrombotic events such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and myocardial infarction, particularly at high doses. This was a retrospective, single-center, cohort investigation that included patients who received a weight-based dose of aPCC for reversal of apixaban and rivaroxaban between Jan...

Long-term outcomes of delayed percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A propensity score-matched retrospective study
The best time window of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is within 12 hours for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, there is limited evidence about the proper time of PCI for delayed STEMI patients.
From June 2014 to June 2015, a total of 268 patients receiving PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stent in a Chinese hospital after 3 days of STEMI onset were enrolled in this retrospective study, who were divided into the early group (3–14 days) and the late group (>14 days). A propensity score match was conducted to reduce the baseline difference. The primary endpoint of all-ca...

Prevalence of recommended anticoagulation by guidelines preadmission and its impact on the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in-hospital outcomes after AMI in atrial fibrillation patients
This study was designed to explore the prevalence of recommended anticoagulation by guidelines before admission and its impact on the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the AMI associated in-hospital outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). 10,725 patients with AF at their first hospitalizations in our hospitals were retrospectively reviewed, with a prevalence of recommended anticoagulation preadmission 24.41% (Number = 2618). They had lower risk of AMI incidence (Adjusted OR 0.66, 95%CI 0.54 –0.81, p < 0.001) compared to those without recommended anticoagulation after multivariate logist...

One-Stop Hybrid Coronary Revascularization Versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Int Heart J. 2022;63(3):441-446. doi: 10.1536/ihj.21-705.ABSTRACTOne-stop hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) is a promising revascularization strategy for treating multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD). However, its safety and feasibility remain controversial. Therefore, we introduced our experience with midterm follow-up of HCR in patients with MVCAD and compared it with conventional off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Patients with MVCAD undergoing one-stop HCR at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between March 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. These patients were matched in a 1:2 ratio...
