Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device for High Risk Percutaneous Coronary Interventions. Real World versus Clinical Trial Experience
Conclusions USpella provides a real world and contemporary estimation of the type of procedures and outcomes of high-risk patients undergoing PCI supported by Impella 2.5. Despite the higher risk of registry patients, clinical outcomes appeared to be favorable and consistent compared with the randomized trial.

Abstract 328: Cardiovascular Disease Associated with Ability to Achieve Renal Transplant and Post-Transplant Adverse Events Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: CVD is common in patients listed for renal transplant. CAD is independently associated with lower odds of receiving a transplant. CAD and rEF are independently associated with increased hazard of post-transplant death or graft failure. Future efforts should focus measures to optimize outcomes in patients with CVD awaiting transplant.

Coronary Artery Surgery Versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Octogenarians: Long-Term Results
Conclusions In this real-world setting, surgical coronary revascularization remains the standard of care for patients with left main or multivessel disease. The long-term outcomes of current percutaneous coronary intervention technology in octogenarians are yet to be determined with adequately powered prospective randomized studies.

Clinical characteristics, hospital care, and prognosis of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction: Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry
The authors analyse clinical data, hospital care, and short- and long-term prognosis of 4981 ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients enrolled in the web-based Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry. It has been found that the mean age of STEMI patients was lower by 5.3 years than that of patients treated for non-STEMI (NSTEMI). In the group of NSTEMI patients (n = 3601), the occurrence of diabetes, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and previous history of myocardial infarction and stroke were significantly more frequent. The proportion of smokers among STEMI patients was remarkably higher. Pr...

The Current Use of Impella 2.5 in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: Results from the USpella Registry
ConclusionsThe results of our study suggest that early initiation of hemodynamic support prior to PCI with Impella 2.5 is associated with more complete revascularization and improved survival in the setting of refractory CS complicating an AMI.

Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Outcomes After Bivalirudin Versus Unfractionated Heparin During Carotid Artery Stenting: A Propensity Score Analysis From the NCDR Peripheral Vascular Disease
Conclusions— Bivalirudin was associated with lower rates of hemorrhagic outcomes compared with UFH during the index hospitalization for carotid artery stenting. In-hospital and 30-day ischemic events were similar between the 2 groups. Randomized comparisons of these agents are needed to confirm these findings.

Short-term and long-term mortality associated with ventricular arrhythmia in patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome: findings from the Gulf RACE registry-2
Objectives: Ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) carries an ominous prognosis; however, long-term prognosis associated with VA in ACS in the Middle East is unknown. Accordingly, we sought to assess the incidence, in-hospital outcomes, and 1-year mortality of in-hospital VA in patients with ACS. Methods and results: The Second Gulf Registry of Acute Coronary Events (Gulf RACE-2) is a multinational observational study of patients with ACS, which enrolled 7930 patients. Of these, 333 (4.2%) developed VA during hospitalization. Patients with VA were significantly older (mean age 58.3 vs. ...
