Impact of renal failure on all-cause mortality and other outcomes in patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention.
CONCLUSION: RF is a stronger independent predictor of death after PCI in STEMI than in ACS or sCAD patients. sCAD-RF and STEMI-nRF patients had similar prognoses. PMID: 26184868 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract 245: Cost Effectiveness and Safety of Abbreviated Eptifibatide Infusion in Veterans Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: In this real world cohort of patients undergoing PCI, an abbreviated 2 hour eptifibatide infusion after PCI was safe and had a cost savings of greater than 50% per patient, when compared with a standard 18 hour infusion. This approach is more cost-effective and should be considered in patients undergoing PCI who are not pretreated with dual antiplatelet therapy.

Early Outcomes After Carotid Artery Stenting Compared With Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— For asymptomatic carotid stenosis, CAS is associated with a substantially higher risk of postoperative stroke or in-hospital death than CEA even after adjustment for baseline differences in hospital and patient characteristics.

Coronary Stent Thrombosis With Vorapaxar Versus Placebo Results From the TRA 2°P-TIMI 50 Trial
BackgroundVorapaxar, a novel thrombin receptor antagonist, reduces cardiovascular death and recurrent thrombotic events when added to standard antiplatelet therapy in patients with stable atherosclerotic vascular disease.ObjectivesThe goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that treatment with vorapaxar reduces the rate of coronary stent thrombosis (ST) in stable patients with a history of coronary stenting.MethodsTRA 2°P-TIMI 50 (Trial to Assess the Effects of Vorapaxar in Preventing Heart Attack and Stroke in Patients With Atherosclerosis-Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 50) was a multinational, randomized, d...

Ischemic complications after tailored carotid artery stenting in different subpopulations with high-grade stenosis: Feared but rare
Publication date: Available online 28 November 2014 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): José E. Cohen , J. Moshe Gomori , Eyal Itshayek , Stylianos Pikis , Galina Keigler , Roni Eichel , Ronen R. Leker Although the procedural and postoperative safety profile of carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been steadily improving, many centers still recommend carotid endarectomy (CEA) over CAS. We assessed outcomes (procedural and postoperative stroke) following tailored CAS in a cohort of patients managed at a single academic medical center. Outcomes for patients with carotid artery stenosis treated from 2005–2013...

Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation Followed by 6- Versus 12-Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy The SECURITY Randomized Clinical Trial
BackgroundThe optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is still debated.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to test the noninferiority of 6 versus 12 months of DAPT in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with second-generation DES.MethodsThe SECURITY (Second Generation Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation Followed by Six- Versus Twelve-Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy) trial was a 1:1 randomized, multicenter, international, investigator-driven, noninferiority study conducted from July 2009 to June 2014. Patients with a stable or unst...

Platelet function monitoring in elderly patients on prasugrel after stenting for an acute coronary syndrome: Design of the randomized antarctic study
Conclusion ANTARCTIC is a nationwide, prospective, open-label study testing a strategy of platelet function monitoring with dose and drug adjustment to reduce ischemic and bleeding complications in elderly ACS patients undergoing coronary stenting.

Bare-Metal vs. Drug-Eluting Stents in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Conclusions:In real-world patients with AF undergoing PCI, DES use was associated with outcomes comparable to those with BMS without excess bleeding complications. More ST was seen in BMS-treated patients. PMID: 25298168 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical outcomes of hybrid coronary revascularization versus coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus
Background: Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) involves minimally invasive left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery grafting combined with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of non–left anterior descending vessels. The safety and efficacy of HCR among diabetic patients are unknown.Methods: Patients with diabetes were included who underwent HCR at a US academic center between October 2003 and September 2013. These patients were matched 1:5 to similar patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a propensity score (PS)-matching algorithm. Conditional logistic...

Comparison of Hybrid Coronary Revascularization Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients ≥65 Years With Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease
In this study, patients aged ≥65 years were included who underwent HCR at an academic center from October 2003 to September 2013. These patients were matched 1:4 to similar patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a propensity-score matching algorithm. Conditional logistic regression and Cox regression stratified on matched pairs were performed to evaluate the association between HCR and CABG, and 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (a composite of mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke), periprocedural complications, and 3-year all-cause mortality. Of 715 patien...

Bivalirudin use and one‐month outcome in the context of contemporary antiplatelet treatment: Insights from the Greek Antiplatelet Registry
ConclusionsIn a ‘real life’, contemporary antiplatelet treatment registry, clinical, laboratory and logistic factors affect bivalirudin's choice, while there are no differences in one‐month outcome between bivalirudin and no bivalirudin treated patients.This article is protected by copyright.
