Balancing the Risk of Bleeding and Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (from the AVIATOR Registry)
We describe patterns and determinants of antithrombotic prescriptions in this population. The Antithrombotic Strategy Variability in Atrial Fibrillation and Obstructive Coronary Disease Revascularized with PCI Registry was an international observational study of 859 consecutive patients with AF who underwent PCI from 2009 to 2011.

Comparison of Five-Year Outcome of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Triple-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease (from the Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto PCI/CABG Registry Cohort-2)
Studies evaluating long-term (≥5 years) outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with triple-vessel coronary artery disease (TVD) are still limited. We identified 2,978 patients with TVD (PCI: n = 1,824, CABG: n = 1,154) of 15,939 patients with first coronary revascularization enrolled in the Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto PCI/CABG Registry Cohort-2. The primary outcome measure in the present analysis was a composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke.

Predictive Value of Combining the Ankle-Brachial Index and SYNTAX Score for the Prediction of Outcome after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (From the SHINANO Registry)
The SYNTAX score is effective in predicting clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, its prediction ability is low because it reflects only the coronary characterization. We assessed the predictive value of combining the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and SYNTAX score to predict clinical outcomes after PCI. The ABI-SYNTAX score was calculated for 1197 patients recruited from the SHINANO registry, a prospective, observational, multi-center cohort study in Japan. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACE; all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and s...

Usefulness of the CHADSVAS Score to Predict Adverse Outcomes in Patients having Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
The application of the CHA2DS2-VASC score as a novel risk stratification tool for predicting outcome in clinical applications other than atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke prevention has been previously examined. However its usefulness in a population of patients with coronary artery disease following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been explored. We investigated 12,785 consecutive patients who underwent PCI in a tertiary medical center between 4/2004 and 8/2014 (mean follow up 6.5 years) and computed the CHA2DS2-VASC score on their index PCI.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Versus Drug-Eluting Stents Implantation for Prior Myocardial Infarction
Patients with prior myocardial infarction (MI) have a high risk of recurrence. Little is known about the effectiveness of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with a prior MI and left main or multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). We compared long-term outcomes of these two strategies in 672 patients with prior MI and left main or multivessel CAD, who underwent CABG (n=349) or PCI with DES (n=323). A pooled database from the BEST, PRECOMBAT, and SYNTAX trials was analyzed, and the primary outcome was a composite of death from a...

Evaluation of 5 Prognostic Scores for Prediction of Stroke, Thromboembolic and Coronary Events, All-Cause Mortality, and Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Coronary Stenting
Management of antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary stenting remains challenging, and there is a need for efficient tools to predict their risk of different types of cardiovascular events and death. Several scores exist such as the CHA2DS2-VASc score, the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score, the Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score, the Anatomical and Clinical Syntax II Score and the Reduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health score.

Comparison of Outcome of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting versus Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation for Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
There is limited data comparing effectiveness of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). We compared the long-term outcomes of the two revascularization strategies in 1,246 patients presented with NSTE-ACS for left main or multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Data were pooled from the BEST, PRECOMBAT, and SYNTAX trials. The primary outcome was a composite of death from any causes, myocardial infarction, or stroke.

Effect of Bleeding Risk on Type of Stent Used in Patients Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) are at increased risk of bleeding following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) due to the need for longer dual antiplatelet duration. We sought to evaluate the likelihood of receiving DES during PCI in HBR populations and to characterize DES utilization trends over time. Consecutive patients who underwent PCI from April 2003 to September 2015 were identified. HBR is defined as patients fulfilling one or more of the HBR criteria: age ≥75 years, anticoagulation use at discharge, history of stroke, cancer in previous 3 years, glucocorticoid use, hemoglobin (Hgb)

Meta-Analysis of Comparison of Five-Year Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients with Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery in the Era of Drug Eluting Stents
Patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease are increasingly being treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents (DES), but long term outcomes comparing PCI with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remain limited. We performed aggregate data meta-analyses of clinical outcomes [all cause death; non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI); stroke; repeat revascularization; cardiac death and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)] in studies comparing 5 year outcomes of PCI with DES vs.

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Cessation and Adverse Events after Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation in Patients at High Risk for Atherothrombosis. (From the PARIS Registry)
The impact of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) cessation after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stent implantation in patients at high atherothrombotic risk (ATR) remains unclear. We aimed to characterize the risk for adverse events, and its relationship with the mode of DAPT cessation in patients at atherothrombotic risk (HATR). Considering patients treated with drug-eluting stents among those enrolled in the PARIS registry, we defined subjects with prior myocardial infarction (MI), prior stroke or peripheral vascular disease at HATR, while patients without any of these conditions were classified as at...

Relation of Preprocedural Hemoglobin Level to Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
This study assessed the impact of elevated Hb on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) at 12 months, a composite of all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke after PCI. We pooled patient-level data from four Korean multicenter drug-eluting stent registries from 2010 to 2016.
