Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Left Atrial Appendage Closure Procedures
Int Heart J. 2023 Mar 31;64(2):188-195. doi: 10.1536/ihj.22-639. Epub 2023 Mar 15.ABSTRACTThe aim of the present single-center, nonrandomized, retrospective study was to assess the safety and long-term efficacy of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) procedures and to compare the different LAAC devices and therapeutic regimes in this respect.Medical data of 136 patients (pts) (mean age, 72.5 ± 7.6 years; score for atrial fibrillation stroke risk estimation [CHA2DS2-VASc], 4.6 ± 1.6; and score for estimation of major bleeding risk for patients on anticoagulant therapy [HAS-BLED], 2.6 ± 0.9) who underwent per...

Effects of a Proximal Seal System on Neurologic Outcomes of Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
Authors: Kim DJ, Lee SH, Joo HC, Yoo KJ, Youn YN Abstract Severe aortic atherosclerosis is a risk factor for stroke during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative neurologic complications after off-pump CABG (OPCAB) with a proximal seal system (Heartstring).From January 2011 to December 2014, 729 patients underwent isolated OPCAB. The cohort was divided into two groups (Heartstring [HS] and aortic no-touch [NT]). The severity of aortic atherosclerosis (Katz grade) was evaluated by intraoperative epiaortic ultrasonography (EUS). The primary end...

Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation with Coronary or Peripheral Artery Disease.
Authors: Zhang H, Xue Z, Yi D, Li X, Tan Y, Li J Abstract The efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in atrial fibrillation (AF) with coronary or peripheral artery disease (CAD or PAD) remain largely unresolved. We, therefore, conducted a meta-analysis to explore the effect of NOACs compared with warfarin in these populations.We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving NOACs versus warfarin in AF patients with CAD or PAD. A random-effect model was selected to pool the risk ratios (RRs) and 95% co...

Stent Versus Non-Stent in Treating Intermediate Stenosis Culprit Lesions in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients.
Authors: Dai J, Lyu S, Song X, Zhang M, Nie S, Gao H, Zeng Y, Wang W, Zhang M, Zhang D, Tian J Abstract To investigate the efficacy and safety of stent versus non-stent in treating acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with single vessel disease and intermediate stenosis culprit lesions.Between September 2009 and May 2015, 475 acute STEMI patients (time from symptom onset < 12 hours) with single vessel disease and intermediate stenosis culprit lesions were retrospectively studied at Beijing Anzhen Hospital. The patients were divided into a stent group (n = 308) and non-stent group (n ...

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease with Chronic Kidney Disease.
Authors: Lin TC, Lu TM, Huang FC, Hsu PF, Shih CC, Lin SJ, Hsu CP Abstract Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as an alternative treatment to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD). However, the optimal treatment for ULMCAD concomitant with chronic kidney disease (CKD) was rarely addressed. Herein, we compare the long-term outcomes of these patients treated with CABG or PCI.From January 2004 to December 2010, 185 patients with ULMCAD and CKD undergoing PCI (n = 84) or CABG (n = 101) were matched for the selection criteria. The ...

Time-Dependent Changes in Porcelain Aorta and Aortic Stenosis in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Authors: Hirose K, Kodera S, Daimon M, Komuro I Abstract Porcelain aorta, defined as extensive calcification of the ascending aorta or aortic arch, is a reported risk factor for embolic stroke during cardiac surgery. However, the time course of the progression of aortic calcification leading to porcelain aorta has not been elucidated. We herein describe a 70-year-old woman who was followed up for systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome for approximately 20 years. A routine computed tomography scan revealed progression of ascending aortic calcification to porcelain aorta. The calcification was abs...

Reduced-Dose Prasugrel versus Clopidogrel for Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Int Heart J. 2021 Mar 17. doi: 10.1536/ihj.20-508. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhether reduced-dose prasugrel has a better efficacy or safety than standard-dose clopidogrel remains unknown in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library from database inception to May 1, 2020 was performed to compare the clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome or stable coronary artery disease undergoing PCI between those treated with reduced-dose prasugrel and clopidogrel. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (...

The Effect of a Cancer History on Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Int Heart J. 2021 Mar 17. doi: 10.1536/ihj.20-452. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe effect of a history of cancer on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is poorly understood.From the Osaka Acute Coronary Insufficiency Study (OACIS) registry in Osaka, Japan, we enrolled the case data of a total of 3499 patients with AMI treated with PCI between 1998 and 2014, of whom 462 had a cancer history (cancer group, 13.2%) and 3037 did not (non-cancer group, 86.8%). All of the cases were followed for up to five years from discharge.The Kaplan-Meier curve and...
