Abstract 236: Coronary Artery Procedures in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory After Overnight Call: Are Patients at Higher Risk? Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: There were greater procedural complications when performed post-call compared to no post-call; however, when adjusting for significant baseline variables, there was no significant difference seen between groups. Taking into consideration factors that contributed to procedural complications most likely will improve patient outcomes.

Hypertension and hyperglycemia and the combination thereof enhances the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in middle-aged and older males.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the hypertension and hyperglycemia and their combination may be associated with the incidence of CKD. PMID: 28590145 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Blood Pressure and Risk of Cardiovascular Events in Patients on Chronic HemodialysisNovelty and Significance Dialysis and Blood Pressure
In conclusion, among hemodialysis patients, although there is a U-shaped (paradoxical) association of dialysis-unit-SBP and risk of cardiovascular disease, there is a linear association of out-of-dialysis-unit-SBP with risk of cardiovascular disease. Out-of-dialysis-unit blood pressure provides key information and may be an important therapeutic target.

Association of Chronic Kidney Disease With In-Hospital Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Conclusions Patients with CKD or ESRD have worse in-hospital outcomes after TAVR. AKI is associated with higher in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing TAVR and the incidence of AKI has not declined over the years.

Impact of elevated glycosylated hemoglobin on hospital outcome and 1 year survival of primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting patients
Conclusions This study showed that HbA1c is a good predictor of in-hospital morbidity. It worth devoting time and effort to decrease HbA1c level below 7% to decrease possible postoperative complications.

Comparison of Outcomes of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
There are few data comparing outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) vs. surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample 2011 – 2014, we included a total of 2820 TAVI and 4054 SAVR procedures, representative of 14,039 TAVI and 19,835 SAVR procedures nationally. Co-primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), dialysis-requiring AKI, and post-operative stroke.

Transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with advanced kidney disease: A propensity score –matched analysis
ConclusionsIn patients with advanced kidney disease, SAVR was associated with higher mortality and higher periprocedural complications, as compared with TAVR. Thus, benefits of TAVR could be extended in patients with advanced kidney disease who cannot undergo surgery.

Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Trends in Utilization and Propensity-Matched Analysis of In-Hospital Outcomes Structural Heart Disease
Conclusions— TAVR is being increasingly used as the preferred modality of AVR in patients with prior CABG. Compared with SAVR, TAVR is associated with similar in-hospital mortality but lower rates of in-hospital complications in this important subset of patients.

‘Some doors are better left closed’: Using LAA occluders as an alternative to warfarin in very high-risk dialysed patients with atrial fibrillation
Since 2011, when the EMA approved the treatment with novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for primary prevention of cardio-embolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), a reasonable question repeatedly arose: “Will NOACs become the new standard of care in anticoagulation therapy?” [1]. While for many cathegories of patients the answer soon become positive [2], the sub-group of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) 5D stage (in dialysis) has never received a “yes” from either FDA or EMA (none of t hem allowing the use of NOACs in 5D CKD).

Gender Disparities with the Use of Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: From pLVAD Working Group
Conclusions Despite the small number of cohorts, this study did not reveal any significant differences among gender with the use of percutaneous left ventricular assist devices for PCI in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by CS. However, initiation of Impella prior to PCI may be associated with improved mortality and morbidity in both genders.

Impact of Indoxyl Sulfate on Coronary Plaques in Patients on Hemodialysis.
This study aimed to interpret the association between serum IS levels and coronary plaque burden (CPB) or CAC.A total of 30 consecutive patients on hemodialysis, who underwent 320-row coronary multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography for suspected coronary artery disease, were enrolled in this prospective study. Coronary artery percent atheroma volume (a CPB marker) and percent calcium volume (a CAC marker) assessed using MDCT were evaluated. Furthermore, various oxidative and inflammatory markers typified by serum IS levels at a dialysis-free day were measured. Using these data, we investigated correlation bet...
