Impact of clopidogrel and potent P2Y 12 -inhibitors on mortality and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Abstract Administration of a P2Y 12 -receptor antagonist in addition to aspirin is mandatory in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to reduce the occurrence of thrombotic events; however, their impact on mortality and stroke is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the influence of moderate (clopidogrel) or potent (prasugrel/ticagrelor) P2Y 12 -receptor inhibition on major cardiovascular outcomes among patients with ACS or undergoing PCI. Systematic literature search was performed to find randomised, controlled clinical trials comparing the clinical impact o...

Acute myocardial infarction complicating ischemic stroke: is there room for cangrelor?
We report two cases of patients with AMI complicating ischemic stroke, successfully treated with cangrelor infusion, which was started during PCI and maintained up to 48 h at bridge therapy dosage (0.75 mcg/kg/min). Both patients underwent successful PCI in the acute phase, and neither ischemic nor hemorrhagic complications occurred during in-hospital stay. PMID: 31066332 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Platelet reactivity-adjusted antiplatelet therapy in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Authors: Xing Z, Tang L, Zhu Z, Huang J, Peng X, Hu X Abstract Numerous number of evidences show that high on-treatment platelet reactivity is a well-known risk factor for adverse events in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Controversial situations still exist regarding the effectiveness of tailoring antiplatelet therapy according to platelet function monitoring. The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central databases were searched for randomized trials comparing platelet reactivity-adjusted antiplatelet therapy with conventional antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing PCI. The primary end poi...

Short-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by P2Y12 monotherapy versus traditional DAPT in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: meta-analysis and viewpoint
AbstractThe optimal duration dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is subject to debate. A short-duration DAPT (one month to three months) followed by P2Y12 monotherapy instead of standard 6 to 12 months DAPT followed by aspirin monotherapy after PCI has been suggested. We meta-analyzed studies comparing short-term ( ≤ 3 months) DAPT followed by P2Y12 monotherapy versus standard DAPT in patients after PCI. In total, 2304 studies were screened at title and abstract level. The primary endpoint was major bleeding. Secondary endpoints included myocardial infarction, stent thrombosi...

The dawn of aspirin free strategy after short term dual antiplatelet for percutaneous coronary intervention: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
AbstractThere is still a debate about the safety and efficacy of an aspirin free strategy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Hence, we performed a meta-analysis comparing aspirin free strategy to dual antiplatlets therapy (DAPT). Randomized trials (RCTs) comparing aspirin free strategy to DAPT in patients who received PCI were included. The primary outcome of interest was bleeding, defined per the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC). Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACE); defined as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction or stroke, the individua...

Efficacy and safety of abciximab versus tirofiban in addition to ticagrelor in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous intervention.
The objectives were to assess the efficacy and safety of abciximab versus tirofiban in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and pretreated with ticagrelor, and to identify independent predictor factors of efficacy, bleeding and platelet drop. Three hundred sixty-two patients were divided by GPI administered. Clinical, laboratory, angiographic and outcome characteristics were compared. The primary objective was a composite efficacy endpoint (death from any cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke) at 30 days. The seconda...

Clinical Outcomes of Prolonged Antiplatelet Therapy after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Prolonged DAPT might decrease the risk of mortality, MACE, and stroke in patients with CKD without any significant difference in bleeding or revascularization. Additional studies are required to determine whether long-term DAPT could be considered for most CKD patients after PCI.Blood Purif

Remote ischemic preconditioning reduces thrombus formation in the rat
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is known to protect tissue from ischemia and has effect both locally[i] and systemically[ii]. Remote IPC (RIPC) induced by limb ischemia provides systemic protection against prolonged ischemia in the target organ. RIPC has been reported to reduce infarct size in patients with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary angioplasty[iii] and is currently evaluated in patients with ischemic stroke undergoing thrombolysis (NCT00975962). © 2013 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis

Blood Pressure Recordings During Hemodialysis Access Interventions: Implications for Acute Management
Abstract A retrospective study evaluating the pattern of blood pressure and its related complications before, during, and after percutaneous hemodialysis interventions was performed in patients presenting with asymptomatic hypertension. Hemodialysis patients undergoing percutaneous interventions including tunneled hemodialysis catheter insertion, percutaneous balloon angioplasty and thrombectomy procedure, and stage II hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg) were included in this analysis. Blood pressure medications were not used while midazolam and fentanyl were routinely administered. Patients were followed f...

CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED as predictors of outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Conclusions: High CHA2DS2-VASc score was the best predictor of thrombotic outcomes after PCI in a high risk AF population. High mHAS-BLED score was not predictive of bleeding events. More accurate, simple risk scores are needed.

Risk Assessment to Predict Arterial and Venous Events in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Atherosclerosis and venous thromboembolism (VTE) share common risk factors. We set to assess the strength of the association between atherosclerosis risk factors and disease manifestation, and VTE, in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. We pooled data from 6 global randomized controlled trials assessing coronary stenting (ENDEAVOR and SIRIUS programs), developed separate risk scores to predict major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) and VTE, and compared their performance. The 5-year rates of MACCE and VTE w...

The impact of renal function on platelet reactivity and clinical outcome in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting.
In conclusion, the magnitude of platelet reactivity as well as the incidence of HPR was higher in patients with CKD. However, since the incidence of HPR was similar after adjustment, a higher rate of co-morbidities in patients with CKD might be the major cause for this observation rather than CKD itself. CKD-patients with HCPR were at the highest risk of long-term cardiovascular events. PMID: 25231776 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
