Ischemic stroke associated with left cardiac catheterization: The importance of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors
Background: Stroke associated with left cardiac catheterization is a devastating complication, and its incidence has not changed over the decades.We investigated the incidence, in-hospital outcomes and the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for periprocedural ischemic stroke.Methods: Our retrospective cohort study included all patients experiencing periprocedural ischemic stroke among the 24,500 patients who underwent left cardiac catheterization between January 2003 and October 2010. The case group was compared with a group of control patients randomly selected among those who underwent the procedure during this p...

Antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease in older patients
Conclusions Among older patients with AF and CAD, overall warfarin use was low. Patients ≥80 years old at highest stroke risk received warfarin in similar proportions to the overall cohort. Further investigation into optimizing antithrombotic strategies in this population is warranted.

Anatomic Runoff Score Predicts Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease Undergoing Revascularization
Conclusions After adjustment for clinical factors, the LE-PAD anatomic runoff score was an independent predictor of future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a broadly-representative patient population undergoing revascularization for symptomatic PAD. A clinically useful anatomic scoring system, if validated, may assist clinicians in risk-stratification during the course of clinical decision-making.

Influence of access site choice on incidence of neurologic complications after percutaneous coronary intervention
Conclusion: These results suggest that radial access is not associated with an increased risk of clinically detected NCs, even during a period when there was a rapid evolution in the preferred access site for PCI in the United Kingdom. These are reassuring results, particularly for operators embarking on a change to radial access for PCI.

Rationale and Design of the Fractional Flow Reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation (FAME) 3 Trial: A Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in Patients with Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease
Conclusion The FAME 3 study will compare in a multicenter, randomized fashion FFR-guided PCI with contemporary drug-eluting stents to CABG in patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease.

Risk of obstructive coronary artery disease and major adverse cardiac events in patients with non-coronary atherosclerosis: Insights from the veterans affairs clinical assessment, reporting, and tracking (CART) program
ConclusionsIn patients undergoing coronary angiography, non-coronary atherosclerosis was associated with increased burden of oCAD and adverse events post PCI.

Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention in cardiogenic shock: A single-center experience
Conclusions: Transradial approach for PCI is possible and safe in up to two-thirds of patients with CS. Absence of radial pulse was the main factor preventing use of TRA. In multivariate analysis, TRA was associated with a lower risk of mortality.

Sex differences in clinical outcomes in patients with stable angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease
Conclusions: Women with stable angina and nonobstructive CAD are 3 times more likely to experience a cardiac event within the first year of cardiac catheterization than men. A prospective trial to examine the impact of medical therapy on MACE in patients with nonobstructive CAD is warranted.

Prognosis of elderly patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention in 2001 to 2011: A report from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) registry
Conclusions: The prognosis of patients older than 80 years treated with primary PCI for STEMI was relatively unchanged during the 10-year inclusion period, despite changes in patient characteristics and treatment. Advanced age increased the risk of adverse events, but survivors of the early phase after PCI had a slightly improved prognosis compared with the general population.

PROspective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of chest pain: Rationale and design of the PROMISE trial
Conclusion: Multispecialty community practice enrollment into a large pragmatic trial of diagnostic testing strategies is both feasible and efficient. The PROMISE trial will compare the clinical effectiveness of an initial strategy of functional testing against an initial strategy of anatomical testing in symptomatic patients with suspected CAD. Quality of life, resource use, cost-effectiveness, and radiation exposure will be assessed.

Effects of Withdrawing Versus Continuing Renin-Angiotensin Blockers on Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Renal Insufficiency Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization: Results from the CAPTAIN Trial
Conclusion In patients with moderate renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization, withholding ACEI/ARB reduced (without statistical significance) the incidence of contrast-induced AKI. Additionally, a lower rise in post procedural creatinine levels was also noted. This low cost intervention could be considered when referring a patient for cardiac catheterization.
