Pitavastatin Compared with Differential Intervention Trial by Standard Therapy on Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Dyslipidemia on Chronic Hemodialysis (DIALYSIS): A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: Our study has demonstrated that aggressive intervention with pitavastatin is more effective than the standard (dietary) therapy for improving the clinical outcomes in patients with dyslipidemia on chronic hemodialysis.Blood Purif

Initial report of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure in hemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation and high risk of bleeding in Japan
AbstractIn the countries like Japan where anticoagulation is not recommended in hemodialysis patients, the feasibility of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in hemodialysis patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) accompanying high risks of thromboembolic stroke and bleeding remains unknown. Peri-procedural and 45-day clinical outcomes following LAAC using WATCHMAN system, which were performed in our institute between Jun 2020 and April 2022 according to the Japanese Circulation Society guidelines, were retrospectively compared between those with and without hemodialysis. 118 patients (median 79...

Valacyclovir-associated acute kidney injury and encephalopathy in an elderly woman with normal kidney function: a case report
CEN Case Rep. 2022 Nov 18. doi: 10.1007/s13730-022-00748-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 72-year-old Japanese woman was treated by 3000 mg/day of valacyclovir for the herpes zoster in her left back. She had been treated as hypertension with no renal insufficiency. In two days, she visited an emergency room of a regional stroke care center with dysarthria, dexterity disorder and gait disturbance. Neither head CT nor MRI found intracranial lesions, then, laboratory tests revealed that her serum creatinine level was 4.63 mg/dL. She was transferred and admitted to our hospital on the following day and received hemodialysis ...

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide predicts hospitalization for ischemic stroke in Japanese hemodialysis patients
ConclusionsElevated NT-proBNP level was associated with hospitalization for ischemic stroke, suggesting that NT-proBNP level is a valid biomarker for predicting hospitalization for ischemic stroke in HD outpatients.

Effects of cardiac surgical support on long-term outcomes of emergent or complex percutaneous coronary intervention cases: a sub-analysis of the SHINANO 5-year registry
AbstractSignificant improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technology have enabled cardiovascular procedures to be performed without onsite cardiac surgery facilities. However, little is known about the association between onsite cardiac surgical support and long-term outcomes of PCI, particularly among emergent and complex cases. We investigated whether the presence or absence of cardiovascular surgery affects the long-term prognosis after PCI, emergent and complex elective cases. The SHINANO 5-year registry, a prospective, observational, and multicenter cohort study registry in Nagano, Japan, consecutiv...

Impact of atrial fibrillation and the clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction from the K-ACTIVE registry
CONCLUSION: In Japanese AMI patients, AF was often observed and was associated with worse MACE but not worse bleeding.PMID:35216889 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.02.007

Duration and clinical outcome of dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective cohort study using a medical information database from Japanese hospitals
In conclusion, early DAPT discontinuation is more likely in patients at high bleeding risk, but may influence the occurrence of ischemic events in these patients. Determination of DAPT duration should take into account potential ischemic risk, even in patients at high bleeding risk.
