Immediate coronary artery bypass graft surgery for acute coronary syndrome – Outcomes and trends over the past eight years
Conclusions The analysis of our patient file shows a decreasing trend in the number of patients undergoing emergency surgery due to ACS in our centre in the course of the last eight years. Between 2010 and 2013, the proportional representation of patients undergoing surgery due to UA decreased, while the percentage of patients undergoing surgery due to AMI and CS increased. Within the population of patients with ACS, we were also able to determine an increased frequency of some risk factors and increased thirty-day mortality among patients undergoing surgery.

Aortic infective endocarditis: Value of surgery. About 48 cases.
CONCLUSION: The prognosis of infective endocarditis of the aortic valve is severe due to the fast progression to heart failure. Early medical and surgical approach provides good results on morbidity and mortality in the short- and mid-terms. PMID: 25813653 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

0120: B-type Nt-proBNP as a marker for contrast induced nephropathy in patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Drug-eluting stents vs. bare metal stents in patients with cardiogenic shock: a comparison by propensity score analysis
Background: In patients with cardiogenic shock, data on the comparative safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents (DESs) vs. bare metal stents (BMSs) are lacking. We sought to assess the performance of DESs compared with BMSs among patients with cardiogenic shock undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Out of 236 patients with acute coronary syndromes complicated by cardiogenic shock, 203 were included in the final analysis. The primary endpoint included death, and the secondary endpoint of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) included the composite of death, myocardial infarctio...

A regional pharmacoinvasive PCI strategy incorporating selected bleeding avoidance strategies
ConclusionBleeding and ischemia rates were similar between the PIT and primary PCI strategies in the setting of routine use of selected BAS; further study on a broader range of BAS including the radial approach may be warranted. Cardiac arrest and bailout glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, but not PIT in conjunction with selected BAS, are independent predictors of bleeding risk in a regional ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction population.

Off-hour admission and outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions
Conclusions Patients who were admitted during off-hours did not have higher mortality or readmission rates as compared with ones admitted during regular hours at an academic medical center.

Platelet aggregation inhibition by Eptifibatide versus high dose Tirofiban during primary percutaneous interventions
Conclusions • Platelet aggregation inhibition during PCI was significantly correlated with STR and MBG. Platelet aggregation inhibition cut-off point as a predictor of STR >70% was 89.5%, and as a predictor of MBG 2–3 was 87.5%. • Eptifibatide achieves better platelet aggregation inhibition 60min after bolus and 6h after PCI than high dose Tirofiban. • Eptifibatide is associated with better myocardial perfusion as indicated by post procedural mean MBG and STR >70% than high dose Tirofiban. • There was no significant differences between Eptifibatide and high dose Tirofiban regarding thrombocytope...

Regional Variation Across the United States in Management and Outcomes of ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Analysis of the 2003 to 2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database
ConclusionsDespite higher reperfusion and revascularization rates, STEMI patients in the Midwest, West, and South have paradoxically higher risk‐adjusted in‐hospital mortality as compared with patients in the Northeast.

Does remote ischaemic preconditioning with postconditioning improve clinical outcomes of patients undergoing cardiac surgery? Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning with Postconditioning Outcome Trial
Conclusion Remote ischaemic preconditioning with RIPostC by transient upper limb ischaemia did not improve clinical outcome in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Clinical Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov, NCT00997217.

Outcome of primary PCI - An Indian tertiary care center experience.
CONCLUSION: Our study has shown that PPCI is feasible with good outcomes in Indian scenario. Even though the recommended door-to-balloon time can be achieved, the total ischemic time remained long. CS in the setting of STEMI was associated with poor outcomes. PMID: 24581092 [PubMed - in process]

Thrombolytic Therapy for Thrombosis of Continuous Flow Ventricular Assist Devices
Conclusions: In the setting of LVAD thrombosis, thrombolytic therapy is an alternate treatment strategy in a subset of patients. Candidacy for this alternate procedure must carefully weigh the risks of complications, including hemorrhage and thromboembolism.

The Current Use of Impella 2.5 in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: Results from the USpella Registry
ConclusionsThe results of our study suggest that early initiation of hemodynamic support prior to PCI with Impella 2.5 is associated with more complete revascularization and improved survival in the setting of refractory CS complicating an AMI.

Results of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients ≥75 Years Treated by the Transradial Approach
In conclusion, TRA-PPCI was feasible in the vast majority of elderly patients with STEMI. In-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and 1-year MACE were lower than reported for transfemoral access, suggesting a benefit of the TRA in these patients.

Radial versus femoral approach comparison in percutaneous coronary intervention with intraaortic balloon pump support: The RADIAL PUMP UP Registry
Background: The role of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in high-risk acute patients remains debated. Device-related complications and the more complex patient management could explain such lack of clinical benefit. We aimed to assess the impact of transradial versus transfemoral access for PCI requiring IABP support on vascular complications and clinical outcome.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 321 consecutive patients receiving IABP support during transfemoral (n = 209) or transradial (n = 112) PCI. Thirty-day net adverse clinical events (NACEs) (composite of postprocedu...
