ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the effects of dual-antiplatelet medication time on efficacy and safety of postoperative complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and to provide evidence-based reference for the formulation of antiplatelet therapy after TAVI. METHODS: Retrieved from Cochrane clinical controlled trial registration center, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang database and CJFD, during database establishment to Feb. 2019, RCTs and observational study about efficacy (all-cause mortality and incidence of stroke) and safety (the incidence of major bleeding events) the effects of dual-antiplatelet therapy for postoperative complications after TAVI at different time points were collected. After data extraction of clinical studies met inclusion criteria, quality evaluation with Cochrane bias risk evaluation tool 5.1.0 (for RCT) or Newcastle- Ottawa Scale (for observational study), Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 and Stata 14.0 statistical software. Meta-regression analysis was also conducted for outcome and different treatment duration. RESULTS: A total of 3 RCTs and 10 observational studies were included, involving 2 868 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of all-cause mortality one month and 6 months after medication were 0.05 [95%CI (0.03, 0.07), P<0.001] and 0.07 [95%CI (0.05, 0.08), P<0.001]. The incidence of major bleeding events 1, 3 and 6 months after medication were 0.14 [95%CI (0.08,0.19), P<0.001], 0.11 [95%CI (0.03, 0.19), P=0.007] and 0.13 [95%CI (0.05, 0.22), P=0.002]. The incidence of stroke after one month after medication was 0.04 [95%CI (0.03, 0.05), P<0.001]. Results of Meta-regression analysis showed that the all-caused mortality [regression coefficient=0.005 7, 95%CI (-0.001 6, 0.013 0), P=0.116], major bleeding [regression coefficient=-0.000 5,95%CI(-0.022 4,0.021 4), P=0.959] or the incidence of stroke [regression coefficient=0.001 4, 95%CI (-0.003 8, 0.006 5), P=0.570] were not related to medication duration of dual-antiplatelet therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The prolongation of the medication time of the dual-antiplatelet therapy has no significant effect on the efficacy and safety of TAVI.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate effectiveness and safety of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) versus dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) on short-term complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane clinical controlled trials registry, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang database, CBM and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, RCTs and observational studies about effectiveness (all-cause mortality, incidence of stroke and incidence of myocardial infarction 30 days after operation) and safety (the incidence of bleeding events at 30 days after operation) of SAPT versus DAPT on short-term complications of TAVI were collected during the date of database establishment to Jan. 2019. After data extraction of included studies and quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0 (for RCT) and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) (for observational studies), Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. RESULTS: Totally 3 RCTs and 7 cohort studies were included, involving 3 188 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of all-cause mortality 30 days after operation [OR=0.48, 95% CI (0.32, 0.73), P<0.001] and the incidence of bleeding events 30 days after operation [OR=0.43, 95%CI (0.30, 0.59), P<0.001] in SAPT group were significantly lower than DAPT group, with statistical significance. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of stroke 30 days after operation [OR=0.63, 95%CI (0.38, 1.06) , P=0.08] or the incidence of myocardial infarction 30 days after operation [OR=1.09, 95%CI (0.46, 2.59), P=0.85] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with DAPT, SAPT can decrease the incidence of all-cause mortality 30 days after TAVI and the incidence of bleeding events 30 days after TAVI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the protective effect of Xinyi capsule pretreatment on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rabbits and its possible mechanism. Methods Ninety-four rabbits were randomly divided into 6 groups: model group (n=16), tirofiban group (n=16), high-, medium- and low-dose Xinyi capsule groups (4.0, 2.0, 1.0 g/kg;n=16 in each group), and sham operation group (n=14). Five days after intragastric administration with drug, myocardial ischemia reperfusion was induced by ligation of the proximal left circumflex artery. The electrocardiogram (ECG) was continuously recorded. The serum levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) were measured. Myocardial histopathological damage was evaluated. Results The changes of J-point amplitude on ECG in high-, medium-and low-dose Xinyi capsule groups (0.064 ± 0.049 mV, 0.069 ± 0.061 mV, 0.079 ± 0.060 mV) were significantly lower than that in the model group (0.158 ± 0.105 mV, P<0.01 or P<0.05), the serum levels of LDH (399.7 ± 202.3 U/L, 369.6 ± 229.0 U/L, 435.5 ± 152.4 U/L), CK-MB (900.8 ± 231.2 U/L, 1 268.3 ± 899.8 U/L, 1 386.7 ± 621.6 U/L), MPO (69.81 ± 5.51 U/L, 85.44 ± 10.31 U/L, 81.33 ± 16.87 U/L) were significantly lower than those in the model group (LDH:817.1 ± 401.9 U/L, CK-MB:2 071.3 ± 693.5 U/L, MPO:149.9 ± 20.11 U/L;P<0.01 or P<0.05). Histopathological examination showed that myocardial damage in high-, medium- and low-dose Xinyi capsule groups reduced compared with the model group. Conclusions Xinyi capsule pretreatment can protect against myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rabbits, and its mechanism may be related to inflammation inhibition.
