ABSTRACT

Introducción: El infarto del miocardio tipo 4a es una complicación del intervencionismo coronario percutáneo que incrementa el estado inflamatorio de los pacientes. Objetivo: Evaluar el valor diagnóstico del conteo absoluto de neutrófilos en la aparición de infarto del miocardio tipo 4a. Métodos: Se realizó una cohorte prospectiva en el Hospital Hermanos Ameijeiras. El universo estuvo constituido por 412 pacientes a los que se les realizó intervencionismo coronario percutáneo en el período comprendido de noviembre de 2018 a enero de 2021, la muestra fue de 232 pacientes. Se definieron variables clínicas, anatómicas, e inflamatorias. Resultados: Existieron diferencias significativas entre los pacientes con infarto tipo 4a y los que no tuvieron esta complicación según las variables clínicas: edad, índice de masa corporal, diabetes mellitus, enfermedad renal crónica y disfunción sistólica ventricular. La elevación del conteo absoluto de neutrófilos posterior al proceder con un área bajo la curva de 0,947 tuvo buena capacidad de discriminación de esta complicación (p = 0,000). En el diagnóstico de infarto periproceder el conteo absoluto de neutrófilos fue 7,35 posterior al proceder, tuvo una sensibilidad de 91,3 por ciento una especificidad de 96,2 por ciento. Conclusiones: Los neutrófilos fueron sensibles y específicos para el diagnóstico de infarto del miocardio tipo 4a(AU)


Introduction: Type 4 myocardial infarction is a complication of percutaneous coronary intervention that increases the inflammatory state of patients. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of the absolute neutrophil count in the occurrence of type 4 myocardial infarction. Methods: A prospective cohort was carried out at Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical Surgical Hospital. The universe consisted of 412 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention from November 2018 to January 2021, two hundred thirty-two (232) patients form the sample. Clinical, anatomical and inflammatory variables were defined. Results: There were significant differences between patients with type 4 infarction and those who did not have this complication according to the clinical variables such as age, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and ventricular systolic dysfunction. The subsequent elevation of the absolute neutrophil count when proceeding with an area under the 0.947 curve had good ability to discriminate this complication (p = 0.000). In the diagnosis of periprocedural infarction, the absolute neutrophil count was ≥ 7.35 after the procedure, it had 91.3percent sensitivity and 96.2percent specificity. Conclusions: Neutrophils were sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of type 4 myocardial infarction(AU)

ABSTRACT

Infectious diseases socially imply individual and community medical problems. Therefore, they require actions aimed at social processes that affect the well-being of the individuals without losing sight of social groups. Faced with this panorama, we ask ourselves: is there a direct relationship between ethics and infectious diseases? To elucidate an answer, let us remember the peak period of the COVID-19 pandemic when guidelines based on ethical principles were issued to facilitate medical decisions on allocating scarce resources in periods of maximum demand. In those moments, since there was no inclusive component of society, the decisions made produced massive criticism. The reactions demonstrated the need to analyze in detail the criteria that had been considered correct. Consequently, we affirm that bioethical principles are transcendental in medical decisions and must be examined, not only for the individual but also with a view to public health. Moreover, the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic has lived with us for decades, and it continues to show its tragic face in the form of new cases, chronic illnesses, and deaths. Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS brings us closer to a complex reality where the fight against disease and global health are interrelated with other problems, such as the need to reduce inequality, for which human rights, gender equality, social protection, and the development of research projects, where the ethics committees in research in community processes are constituents.

Para dilucidar una respuesta, recordemos el periodo más álgido de la pandemia por COVID-19, cuando se emitieron guías fundamentadas en principios éticos para facilitar las decisiones médicas en la asignación de recursos escasos en periodos de máxima demanda.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La necesidad de racionalizar y optimizar el uso de las cesáreas es un reto internacional en salud pública. Para ello, la OMS recomienda el uso de la clasificación Robson, que permite comparar las tasas de cesárea en función del perfil materno-fetal. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la tasa de cesárea en el Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil La Paz de Madrid entre 2010 y 2018 por medio de la clasificación Robson. Material y métodos: La población analizada corresponde a los datos de los 41.037 partos registrados en el programa Obstetricia del Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil La Paz de Madrid de 2010 a 2018. Por medio del programa SPSS, se evalúa el cambio temporal en a) el porcentaje de partos (vaginales y por cesárea) respecto al total de nacimientos, b) la tasa de cesárea respecto a los partos vaginales y c) la contribución relativa a la tasa global de cesárea. Resultados: Las más elevadas contribuciones parciales a la tasa global de cesárea correspondieron a nulíparas con parto inducido, con cesárea previa, nulíparas con parto espontáneo y con gestaciones múltiples. El grupo de las nulíparas con parto inducido fue el único que registró un aumento significativo de su contribución a la tasa total de cesárea (30,4% en 2018). Conclusiones: Los resultados de este trabajo indican que el reto en salud pública es seguir evaluando la relación entre inducción del parto y riesgo de cesárea intraparto, particularmente en mujeres nulíparas, el grupo que registra la más alta tasa relativa de cesárea y en aumento significativo.(AU)


Introduction: The need to rationalise and optimise the use of caesarean sections is an international public health challenge. To this end, the WHO recommends the use of the Robson classification, which allows comparison of caesarean section rates according to the maternal-fetal profile. The aim of this study is to evaluate the rate of caesarean section in the Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil La Paz in Madrid between 2010 and 2018 using the Robson classification. Material and methods: The population analysed corresponds to data from the 41,037 deliveries registered in the Obstetrics programme of the Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil La Paz of Madrid from 2010 to 2018. Using SPSS software, the temporal change in (a) the percentage of deliveries (vaginal and caesarean) with respect to total births, (b) the caesarean rate with respect to vaginal deliveries and (c) the relative contribution to the overall caesarean rate is evaluated. Results: The highest partial contributions to the overall caesarean section rate were made by nulliparous women with induced labour, previous caesarean section, nulliparous women with spontaneous labour and multiple gestations. The group of nulliparous with induced labour was the only one with a significant increase in its contribution to the overall caesarean section rate (30.4% in 2018). Conclusions: The results of this work indicate that the challenge in public health is to further assess the relationship between induction of labour and risk of intrapartum caesarean section, particularly in nulliparous women, the group with the highest and significantly increasing relative caesarean section rate.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Antecedentes: El síndrome de Down es la anomalía cromosómica más frecuente y se asocia con defectos cardiacos congénitos, elementos clínicos de una alta morbilidad y mortalidad infantil. Objetivo: Describir los desenlaces clínicos de los pacientes con síndrome de Down sometidos a cirugía e intervencionismo como tratamiento de las cardiopatías congénitas en esta institución. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo que incluyó pacientes menores de 18 años con síndrome de Down y patología cardiaca asociada durante los últimos 10 años. Las variables estudiadas fueron: peso, talla, sexo, edad, tipo de cardiopatía, procedimiento correctivo, tiempo de estancia intrahospitalaria y en unidad de terapia intensiva, morbilidad y mortalidad. Resultados: 368 pacientes pediátricos fueron llevados a corrección quirúrgica o intervencionista, de los cuales 197 (54%) pertenecían al sexo femenino, la mediana de edad fue de 24 meses (rango intercuartílico [RIQ]: 14-48) en el grupo quirúrgico y de 36 meses (RIQ: 17-85) en el intervencionista. Las cardiopatías congénitas más frecuentes fueron: persistencia del conducto arterioso (31%), comunicación interventricular (28%), canal atrioventricular (CAV) (20%), comunicación interauricular (16%) y tetralogía de Fallot con el 4% respectivamente. La estancia hospitalaria fue de 9 días (RIQ: 7-15) en el grupo quirúrgico y de 3 días (RIQ: 2-5) en el hemodinámico. Las morbilidades fueron infección postoperatoria en 30 pacientes (14%) y en 19 pacientes (9%) bloqueo atrioventricular completo. La mortalidad global incluyendo tanto el quirúrgico como el intervencionista fue del 2%. Conclusiones: Los resultados terapéuticos, quirúrgicos e intervencionistas, en los niños con síndrome de Down y cardiopatías congénitas han mejorado en forma muy satisfactoria. Es de destacar la menor prevalencia del CAV en la población mexicana. Es indispensable realizar evaluación cardiológica a los niños con síndrome de Down y aquellos con cardiopatías congénitas llevarlos a corrección de manera oportuna para favorecer la sobrevida y calidad de vida.


Abstract Background: Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality, it is associated with a wide variety of congenital heart defects, being considered as clinical elements of high infant morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes of patients with Down syndrome undergoing surgery and interventionism as treatment for congenital heart disease at this Institution. Material and methods: 368 patients with Down syndrome and associated congenital heart disease were diagnosed. The variables studied were weight, stature, sex, age, type of heart disease, corrective procedure, length of stay in the hospital and intensive care unit, morbidity and mortality. Results: 368 pediatric patients underwent surgical or interventional correction. Of which 197 (54%) were female, the median age was 24 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 14-48) in the surgical group and 36 months (IQR: 17-85) in the interventional group. The most frequent congenital heart diseases were: PCA (31%), IVC (28%), CAV (20%), ASD (16%) and tetralogy of Fallot with 4% respectively. Hospital stay was 9 days (IQR: 7-15) in the surgical group and 3 days (IQR: 2-5) in the hemodynamic group. Morbidities were postoperative infection in 30 patients (14%) and complete atrioventricular block in 19 patients (9%). Overall mortality including both surgical and interventional was 2%. Conclusions: The therapeutic, surgical and interventional results in children with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease have improved very satisfactorily. The lower prevalence of the atrioventricular canal in the Mexican population is noteworthy. It is essential to carry out a cardiological evaluation of children with Down syndrome and those with congenital heart disease to correct them in a timely manner to promote survival and quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos: El tipo de primer contacto médico (PCM) en una red de angioplastia (ICPP) para el infarto con elevación del ST (IAMCEST) se asocia con diferentes grados de demora hasta ICPP y podría condicionar el pronóstico. Métodos: Registro de IAMCEST tratados con ICPP (2010-2020) en la red Codi Infart. Analizamos la mortalidad al año por cualquier causa según el tipo de PCM: servicio de emergencias médicas (SEM), hospital comarcal (HC), hospital de angioplastia (H-ICP) y centro de atención primaria (CAP). Resultados: Incluimos 18.332 pacientes (SEM 34,3%; HC 33,5%; H-ICP 12,3%; CAP 20,0%). La proporción de clases Killip III-IV fue: SEM 8,43%, HC 5,54%, H-ICP 7,51%, CAP 3,76% (p <0.001). Comorbilidades y complicaciones en el PCM fueron más frecuentes en los grupos SEM y H-ICP (p <0.05), y menores en el grupo CAP. El grupo H-ICP obtuvo el mejor tiempo PCM-ICPP (mediana 82 min); el grupo SEM consiguió el menor tiempo total de isquemia (mediana 151 min); el grupo HC obtuvo los mayores retrasos (p <0.001). En un modelo de regresión logística ajustado, los grupos H-ICP y HC se asociaron con mayor mortalidad, OR=1,22 (IC95% 1,00-1,48; p=0.048) y OR=1,17 (IC95% 1,02-1,36; p=0,030) respectivamente, y el grupo CAP con menor mortalidad que el grupo SEM, OR=0,71 (IC95% 0,58-0,86; p <0.001). Conclusiones: El PCM con H-ICP y HC se asoció con mayor mortalidad ajustada a 1 año en comparación con el SEM. El grupo CAP se asoció con mejor pronóstico a pesar de reperfusiones más tardías.(AU)


Introduction and objectives: Prognosis in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is determined by delay in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The impact of first medical contact (FMC) facility type on reperfusion delays and mortality remains controversial. Methods: We performed a prospective registry of primary coronary intervention (PCI)-treated STEMI patients (2010-2020) in the Codi Infart STEMI network. We analyzed 1-year all-cause mortality depending on the FMC facility type: emergency medical service (EMS), community hospital (CH), PCI hospital (PCI-H), or primary care center (PCC). Results: We included 18 332 patients (EMS 34.3%; CH 33.5%; PCI-H 12.3%; PCC 20.0%). Patients with Killip-Kimball classes III-IV were: EMS 8.43%, CH 5.54%, PCI-H 7.51%, PCC 3.76% (P <.001). All comorbidities and first medical assistance complications were more frequent in the EMS and PCI-H groups (P <.05) and were less frequent in the PCC group (P <.05 for most variables). The PCI-H group had the shortest FMC-to-PCI delay (median 82 minutes); the EMS group achieved the shortest total ischemic time (median 151 minutes); CH had the longest reperfusion delays (P <.001). In an adjusted logistic regression model, the PCI-H and CH groups were associated with higher 1-year mortality, OR, 1.22 (95%CI, 1.00-1.48; P=.048), and OR, 1.17 (95%CI 1.02-1.36; P=.030), respectively, while the PCC group was associated with lower 1-year mortality than the EMS group, OR, 0.71 (95%CI 0.58-0.86; P <.001). Conclusions: FMC with PCI-H and CH was associated with higher adjusted 1-year mortality than FMC with EMS. The PCC group had a much lower intrinsic risk and was associated with better outcomes despite longer revascularization delays.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos: Hay falta de evidencia científica sobre el papel de la ecocardiografía intravascular intravascular (IVUS) para guiar procedimientos de intervencionismo coronario percutáneo (PCI) en pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) y alto riesgo isquémico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue investigar el impacto clínico a largo plazo de la PCI guiada por IVUS en pacientes con IAM y alto riesgo isquémico. Métodos: Se seleccionó una población de 8.890 pacientes sometidos con éxito a PCI con stent recubierto de segunda generación entre un total de 13.104 pacientes con IAM incluidos en el registro Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institutes of Health. Los pacientes se clasificaron en 2 grupos según la presencia o no de alto riesgo isquémico, definido como la presencia de alguna de las siguientes condiciones: implante ≥ 3 stents, tratamiento ≥ 3 vasos, longitud total de stent> 60mm, PCI en el tronco, diabetes o enfermedad renal crónica. El objetivo primario fue el fracaso a 3 años de la lesión diana revascularizada, incluida muerte cardiaca, infarto de miocardio en el vaso objetivo y revascularización por isquemia relacionada con la lesión objetivo. Resultados: En 4.070 pacientes con IAM y alto riesgo isquémico, la PCI guiada por IVUS se asoció a un riesgo significativamente menor de fracaso a 3 años de la lesión objetivo revascularizada comparado con la PCI guiada por angiografía (6,7 frente a 12,0%; HR=0,54; intervalo de confianza del 95%, 0,41-0,72; p <0,001). Los resultados se mantuvieron tras el ajuste por posibles factores de confusión, ponderación de probabilidad inversa y emparejamiento por puntuación de propensión. Conclusiones: La PCI guiada por IVUS se asocia a una reducción significativa del fracaso a 3 años de la lesión objetivo revascularizada en pacientes con IAM y alto riesgo isquémico en los que se utilizó stent recubierto de segunda generación.(AU)


Introduction and objectives: Evidence for the role of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients at high ischemic risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the long-term clinical impact of IVUS-guided PCI in patients at high ischemic risk of AMI. Methods: Among 13 104 patients with AMI enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institutes of Health, we selected 8890 patients who underwent successful PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation and classified them into 2 groups based on whether or not they were at high ischemic risk or not, defined as any of the following: number of stents implanted ≥ 3, 3 vessels treated, ≥ 3 lesions treated, total stent length> 60mm, left main PCI, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. The primary outcome was target lesion failure including cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization at 3 years. Results: In 4070 AMI patients at high ischemic risk, IVUS-guided PCI (21.6%) was associated with a significantly lower risk of target lesion failure at 3 years (6.7% vs 12.0%; HR, 0.54; 95%CI, 0.41-0.72; P <.001) than angiography-guided PCI. The results were consistent after confounder adjustment, inversed probability weighting, and propensity score matching. Conclusions: In patients at high ischemic risk of AMI who underwent PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation, use of IVUS guidance was associated with a significant reduction in 3-year target lesion failure.(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder affecting one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. Despite its relatively low global prevalence, TN is an important healthcare problem both in neurology departments and in emergency departments due to the difficulty of diagnosing and treating the condition and its significant impact on patients' quality of life. For all these reasons, the Spanish Society of Neurology's Headache Study Group has developed a consensus statement on the management of TN. DEVELOPMENT: This document was drafted by a panel of neurologists specialising in headache, who used the terminology of the International Headache Society. We analysed the published scientific evidence on the diagnosis and treatment of TN and establish practical recommendations with levels of evidence. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of TN is based on clinical criteria. Pain attributed to a lesion or disease of the trigeminal nerve is divided into TN and painful trigeminal neuropathy, according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition. TN is further subclassified into classical, secondary, or idiopathic, according to aetiology. Brain MRI is recommended in patients with clinical diagnosis of TN, in order to rule out secondary causes. In MRI studies to detect neurovascular compression, FIESTA, DRIVE, or CISS sequences are recommended. Pharmacological treatment is the initial choice in all patients. In selected cases with drug-resistant pain or poor tolerance, surgery should be considered.

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos El papel de la coronariografía urgente y angioplastia, si procede, en los pacientes con parada cardiaca extrahospitalaria (PCEH) recuperada que no presentan elevación del segmento ST es controvertido. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar si la coronariografía urgente y la angioplastia mejoran la supervivencia con buen pronóstico neurológico en esta población. Métodos En este ensayo clínico multicéntrico, aleatorizado, abierto, incluimos 69 pacientes supervivientes a una PCEH sin elevación del ST y se aleatorizaron a recibir una coronariografía urgente (CU) o diferida (CD). El objetivo primario de eficacia fue el combinado de supervivencia hospitalaria libre de dependencia. El objetivo de seguridad fue un compuesto de eventos cardiacos mayores, incluyendo muerte, reinfarto, sangrado y arritmias ventriculares. Resultados Se incluyó a 66 pacientes en el análisis primario (95,7%). La supervivencia hospitalaria fue 62,5% en el grupo CU y 58,8% en el grupo CD (HR = 0,96; IC95%, 0,45-2,09; p=0,93). La supervivencia hospitalaria con buen pronóstico neurológico fue 59,4% en el grupo CU y 52,9% en el grupo CD (HR = 1,29; IC95%, 0,60-2,73; p=0,4986). No se encontraron diferencias en los objetivos secundarios, salvo por la incidencia de fracaso renal agudo, que fue más frecuente en el grupo CU (15,6 frente a 0%, p=0,002) y de infecciones, más prevalentes en el grupo CD (46,9 frente a 73,5%, p=0,003). Conclusiones En este estudio aleatorizado de pacientes con una PCEH sin elevación del ST, una CU no fue beneficiosa en términos de supervivencia con buen pronóstico neurológico comparada con una CD (AU)


Introduction and objectives The role of emergency coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in patients without ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. We aimed to assess whether emergency CAG and PCI would improve survival with good neurological outcome in this population. Methods In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, investigator-initiated clinical trial, we randomly assigned 69 survivors of OHCA without STEMI to undergo immediate CAG or deferred CAG. The primary efficacy endpoint was a composite of in-hospital survival free of severe dependence. The safety endpoint was a composite of major adverse cardiac events including death, reinfarction, bleeding, and ventricular arrhythmias. Results A total of 66 patients were included in the primary analysis (95.7%). In-hospital survival was 62.5% in the immediate CAG group and 58.8% in the delayed CAG group (HR, 0.96; 95%CI, 0.45-2.09; P=.93). In-hospital survival free of severe dependence was 59.4% in the immediate CAG group and 52.9% in the delayed CAG group (HR, 1.29; 95%CI, 0.60-2.73; P=.4986). No differences were found in the secondary endpoints except for the incidence of acute kidney failure, which was more frequent in the immediate CAG group (15.6% vs 0%, P=.002) and infections, which were higher in the delayed CAG group (46.9% vs 73.5%, P=.003). Conclusions In this underpowered randomized trial involving patients resuscitated after OHCA without STEMI, immediate CAG provided no benefit in terms of survival without neurological impairment compared with delayed CAG (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El intervencionismo ecoguiado ha supuesto un cambio en la forma en que los especialistas de medicina física y rehabilitación se enfrentan al dolor musculoesquelético y a otros problemas como la espasticidad. La implantación de las unidades de intervencionismo ecoguiado mejora los resultados de los tratamientos mínimamente invasivos, habituales en la práctica clínica de nuestra especialidad. El mayor inconveniente de esta práctica es la larga curva de aprendizaje y la dificultad para llevar a cabo prácticas durante los cursos de formación. Objetivo: Desarrollar un sistema de fantomas que permita la práctica de intervencionismo en modelos anatómicos acortando los tiempos de aprendizaje y mejorando la certeza al alcanzar el objetivo de la práctica intervencionista. Métodos: Se describe el método de fabricación de modelos tridimensionales de articulaciones a partir de imágenes obtenidas de tomografía axial computarizada, y su inclusión posterior en moldes realizados con gelatina alimenticia, que permiten obtener unos fantomas similares a modelos articulares reales que posibilitan su estudio mediante técnicas de ecografía y la práctica del intervencionismo ecoguiado. Conclusión: Los modelos articulares tridimensionales con gelatina alimenticia son útiles en la práctica y aprendizaje de las técnicas de intervencionismo ecoguiado articular.(AU)


Introduction: Eco-guided interventionism has changed the way Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialists deal with musculoskeletal pain and other problems such as spasticity. The implementation of the Eco-Guided Intervention Units improves the results of the usual minimally invasive treatments in our speciality's clinical practice. The biggest drawback of this practice is the long learning curve and the difficulty of practice during training courses. Objective: To develop a system of phantoms that allow the practice of interventionism in anatomical models by shortening learning times and improving certainty by achieving the objective of interventionist practice. Methods: Describes the method of manufacturing three-dimensional models of joints with images obtained from computerized axial tomography, and their subsequent inclusion in gelatin's made molds, which allow to obtain phantoms, similar to real joint models, that allow to study using ultrasound techniques, and the practice of eco-guided interventionism. Conclusion: Three-dimensional joint models made with gelatin are useful in the practice and learning of joint eco-guided interventionism techniques.(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The role of emergency coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in patients without ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. We aimed to assess whether emergency CAG and PCI would improve survival with good neurological outcome in this population. METHODS: In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, investigator-initiated clinical trial, we randomly assigned 69 survivors of OHCA without STEMI to undergo immediate CAG or deferred CAG. The primary efficacy endpoint was a composite of in-hospital survival free of severe dependence. The safety endpoint was a composite of major adverse cardiac events including death, reinfarction, bleeding, and ventricular arrhythmias. RESULTS: A total of 66 patients were included in the primary analysis (95.7%). In-hospital survival was 62.5% in the immediate CAG group and 58.8% in the delayed CAG group (HR, 0.96; 95%CI, 0.45-2.09; P=.93). In-hospital survival free of severe dependence was 59.4% in the immediate CAG group and 52.9% in the delayed CAG group (HR, 1.29; 95%CI, 0.60-2.73; P=.4986). No differences were found in the secondary endpoints except for the incidence of acute kidney failure, which was more frequent in the immediate CAG group (15.6% vs 0%, P=.002) and infections, which were higher in the delayed CAG group (46.9% vs 73.5%, P=.003). CONCLUSIONS: In this underpowered randomized trial involving patients resuscitated after OHCA without STEMI, immediate CAG provided no benefit in terms of survival without neurological impairment compared with delayed CAG.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Evidence for the role of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients at high ischemic risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the long-term clinical impact of IVUS-guided PCI in patients at high ischemic risk of AMI. METHODS: Among 13 104 patients with AMI enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institutes of Health, we selected 8890 patients who underwent successful PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation and classified them into 2 groups based on whether or not they were at high ischemic risk or not, defined as any of the following: number of stents implanted ≥ 3, 3 vessels treated, ≥ 3 lesions treated, total stent length> 60mm, left main PCI, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. The primary outcome was target lesion failure including cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization at 3 years. RESULTS: In 4070 AMI patients at high ischemic risk, IVUS-guided PCI (21.6%) was associated with a significantly lower risk of target lesion failure at 3 years (6.7% vs 12.0%; HR, 0.54; 95%CI, 0.41-0.72; P <.001) than angiography-guided PCI. The results were consistent after confounder adjustment, inversed probability weighting, and propensity score matching. CONCLUSIONS: In patients at high ischemic risk of AMI who underwent PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation, use of IVUS guidance was associated with a significant reduction in 3-year target lesion failure. iCreaT study No. C110016.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La estenosis aórtica severa es una enfermedad mortal en caso de no ser intervenida. Este estudio pretende conocer el impacto de la pandemia por COVID-19 en la mortalidad de pacientes con estenosis severa durante la primera ola y compararlo con el mismo período del año anterior. Métodos: Se analizaron mediante software basado en inteligencia artificial todos los pacientes que acudieron al hospital en una región española durante la primera ola y en el año anterior, evaluándose la mortalidad comparada entre pacientes con estenosis aórtica severa con y sin COVID-19 durante la pandemia y la era pre-COVID. Se comparó la mortalidad en tres grupos diferentes. En cuanto al número de cirugías cardiacas, se observó una tendencia a la baja en los pacientes sin COVID-19 con respecto al mismo período del año anterior (p = 0,07), y un descenso significativo entre pacientes COVID-19 positivo y COVID-19 negativo. Resultados: Durante la primera ola, acudieron un 13,82% menos de pacientes. Un total de 1.112 tenían estenosis aórtica, de los cuales un 5,48% fueron COVID-19 positivo. La mortalidad fue mayor (p=0,01) en COVID-19 negativo durante la pandemia (4,37%) frente a los de la era pre-COVID-19 (2,57%); también lo fue en el grupo COVID-19 positivo (11,47%) frente a los COVID-19 negativo (4,37%) durante la primera ola (p=0,01). Se observó una tendencia a la disminución de cirugías (p=0,07) en los pacientes COVID-19 negativo durante la pandemia y disminuyeron significativamente en pacientes COVID-19 positivo, frente a los COVID-19 negativo (p=0,04). Conclusiones: El estudio reveló una disminución de los pacientes que acudieron al hospital y un exceso de mortalidad en pacientes con estenosis aórtica severa sin la infección durante la primera ola, frente al mismo período del año anterior; y también, en los pacientes COVID-19 positivo, frente a los COVID-19 negativo.

Introduction: Untreated, severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis is associated with an ominous diagnosis without intervention. This study aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mortality of patients with severe stenosis during the first wave and compare it with the same period last year. Methods: All patients who went to the hospitals in an Spanish region during the first wave, and in the same period of previous year, were analyzed using artificial intelligence-based software, evaluating the mortality of patients with severe aortic stenosis with and without COVID-19 during the pandemic and the pre-COVID era. Mortality of the 3 groups was compared. Regarding cardiac surgeries was a tendency to decrease (P=.07) in patients without COVID-19 between the pandemic and the previous period was observed. A significant decrease of surgeries between patients with COVID-19 and without COVID-19 was shown. Results: Data showed 13.82% less admitted patients during the first wave. A total of 1,112 of them had aortic stenosis and 5.48% were COVID-19 positive. Mortality was higher (P=.01), in COVID-19 negative during the pandemic (4.37%) versus those in the pre-COVID-19 era (2.57%); it was also in the COVID-19 positive group (11.47%), versus COVID-19 negative (4.37%) during the first wave (P=.01). Conclusions: The study revealed a decrease in patients who went to the hospital and an excess of mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis without infection during the first wave, compared to the same period last year; and also, in COVID-19 positive patients versus COVID-19 negative.

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos Estudiar el impacto de la inyección intracoronaria de eptifibatida más vasodilatadores a través de un catéter de aspiración de trombos frente a la aspiración de trombos aislada en la reducción del riesgo de ausencia de reperfusión (no-reflow) en infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del ST (IAMCEST) con diabetes y elevada carga de trombos. Métodos Participaron 413 pacientes diabéticos con IAMCEST y elevada carga de trombos que se aleatorizaron a inyección intracoronaria (distal a la oclusión) de eptifibatida, nitroglicerina y verapamilo después de aspirar el trombo y previo al inflado del balón (n=206) frente a aspiración del trombo únicamente (n=207). El criterio de valoración principal fue el grado de blush miocárdico (GBM) y el Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count corregido (cTFC). Los eventos cardiovasculares adversos mayores (MACE) se notificaron a los 6 meses. Resultados El grupo de eptifibatida intracoronaria y vasodilatadores fue superior a la tromboaspiración sola en lo que respecta a la MBG-3 (82,1% frente a 31,4%; p=0,001). El grupo de eptifibatida y vasodilatadores intracoronarios locales tuvo un cTFC más corto (18,16±6,54 frente a 29,64±5,53; p=0,001), y mejor flujo TIMI-3 (91,3% frente a 61,65%; p=0,001). La eptifibatida intracoronaria y los vasodilatadores mejoraron la fracción de eyección a los 6 meses (55,2±8,13 frente a 43±6,67; p=0,005). No hubo diferencia en las tasas de MACE a los 6 meses. Conclusiones Entre los pacientes diabéticos con IAMCEST y alta carga de trombos, la inyección intracoronaria distal de eptifibatida más vasodilatadores fue beneficiosa en prevenir la falta de reperfusión comparada con la tromboaspiración sola. Se recomiendan estudios más amplios para investigar el beneficio de esta estrategia en reducir el riesgo de eventos clínicos adversos (AU)


Introduction and objectives To study the impact of injecting intracoronary eptifibatide plus vasodilators via thrombus aspiration catheter vs thrombus aspiration alone in reducing the risk of no-reflow in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with diabetes and high thrombus burden. Methods The study involved 413 diabetic STEMI patients with high thrombus burden, randomized to intracoronary injection (distal to the occlusion) of eptifibatide, nitroglycerin and verapamil after thrombus aspiration and prior to balloon inflation (n=206) vs thrombus aspiration alone (n=207). The primary endpoint was post procedural myocardial blush grade and corrected Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (cTFC). Major adverse cardiovascular events were reported at 6 months. Results The intracoronary eptifibatide and vasodilators arm was superior to thrombus aspiration alone regarding myocardial blush grade-3 (82.1% vs 31.4%; P=.001). The local intracoronary eptifibatide and vasodilators arm had shorter cTFC (18.16±6.54 vs 29.64±5.53, P=.001), and better TIMI 3 flow (91.3% vs 61.65%; P=.001). Intracoronary eptifibatide and vasodilators improved ejection fraction at 6 months (55.2±8.13 vs 43±6.67; P=.005). There was no difference in the rates of major adverse cardiovascular events at 6 months. Conclusions Among diabetic patients with STEMI and high thrombus burden, intracoronary eptifibatide plus vasodilators injection was beneficial in preventing no-reflow compared with thrombus aspiration alone. Larger studies are encouraged to investigate the benefit of this strategy in reducing the risk of adverse clinical events (AU)

ABSTRACT

Interventional radiology procedures have become a fundamental part of radiology, resulting in faster diagnoses and in safer, more effective, and more precise treatments, all of which are important, and even more so when referring to urgent situations, where time is of the essence. In this context, the use of ultrasound to guide interventional procedures enables real-time viewing in multiple planes that can be done at the patient's bedside, which is a great advantage in critical patients. We review the indications and technical aspects of the most common procedures related with radiological care of urgent patients.
