RESUMEN
The MitraClip G4 device has controlled gripper actuation (CGA) system, which allows the anterior and posterior grippers operate separately in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). We investigated the indications and outcomes of the use of CGA system during TEER for significant mitral regurgitation (MR). We reviewed 158 patients undergoing TEER with MitraClip G4 from September 2020 to July 2023. The CGA indications were: (1) for grasping and (2) for leaflet insertion confirmation. Leaflet grasping was completed with CGA in 18 patients (11 and 7 patients for grasping and leaflet insertion confirmation, respectively). Patients with flail leaflets or coaptation gap more frequently required CGA, indicating more complex mitral valve anatomy. The procedural success and adverse event rates (death, leaflet tear and single leaflet device attachment) were not different between the CGA and non-CGA groups. In patients requiring CGA, single leaflet device attachment was observed in 1 patient and leaflet tear in 1 patient during follow-up. In these two cases, CGA was required for grasping, and the clip was moved over a large distance (6.5 and 12.4 mm, respectively). In patients who had undergone CGA for confirmation, no device-related adverse event or MR recurrence was noted. In patients with complex mitral valve anatomy, CGA may be a safe and effective method for confirming leaflet insertion. It should be noted that when using CGA for leaflet grasping, especially when the clip is moved significantly, attention should be paid to leaflet adverse events.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Data on concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce.MethodsâandâResults: We investigated the risk of concomitant MR in patients with severe AS in the CURRENT AS Registry-2 according to initial treatment strategy (transcatheter aortic valve implantation [TAVI], surgical aortic valve replacement [SAVR], or conservative). Among 3,365 patients with severe AS, 384 (11.4%) had moderate/severe MR (TAVI: n=126/1,148; SAVR: n=68/591; conservative: n=190/1,626). The cumulative 3-year incidence for death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization was significantly higher in the moderate/severe than no/mild MR group in the entire population (54.6% vs. 34.3%, respectively; P<0.001) and for each treatment strategy (TAVI: 45.0% vs. 31.8% [P=0.006]; SAVR: 31.9% vs. 18.7% [P<0.001]; conservative: 67.8% vs. 41.6% [P<0.001]). The higher adjusted risk of moderate/severe MR relative to no/mild MR for death or HF hospitalization was not significant in the entire population (hazard ratio [HR] 1.15; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.95-1.39; P=0.15); however, the risk was significant in the SAVR (HR 1.92; 95% CI 1.04-3.56; P=0.04) and conservative (HR 1.30; 95% CI 1.02-1.67; P=0.04) groups, but not in the TAVI group (HR 1.03; 95% CI 0.70-1.52; P=0.86), despite no significant interaction (Pinteraction=0.37). CONCLUSIONS: Moderate/severe MR was associated with a higher risk for death or HF hospitalization in the initial SAVR and conservative strategies, while the association was less pronounced in the initial TAVI strategy.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention have improved with the use of drug-eluting stents, but data beyond 10 years are limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing sirolimus-eluting stent implantation with follow-up beyond 10 years and to determine the impact of clinical and angiographic characteristics on long-term prognosis. METHODSâANDâRESULTS: The clinical outcomes of 885 patients who had undergone sirolimus-eluting stent implantation at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Primary endpoints included in the analysis were clinically driven target lesion revascularization (cTLR) and target lesion revascularization (TLR). Univariate and multivariate nominal logistic regression was used for data analysis. The incidence rates of cTLR and TLR beyond 10 years after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation were 16.4% and 36.8%, respectively, with cTLR tending to decrease beyond 10 years. Acute coronary syndrome was a predominant trigger for cTLR. Age, statin use, and stent restenosis emerged as predictors of cTLR within 10 years, but no significant predictors other than age were identified beyond 10 years. CONCLUSIONS: Events continue to occur beyond 10 years after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation, with a trend toward an increase in acute coronary syndromes. It is important to be vigilant about the occurrence of acute coronary syndromes during long-term follow-up.

There were no data comparing the in-hospital outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with those after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in Japan. Among consecutive patients with severe AS between April 2018 and December 2020 in the CURRENT AS Registry-2, we identified 1714 patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (TAVI group: 1134 patients, and SAVR group: 580 patients). Patients in the TAVI group were much older (84.4 versus 73.6 years, P < 0.001) and more often had comorbidities than those in the SAVR group. In-hospital death rate was numerically lower in the TAVI group than in the SAVR group (0.6% versus 2.2%). After excluding patients with dialysis, in-hospital death rate was very low and comparable in the TAVI and SAVR groups (0.6% versus 0.8%). The rates of major bleeding and new-onset atrial fibrillation during index hospitalization were higher after SAVR than after TAVI (72% versus 20%, and 26% versus 4.6%, respectively), while the rate of pacemaker implantation was higher after TAVI than after SAVR (8.1% versus 2.4%). Regarding the echocardiographic data at discharge, the prevalence of patient-prosthesis mismatch was lower in the TAVI group than in the SAVR group (moderate: 9.0% versus 26%, and severe: 2.6% versus 4.8%). In this real-world data in Japan, TAVI compared with SAVR was chosen in much older patients with more comorbidities with severe AS. In-hospital death rate was numerically lower in the TAVI group than in the SAVR group.

A 38-year-old man without a history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination presented with dyspnea and fever. Polymerase chain reaction nasopharyngeal swab for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was positive. Electrocardiogram showed diffuse ST-segment elevation, and chest radiography showed mild pulmonary congestion. The left ventricular (LV) function was markedly impaired. Vital signs were unstable, and serum lactate level was elevated. The patient was diagnosed with cardiogenic shock due to COVID-19 fulminant myocarditis and received veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and Impella CP (Abiomed, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA). Remdesivir and intravenous immunoglobulin were also administered. Corticosteroids were not administered because of the absence of pneumonia. On admission, endomyocardial biopsy showed a small direct inflammatory infiltrate of the myocardium. During mechanical support, the cardiac function improved, the patient was weaned off VA-ECMO on day 6, and Impella CP on day 7. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging implied recent myocardial damage. The patient was discharged on day 30, and the LV function fully recovered. Since the treatment and prognosis of COVID-19 fulminant myocarditis remain unclear, we report the course of COVID-19 fulminant myocarditis with favorable outcomes. Mechanical circulatory support might be an important factor in determining the prognosis of COVID-19 fulminant myocarditis. Learning objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 fulminant myocarditis sometimes requires mechanical circulatory support. The prognosis and treatment have not yet been adequately established. The prognosis is favorable if adequate hemodynamic support is provided.
RESUMEN
The distal radial approach (DRA) has been proposed as an alternative approach for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, the predictors of DRA failure and puncture site complications are unclear. Among 7153 consecutive patients undergoing CAG or PCI between November 2018 and January 2021, 3610 patients undergoing CAG or PCI with DRA were analyzed. The primary endpoint of this study was the procedural success, and the secondary endpoint of this study was puncture site complications during procedure. Puncture site complications during procedure were defined as a composite of major bleeding, minor bleeding, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, and neuropathy. The DRA success rate and the puncture site complication rate were 90.4% and 7.7%, respectively. The predictors of DRA failure were low body weight and dual antiplatelet therapy; those of DRA success were PCI and ultrasonography-guided DRA; those of puncture site complications during procedure were low body weight, peripheral arterial disease, dual antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulant therapy, and PCI; and that of no puncture site complications were previous PCI and ultrasonography-guided DRA. The negative predictors of DRA success with no puncture site complication during procedure were low body weight and dual antiplatelet therapy. The positive predictor of DRA success with no puncture site complication during procedure was ultrasonography-guided DRA. We identified the predictors of DRA failure and puncture site complications during procedure in patients undergoing CAG and PCI with DRA. Ultrasonography-guided DRA was associated with a high DRA success rate and a low puncture site complication rate in patients undergoing CAG or PCI with DRA.

BACKGROUND: The Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) defined a consensus clinical criterion for patients at HBR undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to validate and compare the ARC-HBR criteria and the contemporary risk score for long-term bleeding outcomes using a cohort of patients undergoing PCI.MethodsâandâResults: This study analyzed 3,410 patients who underwent PCI between 2010 and 2013. The endpoint was defined as incidence of The Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3 or 5 bleeding events. In addition to ARC-HBR, this study validated the predictability of the Predicting Bleeding Complications in Patients Undergoing Stent Implantation and Subsequent Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (PRECISE-DAPT) score, Patterns of non-adherence to Anti-platelet Regimens In Stented patients (PARIS) bleeding score, and Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto (CREDO-Kyoto) bleeding scores for bleeding events. There was a trend toward an increase in bleeding events, as the risk score increased for all bleeding risk scores used in this study. The ARC-HBR criteria had higher diagnostic sensitivity for bleeding events than other bleeding risk scores. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a higher number of risk factors in each of the four bleeding risk scores had a higher risk of long-term bleeding events. In comparison to other contemporary risk scores, the ARC-HBR criteria were more sensitive in the identification of patients with bleeding events in the long-term.

BACKGROUND: There is scarce data evaluating the current practice pattern and clinical outcomes for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), including both those who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and those who were managed conservatively in the TAVI era.MethodsâandâResults: The Contemporary outcomes after sURgery and medical tREatmeNT in patients with severe Aortic Stenosis (CURRENT AS) Registry-2 is a prospective, physician-initiated, multicenter registry enrolling consecutive patients who were diagnosed with severe AS between April 2018 and December 2020 among 21 centers in Japan. The rationale for the prospective enrollment was to standardize the assessment of symptomatic status, echocardiographic evaluation, and other recommended diagnostic examinations such as computed tomography and measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide. Moreover, the schedule of clinical and echocardiographic follow up was prospectively defined and strongly recommended for patients who were managed conservatively. The entire study population consisted of 3,394 patients (mean age: 81.6 years and women: 60%). Etiology of AS was degenerative in 90% of patients. AS-related symptoms were present in 60% of patients; these were most often heart failure symptoms. The prevalence of high- and low-gradient AS was 58% and 42%, respectively, with classical and paradoxical low-flow low-gradient AS in 4.6% and 6.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The CURRENT AS Registry-2 might be large and meticulous enough to determine the appropriate timing of intervention for patients with severe AS in contemporary clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) and intracranial bleeding (ICB) are frequently observed as major bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, there are few reports on these predictors and their association with the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR).MethodsâandâResults: The study included 3,453 patients who underwent PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stents between 2010 and 2013. Mean follow up was 2,663±596 days. The cumulative incidences of GIB and ICB were significantly higher in the HBR group than in the non-HBR group (6.3% vs. 1.9%, P<0.001, 5.5% vs. 2.3%, P<0.001). Older age, oral anticoagulant (OAC), and severe chronic kidney disease were independent predictors of GIB (hazard ratios [HR], 1.64; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.11-2.41; P=0.012; HR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.23-3.05; P=0.004; HR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.02-3.19, P=0.043 respectively), and low body weight, OAC, and left main coronary artery stenting were independent predictors of ICB by multivariate logistic regression analysis (HR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.20-2.80; P=0.005; HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.31-3.19; P=0.002; HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.18-2.70; P=0.006 respectively). CONCLUSIONS: ARC-HBR was consistently associated with GIB and ICB within a 7-year period. GIB and ICB had three predictors each. Of these, only OAC administration was common, and the other two were different.

Anticoagulation therapy is prescribed for the prevention of recurrence in patients with venous thromboembolism, which could be temporarily interrupted during invasive procedures. The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling 3027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. We identified patients who underwent invasive procedures during the entire follow-up period and evaluated periprocedural managements and clinical outcomes at 30 days after invasive procedures. During a median follow-up period of 1213 (IQR: 847-1764) days, 518 patients underwent invasive procedures with the cumulative incidences of 5.8% at 3 months, 11.1% at 1 year, and 24.0% at 5 years. Among 382 patients in high bleeding-risk category of invasive procedures, anticoagulation therapy had been discontinued already in 62 patients (16%) and interrupted temporarily in 288 patients (75%) during the invasive procedures with bridging anticoagulation therapy with heparin in 214 patients (56%). Among 80 patients in low bleeding-risk category, anticoagulation therapy had been already discontinued in 15 patients (19%) and interrupted temporarily in 31 patients (39%) during invasive procedure with bridging anticoagulation therapy with heparin in 17 patients (21%). At 30 days after the invasive procedures, 14 patients (2.7%) experienced recurrent VTE, while 28 patients (5.4%) had major bleeding. This study elucidated the real-world features of peri-procedural management and prognosis in patients with VTE who underwent invasive procedures during follow-up in the large multicenter VTE registry. The 30-day incidence rates of recurrent VTE and major bleeding events were 2.7% and 5.4%.

Prolonged anticoagulation therapy is recommended for patients with intermediate-risk for recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The current study aimed to identify risk factors of VTE recurrence and major bleeding in intermediate-risk patients. The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolled consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE among 29 centers in Japan. The current study population consisted of 1703 patients with intermediate-risk for recurrence. The primary outcome measure was recurrent VTE during the entire follow-up period, and the secondary outcome measures were recurrent VTE and major bleeding during anticoagulation therapy. In the multivariable Cox regression model for recurrent VTE incorporating the status of anticoagulation therapy as a time-updated covariate, off-anticoagulation therapy was strongly associated with an increased risk for recurrent VTE (HR 9.42, 95% CI 5.97-14.86). During anticoagulation therapy, the independent risk factor for recurrent VTE was thrombophilia (HR 3.58, 95% CI 1.56-7.50), while the independent risk factors for major bleeding were age ≥ 75 years (HR 2.04, 95% CI 1.36-3.07), men (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.02-2.27), history of major bleeding (HR 3.48, 95% CI 1.82-6.14) and thrombocytopenia (HR 3.73, 95% CI 2.04-6.37). Among VTE patients with intermediate-risk for recurrence, discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy was a very strong independent risk factor of recurrence during the entire follow-up period. The independent risk factors of recurrent VTE and those of major bleeding during anticoagulation therapy were different: thrombophilia for recurrent VTE, and advanced age, men, history of major bleeding, and thrombocytopenia for major bleeding.

BACKGROUND: The association between renal morphological findings and changes in renal function in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is unexplored. AIMS: We aimed to investigate the association between renal morphological findings and changes in renal function in patients undergoing TAVI. METHODS: Among 283 consecutive patients undergoing TAVI between 2018 and 2021, the study sample included 224 patients. Renal morphological measurements were performed by preoperative multidetector computed tomography. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improvement and deterioration were defined as positive or negative changes in an eGFR of ≥10% one month after TAVI. The renal cortex thickness index was defined as the ratio of total renal cortex thickness to body surface area. RESULTS: The incidences of eGFR improvement and deterioration were 33.9% and 24.1%, respectively. The renal cortex thickness index had a significant correlation with changes in eGFR (r=0.34, p<0.01). The index of the area under the curve of renal cortex thickness for eGFR improvement and deterioration were 0.73 and 0.68, respectively. The cut-off values were 5.82 mm/m2 for eGFR improvement (odds ratio [OR]: 0.10; 95% confidence interval: 0.05-0.20; p<0.01) and 4.89 mm/m2 for eGFR deterioration (OR: 9.07; 95% confidence interval: 4.55-18.6; p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The renal cortex thickness index was associated with changes in renal function in patients who underwent TAVI. Its measurements might be useful for predicting the renal function change in patients undergoing TAVI.

The clinical outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) malperfusion caused by acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) remains largely unexplored. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PCI for LMCA malperfusion caused by AAAD. We examined nine consecutive patients undergoing PCI for LMCA malperfusion caused by AAAD between 1995 and 2020. The mean age was 55.4 ± 7.7 years. Eight patients presented cardiogenic shock, and five patients cardiopulmonary arrest. Two patients were diagnosed with AAAD before coronary angiography using computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiography, respectively, and in the other seven patients after coronary angiography using other modalities. Four patients underwent PCI on intra-aortic balloon pumping support, and four patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support, including one patient on both. PCI was successful in eight patients, with final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction grade 2 or 3. The four patients on VA-ECMO did not undergo aortic dissection repair due to poor recovery of cardiac function and died during the hospital stay, and the other five patients had successful PCI, underwent aortic dissection repair, and remained alive at 5 year follow-up. In conclusion, LMCA malperfusion caused by AAAD seemed to have clinical presentations and electrocardiogram changes similar to acute coronary syndrome. PCI and subsequent surgical aortic repair saved the lives of all AAAD patients with LMCA malperfusion who had not required VA-ECMO.

BACKGROUND: Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is essential to maintain the hemodynamics in selected patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). However, little is known about predictors and clinical impact of device-related complications on clinical outcomes in patients with MCS. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive 477 patients who received veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), Impella (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA), and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) from January 2012 to May 2020. After excluding patients with only VA-ECMO and patients with MCS for procedural support, 403 patients were included in this study. Predictors and clinical outcomes of device-related complications were analyzed. Furthermore, complication rates were compared between Impella and IABP groups in patients with and without VA-ECMO. RESULTS: Hemolysis, major bleeding defined by Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5 bleeding, thromboembolic events, and ischemic stroke were observed in 42 (10.4%), 150 (37.2%), 52 (12.9%), and 30 patients (7.4%), respectively. Patients with major bleeding had a higher in-hospital mortality than those without major bleeding (31.2% vs. 56.0%, p<0.001), whereas hemolysis (47.6% vs. 52.4%, p=0.32), thromboembolic events (38.5% vs. 40.7%, p=0.76), and ischemic stroke (48.5% vs. 39.7%, p=0.33) did not increase the in-hospital mortality. In multivariate analysis, both Impella and VA-ECMO were independent predictors of major bleeding and thromboembolic events. However, in-hospital mortality was similar between the Impella and IABP groups irrespective of the VA-ECMO insertion. CONCLUSIONS: Among several important complications in CS patients with MCS, major bleeding events most strongly affected the mortality. Implanted MCS type was associated with the device-related complications.

BACKGROUND: Calcified nodules (CN) have been reported as being associated with stent failure including in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, there is no systematic study of this condition. AIMS: We aimed to clarify the prevalence, predictors, and midterm results of ISR lesions with CN. METHODS: We examined the clinical characteristics of 651 ISR lesions in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with optical coherence tomography (OCT) between October 2008 and July 2016, and their 6- to 8-month follow-up angiography results. CN was defined as a high backscattering mass with small nodular calcium depositions which protruded into the vessel lumen. RESULTS: Thirty-two ISR lesions (4.9%) had CN. Multivariable analysis showed that calcified lesion (odds ratio [OR] 12.441, p<0.001), incomplete stent apposition (OR 3.228, p=0.005), haemodialysis (OR 3.633, p=0.024), and female gender (OR 3.212, p=0.036) were independently associated with ISR lesions with CN. Midterm follow-up was performed on 612 ISR lesions. Both ISR and target lesion revascularisation (TLR) rates were significantly higher in lesions with CN compared with those without CN (43.8% vs 25.0%, p=0.023; 37.5% vs 18.8%, p=0.020, respectively). However, multivariate analysis did not show the presence of CN as an independent predictor of re-TLR (OR 1.690, p=0.286). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of ISR lesions with CN was 4.9%. Calcified lesions, incomplete stent apposition, haemodialysis, and female gender are probably associated with CN formation. ISR lesions with CN may have poor midterm outcomes compared with ISR lesions without CN.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary bifurcation lesions using the 2-stent strategy remains a challenging procedure for interventionalists because of the higher incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and adverse events. ISR predictors in patients treated with newer-generation everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and the 2-stent strategy remain unknown. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the 1-year clinical and angiographic outcomes of non-left main trunk (LMT) bifurcation lesions treated with the 2-stent strategy using newer-generation EES.MethodsâandâResults:The study sample consisted of 262 non-LMT bifurcation lesions treated using culotte or T-stenting with EES between 2010 and 2018. One-year post-procedural angiographic and clinical examinations were conducted in 208 (79.4%) and 260 (99.2%) lesions, respectively. The primary outcome measure was the 1-year post-procedural ISR rate, which was found to be 15.9%. Independent predictors of 1-year post-procedural ISR were long side branch lesions (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-5.23; P=0.04) and 3-link EES implantation (aOR 2.45; 95% CI 1.07-5.61; P=0.03). The 1-year cumulative incidence of target lesion revascularization was 3.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The 1-year clinical outcomes of non-LMT bifurcation lesions treated with the 2-stent strategy using EES were acceptable. Long side branch lesions and lesions treated with 3-link EES were independent predictors of 1-year post-procedural ISR.
