Article Synopsis
- Older adults (age ≥75) undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable ischemic heart disease show higher all-cause death rates compared to those receiving noncomplex PCI, despite similar clinical characteristics.
- The study involved 513 patients with a mean age of 81 years and analyzed outcomes like event-free survival, mortality, and complications at 12 months.
- While complex PCI resulted in lower risk of target lesion revascularization, it did not significantly differ in bleeding events when compared to noncomplex PCI.
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) in older adults requires a meticulous assessment of procedural risks and benefits, but contemporary data on outcomes in this population is lacking. Therefore, we examined the risk of near-term readmission, bleeding, and mortality in high-risk cohort of older adults undergoing inpatient PCI for SIHD.
Methods: We analyzed the National Readmissions Database from 2017 to 2018 to identify index hospitalizations in which PCI was performed for SIHD.
Objectives: We sought to examine readmission rates and predictors of hospital readmission following TAVR in patients with ESRD.
Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with poor outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
Methods: We assessed index hospitalizations for TAVR from the National Readmissions Database from 2017 to 2018 and used propensity scores to match those with and without ESRD.
Despite broad treatment recommendations, there are limited published reports comparing the efficacy of different antihypertensive agents in patients with isolated systolic hypertension or isolated diastolic hypertension. This study was a secondary analysis of the Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial. We compared the use of chlorthalidone, amlodipine, or lisinopril on the primary outcome of combined coronary heart disease, stroke, or all-cause mortality in patients with isolated systolic hypertension or isolated diastolic hypertension.

Materials And Methods: MRI contrasts included fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), T1 pre-gadolinium (T1pre), T1 post-gadolinium (T1Gd), T2, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), susceptibility weighted images (SWI), and magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo (MPRAGE). The latter was used for MRI data registration across preoperative to postoperative scans.
