Objectives: We investigated whether side-branch loss during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) could adversely impact clinical outcomes.
Background: Side-branch occlusion during PCI has been associated with periprocedural myocardial infarction and higher incidence of major adverse cardiac event (MACE), but has received limited study in CTO-PCI.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and coronary angiograms for 109 consecutive CTOPCI cases performed at our institution during 2012 and 2013. Post-PCI patency of ≥1 mm diameter side branches and associated clinical outcomes were assessed.
Results: Mean age was 65 ± 8 years and 99.1% of the patients were men. The CTO target vessel was the right coronary artery (54%), circumflex (26%), and left anterior descending artery (20%). Side-branch loss occurred in 28 cases (25.7%) due to antegrade dissection/reentry (n = 9), retrograde dissection/reentry (n = 5), stenting over the branch (n = 12), and dissection during antegrade crossing attempts (n = 2). Recanalization of the occluded side branch was pursued in 8 cases (28.6%) and was successful in 4 patients. Patients with side-branch loss had higher post-PCI increase in CK-MB levels (8.4 ng/mL [interquartile range, 2.7-33.5 ng/mL] vs 1.8 ng/mL [interquartile range, 0.025-6.775 ng/mL]; P<.001) and higher 12-month incidence of all-cause death (17.3% vs 2.8%; P=.02) and cardiovascular death (7.4% vs 0.0%; P=.02).
Conclusions: Side-branch loss occurs in approximately 1 in 4 CTO-PCIs and is associated with higher risk for periprocedural myocardial infarction and higher mortality.

Assessment of fractal ratio of vessel diameters in coronary bifurcation lesions by angiography and intravascular ultrasound.
Cardiovasc Interv Ther
October 2024
Department of Cardiology, Osaka Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital, Osaka, Japan.
Physiological coronary branching at the bifurcation has a constant fractal ratio (FR) of the diameter of the mother vessel to the sum of daughter vessels on quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). We sought to investigate the FR of diseased coronary bifurcations using QCA and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and its impact on late lumen loss after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In multicentre prospective studies of the J-REVERSE and 3D OCT Bifurcation Registry, 402 and 109 bifurcations treated with stenting that completed QCAs and IVUS examinations, respectively were analysed.

Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
Background: Intervention on Type B dissection frequently requires landing the proximal edge of the stent graft between the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery (LSA). The Gore® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis (TBE) is a technology which allows LSA preservation with a single internal branch.
Methods: This study was a prospective non-randomized single-arm clinical trial of patients with type B aortic dissection that were treated with the single branched device.
Five-year outcomes of double kissing mini-culotte stenting vs. mini-culotte stenting using drug-eluting stents for the treatment of true coronary bifurcation lesions.

Department of Cardiology, Union Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Fujian, China.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of double kissing mini-culotte (DKMC) stenting with those of mini-culotte (MC) stenting in treating patients with true coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) in the clinical real world.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included 180 consecutive patients with true CBLs (Medina type 1,1,1; 1,0,1; 0,1,1). All eligible patients underwent coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention with two-stent techniques in our hospital; among them, 97 received DKMC treatment and 83 MC treatment.
Evaluation of models of sequestration flow in coronary arteries-Physiology versus anatomy?

Background: Myocardial ischaemia results from insufficient coronary blood flow. Computed virtual fractional flow reserve (vFFR) allows quantification of proportional flow loss without the need for invasive pressure-wire testing. In the current study, we describe a novel, conductivity model of side branch flow, referred to as 'leak'.

Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic vein harvest is a technique for creating brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistulas, and its use is not widespread despite its benefits, particularly in patients with obesity.
- A study evaluated this method in 11 patients, mostly overweight or obese, finding a 100% technical success rate and a maturation rate of 100%, with all dialysis-required patients successfully accessing their fistulas.
- At the one-year mark, patency rates were impressive, sitting at 90% for primary assisted and 100% for secondary, highlighting that this approach is effective even for patients with medical challenges like hypertension and diabetes.
