AI Article Synopsis

  • - Stent thrombosis (ST) is a serious complication after coronary artery procedures, and the link between P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) levels and ST is still not fully understood.
  • - Analysis of 11,714 patients from the PTRG-DES registry found that higher PRU and aspirin reaction unit levels are independent predictors of early stent thrombosis (EST), which occurred in 51 patients.
  • - The risk of major cardiovascular events within a year was significantly greater for those who had EST (38.2%) compared to those who did not (3.9%), highlighting the importance of monitoring platelet activity after drug-eluting stent procedures.

Article Abstract

Stent thrombosis (ST) is a fatal complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The association between P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) level and stent thrombosis occurrence remains unclear. Based on the multicenter, observational PTRG-DES (Platelet function and genoType-Related long-term proGnosis in DES-treated patients) registry of patients with drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation, a total of 11,714 patients with PRU values were analyzed. We sought to identify the predictors of early stent thrombosis (EST) and compared the primary outcome, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and revascularization, between EST and non-EST groups. EST, defined as definite ST within 1 month after index PCI, occurred in 51 patients. PRU values were significantly higher in the EST group (263.5 ± 70.8 vs. 217.5 ± 78.7, p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, PRU ≥ 252 (OR, 5.10; 95% CI 1.58-16.46; p = 0.006) and aspirin reaction unit ≥ 414 (OR 4.85; 95% CI 1.07-21.97; p = 0.040) were independent predictors of EST. The cumulative incidence of primary composite outcome at one year was significantly higher in the EST group (38.2% vs. 3.9%, Log-rank p < 0.001). In patients treated with clopidogrel after successful DES implantation, EST was associated with higher platelet reactivities, and a greater risk of cardiovascular events.Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT04734028.

Background: Jailed wire (JW) in the side branch (SB) is recommended during coronary bifurcation provisional stenting, but real benefit is unsure. Our objective was to evaluate benefit of a JW technique in the CABRIOLET registry.

Methods: In CABRIOLET, including 500 patients, we compared the primary composite endpoint poor final SB angiographic result (TIMI flowB, thrombosis, residual stenosis>70%, or additional SB stenting) whether JW was performed or not.

Background: The classification of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) endpoints in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and either confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD) or high CAD risk, as well as the extent of the association between T2DM and coronary plaque characteristics, remains uncertain.

Purpose: This meta-analysis aims to compare MACE endpoints between patients with diabetes and patients without diabetes based on coronary artery plaques.

Methods: We searched studies from Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up until September 1, 2023.

Current situation and overview of resorbable magnesium scaffolds: a perspective for overcoming the remaining issues of polymeric bioresorbable scaffold.

Cardiovasc Interv Ther

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, 1-847 Amanuma, Omiya-ku, Saitama, Saitama, 330-8503, Japan.

Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) were developed as an innovative solution to overcome the limitations of metallic stents. While polymeric BRS initially demonstrated comparable clinical outcomes to drug-eluting stent (DES) in clinical trials, subsequent large-scale studies revealed that patients implanted with polymeric BRS experienced higher rates of scaffold thrombosis (ScT) and target lesion failure compared to those with metallic stents. Resorbable magnesium scaffolds (RMS) have emerged as a promising alternative owing to magnesium's natural degradability and favorable mechanical properties.

Case Presentation: An 89-year-old male who had been holding dabigatran in the setting of transcarotid artery revascularization presented to the emergency department with sudden onset leg pain and weakness. Computed tomography angiography revealed acute aortic occlusion and thrombosis of the bilateral common iliac arteries. He underwent aortoiliac and femoral embolectomies and stenting of the bilateral common iliac arteries and returned to his baseline functional status.

Background: Ruptured intracranial aneurysms lead to significant mortality and morbidity. Recent advancements have suggested staged coiling with subsequent flow diverter stent placement may reduce the risk of hemorrhage with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or stent thrombosis in the acute inflammatory phase after aneurysm rupture while still appropriately mitigating risk of aneurysmal rehemorrhage.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis was conducted.
