Background: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is one of the complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with high financial burden and poor outcomes. Dynamic coronary roadmap (DCR) is one of the augmentation tools that can provide a dynamic clear coronary mapping with the potential to reduce contrast use and CI-AKI incidence. Herein, we aim to systematically investigate the studies that have assessed the effect of DCR on PCI outcomes.

Methods: Four online databases including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and the Web of Science were systematically searched for relevant studies. Studies that compared the DCR group with the non-DCR group were included while the outcomes were AKI incidence, contrast volume, fluoroscopy time, dose area product, air kerma, intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) use, and procedural success. Random-effect meta-analysis was conducted to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) or odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for comparison of DCR and non-DCR groups.

Results: A total of six studies were included in the final analysis comprised of 447 patients in the DCR group and 527 in the non-DCR group. The mean age was 68.7 ± 10.6 years while 78.9% of the DCR group and 75.6% of the non-DCR group were males. There was no difference between the groups in terms of the rates of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, prior myocardial infarction (MI), prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and atrial fibrillation. Meta-analysis revealed that patients in the DCR group had a significantly lower rate of AKI (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.93, p-value = 0.028), and contrast volume used (SMD -1.16, 95% CI -2.15 to -0.18, p-value = 0.021). However, there was no difference in fluoroscopy time (SMD -0.64, 95% CI -1.43 to 0.16, p-value = 0.116), air kerma (SMD -1.81, 95% CI -4.61 to 0.99, p-value = 0.206), IVUS use (OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.73, p-value = 0.285), and procedural success (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.15 to 7.26, p-value = 0.957).

Conclusion: These findings show that DCR use is associated with a lower rate of AKI and lower contrast use, compared to conventional PCI. This is of particular importance since many patients undergoing PCI have limited renal function and hence will benefit from the use of DCR. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and to pave the way for the routine use of DCR in clinical settings.

Hemodynamic Valve Deterioration After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incidence, Predictors, and Clinical Outcomes.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Background: Reports on the durability of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) prostheses are scarce and confounded by varying definitions and competing risks of death.

Objectives: The authors sought to determine the incidence, predictors, and clinical outcomes of hemodynamic valve deterioration (HVD) according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 definition after TAVR.

Methods: We analyzed consecutive patients undergoing TAVR in the prospective Bern TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) registry between August 2007 and June 2022 for the incidence and predictors of HVD and performed case control-matching to compare outcomes according to HVD.

Aim: This research was designed to make a comparison of the treatment outcomes of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) in nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) with and without chronic dacryocystitis.

Methods: NLDO (obstruction group) and chronic dacryocystitis (dacryocystitis group) patients treated with En-DCR in the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from March 2021 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to CT dacryocystography, patients in each group were assigned into the high obstruction group (obstruction located in the lacrimal sac) and the low obstruction group (obstruction located at or below the junction of the nasolacrimal duct and dacryocystis).

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in treating small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and determine the role of PD-1 monoclonal antibodies in improving patient outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 37 SCLC patients who received PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors along with chemotherapy at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University between June 2018 and June 2023. Treatment effectiveness was measured by overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS), utilizing chi-square and T-tests, along with Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analyses.

Background: Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has shown promising activity in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC) and central nervous system (CNS) involvement. In this updated meta-analysis, we explore the effectiveness of T-DXd in a large subset of patients with HER2-positive BC and CNS disease.

Methods: A systematic search was made on September 16th, 2024, for studies investigating T-DXd in the scenario of HER2-positive BC and brain metastases (BMs) and/or leptomeningeal disease (LMD).

Background: Infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often associated with an unfavorable prognosis, posing a challenge in determining the optimal therapeutic approach. Immunotherapy, employing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has become a preferred first-line treatment for advanced HCC. However, the overall effectiveness of ICIs in patients with infiltrative HCC remains unclear.
