Objectives: The authors compared the risk of cerebrovascular events (CVE) with self-expanding vales (SEV) vs balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in patients with or without peripheral artery disease (PAD), stratified by the access route and the complexity of PAD (Hostile score).
Methods: The PAD-related risk of CVE between SEV vs BEV was investigated using data from the HOSTILE Registry, an observational study including 1707 patients with severe PAD undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) via different access routes. The relative risk of CVE with SEV vs BEV in patients without PAD was investigated in a meta-analysis of randomized controlled transfemoral access (TFA)-TAVR trials of patients with normal femoral arteries. The primary endpoint was the risk of 30-day CVE.
Results: Among the 1021 patients undergoing TAVR through TFA or transaxillary access (TAxA), 674 (66.0%) received SEVs and 329 (32.2%) received BEVs. The 30-day propensity-adjusted risk of CVE was higher for SEV compared with BEV (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 2.70; 95% CI, 1.16-6.23), with no significant interaction between the transcatheter heart valve and either the access route or the Hostile score. Similar results were apparent at 1 year (adjusted HR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.30-6.83). In contrast, in a meta-analysis of 4 RCTs and 2131 patients with femoral arteries suitable for TAVR, there were no significant differences in the 30-day rates of CVE between SEV and BEV (odds ratio, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.24-1.40).
Conclusions: Compared with BEVs, SEVs were associated with higher 30-day and 1-year rates of CVE in patients with PAD, a finding not apparent in patients with suitable femoral arteries enrolled in RCTs.

: This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of sarcopenia, defined by the cross-sectional area of the masseter muscle (CSA-M), as an early marker for sarcopenia diagnosis and its association with mortality in patients with cerebrovascular events (CVE). In this retrospective cohort study, 120 patients aged 65 years or older with CVE admitted to Bilkent City Hospital between September 2020 and September 2023 were included. Patients with malignancy, prior CVE, or incomplete data were excluded.

Background: Traditional risk factors cannot accurately predict cardiovascular events (CVE) in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The LIPOCAT study aimed to prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of advanced lipoprotein characteristics and glycoproteins to predict future cardiovascular events (CVE) in a large cohort of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).
Methods: From four different Spanish prospective cohorts, a total of 933 T2D subjects were selected to form the LIPOCAT study.

Aims: Risk estimation of different types of cardiovascular events (CVE) following a hospitalisation for exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (exCOPD) is warranted to consider prevention.
Methods: A case-crossover study was conducted using the French exhaustive hospital discharge database (2013-2019). Case-patients had a diagnosis of COPD, hospitalised for a CVE in France in 2018-2019 (admission date was index date) with no other CVE in ≤12 months, and had ≥1 hospitalisation for exCOPD ≤24 weeks before index CVE.
Aim: To determine the characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques (ASP) remaining after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), that are significantly associated with cardiovascular events (CVE), according to computed tomography angiography (CTA) data.
Material And Methods: CTA was performed in 249 ACS patients on days 3-7 of the disease (in 41 patients, on a 64-slice CT scanner, and in the rest, on a 320-slice CT scanner). CTA data of all patients were analyzed on a Vitrea workstation.
