AbstractPrimary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to reducing the mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) even in cardiogenic shock and is now the standard of care in most of Japanese institutions. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Interventional and Therapeutics (CVIT) society proposed an expert consensus document for the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2018. Updated guidelines for the management of AMI were published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2017 and 2020. Major changes in the guidelines for STEMI patients included: (1) radial access and drug-eluting stents (DES) over bare-metal stents (BMS) were recommended as a Class I indication, (2) complete revascularization before hospital discharge (either immediate or staged) is now considered as Class IIa recommendation. In 2020, updated guidelines for Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) patients, the followings were changed: (1) an early invasive strategy within 24 h is recommended in patients with NSTEMI as a Class I indication, (2) complete revascularization in NSTEMI patients without cardiogenic shock is considered as Class IIa recommendation, and (3) in patients with atrial fibrillation following a short period of triple antithrombotic therapy, dual antithrombotic therapy (e.g., DOAC and single oral antiplatelet agent preferably clopidogrel) is recommended, with discontinuation of the antiplatelet agent after 6 to 12 months. Furthermore, an aspirin-free strategy after PCI has been investigated in several trials those have started to show the safety and efficacy. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the CVIT group has now proposed the updated expert consensus document for the management of AMI focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2022 version.

AbstractRotational atherectomy (RA) has been widely used for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to severely calcified lesions. As compared to other countries, RA in Japan has uniquely developed with the aid of greater usage of intravascular imaging devices such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT). IVUS has been used to understand the guidewire bias and to decide appropriate burr sizes during RA, whereas OCT can also provide the thickness of calcification. Owing to such abundant experiences, Japanese RA operators modified RA techniques and reported unique evidences regarding RA. The Task Force on Rotational Atherectomy of the J apanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) has now proposed the expert consensus document to summarize the contemporary techniques and evidences regarding RA.

Thrombolytic therapy kick-started the era of modern cardiology but in the last few decades it has been largely supplanted by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as the go-to treatment for acute myocardial infarction. However, these agents remain important for vast populations without access to primary PCI and acute ischemic stroke. More innovative uses have recently come up for the treatment of a variety of conditions. This article summarizes the history, evidence base and current use of thrombolytics in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract Background Previous studies associated midrange ejection fraction (mrEF) with impaired prognosis in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Purpose Our aim was to assess clinical profile and short- and long-term mortality of patients with mrEF after STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods This analysis included 8148 patients admitted for primary PCI during 2009–2019, from a high-volume tertiary center, for whom echocardiographic parameters obtained during index hospitalization were available. Midrange EF was defined as 40–49%. Adjusted Cox regression models were used to assess 30-day and 5-year mortality hazard of mrEF, with the reference category being preserved EF (>50%). Results mrEF was present in 29.8% (n=2 427), whereas low ejection fraction (EF<40%) was documented in 24.7% of patients (n=2 016). mrEF was associated with a higher baseline risk as compared with preserved EF patients, but lower when compared with EF<40%, in terms of prior MI (14.5% in mrEF vs. 9.9% in preserved EF vs. 24.2% in low EF, p<0.001), history of diabetes (26.5% vs. 21.2% vs. 30.0%, p<0.001), presence of Killip 2–4 on admission (15.7% vs. 6.9% vs. 26.5%, p<0.001) and median age (61 vs. 59 vs. 64 years, p<0.001). At 30 days, mortality was comparable in mrEF vs. preserved EF group, while it was significantly higher in the low EF group (2.7% vs. 1.6% vs. 9.4%, respectively, p<0.001). At 5 years, mrEF patients had higher crude mortality rate as compared with preserved EF, but lower in comparison with low EF (25.1% vs. 17.0% vs. 48.7%, p<0.001) (Figure). After adjusting for the observed baseline differences mrEF was independently associated with increased mortality at 5 years (HR 1.283, 95% CI: 1.093–1.505, p=0.002), but not at 30 days (HR 1.444, 95% CI: 0.961–2.171, p<0.001). Conclusion Patients with mrEF after primary PCI for STEMI have a distinct baseline clinical risk profile, as compared with patients with reduced (<40%) and preserved (≥50%) EF. Importantly, mrEF did not have a significant impact on short-term mortality following STEMI, but it did independently predict the risk of 5-year mortality.

Abstract Aim and objectives The aim of this study was to assess the impact of high intensity statins used prior to primary PCI in patients presenting with acute STEMI (ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction) on myocardial perfusion and in-hospital MACE (major adverse cardiac events). Patients and Methods The study included 170 patients who presented with acute STEMI to the cardiology department of Ain Shams university hospitals and underwent primary PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention). They were divided into two groups where the first group received high intensity statins (40-80mg of atorvastatin or 20-40mg of rosuvastatin) besides guideline recommended therapy before primary PCI and the 2nd group served as a control group and received guideline recommended therapy, and high intensity statins after going back to the coronary care unit after primary PCI. Post interventional thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade and myocardial blush grade (MBG) were recorded and ST-segment resolution was measured. Results The majority of patients in both groups had the LAD as the culprit vessel for their presentation. In the control group there were 4 patients with TIMI I flow and MBG I, 13 with TIMI II flow and MBG II and 68 with TIMI III flow and MBG III. Meanwhile in the cases group there was 1 patient with TIMI I flow and MBG I, 3 with TIMI II flow and MBG II and 81 with TIMI III flow and MBG III. This difference was statistically significant with a P value of 0.010. There were 34 patients in the cases group who showed complete ST-segment resolution (40%) vs 19 patients (22.4%) in the control group which was statistically significant with a P value of 0.013. In addition, ejection fraction measured by M-mode had values of Mean+-SD of 45.91 ± 5.49 in cases group vs 43.01 ± 8.80 in control group which was statistically significant with a P value of 0.011. There was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding in-hospital death of all causes and stroke after primary PCI. Conclusion High intensity statin loading before primary PCI resulted in improved post-procedural TIMI flow, MBG, complete ST-segment resolution and ejection fraction as measured by M-mode but did not decrease incidence of in-hospital MACE.
