Background: The most common complication after coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the development of haematoma. Several changes in procedures regarding CA and PCI have been made in our department in recent years. The aim of this audit is to establish how many patients develop haematoma after CA/PCI via the femoral artery and subsequently to find predictors that increase the risk of developing haematoma. Methods: We initially included 474 consecutive patients-322 patients undergoing CA and 141 patients undergoing PCI. Eleven patients were later excluded due to the absence of complete data. Thirty-three variables were registered in order to find predictors, which might increase the haematoma frequency. A univariate as well as a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: Of the 463 patients, 6 patients developed a haematoma > 10 cm (1.3%) and 41 patients developed a haematoma > 5 cm (8.9%). The following factors were found to be associated with the generation of haematoma: Women, systolic blood pressure > 160 mm Hg, artery puncture > 1, sheath time > 16 min, ACT ≥ 175 s, Glycoprotein (GP) IIB/IIIa inhibitors, Low Molecular Weight Heparin before procedure, personnel change during compression, and anti-coagulant-treatment before procedure. Conclusions: The frequency of haematoma was 1.3% (> 10 cm) and 8.9% (> 5 cm), which corresponds with reports from similar studies and departments. The factors found to increase the risk of haematoma development can provide background for procedural changes and increase the focus on patients at increased risk in order to minimize the development of haematomas.

Abstract Background and Aims Contrast-induced nephropathy is a potentially serious complication following coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention . The association between severity of anemia and Contrast-induced nephropathy following coronary angiography is not well-established. In this prospective study, we aimed at assessing the association of anemia of various severity with the risk of Contrast-induced nephropathy in patients who underwent coronary angiography Method We prospectively enrolled 158 patients who underwent coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention from December 2017 to February 2018 at a cardiology department . CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level >25% or 0.5 mg/dL after 48 hours and anemia was defined as a value of Hb level ≤ 13 g/dl in male patients or ≤ 12 g/dl in female patients. Patients were stratified into three subgroups—mild (11.1 to 13.0 g/dL) in male patients and (11.1 to 12.0 g/dL) in female patients, moderate (9.1 to 11.0 g/dL) and severe anemia (7.0 to 9.0 g/dL). we used a multivariable logistic-regression model. Results 158 patients (females = 36.1%, mean age 60.0 ± 11 years) who underwent coronary angiography, 15 (9,5%) developed Contrast-induced nephropathy . Presence of anemia was associated with increased risk of developing Contrast-induced nephropathy (OR = 3.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03 to 8.96, p= 0,043). Risk of Contrast-induced nephropathy was increasingly higher with increasing severity of the anemia; mild (OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.38 to 2.17, p=0,036), moderate (OR = 3.3, 95% CI = 0.61 to 10.6, p=0,028) .There was no patient with severe anemia. Conclusion In conclusion, severity of anemia is a strong predictor of CIN following coronary angiography.

Abstract Background Gender disparities have been consistently reported in the nature, presentation, and treatment of coronary artery disease, leading to significant outcome differences. Previous reports have suggested that after adjusting for differing baseline and procedural characteristics female gender was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). We examined this issue using data from the Genesis Cardiovascular Outcomes Registry (GCOR). Methods We prospectively collected data on 10,989 PCI procedures from January 2009 to January 2018 from 12 Australian Hospitals, and compared the baseline patient and procedural characteristics and 1-year mortality by gender. Results Female patients were more likely than males to present with NSTEMI (23.0% vs. 21.1%, p=0.042), however less likely to have prior MI (19.5% vs. 24.2%, p<0.001) or PCI (28.8% vs 33.6%, p<0.001). Procedural success rates were similar between females and males (97.2%). On multivariate logistic regression, female gender had a higher rate of all cause mortality (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.31 to 1.07; P=0.08) but similar rates of MACE (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.07, P=0.42). Variables contributing to an increased risk of mortality in female patients, included a history of previous heart failure (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.15 to 5.22; p=0.02), myocardial infarction (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.09 to 3.90; p=0.026), and peripheral vascular disease (OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.32 to 5.47; p=0.006). Performing PCI to the LMCA significantly increased the risk of mortality in female patients (OR 3.84, 95% CI 1.14 to 12.9; p=0.029), and the use of BMS vs DES contributed to a worse outcome in women compared to men (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.84; p=0.012). The presence of hypercholesterolaemia in women significantly increased the risk of mortality (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.86; p=0.016). Multivariate logistic regression assessing 1-year outcome by gender for all-cause mortality, MACE, and unplanned admissions Outcome Male (vs female) Odds ratio 95% CI P-value Death (143) 0.58 0.31 to 1.07 0.08 MACE (334) 0.84 0.55 to 1.28 0.42 Unplanned readmission (888) 0.79 0.63 to 0.98 0.04 Conclusion Women have significant differences in baseline characteristics and increased all-cause mortality at 1 year compared to men, although overall MACE rates are similar. This study increases awareness of women at high risk, highlighting the need to improve the care of women undergoing PCI.

AbstractThe risk of malnutrition in acute kidney injury and mortality in coronary artery disease patients has not been studied. This study aimed to evaluate whether nutritional status assessed by Onodera’s prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was related to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes. A total of 3731 patients who received PCI between January 2010 and December 2018 were included. The relationship between PNI at the time of PCI and the occurrence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) and all-cause death was evaluated using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, respectively. AKI occurred in 271 patients (7.3%). A low PNI was independently associated with an increased risk of AKI on multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.94–0.98, P = 0.001). During the median follow-up of 4.3 years, Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with AKI/low PNI < 47.8 had a higher death rate. After adjusting for various risk factors, a low PNI was a significant risk factor for mortality (HR 0.98, CI 0.96–0.99, P = 0.003). A low level of PNI was associated with increased mortality, especially in the group aged over 70 years and female sex. PNI was closely associated with acute kidney outcomes and patient mortality after PCI.

Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes is frequently a diffuse process with multivessel involvement and is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and death. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease who require revascularisation has been debated and remains uncertain. The debate has been continued mainly because of the question to what degree an increased risk for in-stent restenosis among patients with diabetes contributes to other late adverse outcomes. This article reviews outcomes from early trials of balloon angioplasty versus CABG through later trials of bare-metal stents versus CABG and more recent data with drug-eluting stents as the comparator. Although not all studies have been powered to show statistical significance, the results have been generally consistent with a mortality benefit for CABG versus PCI, despite differential risks for restenosis with the various PCI approaches. The review also considers the impact of mammary artery grafting of the left anterior descending artery and individual case selection on these results, and proposes an algorithm for selection of patients in whom PCI remains a reasonable strategy.
