Background: Aim of the study was to evaluate the primary procedural success of percutaneous coronary intervention of unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis using either Bare-metal stents or drug eluting stent. Methods: Total 33 patients were enrolled in this very preliminary non-randomized prospective cohort study. Among them, Male: 25 and Female: 8. Total 35 stents were deployed. Mean age were for Male: 59 yrs, for Female: 62 yrs. Associated coronary artery diseases risk factors were dyslipidemia, High Blood pressure, Diabetes Mellitus, Positive family history for coronary artery diseases and smoking. Results: Among the study group; 26 (78%) were Dyslipidemic, 24(70%) were hypertensive; 17 (51.5%) patients were Diabetic, 11(33%) were smoker and 7(21%) patients had family history of Ischaemic heart disease. Female patients were more obese (BMI M 26: F 27) and developed coronary artery diseases in advance age. Common stented territory were left main: 20 (60%), Left main to left anterior descending artery 7 (22%) and Left main to left circumflex artery 6 (18%). Average length and diameter of stent was 3.5 and 18 mm respectively. Stent used: Bare Metal Stent 5 (15%), Drug Eluting Stent: 28 (85%). Among the different Drug Eluting Stents, Everolimus eluting stents were 11 (39.3%), Sirolimus eluting 10(35.7%), Paclitaxel eluting 3 (10.7%), Biolimus eluting 3 (10.7%) and Zotarolimus eluting1 (3.6%). In the present study, overall survival outcome was 94% (31 patient), mortality of cardiac cause 3% (1 patient) and 1 patient (3%) died of hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusion: Our study has shown that percutaneous coronary intervention of the unprotected left main is a safe and effective alternative to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).

The aim of the paper is to correlate the results of endovascular myocardial revascularization (EMR) in patients under 40 years of age with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) / stable angina, primary EMR age ≤35/36–40 and stent diameter. Materials and Methods. The authors examined 208 patients (24–40 years of age) with coronary artery disease: 157 patients (75.5 %) aged 36–40; 51 patients (24.5 %) aged ≤35. All in all, 165 (79.3 %) patients underwent EMR; 32 patients (15.4 %) underwent coronary artery bypass grafting; 11 patients (5.3 %) refused medical intervention. EMR results and the quality of life were studied in 126 patients (76.4 %) at 10–107 months of observation (62.5±2.6 months). Results. 84 patients with ACS (50.9 %) and 81 patients with stable angina (49.1 %) underwent EMR. There were no any peri-procedural complications. The authors observed 0 % hospital and 30-day mortality. The survival rate of patients for the period up to 9 years was 99.2 %; long-term mortality was 0.8 %; the constancy of results up to 1, 2 and 3 years of follow-up was 90.5 %, 84.1 % and 81.7 %, respectively, and up to 5–9 years it was 79.4 %. An active lifestyle was verified in 74.6 % of patients; a sparing lifestyle was observed in 25.4 %; 86.5 %, of patients returned to work; transient sexual disorders were found in 28.6% of patients. 83.3 % and 27.8 % of patients kept to drug therapy and dietary regimen. 34.1 % and 23.8 % of patients kept smoking and taking power drinks; overweight and obesity were observed in 23.8 % and 19 % of patients. Recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) / angina was verified in 23 % of patients; 20.6 % of patients underwent second EMR. 23 % of patients got depressed due to recurrent myocardial infarction / angina, while 18.3 % of patients were down due to the quarantine (COVID-19); 6.3 % suffered from panic attacks, for fear of recurrent anginous pain. Conclusion. Predictors of recurrent EMR and stability of results were: 1) ACS; 2) patients’ age (≤35); 3) history of MI, ejection fraction ≤35–40 %, diabetes; 4) stent diameter (<28 mm); 5) smoking and taking power drinks. The leading predictor was the aggressiveness of atherosclerosis and diabetes in persons under 40, causing: a) early stent dysfunction; b) native and “protected” coronary vessels damage in case of intact stents patency.

Aim: Apart from the modifiable risk factors, genetic factors are believed to also influence the outcome of the coronary artery diseases (CAD). Under the genetic factors, miRNA polymorphisms, namely Hsa-miR-146a-5p (rs2910164) have become an important tool to study the mechanism that underlies the pathogenesis of this disease. Therefore, we investigated the association of miR-146a gene variations with susceptibility of coronary artery diseases. Methodology: This study was conducted on 100 CAD patients and 117 matched healthy individuals. Genotyping of the Hsa-miR-146a-5p C>G gene variation was performed by using amplification refractory mutation system PCR method (ARMS-PCR). Results: The distribution of Hsa-miR-146a-5p rs2910164 C>G genotypes observed between patients and controls was significantly different (P=0.048). Moreover, the frequency of G allele (fG) was found to be significantly higher among patients than in controls (0.36 vs. 0.25). Our findings showed that the Hsa-miR-146a-5p C>G variant was associated with an increased risk of CAD in codominant inheritance model CC vs. CG genotype (OR = 1.84, 95 % CI, 1.02-3.31; p=0.040) and (OR = 3.18, 95 % CI, 1.02-9.9; p=0.045) for CC vs. GG genotype in dominant inheritance model. Whereas the G allele significantly increased the risk of coronary artery disease (OR =1,81, 95 % CI, 1.18-2.78; p=0.006) compared to C allele. Taken together, these results demonstrated that miR-146a/rs2910164 is associated with susceptibility to coronary artery disease, providing novel insights into the genetic etiology and underlying biology of coronary artery disease. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that Hsa-miR-146a-5p rs2910164 GG genotype and G allele are associated with an increased susceptibility to Coronary Artery Disease. A larger sample size can be the key to progress in establishing the genetic co-relation of miRNA gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract Background Klotho, which was originally identified as an aging suppressor, is a key regulator of bone and mineral metabolism. Transmembrane and soluble forms of Klotho protein have been identified. The transmembrane form serves as an obligate co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). However, the physiological importance of soluble form of Klotho has not been determined. Purpose The present study aimed to test the hypothesis that circulating soluble Klotho levels can predict the presence or extent of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods We analyzed CAC of culprit lesions in patients with 75 stable angina pectoris who were not on dialysis and were scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Arc and length of each calcium within the culprit lesion was measured by IVUS. The main outcome measure was the calcium index; a volumetric IVUS-derived measure which was calculated as total calcium length/lesion length × maximal calcium arc/360°. Low calcium index was defined as calcium index <0.042 of the first quartile value. Serum Klotho and FGF23 were measured before PCI. Patients were divided into two groups according to median serum Klotho value: low-Klotho (n=37, ≤460 pg/mL) and high-Klotho group (n=38, >460 pg/mL). Results Compared with patients with low-Klotho, those with high-Klotho had higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (69±20 vs. 55±16 mL/min/1.73 m2, p<0.001), lower FGF23 levels (51±24 vs. 67±41 pg/mL, p=0.010). Patients with high-Klotho had significantly lower calcium index than those with low-Klotho (0.17±0.21 vs. 0.24±0.23, p=0.043). Serum Klotho levels correlated significantly and inversely with calcium index (r=−0.31, p=0.006). The correlation between Klotho and calcium index was pronounced at analysis in patients with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (r=−0.52, p<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that high-Klotho is a sole significant independent factor associated with low calcium index (odds ratio 7.17, p=0.004). Presence of high-Klotho had high sensitivity and negative predictive value for identifying low calcium index (83% and 92%, respectively). Conclusions Serum Klotho values were independently and inversely associated with the degree of CAC assessed by IVUS. These findings have important clinical implications for serum Klotho as a biomarker that reflects the extent of CAC.

Abstract Background Early identification of vulnerable plaques by remodeling index prior to rupture and development of acute event is of considerable importance especially by a reliable non-invasive method as CT coronary angiography (CTA), so we aim to evaluate coronary artery remodeling index in patients with low- to intermediate-risk stable angina by CTA. Results This single-center, cross-sectional, observational study included 150 patients with stable angina with normal resting ECG, negative markers, normal systolic function by 2D echocardiography (EF > 50%), and without regional wall motion abnormality at rest who were referred to MSCT evaluation of the coronary artery tree; the mean age was 56.8 ± 6.4 years, 83.3% had one-vessel disease, and 16.7% had two-vessel diseases. The mean remodeling index (RI) was 1.04 ± 0.28, 38% had significant positive remodeling, LAD was the most affected vessel (55.3), and proximal lesions were predominant in 48.5%; there was a statistically significant positive correlation between RI and cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, duration of DM, HBA1c, and plaque burden (P < 0.001) and a statistically significant negative correlation with HDL (P < 0.001). Predictors of higher RI were positive family history, diabetes mellitus, low HDL, HBA1c, and plaque burden% (P < 0.001). Patients with remodeling index > 1.1 were diabetic, hypertensive, smoker, with longer duration of diabetes mellitus, higher HBA1c, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, plaque burden, wall lumen ratio, stenosis area, and lower HDL. Conclusion CTA was able to detect the presence and extent of early, non-obstructive but significant coronary artery-positive remodeling in patients with low- to intermediate-risk stable angina patients.

Abstract Background/Introduction Revascularization of the proximal segment of left anterior descending artery (pLAD) demonstrates an additional prognostic significance in survival for patients with multivessel disease. It is also indicated for symptomatic relief in patients with stable angina who are receiving optimal medical treatment in the presence of limiting angina or angina equivalent. Both coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are still commonly needed as therapeutic options for pLAD disease. Moreover, Everolimus-eluting stents (EES) have demonstrated superiority in safety and efficacy among other types of second or new generation drug-eluting stents. Purpose We aim to evaluate the long-term outcomes of PCI with EES compared to CABG surgery with left internal mammary artery, in patients with stable angina and an isolated single vessel pLAD disease. Methods The sample consisted of 824 patients with isolated pLAD and chronic stable angina; 445 participants were included in the EES-PCI group, and 379 were included in the CABG group. The study's primary endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), namely, cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) not attributed to a non-target vessel and target lesion revascularization as a composite index. Secondary endpoints were Patient-Related Outcome (PRO; a composite index of all-cause mortality, any MI related to any coronary artery, any revascularization conducted to any coronary artery), individual components of MACEs, recurrence of stable or unstable angina or a nonfatal arrhythmia and disease progression of other lesions. For the comparisons between the two groups, chi-square tests and Fisher's exact tests, were used, as appropriate. Results During the 4.6 years of follow-up period, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two study groups in respect to the primary endpoint MACE (8.1% versus 7.4%, p=0.71). Concerning secondary endpoints, repeat revascularization (3.6% versus 2.9%, p=0.58), cardiac death (2.9% versus 3.2%, p=0.84), MI (1.6% versus 1.3%, p=0.76) and PRO (16.9% versus 17.7%, p=0.76) did not significantly differ between the two groups. Recurrence of angina was more frequent in the EES-PCI group (14.9% versus 8.4%, p=0.005) even though higher Class of angina was found less common in EES patients than in CABG patients (p&lt;0.001). Patients treated with EES-PCI had lower rates of onset of arrhythmias compared to those treated with CABG (6.3% versus 11.9%, p=0.005). Finally, revascularization in other than target lesion was more frequent in the stent than in the surgery arm (6.3% versus 3.2%, p=0.04); as a consequence, higher rates of revascularization in any vessel was recorded in the PCI group than the CABG one (9.9% versus 5.8%, p=0.03). Conclusion PCI with EES seem to have similar long-term clinical outcomes compared with CABG in patients with isolated pLAD disease. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
