Abstract Objective We report the long-term outcome of surgical revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods The institutional trial on Coronary Artery Disease and Surgical Therapy: Long-term Follow-up, is a 30-year follow-up study of 2728 patients with coronary artery disease who underwent surgical revascularization from April 1986 to December 1988. One-vessel coronary artery disease was found in 234 patients while 2 and 3-vessel diseases were found in 1021 and 1463 patients, respectively. Survival was analyzed according to age, gender, ejection fraction, and number of arterial and vein grafts (2165 males, mean age at coronary revascularization 59.4±8.8 years). Results Mean duration of follow-up was 30.6±1.2 years. Overall survival at this time point was 24.1%. Age–stratified survival was observed higher (40%) in those patients <50 years of age at that time of surgery compared to the other age groups, i.e. 50–59: 20%, 60–69: 10% and >70: 5% (p<0.001). Women had increased early mortality, hence have poorer survival (12%) than men (18%). However, when age (women=median 64.7, men=58.4, years) was considered between gender, no significant difference (p=0.13) in survival was observed. Interestingly, survival rate of patients with ejection fraction of <30% (n=826) was 6% which obviously fared well compared with 18% of those with ejection fraction of >30% (n=1902) at the time of coronary surgery. There was no significant difference between the use of a single internal mammary artery (IMA) [left or right] graft and use of 2 arterial grafts (combined left and right IMA or IMA and radial artery) on long-term survival (p=0.014). However, the use of an arterial graft combined with vein grafts are favorable (p<0.001). Conclusion The findings in this study showed that after a relatively long-term follow-up, age-based survival was similar compared to the general population. Female gender demonstrated poorer survival than men. However, when this is adjusted for age, no significant difference was shown. Interestingly, several patients with severely reduced ejection fraction, considered inoperable by many cardiac surgeons and cardiologists at the time of revascularization have survived for >30 years. Use of one internal mammary artery graft demonstrated better survival than use of only vein grafts. Noteworthy is that the sole use of vein grafts may also lead to an acceptable long-term survival.

The Impact

The most relevant comorbidities in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). However, data of long-term follow-up of patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) are scarce. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of CAD and DM on long-term follow-up patients after superficial femoral artery (SFA) CTO retrograde recanalization. In this study, eighty-six patients with PAD with diagnosed CTO in the femoropopliteal region and at least one unsuccessful attempt of antegrade recanalization were enrolled in 2 clinical centers. Mean time of follow-up in all patients was 47.5 months (±40 months). Patients were divided into two groups depending on the presence of CAD (CAD group: n=45 vs. non-CAD group: n=41) and DM (DM group: n=50 vs. non-DM group: n=36). In long-term follow-up, major adverse peripheral events (MAPE) occurred in 66.6% of patients with CAD vs. 36.5% of patients without CAD and in 50% of patients with DM vs. 55% of non-DM subjects. There were no statistical differences in peripheral endpoints in both groups. However, there was a statistically significant difference in all-cause mortality: in the DM group, there were 6 deaths (12%) (P value = 0.038). To conclude, patients after retrograde recanalization, with coexisting CTO and DM, are at higher risk of death in long-term follow-up.

Abstract Background Anemia is a frequent comorbidity in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Besides a complemental effect on myocardial oxygen undersupply of CAD and anemia, available data suggests that it may independently impact the prognosis in CAD patients. We aimed to determine the association of anemia with long-term survival in a longitudinal registry of patients undergoing conventional coronary angiography. Methods The present analysis is based on the ECAD registry of patients undergoing conventional coronary angiography at the Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine at the University Clinic Essen between 2004 and 2019. For this analysis, we excluded all patients with missing hemoglobin levels at baseline admission or missing follow-up information. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin level of &lt;13.0g/dl for male and &lt;12.0g/dl for female patients according to the world health organization's definition. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association of anemia with morality, stratifying by clinical presentation of patients. Hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval are depicted for presence vs. absence of anemia. Results Overall, data from 28,917 patient admissions (mean age: 65.3±13.2 years, 69% male) were included in our analysis (22,570 patients without and 6,347 patients with anemia). Prevalence of anemia increased by age group (age &lt;50 years: 16.0%, age ≥80 years: 27.7%). During a mean follow-up of 3.2±3.4 years, 4,792 deaths of any cause occurred (16.6%). In patients with anemia, mortality was relevantly higher as compared to patients without anemia (13.4% vs. 28.0% for patients without and with anemia, respectively, p&lt;0.0001, figure 1). In univariate regression analysis, anemia was associated with 2.4-fold increased mortality risk (2.27–2.55, p&lt;0.0001). Effect sizes remained stable upon adjustment for traditional risk factors (2.38 [2.18–2.61], p&lt;0.0001). Mortality risk accountable to anemia was significantly higher for patients receiving coronary interventions (2.62 [2.35–2.92], p&lt;0.0001) as compared to purely diagnostic coronary angiography examinations (2.31 [2.15–2.47], p&lt;0.0001). Likewise, survival probability was slightly worse for patients with anemia in acute coronary syndrome (2.70 [2.29–3.12], p&lt;0.0001) compared to chronic coronary syndrome (2.60 [2.17–3.12], p&lt;0.0001). Interestingly, within the ACS entity, association of anemia with mortality was relevantly lower in STEMI patients (1.64 [1.10–2.44], p=0.014) as compared to NSTEMI and IAP (NSTEMI: 2.68 [2.09–3.44], p&lt;0.0001; IAP: 2.67 [2.06–3.47], p&lt;0.0001). Conclusion In this large registry of patients undergoing conventional coronary angiography, anemia was a frequent comorbidity. Anemia relevantly influences log-term survival, especially in patients receiving percutaneous coronary interventions. Our results confirm the important role of anemia for prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease, demonstrating the need for specific treatment options. Figure 1.

Background Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have known to a high risk of cardiac mortality. However, the effectiveness of the routine evaluation of coronary arteries such as routine coronary angiography (CAG) in PAD patients receiving percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is unclear. Methods A total of 765 consecutive PAD patients underwent successful PTA and 674 patients (88.1%) underwent routine CAG. Coronary artery disease (CAD) was defined as angiographic stenosis ≥70%. Patients were divided into three groups; 1) routine CAG and a presence of CAD (n = 413 patients), 2) routine CAG and no CAD group (n = 261 patients), and 3) no CAG group (n = 91 patients). To adjust for any potential confounders that could cause bias, multivariable Cox-proportional hazards regression and propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curved analysis at 5-year follow-up. Results In this study, the 5-year survival rate of patients with PAD who underwent PTA was 88.5%. Survival rates were similar among the CAD group, the no CAD group, and the no CAG group, respectively (87.7% vs. 90.4% vs. 86.8% P = 0.241). After PSM analysis between the CAD group and the no CAD group, during the 5-year clinical follow-up, there were no differences in the incidence of death, myocardial infarction, strokes, peripheral revascularization, or target extremity surgeries between the two groups except for repeat PCI, which was higher in the CAD group than the non-CAD group (9.3% vs. 0.8%, P<0.001). Conclusion PAD patients with CAD were expected to have very poor long-term survival, but they are shown no different long-term prognosis such as mortality compared to PAD patients without CAD. These PAD patients with CAD had received PCI and/or optimal medication treatment after the CAG. Therefore a strategy of routine CAG and subsequent PCI, if required, appears to be a reasonable strategy for mortality risk reduction of PAD patients. Our results highlight the importance for evaluation for CAD in patients with PAD.

The data with respect to stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) are mainly confined to main vessel disease. However, there is a lack of information and long-term outcomes regarding isolated side branch disease. This study aimed to evaluate long-term major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in patients with isolated side branch coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 437 patients with isolated side branch SCAD were included. After a median follow-up of 38 months, the overall MACCE and all-cause mortality rates were 14.6% and 5.9%, respectively. Among angiographic features, 68.2% of patients had diagonal artery and 82.2% had ostial lesions. In 28.8% of patients, the vessel diameter was ≥2.75 mm. According to the American College of Cardiology lesion classification, 84.2% of patients had either class B or C lesions. Age, ostial lesions, glycated hemoglobin A1c, and neutrophil levels were independent predictors of MACCE. On the other hand, side branch location, vessel diameter, and lesion complexity did not affect outcomes. Clinical risk factors seem to have a greater impact on MACCE rather than lesion morphology. Therefore, the treatment of clinical risk factors is of paramount importance in these patients.

Introduction: The atherogenicity of residual cholesterol (RC) has been underlined by recent guidelines, which was linked to coronary artery disease (CAD), especially for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Hypothesis: This study aimed to examine the prognostic value of plasma RC, clinically presented as triglyceride-rich lipoprotein-cholesterol (TRL-C) or remnant-like lipoprotein particles-cholesterol (RLP-C), in CAD patients with different glucose metabolism status. Methods: Fasting plasma TRL-C and RLP-C levels were directly calculated or measured in 4331 patients with CAD. Patients were followed for incident MACEs for up to 8.6 years and categorized according to both glucose metabolism status [DM, pre-DM, normal glycaemia regulation (NGR)] and RC levels. Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: During a mean follow-up of 5.1 years, 541 (12.5%) MACEs occurred. The risk for MACEs was significantly higher in patients with elevated RC levels after adjustment for potential confounders. No significant difference in MACEs was observed between pre-DM and NGR groups (p>0.05). When stratified by status of glucose metabolism and RC levels, highest levels of RLP-C, calculated and measured TRL-C were significant and independent predictors of developing MACEs in pre-DM (HR: 2.10, 1.98, 1.92, respectively; all p<0.05) and DM (HR: 2.25, 2.00, 2.16, respectively; all p<0.05). Conclusions: In this large cohort study with long-term follow-up, data firstly demonstrated that higher RC levels were significantly associated with the worse prognosis in DM and pre-DM patients with CAD, suggesting RC might be a target for patients with impaired glucose metabolism.
