Background/Aim. The RISK-PCI is a simple score for the prediction of 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality in patients treated with primary PCI (pPCI). The aim of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic performance of the RISK-PCI score in predicting MACE and mortality in the long-term follow-up of STEMI patients treated with pPCI. Method. The present study enrolled 2,096 STEMI patients treated with pPCI included in the RISK-PCI trial. Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock were excluded. The composite end-point MACE comprising cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal reinfarction and stroke. Patients were followed up at 6 years after enrollment. Results. One-year and 6-year MACE occurred in 229 (10.9%) and 285 (13.6%) patients, respectively; and 1-year and 6-year mortality occurred in 128 (6.2%) and 151 (7.2%) patients, respectively. The RISK-PCI score was an independent predictor for 1-year MACE (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1, 18–1.31, p<0.001), 6-year MACE (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.16–1.28, p<0.001), 1-year mortality (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.13–1.29, p<0.001), and 6-year mortality (HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.15–1.31, p<0.001). The discrimination of the RISK-PCI score to predict 1-year and 6-year MACE and mortality was good: for 1-year MACE c-statistic 0.78, for 6-year MACE c-statistic 0.75, for 1-year mortality c-statistic 0.87, and for 6-year mortality c-statistic 0.83. The nonsignificant Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit estimates for 1-year MACE (p=0.619), 6-year MACE (p=0.319), 1-year mortality (p=0.258), and 6-year mortality (p=0.540) indicated a good calibration of the model. Conclusion. The RISK-PCI score demonstrates good characteristics in the assessment of the risk for the occurrence of MACE and mortality during long-term follow-up after pPCI.

Despite advances in technology, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified coronary lesions remains challenging. Rotational atherectomy is one of the current therapeutic options to manage calcified lesions, but has a limited role in facilitating the dilation or stenting of lesions that cannot be crossed or expanded with other PCI techniques due to unfavourable clinical outcome in long-term follow-up. However the results of orbital atherectomy presented in the ORBIT I and ORBIT II trials were encouraging. In addition to these encouraging data, necessity for sufficient lesion preparation before implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds lead to resurgence in the use of atherectomy. This article summarises currently available publications on orbital atherectomy (Cardiovascular Systems Inc.) and compares them with rotational atherectomy.

Introduction: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) portends a poor prognosis during long-term follow-up and has been identified as an independent predictor of heart failure (HF) and reduced long-term survival. Despite the poor prognosis with chronic IMR, few studies report the impact of IMR on long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We studied 674 consecutive patients with AMI from 2000 to 2006 who underwent emergent coronary angiography and primary PCI, and who were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography during index hospitalization. Primary outcomes were cardiac death and the development of HF during follow-up. Results: The mean age of the study patients was 65±12 years and 534 patients (79%) were men. Sixty patients (9%) had moderate or severe MR before hospital discharge. Patients with moderate or severe MR were older, more frequently non-smoker, and more likely to have Killip class ≥2, lower ejection fraction, larger left ventricular end-diastolic volume, compared with patients with no or mild MR. During the mean follow-up period of 5.7±3.6 years, 35 cardiac deaths and 53 episodes of HF occurred. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with moderate or severe MR had significantly increased risk for cardiac death (P<0.001), and HF (P<0.001), compared with patients with no or mild MR. Multivariate analysis revealed that moderate or severe MR was the significant predictor of the development of cardiac death (P<0.001), and the development of HF (P=0.006), independently of age, gender, history of MI, Killip class ≥2, initial TIMI flow≤1, peak CPK level, ejection fraction. Conclusions: Moderate or severe IMR detected early after AMI was independently associated with adverse cardiac events during long-term follow-up in patients with AMI after primary PCI.

We sought to compare the effects of smoking on clinical outcomes in women and men with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We prospectively followed up 10 369 patients undergoing elective PCI. All patients were stratified according to smoking status and sex. The impacts of smoking on long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs, the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization) were assessed. Among 7773 men and 2596 women undergoing PCI, the prevalence of cigarette smoking was 66.7% (n = 5185) and 11.0% (n = 286; P < .001). During the 3 years of follow-up (median: 20.6 months), smoking increased MACE in both men and women (men 10.8% vs 8.1%, P < .001; women 23.2% vs 6.4%; P < .001). After adjusting for baseline characteristics, smoking had a greater effect on MACE in women (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.86-7.28; P < .001) compared with men (HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.03-1.77; P = .005, interaction P = .026). There was a lower prevalence of smoking in women compared to men among patients undergoing PCI. However, smoking confers a higher excess risk for MACE among women compared with men.
