Betatrophin (ANGPTL8), also known as “Lipasin” (lipoprotein lipase inhibitor), has been reported as a dual-regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism. Functional variant R59W in betatrophin gene is common in Japanese (minor allele 25%) compared with Caucasian (5%). Little is known about long-term impact of this gene variant, and also about the effect of lipid-lowering drugs on this hormone. Methods: A total of 205 cases with dyslipidemia evaluated with baseline 75gOGTT, and post-heparin lipoprotein lipase activities were registered as a long-term cohort. As lipid-lowering trial, a total of 44 patients (Male 21, Age 65±11 ys) with primary dyslipidemia, and 18 genetically confirmed heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Male 12, Age 65±10 ys,) were analyzed. Non-FH dyslipidemia was treated with 10mg Atorvastatin, and FH was treated with 20mg Rosuvastatin for 8 weeks. Plasma TG and betatrophin levels were log-transformed for statistical analysis. Results: In long-term cohort, 57 cases already showed diabetic pattern at baseline, 148 cases (Male 82, age 56±15 ys, hetero-FH 48 cases, mean follow-up period 10±3 ys) without diabetes at baseline were finally analyzed. Sixty-two cases (42%) developed newly diabetes mellitus during the follow-up, significantly fewer in FH than non-FH (25% vs. 50%, p <0.005). No differences in BMI, fasting glucose, HbA1c in baseline with R59W genotype. In low LPL activity group (n=31), W carriers showed significant increase in HbA1c compared with RR (2.1±0.5 vs. 0.9±0.4 %, p <0.05), but no differences in normal LPL group. In lipid lowering trial, baseline betatrophin levels were lower in FH group (19±13 vs. 13±6 ng/mL, p <0.05), but no difference with/without R59W variant. Statin treatment slightly decreased betatrophin in dyslipidemia group (-4%, p <0.01) and in FH group (-5%, p <0.01). Changes in betatrophin were positively correlated with changes in LDL-C with statins in both groups. Conclusion: Betatrophin R59W variant was a susceptibility factor of future diabetes mellitus with low LPL activity. Baseline betatrophin levels were lower in FH group than other primary dyslipidemia in lipid-lowering trial. Strong statin treatments slightly decreased betatrophin levels, but effect sizes were minimal.

Background: To evaluate safety, short and long-term graft patency, clinical success rates, and factors associated with patency, limb salvage and mortality after surgical reconstruction in patients younger than 50 years of age who had undergone unilateral iliac artery bypass surgery. Patients and methods: From January 2000 to January 2010, 65 consecutive reconstructive vascular operations were performed in 22 women and 43 men of age < 50 years with unilateral iliac atherosclerotic lesions and claudication or chronic limb ischemia. All patients were followed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery and every 6 months thereafter. Results: There was in-hospital vascular graft thrombosis in four (6.1 %) patients. No in-hospital deaths occurred. Median follow-up was 49.6 ± 33 months. Primary patency rates at 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year were 92.2 %, 85.6 %, 73.6 %, and 56.5 %, respectively. Seven patients passed away during follow-up of which four patients due to coronary artery disease, two patients due to cerebrovascular disease and one patient due to malignancy. Limb salvage rate after 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year follow-up was 100 %, 100 %, 96.3 %, and 91.2 %, respectively. Cox regression analysis including age, sex, risk factors for vascular disease, indication for treatment, preoperative ABI, lesion length, graft diameter and type of pre-procedural lesion (stenosis/occlusion), showed that only age (beta - 0.281, expected beta 0.755, p = 0.007) and presence of diabetes mellitus during index surgery (beta - 1.292, expected beta 0.275, p = 0.026) were found to be significant predictors of diminishing graft patency during the follow-up. Presence of diabetes mellitus during index surgery (beta - 1.246, expected beta 0.291, p = 0.034) was the only variable predicting mortality. Conclusions: Surgical treatment for unilateral iliac lesions in patients with premature atherosclerosis is a safe procedure with a low operative risk and acceptable long-term results. Diabetes mellitus and age at index surgery are predictive for low graft patency. Presence of diabetes is associated with decreased 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.

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

Summary Severe hypertriglyceridemia is an endocrine emergency and is associated with acute pancreatitis and hyperviscosity syndrome. We describe an infant with lipoprotein lipase deficiency with severe hypertriglyceridemia who presented with acute pancreatitis. She was managed acutely with fasting and intravenous insulin infusion, followed by low-fat diet with no pharmacological agent. Subsequent follow-up until the age of 5 years showed satisfactory lipid profile and she has normal growth and development. Learning points: Hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis has significant morbidity and mortality, and prompt treatment is imperative. When no secondary causes are readily identified, genetic evaluation should be pursued in hypertriglyceridemia in children. Intravenous insulin is a safe and effective acute treatment for hypertriglyceridemia in children, even in infants. Long-term management with dietary modifications alone could be effective for primary hypertriglyceridemia due to lipoprotein lipase deficiency, at least in early childhood phase.

Background-Whether Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) confers a survival benefit in patients with diabetes mellitus(DM) and complex coronary artery disease (CAD), including left main CAD and multivessel coronary disease (MVD) after a follow up period ≥ 5 years remains unknown. Methods- Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane) were searched from inception to December 12th 2020. Using a generic invariance weighted random effects model, Hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from individual studies were converted to Log HRs and corresponding standard errors, which were then pooled. The primary outcome of interest was all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) which was defined as a composite of death, myocardial reinfarction and stroke at ≥ 5 years. Results-A total of 8 studies with 13336 participants(PCI = 6783, CABG = 6553)were included in our analysis. Mean age was 54.6 and 55.3 in the PCI-DES and CABG groups respectively. The 5-yr follow-up outcomes including all-cause mortality (HR 1.37; 95%CI 1.15-1.65; p = 0.0006, I2 = 0)and MACCE (HR 1.48; 95%CI 1.29-1.69; p &lt; 0.00001, I2 = 0) were significantly higher with PCI as compared to CABG. Furthermore, at &gt;5 year follow-up, all-cause mortality (HR 1.35; 95%CI 1.10-1.66; p = 0.004, I2 = 37) and MACCE (HR 1.98; 95%CI 1.85-2.12; p &lt; 0.00001, I2 = 0) had similar outcomes. Conclusion-Amongst patients with DM and Complex CAD ( left main/MVD), CABG was associated with improved long-term mortality and freedom from MACCEs as opposed to PCI-DES. CABG is the preferred revascularization strategy in patients with complex anatomic disease and concurrent diabetes. Abstract Figure.
