Introduction: An early invasive strategy has become the standard of care for pts at high-risk of NSTE-ACS in the latest guidelines, however the optimal timing of coronary intervention in this pts is still a matter of debate. Hypothesis: To compare the prognosis between pts at high-risk of NSTE-ACS submitted an early (<24h) versus a delayed invasive strategy (24-72h). Methods: A retrospective multicenter observational study including 6722 pts at high-risk NSTE-ACS (established diagnosis of NSTE-ACS based on cardiac troponins OR dynamic ST/T-changes OR GRACE score>140). Low, intermediate and very high-risk of NSTE-ACS pts were excluded, such as pts with an invasive strategy >72h. Pts were divided into two groups: group 1 - pts at high-risk of NSTE-ACS submitted an early invasive strategy (<24h) (n=3351,49.9%); group 2 - pts at high-risk of NSTE-ACS submitted a delayed invasive strategy (24-72h) (n=3371,50.1%). Primary endpoint was the occurrence of death at 1 year. Results: The sample was formed by 74.5% men and 25.5% women, with mean age of 65±12 years. Group 2 pts had a higher prevalence of hypertension (69.4% vs 73.0%,p=0.001), dyslipidaemia (63.1% vs 66.7%,p=0.002), CKD (3.2% vs 4.9%,p<0.001), previous MI (19.9% vs 24.3%, p<0.001) and HF (2.4% vs 3.4%, p=0.012). On admission, group 1 pts had more chest pain (96.9% vs 95.7%, p=0.010) compared to group 2 pts that had more dyspnea (1.1% vs 1.9%,p=0.007) and presented more to a non-PCI center (36.0% vs 46.3%,p<0.001). During hospitalization, group 2 had more often HF (3.3% vs 4.5%,p=0.013) and LVEF≤40% (5.9% vs 7.6%,p=0.042). Group 1 pts were more likely to have coronary revascularization (78.9% vs 74.6%,p<0.001), with the culprit artery being less identified in group 2 (20.8% vs 25.2%,p<0.001). In multivariate analysis and after adjusting for different baseline characteristics, pts at high-risk of NSTE-ACS submitted an early strategy had the same risk of 1-year mortality compared to those submitted a delayed invasive strategy [OR0.76,p=0.280]. Conclusion: In Portugal, only half of patients at high risk of NSTE-ACS undergo an early invasive strategy. However the early invasive coronary evaluation did not improve overall long-term clinical outcome compared with delayed invasive strategy.

Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in which cysts of various sizes invade the renal parenchyma. Intracranial aneurysms occur in 8-12% of ADPKD patients, which is approximately 3-4 times the rate of the healthy population. However, research on factors related to aneurysm incidence and rupture in patients with ADPKD is insufficient. Objective: We analyzed the factors associated with risk of aneurysm incidence and phenotype in ADPKD patients. Methods: From the ADPKD registry in the tertiary hospital, we screened patients with cerebral angiography enrolled between January 2007 and May 2017. Then, 926 enrolled patients were classified into three groups according to the intracranial aneurysm incidence and phenotype (multiplicity, size, location): no intracranial aneurysm (Group 1); low-risk intracranial aneurysm (Group 2); high-risk intracranial aneurysm (Group 3). We analyzed the difference of patients’ demographic factors, cardiovascular risk factors, laboratory data, echocardiographic data, and imaging data between groups. Results: The prevalence [C1] of intracranial aneurysm in ADPKD patients was 16.0%. Aneury[C2] sm-positive group (Group 2 and 3, n=148) was significantly older (p<0.001) and had a greater proportion of females (p<0.001) than patients in the aneurysm-negative group (Group 1, n=778). Compared to Group 1, Group 3 was significantly associated with age (odds ratio (OR) 1.027, p=0.007), female sex (OR 3.184, p<0.001), dyslipidemia (OR 0.460, P=0.001), basilar artery dolichoectasia (OR 8.443, p=0.016), and mitral inflow deceleration time (OR 1.005, p=0.039). Conclusion: Factors associated with a high-risk aneurysms were age, sex, dolichoectasia, dyslipidemia, and mitral inflow deceleration time in ADPKD patients. Identification of these factors would help detect high risk aneurysms and manage the aneurysms in ADPKD patients.

Background Full secondary prevention medication regimen is often under-prescribed after acute myocardial infarction. Design The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between prescription of appropriate secondary prevention treatment at discharge and long-term clinical outcomes according to risk level defined by the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Risk Score for Secondary Prevention (TRS-2P) after acute myocardial infarction. Methods We used data from the 2010 French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation or non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI) registry, including 4169 consecutive acute myocardial infarction patients admitted to cardiac intensive care units in France. Level of risk was stratified in three groups using the TRS-2P score: group 1 (low-risk; TRS-2P=0/1); group 2 (intermediate-risk; TRS-2P=2); and group 3 (high-risk; TRS-2P≥3). Appropriate secondary prevention treatment was defined according to the latest guidelines (dual antiplatelet therapy and moderate/high dose statins for all; new-P2Y12 inhibitors, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin-receptor-blockers and beta-blockers as indicated). Results Prevalence of groups 1, 2 and 3 was 46%, 25% and 29% respectively. Appropriate secondary prevention treatment at discharge was used in 39.5%, 37% and 28% of each group, respectively. After multivariate adjustment, evidence-based treatments at discharge were associated with lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (death, re-myocardial infarction or stroke) at five years especially in high-risk patients: hazard ratio = 0.82 (95% confidence interval: 0.59–1.12, p = 0.21) in group 1, 0.74 (0.54–1.01; p = 0.06) in group 2, and 0.64 (0.52–0.79, p < 0.001) in group 3. Conclusions Use of appropriate secondary prevention treatment at discharge was inversely correlated with patient risk. The increased hazard related to lack of prescription of recommended medications was much larger in high-risk patients. Specific efforts should be directed at better prescription of recommended treatment, particularly in high-risk patients.

Background: One of the major morbidity after abdominal surgery is incisional hernia. In high risk patients its incidence reaches 11-20% despite various optimal closure techniques for midline laparotomy. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy of onlay mesh placement in reducing the incidence of incisional hernia in those high risk patients.Methods: A total of 65 high risk patients suspected to develop post-operative incisional hernia underwent midline abdominal laparotomies. Patients were divided into two groups; group1 (30 patients) for whom the incision was closed by conventional method and group2 (35 patients) for whom the incision was closed with reinforcement by onlay polypropylene mesh. The primary end point was the occurrence of incisional hernia while the secondary end point was post-operative complications including subcutaneous seroma, chronic wound pain, and surgical site infection (SSI). Patients were followed up for two years.Results: The base line characteristics of the two groups were similar. The incidence of incisional hernia is significantly reduced 1/35 (2.8%) in group 2 while it was 6/30 (20%) in group 1. As regard seroma and chronic wound pain they increased in (group2) 6/35 (17.14%) and 5/35(14.28%) respectively compared to (group 1) which was 4/30 (13.33%) and 2/30 (6.66%). SSI occurred in 1/35 (2.85%) in group 2 and in 1/30 (3.33%) in group 1.Conclusions: Prophylactic onlay mesh reinforcement of the midline laparotomy for high risk patients can be used safely and markedly reduces the incidence of incisional hernia with little morbidity.

Objectives: The relative benefits of strategic leukofiltration on polymer-coated and low-dose heparin protocol on heparin-coated circuits were studied across EuroSCORE patient risk strata for three different cohorts. Methods: In a prospective, randomized study, 270 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were allocated into three groups (n = 90): Group 1 -polymethoxyethylacrylate-coated circuits+leukocyte filters; Group 2 -polypeptide-based heparin-bonded circuits with reduced heparinization; and Group 3 -Control: uncoated circuits. Each group was further divided into three subgroups (n = 30), with respect to low- (EuroSCORE 0-2), medium- (3-5), and high- (6+) risk patients. Blood samples were collected at T1: following induction of anesthesia; T2: following heparin administration; T3: 15 min after CPB; T4: before cessation of CPB; T5: 15 min after protamine reversal; and T6: ICU. Results: In high-risk cohorts, leukocyte counts demonstrated significant differences at T4 and T5 in Group 1, and at T4 in Group 2. Platelet counts were preserved significantly better at T4 and T5 in both groups (p <0.05 versus control). Serum IL-2 and C3a levels were significantly lower at T3, T4 and T5 in Group 1, and T4 and T5 in Group 2 (p <0.05). Postoperative bleeding, respiratory support time and incidence of atrial fibrillation were lower in the study groups versus control. Cell counts on filter mesh and heparin-coated fibers/circuits were significantly higher in the high-risk cohorts versus uncoated fibers. Phagocytic capacity increased on filter mesh, especially in high-risk specimens. SEM evaluation demonstrated better preserved coated circuits. Conclusion: Leukofiltration and coating reduced platelet adhesion, protein adsorption, atrial fibrillation and reduced heparinization acted via modulation of systemic inflammatory response in high-risk groups.
