Aim. To determine the most significant predictors of an unfavorable progress of osteoporosis (OP) in men with coronary artery disease after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) according to long-term (5 years) follow-up data.Methods. The prospective study included 393 patients (men) hospitalized for CABG. All patients underwent multispiral computed tomography of the coronary and carotid arteries to assess the calcium score (CS) and determine the equivalent density of calcium deposits (EDCD), coronary angiography, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. After 5 years (average 59 months) of follow-up, the prognosis (status alive/dead) was assessed in 335 patients. Mortality during follow-up in patients after CABG was 10.7% (36 patients died). 257 patients underwent repeated osteodensitometry, quantitative assessment of coronary and carotid calcification, assessment of the “end points” of bone status (osteoporotic fractures, osteoporosis).Results. During the five-year follow-up an increase in the prevalence of OP was noted from 76.1% to 90.7%, while in 43.6% of cases, the progression of OP was recorded. Fractures occurred in 39 patients (15.2%), and in 34 (13.2%) osteoporosis developed for the first time. OP progression is associated with smoking (OR 5.3, 95% CI 3.1–9.4), 30% or more carotid artery stenosis (OR 5.6, 95% CI 2.9–10.7), baseline severe (more than 400) calcification of the coronary arteries (OR 2.7 at 95% CI 1.3–9.8), low density of (EDCD less than 0.19 g/mm3 ) coronary (OR 1.7 at 95% CI 1.1–8.2) and carotid (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4–10.3) calcium deposits. Linear regression analysis made it possible to establish that the reliable predictors of an unfavorable course of OP are coronary CS, EDCD of the carotid arteries, and the absence of statin therapy.Conclusion. OP progression in patients in the long-term period (5 years) after CABG was noted in 43.6%. The predictors of OP progression and the complications are a high level of coronary artery calcification, a low EDCD in the carotid arteries, and 30% or more stenosis of the carotid arteries. Patients receiving statins were associated with a lower risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. 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 < 0.00001, I2 = 0) were significantly higher with PCI as compared to CABG. Furthermore, at >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 < 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.

Background: The relative role of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and complex coronary artery disease (CAD) remains debatable due to the lack of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We therefore performed this meta-analysis to compare the outcomes of the two strategies in CKD patients with multivessel and/or left main disease. Methods: Electronic databases including PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched to identify the eligible subgroup analysis of RCTs and propensity-matched registries. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality during the longest follow-up. Results: Five subgroup analyses of RCTs and six propensity-matched registries involving 26,441 patients were analyzed. Overall, the strategy of CABG was associated with lower risks of long-term mortality [odds ratio (OR) 0.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74–0.93], myocardial infarction (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.27–0.62), and repeat revascularization (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.16–0.39) compared with PCI in CKD patients with complex CAD. However, CABG was slightly associated with higher risk of stroke than PCI (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.00–1.77). Nonetheless, the higher stroke risk in the CABG group no longer existed during long-term follow-up (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.37–2.25) (>3 years). Conclusion: This meta-analysis supports the current guideline advising CABG for patients with CKD and complex CAD. At the expense of slightly increased risk of stroke, CABG reduces the incidences of long-term all-cause death, myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization compared with PCI.

Objective Robotic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was shown to be a safe and feasible method for the treatment of coronary artery disease in highly selected patients. However, long-term outcome data comparing robotic CABG with conventional CABG are still missing. Therefore, we aimed to compare robotic with conventional CABG in terms of perioperative and long-term outcomes. Methods Of 2947 consecutive elective patients with coronary artery disease operated at a single center between 2001 and 2013, 280 underwent robotic CABG. After propensity score matching, 134 pairs of robotic versus conventional CABG (age = 62 ± 10 years, log EuroScore = 2.4 ± 2.4% vs. mean ± SD age = 63 ± 10 years, log EuroScore 2.5 ± 1.7%, respectively; all P > 0.05) were formed. The mean ± SD follow-up was 6.6 ± 3.2 years. Results There was no difference in perioperative mortality (robotic = 0% vs. conventional = 1.5%, P = 0.154), myocardial infarction (robotic = 0% vs. conventional = 2.2%, P = 0.08), and stroke rate (robotic = 0% vs. conventional = 0.7%, P = 0.318) between the groups. Longer cardiopulmonary bypass (robotic = 112 ± 100 minutes vs. conventional = 67 ± 48 minutes, P < 0.0001) and cross-clamp times (robotic = 68 ± 54 minutes vs. conventional = 38 ± 27 minutes, P <0.0001) were observed in robotic patients. Long-term follow-up yielded equivalent results in terms of survival (1, 5, and 10 years: robotic = 99.3%, 96.9%, and 81.3% vs. conventional = 96.3%, 92.2%, and 82.6%, respectively; log-rank P = 0.187) and freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebral events at 1, 5, and 10 years after procedure (robotic = 90.6%, 77.7%, 70.1% vs. conventional = 94.1%, 82.2%, 66.6%; log-rank P = 0.790). Conclusions Long-term outcomes of robotic CABG are comparable with conventional CABG for selected patients. Longer operative times of robotic CABG do not influence the excellent long-term outcomes.

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.

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 and Aim of the Study: Ischemic mitral valve regurgitation (IMR) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with worse long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of mitral valve repair with CABG in patients with moderate IMR. Method: This observational study enrolled 3,215 consecutive patients from the Juntendo CABG registry with moderate IMR and multivessel coronary artery disease who underwent CABG between 2002 and 2017. The CABG alone and CABG with mitral valve surgery (MVs) groups were compared. The propensity score was calculated for each patient. Long-term all-cause death, cardiac death, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 101 patients who underwent CABG had moderate IMR in our database. Propensity score matching selected 40 pairs for final analysis. MVs was associated with increased risks of postoperative atrial fibrillation, blood transfusion, and longer hospitalization. There were no differences between the two groups in long-term outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and the incidence of MACCEs. Conclusions: Surgical treatment of moderate IMR combined with CABG was as safe as CABG alone, with no differences in long-term outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine the effects of MVs in patients with moderate IMR and severe coronary artery disease.

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.

Abstract Coronary artery calcium score (CAC) measures the calcium contained in the artery wall and it is evaluated using multi-slice cardiac CT and CAC represents a useful tool for appreciating the burden of coronary atherosclerosis and for determining the risk for cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study is that CAC can be use for guiding treatment strategy in patients classified as high risk based on Framingham score . We prospectively enrolled 64 pts (79% male), 62,7+/-5 year, between 2002-2017. All included patients were considered high risk based on EuroSCORE model. A multislice heart CT scan was performed for every patient with CAC score determination quantified with the Agatston score and expressed as Agatston Units (AU). The patients were divided in 3 groups according to the treatment that they received during the 5 years follow up: optimal medical treatment for coronary artery disease (OMT) – 35.9% (23), percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCA) – 29.7% (19) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) – 34.4%. The CAC score for pts treated by OMT vs CABG +/_ PCA were compared using the ROC curves. CAC score was statistically significantly superior in CABG+ PCA patients versus OMT (AUC: 0.96, p &lt; 0.001 vs AUC 0.42, p = 0.212). Also, a comparison of CAC score score for CABG vs OMT revealed the same results (AUC: 0.96, p&lt; 0.001 vs AUC: 0.42, p = 0.264). OMT vs CABG + PCA presented a cut-off value of 382 AU with a specificity of 90% and a sensitivity of 95%. OMT vs CABG presented a cut-off value of 530 AU with a specificity of 89% and a sensitivity of 95%. In conclusion, CAC score has a good predictability and sensitivity in determining the outcome and can be a promising tool to guide therapy in high risk patients, mainly regarding medical vs surgical treatment for coronary artery disease.
