Background: The residual SYNTAX score (RSS) can be used to measure the residual stenosis severity and complexity. The prognostic role of RSS in CCS patients is still unknown. We purposed to investigate the impact of RSS on the clinical outcomes following PCI in CCS patients. Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed. Based on the residual SYNTAX score, patients were divided into three groups: RSS 0, RSS 0 to 9.5, and RSS >9.5. The primary outcome was patient-oriented composite endpoint (POCE), including repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality. Results: After 1-year follow-up period, patients in RSS >9.5 group revealed the greater POCE (4.3% vs. 6.4% vs. 23.9%; p = 0.016) than others. The repeat revascularization rate also was greater in the RSS >9.5 group (0.0% vs. 6.4% vs. 19.6%; p = 0.012). However, the hospitalization due to angina rates in all groups was not significantly different (4.3% vs. 4.2% vs. 4.3%; p = 1.000). The multivariate analysis revealed that RSS >9.5 was the strong predictor for repeat revascularization during 1 year follow-up (Odds ratio [OR] = 9.605; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.207 - 76.458; p = 0.033). Conclusion: The greater RSS was associated with the higher 1-year POCE and repeat revascularization rate in CCS patients. The high RSS was also the strong predictor for 1-year repeat revascularization for CCS patients.

BackgroundIn patients with stable angina (SA), the clinical benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reside almost exclusively within the realm of symptomatic improvement rather than improvement in hard clinical endpoints. The benefits of PCI should always be balanced against its potential short-term and long-term risks. Common among these risks is the presence of anaemia and its interaction with poor clinical outcomes and increased morbidity; this study aims to elucidate the impact of anaemia on long-term clinical outcomes of this patient group.MethodsFrom Danish national registries, we identified patients with SA treated with PCI who had a haemoglobin measurement maximum of 90 days prior to PCI procedure. Anaemia was defined as haemoglobin <130 and <120 g/L in men and women, respectively. Follow-up was up to 3 years after PCI, and Cox regression was used to estimate HRs with 95% CIs of hospitalisation due to bleeding, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and all-cause mortality in patients with anaemia compared with patients without anaemia.ResultsOf 2837 included patients, 14.6% had anaemia prior to PCI. During follow-up, 93 patients (3.3%) had a bleeding episode, which was higher in patients with anaemia (5.8%) compared with patients without anaemia (2.8%). A total of 213 patients (7.5%) developed ACS, which was higher in patients with anaemia (10.6%) compared with patients without anaemia (7.0%). Furthermore, 185 patients (6.5%) died, with a mortality rate of 18.1% in patients with anaemia compared with 4.5% in patients without anaemia. In multivariable analyses, anaemia was associated with a significantly increased risk of bleeding (HR 1.69; 95% CI 1.04 to 2.73; P 0.033), ACS (HR 1.47; 95% CI 1.04 to 2.10; P 0.031) and all-cause mortality (HR 2.41; 95% CI 1.73 to 3.30; P <0.001).ConclusionAnaemia in patients with SA was significantly associated with bleeding, ACS and all-cause mortality following PCI.

Recent clinical trials showed that short aspirin duration (1 or 3 months) in dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy reduced the risk of bleeding and did not increase the ischemic risk compared to 12-month DAPT in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, it is unclear about the optimal duration of aspirin in P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of aspirin treatment duration on clinical outcomes in a cohort of ACS patients with early aspirin interruption and received P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy. From January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018, we included 498 ACS patients (age 70.18 ± 12.84 years, 71.3% men) with aspirin stopped for various reasons before 6 months after PCI and received P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy. The clinical outcomes between those with aspirin treatment ≤ 1 month and > 1 month were compared in 12-month follow up after PCI. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to balance the covariates between groups. The mean duration of aspirin treatment was 7.52 ± 8.10 days vs. 98.05 ± 56.70 days in the 2 groups (p<0.001). The primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, recurrent ACS or unplanned revascularization and stroke occurred in 12.6% and 14.4% in the 2 groups (adjusted HR 1.19, 95% CI 0.85–1.68). The safety outcome of BARC 3 or 5 bleeding was also similar (adjusted HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.34–1.40) between the 2 groups. In conclusion, patients with ≤ 1 month aspirin treatment had similar clinical outcomes to those with treatment > 1 month. Our results indicated that ≤ 1-month aspirin may be enough in P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy strategy for ACS patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract Background NHS was created in 1948 to redress the healthcare inequality through provision of universal healthcare service in the UK. However even of late, significant health inequality persists. Socioeconomic deprivation is known to result in increased overall morbidity and mortality. Aim To assess the impact of socioeconomic deprivation (as categorised by Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, SIMD) on the medical management and clinical outcomes of patients with ACS (NSTEMI/STEMI) who were treated with PCI Methods A retrospective study of NSTEMI/NSTEMI patients after inpatient treatment with coronary angiogram and PCI. The parameters include basic demographics, risk factors, LV EF on echocardiogram, lipid profile and discharge medication. Individual's socioeconomic deprivation index, as described SIMD was also recorded (1 – most deprived and 10 – least deprived), and accordingly placed into quintile (SIMD 1–2, 3–4, 5–6,7 –8, 9–10). Follow-up for 24 months. Clinical outcome assessed was composite endpoint event of MACE. Results 357 from the lowest quintile (SIMD 1–2), 319 from SIMD 3–4, 191 from SIMD 5–6, 120 from SIMD 7–8, and 99 from the highest quintile (SIMD 9–10) were included. No statistical difference exists between age or gender. No difference in past medical history (inclusive of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, family history. No difference in incidence of nicotine use. Prescription of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel, ticagrelor or prasugrel) as well as secondary prevention medications (such as ace inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker, beta blocker, statin and GTN) were good and not statistically different between all groups. No statistical difference exists between all groups relating to pre-discharge LV ejection fraction on echocardiogram or random cholesterol level check on admission. 24 months follow-up demonstrated composite endpoint of MACE was statistically higher among patients of lowest socioeconomic quintile (Kaplan Meier plot, p<0.001). Step-wise multiple regression analysis also confirmed multiple socioeconomic deprivation as an independent predictor for more adverse clinical outcomes (p<0.001, R2=14.5%). Patients from the least deprived quintile possess survival advantage almost 14-folds as compared to those of most deprived group (Odd-ratio 13.8 (95% CI: 39.4–48.5)). Summary After an ACS event, despite initial coronary intervention and subsequent optimal prescription of prognostically beneficial secondary prevention medications, patients from the lower socioeconomic group (as described by SIMD) are still more likely to experience readmission for cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke. Socioeconomic deprivation has been shown to be an independent predictor of adverse clinical outcome for those who survived initial ACS. Acknowledgement/Funding None

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of SYNTAX scores I, II, and residual with cardiovascular outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compare both procedures in a long-term follow-up. Methods This is a retrospective single-center study from the MASS registry at the Heart Institute of the University of São Paulo, Brazil in which 969 patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing CABG (559) or PCI (410) were included. We assessed the SYNTAX scores I, II and residual in both interventions. Clinical endpoints were the first occurrence of a composite of overall death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or repeat revascularization (MACCE) and the total occurrence of each component of MACCE. Results In the CABG sample, SSI had a median of 23 (IQR 17–29.5), median SSII of 25.4 (IQR 19.2–32.8), and median rSS of 2 (IQR 0–6.5); in PCI SSI had a median of 14 (IQR 10–19.1), median SSII of 28.7 (IQR 23–34.2), and median rSS of 4.7 (IQR 0–9). Total of 174 events were documented and CABG patients had a lower rate of MACCE (15.6% vs. 21.2%; adjusted HR 1.98; 95% CI 1.13–3.47; P = 0.016) and repeat revascularization (3.8% vs. 11.5%; adjusted HR 4.35; CI 95% 1.74–10.85; P = 0.002) compared with PCI. No SYNTAX score tertile found a difference in death rate between procedures. In a multivariate analysis, the rSS was an independent predictor for MACCE (HR 1.04; 95% CI 1.01–1.06; P = 0.001). Regarding death, the only independent predictors were ejection fraction and renal function. Conclusion Surgical revascularization resulted in a more complete revascularization and lower rates of major cardiac or cerebrovascular events in a long-term follow-up. Also, grading the incompleteness of revascularization through the residual SYNTAX score identified a higher event rate, suggesting that complete revascularization is associated with a better prognosis.

Objectives. The study evaluated the correlation between baseline SYNTAX Score, Residual SYNTAX Score, and SYNTAX Revascularization Index and long-term outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on an unprotected left main coronary artery lesion (UPLMCA). Background. Previous studies on primary PCI in UPLMCA have identified cardiogenic shock, TIMI 0/1 flow, and cardiac arrest, as prognostic factors of an unfavourable outcome, but the complexity of coronary artery disease and the extent of revascularization have not been thoroughly investigated in these high-risk patients. Methods. 30-day, 1-year, and long-term outcomes were analyzed in a cohort of retrospectively selected, 81 consecutive patients with STEMI, and primary PCI on UPLMCA. Results. Cardiogenic shock (p=0.001), age (p=0.008), baseline SYNTAX Score II (p=0.006), and SYNTAX Revascularization Index (p=0.046) were independent mortality predictors at one-year follow-up. Besides cardiogenic shock (HR 3.28, p<0.001), TIMI 0/1 flow (HR 2.17, p=0.021) and age (HR 1.03, p=0.006), baseline SYNTAX Score II (HR 1.06, p=0.006), residual SYNTAX Score (HR 1.03, p=0.041), and SYNTAX Revascularization Index (HR 0.9, p=0.011) were independent predictors of mortality at three years of follow-up. In patients with TIMI 0/1 flow, the presence of Rentrop collaterals was an independent predictor for long-term survival (HR 0.24; p=0.049). Conclusions. In this study, the complexity of coronary artery disease and the extent of revascularization represent independent mortality predictors at long-term follow-up.

The impact of the de-escalation strategy of antiplatelet therapy (APT) on the life expectancy after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) requires an assessment in real clinical practice. Into the Russian multicentral observational trial (ORACLE II ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04068909), 1803 patients with ACS and PCI indications were enrolled. During 12 months of follow-up, 228 all-cause deaths have occurred. The analysis of death predictors was carried out by the classification tree method. Age, an option of antithrombotic therapy, a history of chronic heart failure, and uric acid level had the greatest prognostic value. The death prediction model’s sensitivity was 82.1% in the training cohort and 79.2% in the test cohort. During the observation period, ticagrelor was replaced with clopidogrel (APT de-escalation) in 357 patients. The groups of patients with different antiplatelet therapy options were adjusted for clinical parameters by the pseudorandomization method. The de-escalation group had the lowerest all-cause death rate. The incidence of bleeding and recurrent nonfatal coronary events in the study groups did not differ significantly. Thus, the APT regimen’s advantage of changing from the maximum in the first weeks after ACS to moderate at follow-up has been confirmed. There is an obvious need to study the possibilities of individualizing antiplatelet therapy in patients after acute coronary syndromes.
