Objectives: The study's primary objective will be to evaluate the safety and describe the initial experience of implementing early discharge (on the same day) of coronary patients from the Unified Health System undergoing elective, uncomplicated, transradial percutaneous coronary intervention. The secondary objective will be to assess the impact on the direct cost per patient compared to previously known data from the classic hospital stay used (hospital overnight). Methods: Observational and prospective study of patients undergoing elective uncomplicated transradial percutaneous coronary intervention with early discharge, respecting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Follow-up of patients will be carried out to prove the safety of the new strategy in the population of the Unified Health System and to compare the direct costs between overnight stays and discharge on the same day. This will be the first study dedicated to primarily evaluating the safety of early discharge after elective uncomplicated transradial coronary angioplasty, validating this protocol in the population of the Brazilian public health system.

Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes is frequently a diffuse process with multivessel involvement and is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and death. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease who require revascularisation has been debated and remains uncertain. The debate has been continued mainly because of the question to what degree an increased risk for in-stent restenosis among patients with diabetes contributes to other late adverse outcomes. This article reviews outcomes from early trials of balloon angioplasty versus CABG through later trials of bare-metal stents versus CABG and more recent data with drug-eluting stents as the comparator. Although not all studies have been powered to show statistical significance, the results have been generally consistent with a mortality benefit for CABG versus PCI, despite differential risks for restenosis with the various PCI approaches. The review also considers the impact of mammary artery grafting of the left anterior descending artery and individual case selection on these results, and proposes an algorithm for selection of patients in whom PCI remains a reasonable strategy.

Abstract Background Females comprise a minority of patients with chronic total occlusions (CTO). It is known that men have a greater benefit from CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than women. We aimed to determine gender-based differences in baseline characteristics and outcomes after PCI in patients with CTO. Methods The Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR) is a nationwide registry that registers outcomes of cardiac interventions. For the purpose of this analysis, the data of all patients undergoing PCI from inception of the NHR to December 2018 were selected, that included PCI with at least one CTO in one of the treated coronary arteries. We compared baseline characteristics and the outcomes 1 year mortality, 30 day myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularization (TVR) <1 year between men and women. Results A total of 7560 patients were identified that underwent PCI between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018 with at least 1 CTO in the treated vessel. A total of 5850 was male (77.4%) and 1710 was female (22.6%). Women were older (68.5±10.6 versus 64.7±10.6 years old, p<0.001), and more frequently had diabetes (29.4% [n=529] versus 25.0% [n=1602], p<0.001) and kidney disease (4.5% [n=529] versus 2.2% [n=142], p<0.001). However, men had more extensive cardiovascular disease, i.e. multi-vessel disease (56.0% [n=3584] versus 50.4% [n=912], p<0.001), previous MI (39.7% [n=2527] versus 31.0% [n=555], p<0.001), previous PCI (48.2% [n=1967] versus 40.2% [n=455], p<0.001) and previous coronary artery bypass grafting (16.8% [n=1085] versus 10.5% [n=191], p<0.001) and more frequently presented with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, compared to women (2.1% [n=136] versus 1.1% [n=20], p=0.004). The 1-year mortality was higher in women (10.3% versus 7.5%, p<0.001), as well as the 30-day MI (0.9% versus 0.4%, p=0.043), but men had higher risk for TVR<1 year (11.7% versus 9.5%, p=0.044). Corrected for age and comorbidities, female gender was an independent predictor for mortality (Figure 1; odds ratio 1.83, 95% confidence interval 1.08–3.11, p=0.025). Conclusion In this nationwide registry comprising 7560 CTO patients undergoing PCI, significant gender-based differences were found. Males were found to have more extensive cardiovascular disease. However, females were at higher risk of mortality, possibly due to higher age and higher prevalence of concomitant comorbidities. Figure 1.
