Introduction: Intravascular ultrasound is a new imaging modality that facilitate the process of coronary intervention. The angiographic evaluation of left main lesions significance is always questionable, IVUS detect the significance, guide the procedure and some studies proves a benefit in mortality. Objectives: To investigate whether intravascular ultrasound IVUS guided Left Main coronary intervention could improve clinical outcomes compared with angiographic-guided Left main coronary PCI. Patients and Methods: This controlled study was carried out between June 2017 and June 2019, in Tanta university Hospital and San Donato Hospital, Milan, 83 patients eligible to Left Main coronary intervention divided into two groups, IVUS-guided group (n=19) and angiographic-guided group(n=64). The occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE): death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularizations) were recorded 6 and18 Months of follow-up. Results: The IVUS-guided group had a lower rate of 18-months MACE than the control group. The incidence of target lesion revascularization was lower in the IVUS-guided group than in the control group. The incidence of TLR after 6 months was not different between both groups (1 cases in IVUS group (5.3%), 6 cases in angiography group (9.4%) (P value 0.686) while the incidence of TLR after 18 months was significantly different between both groups (1 cases in IVUS group (5.3%), 17 cases in angiography group (26.6%) (P value 0.048), However, there were no differences in death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis and number of patients treated with CABG in the 2 groups. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that IVUS-guided LM angioplasty can improve 18 -months MACE events especially the incidence of target lesion revascularization.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is a treatment of choice in ST elevation myocardial infarction patients (STEMI). However, this approach could affect the kidney function due to iodinated contrast exposure to the patient. Remote ischemic post conditioning (RIPostC) is a non-invasive and simple method that not only has cardioprotective but also renoprotective effect for kidney function. Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of RIPostC to kidney function in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. Methods This study uses pre and post-test only with control group design with experimental research designs. Data was taken at an Indonesian Heart Center from June 2019 until March 2020, there were 66 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) being performed RIPostC procedure with intermittent ischaemia and reperfusion applied to the arm through five cycles of 5-min inflation and 5-min deflation of an automated cuff device after crossing wire. Creatinine and eGFR were measured pre and 48 hours post PPCI. Kidney function were determined by eGFR post PPCI, ΔeGFR (pre and 48 hours post PPCI), creatinine post PPCI and Δcreatinine (pre and 48 hours post PPCI). Bivariate analysis was performed to determine the effect RIPostC to kidney function using the Chi-square test.  Result A total of 66 patients who underwent the PPCI procedure were divided into two groups RIPostC (n = 33) and without RIPostC (n = 33). The baseline characteristic in both of group was similar. We found that there were no differences of eGFR (70,46 ± 23,06 vs 65,88 ± 23,36, p = 0,424), ΔeGFR (0 [-34,68 - 37,32] vs 0 [-121,53 - 29,70], p value= 0,406), creatinine (1,00 [0,70 - 4,60] vs 1,20 [0,60-4,10], p value= 0,633) and Δcreatinine (0 [-1,20-1,10] vs 0 [-0,50-0,90], p value= 0,390) RIPostC group had a lower CI-AKI incident if we compare with the non RIPostC (15,2% vs 42,4%, p < 0,05). Conclusion Remote ischaemic conditioning does not significantly improve kidney function (eGFR, ΔeGFR, creatinine and Δcreatinine) in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI The differences of kidney functionVariableRIPostCControlp valueeGFR post PPCI (ml/min/1,73 m2), mean70,46 ± 23,0665,88 ± 23,360,424aΔeGFR(ml/min/1,73 m2), median0 [-34,68 - 37,32]0 [-121,53 - 29,70]0,406bCreatinine post PPCI (mg/dL), median1,00 [0,70 - 4,60]1,20 [0,60-4,10]0,633bΔcreatinine (mg/dL), median0 [-1,20-1,10]0 [-0,50-0,90]0,390ba = Independent sample T testb = mann whitney testAbstract Figure.

Abstract Aim and objectives The aim of this study was to assess the impact of high intensity statins used prior to primary PCI in patients presenting with acute STEMI (ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction) on myocardial perfusion and in-hospital MACE (major adverse cardiac events). Patients and Methods The study included 170 patients who presented with acute STEMI to the cardiology department of Ain Shams university hospitals and underwent primary PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention). They were divided into two groups where the first group received high intensity statins (40-80mg of atorvastatin or 20-40mg of rosuvastatin) besides guideline recommended therapy before primary PCI and the 2nd group served as a control group and received guideline recommended therapy, and high intensity statins after going back to the coronary care unit after primary PCI. Post interventional thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade and myocardial blush grade (MBG) were recorded and ST-segment resolution was measured. Results The majority of patients in both groups had the LAD as the culprit vessel for their presentation. In the control group there were 4 patients with TIMI I flow and MBG I, 13 with TIMI II flow and MBG II and 68 with TIMI III flow and MBG III. Meanwhile in the cases group there was 1 patient with TIMI I flow and MBG I, 3 with TIMI II flow and MBG II and 81 with TIMI III flow and MBG III. This difference was statistically significant with a P value of 0.010. There were 34 patients in the cases group who showed complete ST-segment resolution (40%) vs 19 patients (22.4%) in the control group which was statistically significant with a P value of 0.013. In addition, ejection fraction measured by M-mode had values of Mean+-SD of 45.91 ± 5.49 in cases group vs 43.01 ± 8.80 in control group which was statistically significant with a P value of 0.011. There was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding in-hospital death of all causes and stroke after primary PCI. Conclusion High intensity statin loading before primary PCI resulted in improved post-procedural TIMI flow, MBG, complete ST-segment resolution and ejection fraction as measured by M-mode but did not decrease incidence of in-hospital MACE.

Background: The effect of celecoxib on restenosis after angioplasty with a Taxus stent (COREA-TAXUS) trial is an open-label randomized controlled study, where we reported celecoxib was effective in reducing 6months late loss of Taxus stent. With this cohort, we analyzed long-term clinical outcomes. Method: Two hundred sixty seven patients underwent successful paclitaxel-eluting stents implantation for native coronary lesions. Patients were randomized to receive celecoxib (400 mg before the intervention, and 200 mg twice daily for 6 months after the procedure) or not. Clinical endpoints were cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and revascularization of the target lesion. Results: At 6 months, frequency of adverse cardiac events was significantly lower in the celecoxib group (5.3% versus 16.2%, P=0.005), mainly because of reduced need for revascularization of the target lesion (5.3% versus 15.4%, P=0.009). Between 6 and 24 months, frequency of adverse cardiac events was not different between the celecoxib group and the control group (1.6% versus 4.4%, P=NS: 0% versus 0% for cardiac death; 0.8% versus 0.9% for non-fatal myocardial infarction; 0.8% versus 3.5% for revascularization of target lesion, P=all NS). At 2 years, frequency of adverse cardiac events was still significantly lower in the celecoxib group (6.9% versus 19.9%, P=0.002) Conclusion: In the COREA-TAXUS trial, the adjunctive use of celecoxib for 6 months after Taxus stent implantation was safe and clinically effective for 2 years.

Objectives. We aim to evaluate long-term outcomes after left main coronary artery (LMCA) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Background. PCI of the LMCA has been an acceptable revascularization strategy in stable coronary artery disease. However, limited studies on long-term clinical outcomes of LMCA PCI in ACS patients are available. Methods. A total of 6429 consecutive patients with ACS undergoing PCI in Fuwai Hospital in 2013 were enrolled. Patients are divided into LMCA group and Non-LMCA group according to whether the target lesion was located in LMCA. Prognosis impact on 2-year major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) is analyzed. Results. 155 (2.4%) patients had target lesion in LMCA, while 6274 (97.6%) patients belong to the non-LMCA group. Compared with non-LMCA patients, LMCA patients have generally more comorbidities and worse baseline conditions. Two-year follow-up reveals that LMCA patients have significantly higher rate of cardiac death (2.6% vs. 0.7%, p=0.034), myocardial infarction (7.1% vs. 1.8%, p<0.001), in-stent thrombosis (4.5% vs. 0.8%, p<0.001), and stroke (7.1% vs. 6.4%, p=0.025). After adjusting for confounding factors, LMCA remains independently associated with higher 2-year myocardial infarction rate (HR = 2.585, 95% CI = 1.243–5.347, p=0.011). Conclusion. LMCA-targeted PCI is an independent risk factor for 2-year myocardial infarction in ACS patients.

Background: Data regarding the use of percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting balloons (DEB) versus thin-strut drug-eluting stents (thin-DES) for treating DES in-stent restenosis in everyday clinical practice is scarce. Our goal was to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of DEB versus thin-DES in DES in-stent restenosis. Methods: Consecutive patients with DES in-stent restenosis who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between 2008 and 2019 entered the multicenter DEB-DRAGON Registry with a follow-up of 3 years. Patients who received DEB at the index procedure (n=557, 49.9%) were compared with those who received thin-DES (n=560, 50.1%). Results: Analysis of the unmatched cohort revealed lower rates of target lesion revascularization (9.1% versus 13.6%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.58 [95% CI, 0.41–0.83], P =0.003), target vessel revascularization (11.8% versus 16.7%; HR, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.45–0.84], P =0.003) and device-oriented composite end point, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target lesion revascularization, and target vessel myocardial infarction (12.7% versus 16.0%; HR, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.50–0.94], P =0.018) in the thin-DES group compared with the DEB group. The incidence of cardiac death, target vessel-myocardial infarction, and myocardial infarction were similar in both groups. However, after propensity score matching, there were no significant differences in target lesion revascularization (11.2% versus 11.2%; HR, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.55–1.51], P =0.707), target vessel revascularization (13.4% versus 14.2%; HR, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.55–1.36], P =0.523), and device-oriented composite end point (14.2% versus 14.2%; HR, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.58–1.42], P =0.667) between the thin-DES and DEB group, respectively. Conclusions: This analysis of a real-life registry revealed similar long-term outcomes of thin-DES and DEB in DES in-stent restenosis regarding target lesion revascularization, myocardial infarction, cardiac death, and device-oriented composite end point.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the impact of smoking status on the long-term prognosis of male patients with left main coronary artery lesions who received percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted. A total of 3122 male patients with left main lesions who received percutaneous coronary intervention in our hospital were categorized by smoking status at admission: 1207 in the non-smokers group, 1339 in the current smokers group, and 576 in the ex-smokers group. The patients were followed up for 3 years. The main study endpoints were major cardiovascular adverse events (composite endpoints of all-cause death, all myocardial infarctions and revascularization) and target lesion failure (composite endpoints of cardiogenic death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, target vessel-related blood flow reconstruction). Results: The patients in the current smokers group was younger than the non-smokers group and the ex-smokers group (p<0.0001). In terms of prognosis, no statistical significance observed in the incidence of composite end point of MACE (p=0.9866), target lesion failure (p=0.2522), and stent thrombosis (p=0.2118), all-cause death (p=0.3130), cardiogenic death (p=0.2509), revascularization (p=0.5028), target vessel-related revascularization (p=0.9866), and stroke (p=0.3895), among the three groups. The current smokers group had the lowest incidence of myocardial infarction while ex-smokers group had the highest incidence rate(5.67%vs.5.10%vs.2.97%,p=0.0072), and so is the incidence of myocardial infarction related to target vessels (5.48%vs.5.10%vs.2.89%,p=0.0067). According to Cox regression analysis, history of myocardial infarction(HR=1.339,95%CI:1.042-1.722,p=0.0227), and baseline SYNTAX score(HR=1.0333, 95%CI:1.017-1.049,p<0.0001) are independent risk factors of MACE, while current smoking(HR=0.793,95%CI:0.646-0.974,p=0.0274) proves to be an independent protective factor of target vessel related myocardial infarction. Conclusion: For male patients with the left main coronary artery lesions receiving PCI, smoking has no impact on the long-term MACE or target lesion failure, current smoking is an independent protective factor for target vessel related myocardial infarction.
