Abstract
Carvedilol can inhibit inflammation, vasoconstriction, and oxidative stress, which play important roles in the development and progression of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). To the best of our knowledge, no studies have investigated the potential effect of carvedilol on the prevalence of CIN after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The present study aimed to determine whether carvedilol use is associated with the development of CIN. A total of 319 patients (mean age, 59.2 ± 12.4 years; 77.7% male) with ACS who underwent urgent PCI at our institution between May 2019 and May 2022 were included prospectively. Overall, 100 and 219 patients were assigned to the carvedilol and metoprolol groups, respectively. The prevalence of CIN was significantly lower in the carvedilol group (6.0%) than in the metoprolol group (18.3%; P = .003). Multivariate analysis revealed that carvedilol use (odds ratio [OR] .250, 95% confidence interval [CI] .092-.677, P = .006), amount of contrast agent (OR 1.004, 95% CI 1.000-1.008, P = .031), and admission estimated glomerular filtration rate (OR .978, 95% CI 0.960-.995, P = .014) were independently associated with the development of CIN. The use of carvedilol may be a promising option for the prevention of CIN in patients with ACS undergoing urgent PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive revascularization is recommended for cohorts of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). However, the optimal timing of invasive revascularization is still controversial and no defined consensus is established. We aim to give a comprehensive appraisal on the optimal timing of invasive strategy in the heterogenous population of ACS. METHODS Relevant studies were assessed through PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, and Cochrane Library from inception until April 2023. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality were our primary outcomes of interest, other secondary outcomes were cardiac death, TVR, MI, repeat revascularization, recurrent ischemia, and major bleeding. The data was pooled as odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) in a random effect model using STATA 17 MP. RESULTS A total of 26 studies comprising 21,443 patients were included in the analysis. Early intervention was favor to decrease all-cause mortality (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.64 to 0.98, p = 0.03), when compared to delayed intervention. Subgroup analysis showed that early intervention was significantly associated with all-cause mortality reduction in only NSTE-ACS (OR = 0.83, 95% CI [0.7 to 0.99], p = 0.04). However, there was no significant difference between early and delayed intervention in terms of MACE, cardiac death, TVR, MI, repeat revascularization, recurrent ischemia, and major bleeding. CONCLUSION An early intervention was associated with lower mortality rates compared to delayed intervention in NSTE-ACS with no significant difference in other clinical outcomes.

Effectiveness of Primary Coronary Intervention for Patients With Delayed ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Insights from Moroccan Cardiology Intensive Care Units. Am J Cardiol 2024; 216:1-8. [PMID: 38181862 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.12.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
The benefits of myocardial revascularization in ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome after 12 to 24 hours from symptom onset remain a topic of debate, especially in patients who are stable and asymptomatic. We analyzed the benefit of late revascularization by primary coronary intervention in patients admitted to Moroccan cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after 12 hours of symptom onset. We included a total of 406 patients who met the inclusion criteria: 262 patients in the invasive strategy group and 144 patients in the conservative strategy group. A total of 74.6% were men, and 25.4% were women. For the primary outcome, 46 all-cause deaths were observed at 1 year, with 33 patients in the conservative strategy arm and 13 patients in the invasive strategy group, with a significant difference between the 2 groups (p <0.001). For secondary outcomes, there was no difference in readmission for acute coronary syndrome or acute heart failure between the 2 groups (p = 0.277, p = 0.205). For in-CICU cardiogenic shock and ejection fraction <35% at discharge, more events are observed in the conservative strategy, with a significant difference for both (p <0.001). In multivariable analysis, 1-year all-cause mortality was independently associated with revascularization between 12 and 48 hours (hazard ratio [HR] 0.372, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.182 to 0.762, p = 0.007), ejection fraction <35% at discharge (HR 1.92, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.54, p = 0.04), and cardiogenic shock in-CICU (HR 2.69, 95% CI 1.82 to 3.78, p = 0.005).Although no evidence exists to date on the true benefit of late primary coronary intervention revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, this practice remains common, as indicated by the results of most registries.

Abstract
Complex revascularization strategies, particularly complete revascularization, are controversial in coronary artery disease (CAD), and data supporting routine revascularization in stable CAD is lacking. The importance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in CAD and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), which has been studied as a predictor of major advanced cardiovascular events (MACE) in CAD patients, still requires further research. The aim of this study was to determine the association between NT-proBNP levels and the number of stents with MACE incidence in CAD cases. A prospective cohort study was conducted in both types of CAD (acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS)). The NT-proBNP levels were measured pre- and post-PCI using fluorescence immunoassay, while MACE was assessed three months post-PCI. The Student t-test was used to compare the levels of NT-proBNP between pre- and post-PCI and between those who had MACE and did not; both in patients treated with single or multiple stenting groups. A total of 32 CAD patients were recruited, consisting of 20 ACS cases and 12 CCS cases. NT-proBNP levels post-PCI increased significantly in both ACS and CCS patients compared to pre-PCI either among those treated with single and multiple stentings. MACE occurred in 4 (12.5%) out of a total of 32 patients, all of which occurred in ACS patients treated with multiple stentings. Those who had MACE had higher post-PCI NT-proBNP levels compared to those who did not have MACE (23,703.50 vs 11,600.17 pg/mL, p=0.013). This study highlights the association between elevated NT-proBNP levels and multiple stenting with the presence of MACE in CAD patients, particularly in ACS cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the effect of coronary stent policies implemented in Shanghai on the risk of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) inpatients based on real-world data. METHODS Two retrospective cohorts of inpatients with a first diagnosis of ACS who had undergone PCI for the first time in the previous year in Shanghai hospitals were examined (one for the postpolicy period and the other for the prepolicy period). χ2 tests were used to compare categorical variables between the two cohorts. Single- and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) between the two cohorts. RESULTS A total of 31,760 ACS patients were included in this study. The proportion of ACS inpatients who had at least one bid-winning stent and 3 or more coronary stents implanted for first-time PCI in the postpolicy cohort was higher than that in the prepolicy cohort (86.52% vs. 55.67% and 6.27% vs. 4.39%, respectively; all p values < 0.0001). The single- and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models revealed that the unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios for MACEs at 1 year after PCI for the postpolicy cohort relative to the prepolicy cohort were 0.869 (P<0.0001) and 0.814 (P = 0.0007), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of coronary stent policies changed coronary stent utilization but had no significant adverse effects on the risk of PCI among ACS patients in Shanghai in the short term. However, the reasons for changes in the number of coronary stents implanted should be analyzed and addressed in the future.

Abstract
Limited data exist regarding outcomes after coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients aged ≥90 years admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We studied sequential CICU patients ≥90 years admitted with ACS from 2007 to 2018. Three therapeutic approaches were defined: (1) No CAG; (2) CAG without PCI (CAG/No PCI); and (3) CAG with PCI (CAG/PCI). In-hospital mortality was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression. All-cause 1-year mortality was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis. The study included 239 patients with a median age of 92 (range 90 to 100) years (57% females; 45% ST-elevation myocardial infarction; 8% cardiac arrest; 16% shock). The No CAG group had higher Day 1 Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores, more co-morbidities, worse kidney function, and fewer ST-elevation myocardial infarctions. In-hospital mortality was 20.8% overall and did not differ between the No CAG (n = 103; 21.4%), CAG/No PCI (n = 47; 21.3%), and CAG/PCI (n = 90; 20.0%) groups, before or after adjustment. Overall 1-year mortality was 52.5% and did not differ between groups before or after adjustment. Median survival was 6.9 months overall and 41.2% of hospital survivors died within 1 year of CICU admission. CICU patients aged ≥90 years with ACS have a substantial burden of illness with high in-hospital and 1-year mortality that was not lower in those who underwent CAG or PCI. These results suggest that careful patient selection for invasive coronary procedures is essential in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary treatment for patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite this, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) remains a significant concern. Our study seeks to optimize PCI predictive modeling by employing an ensemble learning approach to identify the most effective combination of predictive variables. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a retrospective, non-interventional analysis of MI patient data from 2018 to 2021, focusing on those who underwent PCI. Our principal metric was the occurrence of 1-year postoperative MACEs. Variable selection was performed using lasso regression, and predictive models were developed using the Super Learner (SL) algorithm. Model performance was appraised by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the average precision (AP) score. Our cohort included 3,880 PCI patients, with 475 (12.2%) experiencing MACEs within one year. The SL model exhibited superior discriminative performance, achieving a validated AUC of 0.982 and an AP of 0.971, which markedly surpassed the traditional logistic regression models (AUC: 0.826, AP: 0.626) in the test cohort. Thirteen variables were significantly associated with the occurrence of 1-year MACEs. CONCLUSION Implementing the Super Learner algorithm has substantially enhanced the predictive accuracy for the risk of MACEs in MI patients. This advancement presents a promising tool for clinicians to craft individualized, data-driven interventions to better patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients with stable hemodynamic status after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after preoperative investigations can provide outcomes comparable to those of emergency surgery. However, no established guidelines exist regarding the preparation period before surgery. We report the results of the use of an inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program followed by CABG after an ACS to improve post-operative outcomes and prognosis after discharge. METHODS From 2005 to 2017, 471 patients underwent either isolated or combined CABG at our institution, and of those, the 393 who received isolated CABG were included in the analysis. Twenty-seven patients (6.9%) were admitted with ACS and underwent preoperative rehabilitation before undergoing CABG, with a subsequent review of surgical morbidity and mortality rates. Propensity score matching yielded a cohort of 26 patients who underwent preoperative rehabilitation (group A) and 26 controls (group B). Preoperative characteristics were similar between groups. RESULTS The completion rate of the rehabilitation program was 96.3%. All programs were conducted with inpatients, with an average length of stay of 23 ± 12 days. All patients completed in-bed exercises, and 85% completed out-of-bed exercises. The 30-day postoperative mortality was 0% in both groups A and B, and the rate of postoperative major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events at 12 months did not differ significantly between groups (7.7% vs 3.9%, respectively; p = 1.0). The duration of mechanical ventilation (1.3 ± 0.3 vs 1.5 ± 0.3 days, respectively; p = 0.633), length of intensive care unit stay (4.4 ± 2.1 vs 4.8 ± 2.3 days, respectively; p = 0.584) and length of hospital stay (25 ± 13 vs 22 ± 9 days, respectively; p = 0.378) did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSIONS No complications of preoperative rehabilitation were observed, suggesting that it is an acceptable option for patients who experience ACS and undergo CABG. These results are promising in offering more robust designs of future trials.

Abstract
This prespecified substudy of the randomized Percutaneous Complete Revascularization Strategies Using Sirolimus Eluting Biodegradable Polymer Coated Stents in Patients Presenting With Acute Coronary Syndromes and Multivessel Disease (BIOVASC) trial aimed to compare immediate complete revascularization (ICR) and staged complete revascularization (SCR) in patients with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel disease, stratified by gender. The primary end point consisted of a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, unplanned ischemia-driven revascularization, and cerebrovascular events at 1-year follow-up. The secondary end points included the individual components of the primary composite and major bleedings. We used Cox regression models to relate randomized treatment with study end points. We evaluated the multiplicative and additive interactions between gender and randomized treatment. The BIOVASC trial enrolled 338 women and 1,187 men. Women were older than men (median age 71.6 vs 63.7 years, p <0.001) and had a higher prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (10.1% vs 5.6%, p = 0.003), renal insufficiency (7.7% vs 4.4%, p = 0.015), and hypertension (60.4% vs 51.7%, p = 0.005). In women, the composite primary outcome occurred in 7.3% versus 12.9% (hazard ratio 0.53, 95% confidence interval 0.26 to 1.08) in patients randomly allocated to ICR and SCR, respectively, and in men in 7.7% versus 8.4% (hazard ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.60 to 1.34), with no evidence of a differential effect (interaction pmultiplicative = 0.20, padditive = 0.87). No evidence of heterogeneity between women and men was found when comparing ICR with SCR in terms of the secondary outcomes. In conclusion, no differential treatment effect was found when comparing ICR versus SCR in women or men presenting with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been increasing interest in using del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery. However, there is limited evidence for its efficacy in patients with acute coronary syndrome and reduced ejection fraction. METHODS This study examined patients with decreased ejection fraction (EF < 40%) who were hospitalized due to acute coronary syndrome and received either del Nido (DN) or cold blood cardioplegia (CB). The patients were matched based on age, gender, myocardial infarction at baseline, and number of conducted surgical procedures. An analysis was conducted on postoperative biomarker release (high-sensitivity troponin T and isoenzyme creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB)), changes in myocardial contractility and perioperative outcomes. RESULTS 62 pairs of patients with similar baseline characteristics were selected. 51.6% of pairs underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, while 48.4% underwent a complex procedure. Postoperative troponin values did not differ significantly at 12 h (median (IQR): 606.7 (381.4-974.8) pg/mL vs. 552 (231.8-1579.5) pg/mL; p = 0.913), nor did CK-MB (median (IQR): 24.3 (12.6-45.5) ng/mL vs. 23.7 (12.3-49.8) ng/mL; p = 0.972). The postoperative EF was similar between groups (median (IQR): 30% (30-35%) vs. 34% (30-38%); p = 0.323). No difference in perioperative mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, or composite endpoint was noted. In a multivariate analysis, the cardioplegia protocol did not affect biomarker release or changes in ejection fraction. The first stage of acute kidney injury was more frequent in the CB group (28.5% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS Both del Nido and cold blood cardioplegia provide adequate cardioprotection in patients with acute coronary syndrome with decreased ejection fraction.

Abstract
AIMS The no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) is a common complication of saphenous vein graft (SVG) interventions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) on the development of NRP in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous SVG intervention. METHODS The study included 223 patients who presented at our center with ACS, had a history of coronary artery bypass graft and underwent a saphenous graft procedure. The relationship between SHR calculated at the time of presentation from glucose and HbA1c values, and the development of NRP evaluated after the procedure with angiography was determined with univariate and multivariate binary regression analysis. RESULT The study population was separated into two groups as those who developed and did not develop NRP. Mean age was determined to be significantly higher in the group that did not develop NRP compared to the group with NRP (p: 0.004). Angiographically, the thrombus burden was determined to be significantly higher in the group that developed NRP (p < 0.001). Patients were separated into 3 tertiles according to the SHR level (T1, T2, T3), and the rate of NRP development was determined at a significantly higher rate in the T3 group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that SHR, a parameter that can be easily calculated noninvasively, is an independent predictor of NRP development in ACS patients undergoing saphenous interventions. In addition, high thrombus burden and predilatation before stenting were also found to be factors that increase the likelihood of developing NRP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after coronary revascularization for left-main disease is still debated. The study aimed to characterize patients who received dual versus single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for unprotected left-main disease and compare the outcomes of those patients. RESULTS This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 551 patients who were grouped into 2 groups: patients who received SAPT (n = 150) and those who received DAPT (n = 401). There were no differences in age ( P = 0.451), gender ( P = 0.063), smoking ( P = 0.941), diabetes mellitus ( P = 0.773), history of myocardial infarction ( P = 0.709), chronic kidney disease ( P = 0.615), atrial fibrillation ( P = 0.306), or cerebrovascular accident ( P = 0.550) between patients who received SAPT versus DAPT. DAPTs were more commonly used in patients with acute coronary syndrome [87 (58%) vs. 273 (68.08%); P = 0.027], after off-pump CABG [12 (8%) vs. 73 (18.2%); P = 0.003] and in patients with radial artery grafts [1 (0.67%) vs. 32 (7.98%); P < 0.001]. While SAPTs were more commonly used in patients with low ejection fraction [55 (36.67%) vs. 61 (15.21%); P < 0.001] and in patients with postoperative acute kidney injury [27 (18%) vs. 37 (9.23%); P = 0.004]. The attributed treatment effect of DAPT for follow-up major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiac events was not significantly different from that of SAPT [β, -2.08 (95% confidence interval (CI), -20.8-16.7); P = 0.828]. The attributed treatment effect of DAPT on follow-up all-cause mortality was not significantly different from that of SAPT [β, 4.12 (CI, -11.1-19.32); P = 0.595]. There was no difference in bleeding between groups ( P = 0.666). CONCLUSIONS DAPTs were more commonly used in patients with acute coronary syndrome, after off-pump CABG, and with radial artery grafts. SAPTs were more commonly used in patients with low ejection fraction and acute kidney injury. Patients on DAPT after CABG for left-main disease had comparable major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiac events and survival to patients on SAPT, with no difference in bleeding events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In-stent restenosis (ISR) has been shown to be correlated with inflammation. This study aimed to examine the relationship between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII, an innovative inflammatory biomarker) and ISR in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. METHODS Subjects who were diagnosed with ACS and underwent DES implantation were enrolled retrospectively. All individuals underwent follow-up coronary angiography at six to forty-eight months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). SII was defined as [(platelet count × neutrophil count)/lymphocyte count], and Ln-transformed SII (LnSII) was carried out for our analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the association between LnSII and DES-ISR. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 12 (11, 20) months, 523 ACS patients who underwent follow-up angiography were included. The incidence of DES-ISR was 11.28%, and patients in the higher LnSII tertile trended to show higher likelihoods of ISR (5.7% vs. 12.1% vs. 16.0%; P = 0.009). Moreover, each unit of increased LnSII was correlated with a 69% increased risk of DES-ISR (OR = 1.69, 95% CI 1.04-2.75). After final adjusting for confounders, a significant higher risk of DES-ISR (OR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.23-5.17) was found in participants in tertile 3 (≥ 6.7), compared with those in tertiles 1-2 (< 6.7). Subgroup analysis showed no significant dependence on age, gender, body mass index, current smoking, hypertension, and diabetes for this positive association (all P for interaction > 0.05). CONCLUSION High levels of SII were independently associated with an increased risk of DES-ISR in ACS patients who underwent PCI. Further prospective cohort studies are still needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the long-term effects of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance on patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation. Methods: Data used in this study derived from ULTIMATE trial, which was a prospective, multicenter, randomized study. A total of 1 448 all-comer patients were enrolled between 2014 August and 2017 May. Primary endpoint of this study was target vessel failure (TVF) at 3 years, including cardiac death, target-vessel-related myocardial infarction, and clinically-driven target vessel revascularization. Results: ACS was present in 1 136 (78.5%) patients, and 3-year clinical follow-up was available in 1 423 patients (98.3%). TVF in the ACS group was 9.6% (109/1 136), which was significantly higher than 4.5% (14/312) in the non-ACS group (log-rank P=0.005). There were 109 TVFs in the ACS patients, with 7.6% (43/569) TVFs in the IVUS group and 11.6% (66/567) TVFs in the angiography group (log-rank P=0.019). Moreover, patients with optimal IVUS guidance were associated with a lower risk of 3-year TVF compared to those with suboptimal IVUS results (5.4% (16/296) vs. 9.9% (27/273),log-rank P=0.041). Conclusions: This ULTIMATE-ACS subgroup analysis showed that ACS patients undergoing DES implantation were associated with a higher risk of 3-year TVF. More importantly, the risk of TVF could be significantly decreased through IVUS guidance in patients with ACS, especially in those who had an IVUS-defined optimal procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy with a potent P2Y12 inhibitor coupled with aspirin for 1 year is the recommended treatment for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). As an alternative, monotherapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor after a short period of dual antiplatelet therapy has emerged as a bleeding reduction strategy. METHODS We pooled individual patient data from randomized trials that included patients with ACS undergoing PCI treated with an initial 3-month course of dual antiplatelet therapy followed by ticagrelor monotherapy versus continued ticagrelor plus aspirin. Patients sustaining a major ischemic or bleeding event in the first 3 months after PCI were excluded from analysis. The primary outcome was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5 bleeding occurring between 3 and 12 months after index PCI. The key secondary end point was the composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Hazard ratios and 95% CIs were generated using Cox regression with a one-stage approach in the intention-to-treat population. RESULTS The pooled cohort (n=7529) had a mean age of 62.8 years, 23.2% were female, and 55% presented with biomarker-positive ACS. Between 3 and 12 months, ticagrelor monotherapy significantly reduced Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3 or 5 bleeding compared with ticagrelor plus aspirin (0.8% versus 2.1%; hazard ratio, 0.37 [95% CI, 0.24-0.56]; P<0.001). Rates of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke were not significantly different between groups (2.4% versus 2.7%; hazard ratio, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.68-1.21]; P=0.515). Findings were unchanged among patients presenting with biomarker-positive ACS. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with ACS undergoing PCI who have completed a 3-month course of dual antiplatelet therapy, discontinuation of aspirin followed by ticagrelor monotherapy significantly reduced major bleeding without incremental ischemic risk compared with ticagrelor plus aspirin.

Stopping Aspirin Within 1 Month After Stenting for Ticagrelor Monotherapy in Acute Coronary Syndrome: The T-PASS Randomized Noninferiority Trial. Circulation 2024; 149:562-573.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stopping aspirin within 1 month after implantation of a drug-eluting stent for ticagrelor monotherapy has not been exclusively evaluated for patients with acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ticagrelor monotherapy after <1 month of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is noninferior to 12 months of ticagrelor-based DAPT for adverse cardiovascular and bleeding events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS In this randomized, open-label, noninferiority trial, 2850 patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent drug-eluting stent implantation at 24 centers in South Korea were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either ticagrelor monotherapy (90 mg twice daily) after <1 month of DAPT (n=1426) or 12 months of ticagrelor-based DAPT (n=1424) between April 24, 2019, and May 31, 2022. The primary end point was the net clinical benefit as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, definite or probable stent thrombosis, stroke, and major bleeding at 1 year after the index procedure in the intention-to-treat population. Key secondary end points were the individual components of the primary end point. RESULTS Among 2850 patients who were randomized (mean age, 61 years; 40% ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction), 2823 (99.0%) completed the trial. Aspirin was discontinued at a median of 16 days (interquartile range, 12-25 days) in the group receiving ticagrelor monotherapy after <1 month of DAPT. The primary end point occurred in 40 patients (2.8%) in the group receiving ticagrelor monotherapy after <1-month DAPT, and in 73 patients (5.2%) in the ticagrelor-based 12-month DAPT group (hazard ratio, 0.54 [95% CI, 0.37-0.80]; P<0.001 for noninferiority; P=0.002 for superiority). This finding was consistent in the per-protocol population as a sensitivity analysis. The occurrence of major bleeding was significantly lower in the ticagrelor monotherapy after <1-month DAPT group compared with the 12-month DAPT group (1.2% versus 3.4%; hazard ratio, 0.35 [95% CI, 0.20-0.61]; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that stopping aspirin within 1 month for ticagrelor monotherapy is both noninferior and superior to 12-month DAPT for the 1-year composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, and major bleeding, primarily because of a significant reduction in major bleeding, among patients with acute coronary syndrome receiving drug-eluting stent implantation. Low event rates, which may suggest enrollment of relatively non-high-risk patients, should be considered in interpreting the trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), current guidelines recommend a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level < 1.4 mmol/L (<55 mg/dL). METHODS The JET-LDL is a multicenter, observational, prospective registry created to investigate levels of LDL-C in consecutive patients with ACS undergoing PCI at 35 Italian hospitals, and to report their lipid lowering therapies (LLT). Follow-up was planned at 1 and 3 months. LDL-C reduction >50% from baseline or level < 55 mg/dL at 1-month was the primary endpoint. RESULTS A total of 1095 patients were included: median age was 67 (58-75); 33.7% were already on LLT. Baseline LDL-C levels was 105 (76.5-137) mg/dL. At hospital discharge all patients were on LLT: 98.1% received statins (as mono or combination therapy), ezetimibe and PCSK9i were used in 60.1% and 8.5% of cases, respectively. Primary endpoint was achieved in 62% (95% CI 58-65) of cases. At 1-month LDL-C levels dropped to 53 (38-70) mg/dL (p < 0.001 vs baseline) and it was <55 mg/dL in 53% (95% CI 49-57) of patients; however, PCSK9i were added to 7 further cases. At 3-months 58% (95% CI 55-62) of patients achieved the target level, but PCSK9i was added to only 11 new patients. CONCLUSIONS In this real-world registry of ACS patients undergoing PCI, recommend LDL-C levels were obtained in 62% of patients, but PCSK9i prescription was limited to 10% of cases. As LLT pattern appeared mainly improved at hospital discharge, an early and strong treatment should be considered.

Abstract
The prevalence of multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients underscores the need for optimal revascularization strategies. The ongoing debate surrounding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), hybrid interventions, or medical-only management adds complexity to decision-making, particularly in specific angiographic scenarios. The article critically reviews existing literature, providing evidence-based perspectives on non-culprit lesion revascularization in ACS. Emphasis is placed on nuances such as the selection of revascularization methods, optimal timing for interventions, and the importance of achieving completeness in revascularization. The debate between culprit-only revascularization and complete revascularization is explored in detail, focusing on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), including patients with cardiogenic shock. Myocardial revascularization guidelines and recent clinical trials support complete revascularization strategies, either during the index primary PCI or within a short timeframe following the culprit lesion PCI (in both STEMI and NSTEMI). The article also addresses the complexities of decision-making in NSTEMI patients with multivessel CAD, advocating for immediate multivessel PCI unless complex coronary lesions require a staged revascularization approach. Finally, the article provided contemporary data on chronic total occlusion revascularization in ACS patients, highlighting the prognostic impact. In conclusion, the article addresses the evolving challenges of managing multivessel CAD in ACS patients, enhancing thoughtful integration into the clinical practice of recent data. We provided evidence-based, individualized approaches to optimize short- and long-term outcomes. The ongoing refinement of clinical and interventional strategies for non-culprit lesion management remains dynamic, necessitating careful consideration of patient characteristics, coronary stenosis complexity, and clinical context.

Abstract
Importance There is a lack of consensus regarding the interval of time-dependent postoperative mortality risk following acute coronary syndrome or stroke. Objective To determine the magnitude and duration of risk associated with the time interval between a preoperative cardiovascular event and 30-day postoperative mortality. Design, Setting, and Participants This is a longitudinal retrospective population-based cohort study. This study linked data from the Hospital Episode Statistics for National Health Service England, Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project and the Office for National Statistics mortality registry. All adults undergoing a National Health Service-funded noncardiac, nonneurologic surgery in England between April 1, 2007, and March 31, 2018, registered in Hospital Episode Statistics Admitted Patient Care were included. Data were analyzed from July 2021 to July 2022. Exposure The time interval between a previous cardiovascular event (acute coronary syndrome or stroke) and surgery. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were postoperative mortality at 60, 90, and 365 days. Multivariable logistic regression models with restricted cubic splines were used to estimate adjusted odds ratios. Results There were 877 430 patients with and 20 582 717 without a prior cardiovascular event (overall mean [SD] age, 53.4 [19.4] years; 11 577 157 [54%] female). Among patients with a previous cardiovascular event, the time interval associated with increased risk of postoperative mortality was surgery within 11.3 months (95% CI, 10.8-11.7), with subgroup risks of 14.2 months before elective surgery (95% CI, 13.3-15.3) and 7.3 months for emergency surgery (95% CI, 6.8-7.8). Heterogeneity in these timings was noted across many surgical specialties. The time-dependent risk intervals following stroke and myocardial infarction were similar, but the absolute risk was greater following a stroke. Regarding surgical urgency, the risk of 30-day mortality was higher in those with a prior cardiovascular event for emergency surgery (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.34-1.37) and an elective procedure (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.78-1.89) than those without a prior cardiovascular event. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, surgery within 1 year of an acute coronary syndrome or stroke was associated with increased postoperative mortality before reaching a new baseline, particularly for elective surgery. This information may help clinicians and patients balance deferring the potential benefits of the surgery against the desire to avoid increased mortality from overly expeditious surgery after a recent cardiovascular event.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the preventable complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to develop machine learning (ML) models to predict AKI after PCI in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS This study was conducted at Tehran Heart Center from 2015 to 2020. Several variables were used to design five ML models: Naïve Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression (LR), CatBoost (CB), Multi-layer Perception (MLP), and Random Forest (RF). Feature importance was evaluated with the RF model, CB model, and LR coefficients while SHAP beeswarm plots based on the CB model were also used for deriving the importance of variables in the population using pre-procedural variables and all variables. Sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC-AUC) were used as the evaluation measures. RESULTS A total of 4592 patients were included, and 646 (14.1%) experienced AKI. The train data consisted of 3672 and the test data included 920 cases. The patient population had a mean age of 65.6 ± 11.2 years and 73.1% male predominance. Notably, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) had the highest feature importance when training the RF model on only pre-procedural features. SHAP plots for all features demonstrated LVEF and age as the top features. With pre-procedural variables only, CB had the highest AUC for the prediction of AKI (AUC 0.755, 95% CI 0.713 to 0.797), while RF had the highest sensitivity (75.9%) and MLP had the highest specificity (64.35%). However, when considering pre-procedural, procedural, and post-procedural features, RF outperformed other models (AUC: 0.775). In this analysis, CB achieved the highest sensitivity (82.95%) and NB had the highest specificity (82.93%). CONCLUSION Our analyses showed that ML models can predict AKI with acceptable performance. This has potential clinical utility for assessing the individualized risk of AKI in ACS patients undergoing PCI. Additionally, the identified features in the models may aid in mitigating these risk factors.

Differential Prognostic Impact of IABP-SHOCK II Scores According to Treatment Strategy in Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Acute Coronary Syndrome: From the RESCUE Registry. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:183. [PMID: 38276062 PMCID: PMC10818598 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60010183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
Background: Early risk stratification is necessary for optimal determination of the treatment strategy in cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Therefore, we evaluated the prognostic impact of an intra-aortic balloon pump on the cardiogenic shock (IABP-SHOCK) II score according to the treatment strategies in ACS complicated by CS using the RESCUE (REtrospective and prospective observational Study to investigate Clinical oUtcomes and Efficacy of left ventricular assist device for Korean patients with cardiogenic shock) registry. Methods: The RESCUE registry contains multicenter observational retrospective and prospective cohorts that include 1247 patients with CS from 12 centers in Korea. A total of 865 patients with ACS complicated by CS were selected and stratified into low-, intermediate- and high-risk categories according to their IABP-SHOCK II scores and then according to treatment: non-mechanical support, IABP, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenators (ECMOs). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality during follow-up. Results: The observed mortality rates for the low-, intermediate-, and high-IABP-SHOCK II score risk categories were 28.8%, 52.4%, and 69.8%, respectively (p < 0.01). Patients in the non-mechanical support and IABP groups showed an increasingly elevated risk of all-cause mortality as their risk scores increased from low to high. In the ECMO group, the risk of all-cause mortality did not differ between the intermediate- and high-risk categories (HR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.81-1.81, p = 0.33). The IABP-SHOCK II scores for the non-mechanical support and IABP groups showed a better predictive performance (area under curve [AUC] = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.65-0.76) for mortality compared with the EMCO group (AUC = 0.61, 95% CI 0.54-0.67; p-value for comparison = 0.02). Conclusions: Risk stratification using the IABP-SHOCK II score is useful for predicting mortality in ACS complicated by CS when patients are treated with non-mechanical support or IABP. However, its prognostic value may be unsatisfactory in severe cases where patients require ECMOs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent thrombosis is a rare but deleterious event. Routine coronary angiography with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often deferred in the presence of laboratory markers of acute inflammation to prevent complications. The aim of this study was to investigate whether an acute inflammatory state is associated with an increased risk of early stent thrombosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Within a prospective single-center registry, the association between preprocedural acute inflammatory activation, defined as C-reactive protein plasma levels >50 mg/L or a leukocyte count >12 g/L, and occurrence of early (≤30 days) stent thrombosis was evaluated. In total, 11 327 patients underwent PCI and of those, 6880 patients had laboratory results available. 49.6% of the study population received PCI for an acute coronary syndrome and 50.4% for stable ischemic heart disease. In patients with signs of acute inflammatory activation (24.9%), PCI was associated with a significantly increased risk for stent thrombosis (hazard ratio, 2.89; P<0.00001), independent of age, sex, kidney function, number and type of stents, presence of multivessel disease, choice of P2Y12 inhibitor, and clinical presentation. Elevated laboratory markers of acute inflammation were associated with the occurrence of stent thrombosis in both patients with acute coronary syndrome (hazard ratio, 2.63; P<0.001) and in patients with stable ischemic heart disease (hazard ratio, 3.57; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS An acute inflammatory state at the time of PCI was associated with a significantly increased risk of early stent thrombosis. Evidence of acute inflammation should result in deferred PCI in elective patients, while future studies are needed for patients with acute coronary syndrome.
