Abstract
SARS-Cov-2 has been suggested to promote thrombotic complications and higher mortality. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 positivity on in-hospital outcome and 30-day mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) enrolled in the International Survey on Acute Coronary Syndromes ST-segment elevation Myocardial Infarction (ISACS-STEMI COVID-19 registry. The 109 SARS-CoV-2 positive patients were compared with 2005 SARS-CoV-2 negative patients. Positive patients were older (P = .002), less often active smokers (P = .002), and hypercholesterolemic (P = .006), they presented more often later than 12 h (P = .037), more often to the hub and were more often in cardiogenic shock (P = .02), or requiring rescue percutaneous coronary intervention after failed thrombolysis (P < .0001). Lower postprocedural Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 3 flow (P = .029) and more thrombectomy (P = .046) were observed. SARS-CoV-2 was associated with a significantly higher in-hospital mortality (25.7 vs 7%, adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) [95% Confidence Interval] = 3.2 [1.71-5.99], P < .001) in-hospital definite in-stent thrombosis (6.4 vs 1.1%, adjusted Odds Ratio [95% CI] = 6.26 [2.41-16.25], P < .001) and 30-day mortality (34.4 vs 8.5%, adjusted Hazard Ratio [95% CI] = 2.16 [1.45-3.23], P < .001), confirming that SARS-CoV-2 positivity is associated with impaired reperfusion, with negative prognostic consequences.

[PMID: 37946346 DOI: 10.2174/011871529x261360231103075012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a global health crisis with significant morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of COVID-19 in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for myocardial infarction and identify associated demographic and clinical characteristics. METHODS In this study, a retrospective and descriptive cross-sectional design was used to examine all patients (a total of 85) who experienced acute myocardial infarction and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study measured various parameters, such as COVID-19 status, age, sex, ethnicity, diabetes, and hypertension. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25 software. RESULTS Out of the 85 patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for myocardial infarction (MI), 14 patients (16.5%) were found to have COVID-19. COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed through RT-PCR testing for 2 patients, while the remaining 12 patients were diagnosed using lung CT scans. Among the COVID-19 patients, 21.4% (n = 3) had background diabetes, and 7.1% (n = 1) had background hypertension. MI recurrence was observed in 14.3% of COVID-19 patients (2 cases). Unfortunately, 1 COVID-19 patient, a 70- year-old Persian woman with diabetes and hypertension, passed away. No significant differences were found in terms of age, sex, ethnicity, underlying diabetes, or underlying hypertension between the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 groups. CONCLUSION The high occurrence of COVID-19 among myocardial infarction (MI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is worth noting. Further investigation is recommended to explore the impact of demographic and contextual factors on the severity and outcomes of primary PCI in MI patients with COVID-19, as well as the underlying mechanisms involved.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Fatal COVID-19-Associated Lung Injury. DISEASE MARKERS 2021; 2021:5566826.

Abstract
An excess formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), previously shown to be strongly associated with cytokine storm and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with prevalent endothelial dysfunction and thrombosis, has been postulated to be a central factor influencing the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of severe COVID-19. A growing number of serological and morphological evidence has added to this assumption, also in regard to potential treatment options. In this study, we used immunohistochemistry and histochemistry to trace NETs and their molecular markers in autopsy lung tissue from seven COVID-19 patients. Quantification of key immunomorphological features enabled comparison with non-COVID-19 diffuse alveolar damage. Our results strengthen and extend recent findings, confirming that NETs are abundantly present in seriously damaged COVID-19 lung tissue, especially in association with microthrombi of the alveolar capillaries. In addition, we provide evidence that low-density neutrophils (LDNs), which are especially prone to NETosis, contribute substantially to COVID-19-associated lung damage in general and vascular blockages in particular.

Abstract
Background and aims SARS-Cov-2 predisposes patients to thrombotic complications, due to excessive inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and coagulation/fibrinolysis disturbances. The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical characteristics and prognostic impact of SARS-CoV-2 positivity among STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods We selected SARS-CoV-2 positive patients included in the ISACS-STEMI COVID-19, a retrospective multicenter European registry including 6609 STEMI patients treated with PPCI from March 1st until April 30th, in 2019 and 2020. As a reference group, we randomly sampled 5 SARS-Cov-2 negative patients per each SARS-CoV-2 positive patient, individually matched for age, sex, and hospital/geographic area. Study endpoints were in-hospital mortality, definite stent thrombosis, heart failure. Results Our population is represented by 62 positive SARS-CoV-2 positive patients who were compared with a matched population of 310 STEMI patients. No significant difference was observed in baseline characteristics or the modality of access to the PCI center. In the SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the culprit lesion was more often located in the RCA (p < 0.001). Despite similar pre and postprocedural TIMI flow, we observed a trend in higher use of GP IIb-IIIa inhibitors and a significantly higher use of thrombectomy in the SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. SARS-CoV-2 positivity was associated with a remarkably higher in hospital mortality (29% vs 5.5%, p < 0.001), definite in-stent thrombosis (8.1% vs 1.6%, p = 0.004) and heart failure (22.6% vs 10.6%, p = 0.001) that was confirmed after adjustment for confounding factors. Conclusions Our study showed that among STEMI patients, SARS-CoV-2 positivity is associated with larger thrombus burden, a remarkably higher mortality but also higher rates of in-stent thrombosis and heart failure.

Abstract
Background Cytokine storm-related hypercoagulation may be important in the pathogenesis of stent thrombosis in patients with SARS-CoV-2. Whether stent polymers behave differently under such conditions has never been explored. Methods Fluorinated polymer-nanocoated and uncoated COBRA stents (CeloNova), BioLinx-polymer-coated Resolute Onyx stents (Medtronic), and Synergy stents (Boston Scientific), which are abluminally coated with a bioabsorbable polymer, were exposed to human blood from healthy donors which was supplemented with 400 pg/mL IL-6 and 100 pg/mL TNF-α, similar to what is seen in cytokine storm caused by SARS-CoV-2. Platelet adhesion and neutrophil activation, assessed by immunofluorescence, were compared under cytokine storm and control conditions (untreated blood) (n = 4 experimental runs). Results Platelet adhesion values, defined as %platelet-covered area x staining intensity, were significantly lower in coated and uncoated COBRA and in Resolute Onyx than in Synergy under control conditions (1.28 × 107 ± 0.43 × 107 vs. 2.92 × 107 ± 0.49 × 107 vs. 3.57 × 107 ± 0.73 × 107 vs. 9.94 × 107 ± 0.99 × 107; p ≤0.0001). In cytokine storm, platelet adhesion values remained low in coated COBRA-PzF (1.78 × 107 ± 0.38 × 107) compared to all other devices (uncoated COBRA: 5.92 × 107 ± 0.96 × 107; Resolute Onyx: 7.27 × 107 ± 1.82 × 107; Synergy: 11.28 × 107 ± 1.08 × 107; p ≤ 0.0001). Although cytokine storm conditions significantly increased neutrophil activation in all stents, it was significantly less in coated and uncoated COBRA, and in Resolute Onyx than in Synergy. Conclusions Blood-biomaterials interactions may determine the thrombogenic potential of stents. Under simulated cytokine storm conditions, fluoropolymer-coated stents showed the most favorable anti-thrombogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract
The recent Sars-Cov-2 pandemic (COVID-19) has led to growing research on the relationship between thromboembolism and Sars-Cov-2 infection. Nowadays, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, coagulation, and inflammatory host immune response are the subject of extensive researches in patients with COVID-19 disease. However, studies on the link between microorganisms or infections and thrombotic or thromboembolic events met fluctuating interest in the past. We, therefore, aimed to briefly summarize previous evidence on this topic, highlighting common points between previous data and what experienced today with SARS-COV2 infections.

Abstract
Although COVID-19 is viewed primarily as a respiratory disease, cardiovascular risk factors and disease are prevalent among infected patients and are associated with worse outcomes. In addition, among multiple extra-pulmonary manifestations, there has been an increasing recognition of specific cardiovascular complications of COVID-19. Despite this, in the initial stages of the pandemic there was evidence of a reduction in patients presenting to acute cardiovascular services. In this masterclass review, with the aid of 2 exemplar cases, we will focus on the important therapeutic implications of COVID-19 for interventional cardiologists. We summarize the existing evidence base regarding the varied cardiovascular presentations seen in COVID-19 positive patients and the prognostic importance and potential mechanisms of acute myocardial injury in this setting. Importantly, through the use of a systematic review of the literature, we focus our discussion on the observed higher rates of coronary thrombus burden in patients with COVID-19 and acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract
Die Infektion mit dem Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2, severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2) hat sich zu einer globalen Gesundheitskrise entwickelt. Berichten zufolge ist die Inzidenz von thromboembolischen Erkrankungen bei der SARS-CoV2-Krankheit hoch und betrifft ein breites Spektrum an Organsystemen, von Hautthrombosen bis zu Lungenembolien, Schlaganfall oder Koronarthrombose, bisweilen mit katastrophalen Folgen. Es liegen Hinweise vor, nach denen Thromboembolien, Hyperkoagulabilität und eine Überproduktion proinflammatorischer Zytokine, die einen Zytokinsturm nachahmen, der zu Multiorganversagen führt, eine Schlüsselrolle dabei spielen. Die vorliegende kurze narrative Übersichtsarbeit beleuchtet die Pathophysiologie und die Risikofaktoren der thromboembolischen Erkrankung und liefert einen Rahmen für das Antikoagulationsmanagement auf Grundlage der aktuellen Evidenzlage.

Abstract
Thrombotic complications in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection have been increasingly recognized, particularly those affecting the cardiovascular system. Patients with COVID-19 infection can suffer from increased coagulopathy as well as myocardial injury. In this review, we discuss these complications with special focus on management challenges in patients with acute coronary disease based on the available evidence from published literature.

Abstract
Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV2/ Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2) infection has emerged as a global health crisis. Incidence of thromboembolic disease is reported to be high in SARS-CoV2 disease and is seen in a multitude of organ systems ranging from cutaneous thrombosis to pulmonary embolism, stroke or coronary thrombosis sometimes with catastrophic outcomes. Evidence points towards a key role of thromboembolism, hypercoagulability and over production of proinflammatory cytokines mimicking a "cytokine storm" which leads to multiorgan failure. This brief narrative review highlights the pathophysiology and risk factors of thromboembolic disease and provides a framework for management of anticoagulation based on the current evidence.

Abstract
COVID-19 can present with a broad clinical spectrum of cardiac manifestations. The procoagulant state in COVID-19 can independently increase the risk of coronary thrombosis in otherwise healthy patients. COVID-19 patients who develop typical chest pain should be investigated for acute myocardial infarction.
COVID-19 predominantly presents with respiratory symptoms, but other presentations are reported, including cardiac manifestations and thromboembolism. We present a healthy young gentleman with COVID-19 pneumonia, who developed acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to coronary thrombosis. He was managed successfully by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
