Background
Transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) provides an alternative to oral anticoagulation for thromboembolic risk reduction in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). A meta-analysis of previous two randomized trials reported improved rates of hemorrhagic stroke, cardiovascular/unexplained death, and nonprocedural bleeding compared to warfarin (1). Recently, the next-generation LAAC device, the Watchman FLX system, became available, and showed a low incidence of adverse events and a high incidence of anatomic closure (2). This transcatheter stroke prevention has already been approved in Asian countries. However, there is little data of LAAC in Asian population.
Purpose
This study sought to assess efficacy and safety of LAAC for patients with nonvalvular AF in Asia.
Methods
The TERMINATOR (Transcatheter Modification of Left Atrial Appendage by Obliteration with Device) registry is a multicenter nonrandomized study in Japan. This enrolled patients who underwent LAAC in 23 Japanese institutions. The LAAC was indicated for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in whom oral anticoagulation is required, but who have a risk of bleeding (history of BARC type 3 bleeding or HAS-BLED score ≥3 points). Baseline patient and procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes were evaluated.
Results
A total of 729 patients were enrolled between September 2019 and November 2021. The mean age was 74.9±8.8 years and the mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 4.7±1.5. The Watchman generation 2.5 and FLX system were used in 469 (64.3%) and 260 patients (35.7%), respectively. Procedural success was achieved in 722 patients (99.0%). In-hospital adverse events were as follows; 6 tamponades (0.8%), 3 pericardial effusion (0.4%), 2 device embolization (0.3%), no stroke (0%), and no death (0%). During follow-up, device-related thrombus and all-cause death were reported in 16 (2.2%) and 23 patients (3.2%), respectively.
Conclusions
LAAC with the Watchman system provides compatible efficacy and safety outcomes in Asian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibody-mediated rejection is a major cause of graft injury and contributes to failure of pig xenografts in nonhuman primates (NHPs). Most 'natural' or elicited antibodies found in humans and NHPs are directed against pig glycan antigens, but antibodies binding to swine leukocyte antigens (SLA) have also been detected. Of clinical importance is (i) whether the presence of high levels of antibodies directed towards human leukocyte antigens (HLA) (i.e., high panel-reactive antibodies) would be detrimental to the outcome of a pig organ xenograft; and (ii) whether, in the event of sensitization to pig antigens, a subsequent allotransplant would be at increased risk of graft failure due to elicited anti-pig antibodies that cross-react with human HLA or other antigens. SUMMARY A literature review of pig-to-primate studies indicates that relatively few highly-HLA-sensitized humans have antibodies that cross-react with pigs, predicting that most would not be at increased risk of rejecting an organ xenograft. Furthermore, the existing evidence indicates that sensitization to pig antigens will probably not elicit increased alloantibody titers; if so, 'bridging' with a pig organ could be carried out without increased risk of subsequent antibody-mediated allograft failure. KEY MESSAGE These issues have important implications for the design and conduct of clinical xenotransplantation trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
To compare the observed and individual predicted mortalities according to the SYNTAX score II 2020 (SSII-2020) in the all-comers SYNTAX population, and retrospectively assess the appropriateness of revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with three vessel disease (3VD) and/or left main disease (LMCAD).
Methods
Internal and external validation of the SSII-2020 to predict 10-year all-cause death was performed in the respective randomized and registry SYNTAX populations. Differences in individual predicted mortalities following CABG or PCI were ranked and displayed with the observed mortalities. The proportions of screened patients deriving a survival benefit from CABG or PCI were determined retrospectively.
Results
A total of 2602 participants (as-treated population) were included in the randomized and registry cohorts. In the randomized cohort, all-cause mortality at 10 years, as an average treatment effect, was 23.8% (199/865) with CABG and 28.6% (249/901) with PCI, with a differential survival benefit of 4.6% (95% CI: 0.58% to 8.7%, log-rank p value=0.023). In the CABG and PCI registries, mortalities were 27.8% (167/644) and 55.4% (99/192), respectively. Calibration and discrimination of the SSII-2020 was helpful in CABG and PCI patients in the randomized and registry cohorts. In the PCI registry, the SSII-2020 underestimated mortality since specific comorbidities that entail high mortality are not included in the formula (C-index: 0.72, intercept: 0.38, slope: 0.66), whilst in the CABG registry, it predicted mortality with a helpful calibration and discrimination (C-index: 0.70, intercept: 0.00, slope: 0.76). The proportions of patients with a predicted survival benefit following CABG and PCI were respectively 78.3% (1383/1766) and 21.7% (383/1766) in the randomized cohort, and 82.4% (2143/2602) and 17.7% (459/2602) in the whole SYNTAX trial population.
Conclusion
In the randomized and registry cohort of this all-comers population with 3VD and/or LMCAD, there was reasonable agreement between the individual predicted and observed mortalities after CABG or PCI, such that the predicted 10-year survival benefit might be helpful in determining the appropriateness of each modality of revascularization.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Clinical presentation with STEMI is considered as a highly prothrombotic condition often associated with recurrent ischemic events. The role of aspirin as part of antiplatelet regimens in STEMI patients needs to be clarified especially in the context of new potent P2Y12 inhibitors
Aim
To assess the benefit and risk of 23-month ticagrelor monotherapy after one month of DAPT against the conventional 12-month DAPT with aspirin and ticagrelor followed by aspirin monotherapy among STEMI patients in the GLOBAL LEADERS trial.
Methods
We did a post hoc analysis of STEMI patients in the GLOBAL LEADERS trial (2092 patients). We compared the experimental ticagrelor monotherapy group (1062 patients) with the standard 12-month DAPT group (1030 patients) in rates of GLOBAL LEADERS predefined primary (composite of all-cause mortality or non-fatal, new Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI) and secondary end points (BARC 3 or 5 bleeding). NACE (Net Adverse Clinical Events) and POCE (Patient- Oriented Composite End points). We also compared GLOBAL LEADERS predefined end points in STEMI, UA, NSTEMI and CCS in both treatment arms.
Results
At two years, there were no significant differences in rates of GLOBAL LEADERS primary end points in patients who had or did not have STEMI. BARC bleeding in either treatment group didn't vary significantly among STEMI, NSTEMI and UA. Nevertheless, the experimental strategy had led to significant increase in BARC bleeding in CCS compared with STEMI at 1 and 2 years. There were similar rates of NACE and POCE in both the experimental and reference treatment groups at 1 and 2 years post PCI.
Conclusions and relevance
The incidence of GLOBAL LEADRER defined end points has not been impacted by STEMI presentation. Our findings suggest that an earlier cessation of DAPT at 1 month post primary PCI, with continuation of a potent P2Y12 antagonist monotherapy, could be safe and avoids additional bleeding risk in the STEMI setting. Given the post-hoc nature of the analysis, our findings should not necessitate changes in recommendations for practice by professional associations and regulatory agencies. However, all reported findings should rather be considered only as hypothesis-generating and need be replicated in dedicated large-scale randomized trials to further assess the role of Aspirin free antithrombotic strategies post PCI in STEMI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The SYNTAX score II 2020 (SSII-2020), which was derived and externally validated from randomized trials, was designed to predict death following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with three-vessel disease and/or left main disease. We aimed to investigate its value in identifying the safest modality of revascularization in a non-randomized setting.
Methods
Five-year mortality was assessed in 7362 patients with three-vessel disease and/or left main disease enrolled in a Japanese PCI/CABG registry. New-generation drug eluting stents and imaging guidance became the default PCI strategy during enrolment of the last cohort. The discriminative ability of the SSII-2020 for 5-year mortality was assessed using Harrell's C statistic (C-index). Agreement between observed and predicted rates of all-cause mortality following either PCI or CABG and treatment benefit (absolute risk difference) for this outcome were assessed by calibration plots.
Results
The SSII-2020 had helpful discrimination (C-index = 0.72) and good calibration (intercept = −0.11, slope = 0.92) for 5-year mortality. The absolute risk difference in mortality between CABG and PCI (treatment benefit) was well calibrated when the whole population was grouped into quarters according to the predicted absolute risk difference of 5-year mortality. The observed differences in survival in favor of CABG were 4.2% (0.1 to 8.2%, log-rank p=0.05) and 8.5% (3.8 to 13.2%, log-rank p<0.01) in the respective third and fourth quarters. In contrast, the observed differences in survival were not significantly different in either the first (3.0% [−0.8 to 6.8%, log-rank p=0.12]) or the second quarter (1.3% [−2.4 to 5.1%, log-rank p=0.39]).
Conclusions
The SSII-2020 is well able to predict death at 5 years – and the mortality difference between PCI and CABG, and therefore has the potential to support decision making on revascularization in patients with three-vessel disease and/or left main coronary artery disease.

Background
Left atrial (LA) function is impaired in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the association between LA longitudinal strain and heart failure (HF) events in patients with HFpEF is still unknown. We evaluated whether LA strain measurements would be useful to predict hospitalizations for worsening HF in this study.
Methods
This study included 121 patients (Male 73, Female 48) with HFpEF who had echocardiogram at our institute (Age = 76 ± 14y, Left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEF = 63 ± 8%). Patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded. LA longitudinal strain was measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography, using TOMTEC imaging system. The endpoints were hospitalizations for worsening HF.
Results
During follow-up period of 319 ± 269 days, 33 patients (27%) experienced hospitalizations for worsening HF. LA strain was markedly lower in patients with HF events at 11.3 ± 5.6, whereas LA strain was higher at 20.3 ± 10.1 in patients without HF events. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a significant separation of survival curves stratified by median value of LA strain (Figure).
Conclusions
LA dysfunction in HFpEF is associated with a higher risk of HF hospitalization, and LA strain measurements would be useful to predict HF events.

Background
Measuring pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is essential for diagnosing pulmonary hypertension. PVR can be estimated from a simple ratio of tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) to time-velocity integral of flow through right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) (Abbas equation), but this relationship has been shown to be unreliable in patients with high PVR. Once PVR is elevated, there is an increased pressure wave reflected from the peripheral of pulmonary artery (PA). We tested the hypothesis that assessing PA wave reflection could be an alternative method for estimating PVR.
Methods
This study recruited 83 patients (69 ± 14 years old, 44 men), including 41 patients with left-sided heart disease, 23 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and 19 patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. PA wave reflection was assessed by separating PA pressure waveform derived from a Doppler tracing of TRV into forward and backward pressure (Pf and Pb), using a velocity profile at RVOT. This separation was based on the concept of wave intensity. PVR was estimated using Abbas equation. Pb and PVR by Abbas equation were compared for the correlations with direct measurement of PVR by right heart catheterisation within 48 hours after echocardiography.
Results
Figure A illustrates Pb and Pf waveforms obtained from a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Pb increased from mid systole and formed a late peak of PA pressure waveform. Pb correlated strongly with PVR by catheter (figure B), whereas PVR by Abbas equation underestimated PVR especially when PVR was high, resulting in a moderate correlation (figure C). Receiver-operator characteristic curves showed a higher accuracy of Pb for identifying PVR > 3WU as well as 6WU, compared with PVR by Abbas equation (figure D and E).
Conclusions
This novel echocardiographic method for assessing PA wave reflection helps diagnose the severity of pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD), women favored coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at 5 years in the SYNTAX trial, whereas mortality rates after PCI and CABG were not different in men. On the other hand, poor outcomes of women undergoing PCI were not observed in the PRECOMBAT and BEST trials.
The long-term optimal revascularization strategy according to gender has not been fully evaluated.
Purpose
In the SYNTAX Extended Survival (SYNTAXES) study, no significant difference existed in all-cause death between PCI and CABG at 10 years. This study aimed to assess treatment effect of PCI and CABG for 10-year all-cause death according to gender.
Methods
The SYNTAXES study evaluated vital status up to 10 years in 1,800 patients with de novo three-vessel disease (3VD) and/or left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) randomized to treatment with CABG or PCI in the SYNTAX trial, and the pre-specified primary endpoint was all-cause death at 10 years. In this prespecified analysis, all-cause death at 10 years according to gender in patients undergoing PCI or CABG was evaluated.
Results
Of 1800 patients, 402 (22.3%) were women and 1398 (77.7%) were men. In women, the rate of mortality was significantly higher in the PCI arm at 5 years than in the CABG arm (19.3% vs. 10.3%; Log-rank p=0.010, Figure A), but the rates of mortality were not different at 10 years between the PCI and CABG arms (33.0% vs. 32.5%; Log-rank p=0.600, Figure A). In men, the mortality rate tended to be higher in the PCI arm at 10 years than in the CABG arm (27.0% vs. 22.5%; Log-rank p=0.082, Figure B), although the mortality rates were not different at 5 years between the PCI and CABG arms (12.4% vs. 12.3%; Log-rank p=0.957, Figure B).
Conclusion
The efficacy of CABG observed at 5 years disappeared at 10 years in women, whereas the efficacy of CABG became apparent after 5 years in men.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary wave reflection, an important loading component on RV, would help better describe right ventricular (RV) – arterial uncouplingin type II pulmonary hypertension (PH).
Methods
This study included 105patients with type II PH (age = 72±13 years old, ejection fraction = 47±21%). Pulmonary wave reflection was characterised by estimating pressure and velocity profiles from Doppler measurement and separating pressure waveform into forward (Pf) and backward pressure (Pb) waves based on the concept of wave intensity. The relationship of RV strain against Pb or pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was compared between patients with and without subsequent event of worsening heart failure, using discriminant analysis.
Results
Sample profiles of pressure waveforms illustrated Pb accounted for a significant proportion of total pressure (figure A). When RV strain was plotted against Pb, the distribution of both group were clearly separated, indicating significant uncoupling in patients with events, whereas when plotted against PASP, the both groups were overlapped (figure B and C).
Conclusions
Pulmonary wave reflection can better describe RV-arterial uncoupling in type II PH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) occurs frequently after both percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and bypass grafting surgery (CABG) in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD), and PMI has been shown to have a detrimental impact on mortality. On the other hand, long-term impact of PMI on mortality has not been fully evaluated.
Purpose
This study aimed to assess the impact of PMI according to SCAI definition on 10-year all-cause death in patients with complex CAD.
Methods
The SYNTAX Extended Survival (SYNTAXES) study evaluated vital status up to 10 years in 1800 patients with de novo three-vessel disease and/or left main coronary artery disease randomized to treatment with CABG or PCI in the SYNTAX trial. Blood was sampled for creatine kinase (CK) pre- and post-revascularisation, and the cardiac specific MB iso-enzyme (CK-MB) was determined only if the CK ratio ≥2 x the upper limit of normal (ULN). If the CK ratio <2 ULN, CK-MB assessment was not mandated. In this analysis, patients with at least one blood sampling within 48 hours of the procedure were included. PMI was defined as follows; peak CK-MB measured within 48 hours of the procedure ≥10 x ULN, or ≥5 x ULN with new Q-waves in 2 contiguous leads or new persistent left bundle branch block.
Results
Of 1800 patients, 1679 (93.2%) patients were included. Of 877 patients treated with PCI, PMI occurred in 26 patients (3.0%), whereas 14 (1.7%) PMIs were observed in 802 patients treated with CABG. Compared with patients without PMI, patients with PMI presented with unstable angina more frequently (45.0% vs. 28.7, p=0.033), and had a higher rate of bifurcation lesion (87.5% vs. 72.5, p=0.046). PMI was associated with a higher all-cause mortality at 10 years compared with no PMI (55.3% vs. 25.4%; Log-rank p<0.001, Figure), which was mainly driven by a high mortality rate within 1 year. In patients undergoing PCI, the mortality rates were significantly higher in patients with PMI not only within 1 year (Log-rank p<0.001) but also beyond one year (Log-rank p=0.016), compare to patients without PMI (Figure). On the other hand, in patients undergoing CABG, a higher mortality rate in patients with PMI was observed until 1 year (Log-rank p<0.001), but the impact of PMI on mortality beyond one year after CABG subsided (Log-rank p=0.308) (Figure 1).
Conclusion
PMI was associated with a poor prognosis at 10 years. The impact of PMI on mortality was strong within one year. Of note, the impact of PMI on mortality persisted beyond 1 year only in patients undergoing PCI. Patients who were treated with PCI and suffered PMI need careful follow-up beyond one year after revascularization.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Evaluation of two-dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking longitudinal strain (LS) is useful for assessing global and regional left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that temporal changes in regional 2D-LS distribution, (i.e., changes in area and intensity of the negative strain), during the systolic period may reflect the LV activation sequence.
Methods
We studied 52 patients with an ejection fraction <35% who were classified into four groups: complete left bundle branch block (LBBB, QRS 162±17 ms, n=17); right ventricular pacing from inferior septum (RVP, QRS 180±29 ms, n=16); left VP from lateral branch of the coronary sinus (LVP, QRS 182±21 ms, n=9); and no conduction block (Narrow QRS, QRS 100±9 ms, n=19). Longitudinal strain was evaluated in three standard apical views, and then bulls-eye distribution maps were constructed every 50 ms from the QRS onset to aortic valve closing (AVC) and at the time of the end of QRS. Segments indicating negative strain at the end of QRS were regarded as an early contraction site. Segments with intensifying negativity of strain as it got closer to the AVC were regarded as a late contraction site.
Results
In patients with LBBB, negative strain appeared initially in the septum region. Then, the contracted area enlarged including the apical region, and the basal lateral region contracted late. On the other hand, Narrow QRS showed a few regional differences in strain at the end of QRS (standard deviation in 17-segments: Narrow QRS 1.3±0.4%*, LBBB 3.3±1.1%, RVP 3.2±1.0%, LVP 3.3±1.1%, *p<0.001), and contracted homogeneously during the systolic period. RVP and LVP showed negative strain at the end of QRS in septum and lateral regions respectively, with the contracted area becoming enlarged towards the opposite regions of the early contracted regions.
Conclusion
The 2D-LS distribution during the systolic period reflects the LV contraction process in patients with an altered ventricular activation sequence, and may have potential for identifying the regions of early activation site and subsequent activation propagation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among elderly men and women worldwide. The aging society worldwide will lead to increasing numbers of elderly patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. Although age is recognized as one of the most important factors in a decision-making for revascularization of multivessel coronary artery disease, the very long-term outcomes in patients undergoing revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is still unclear.
Objectives
The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between revascularization strategies and 10-year outcomes in elderly patients.
Methods
The SYNTAX Extended Survival (SYNTAXES) study (NCT 03417050) is an investigator-driven extension of follow-up of a multicentre, randomised controlled trial done in 85 hospitals across 18 North American and European countries, enrolling 1,800 patients with de novo three-vessel disease (3VD) and/or left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) randomized to revascularization strategy with CABG versus PCI in the SYNTAX trial. Patients were divided into two groups according to the prespecified threshold of 70 years old; elderly patients (>70 years) and non-elderly patients (≤70 years). The primary endpoint of this study was all-cause death at 10 years.
Results
Out of 1,800 patients, 575 patients (31.9%) were classified as elderly (>70 years). The mean age ± standard deviation (SD) of the elderly patients and the non-elderly patients was 75.8±3.6 years and 60.1±7.4 years, respectively. Of note, elderly patients were more frequently female than non-elderly patients (33.6% vs. 17.1%, p<0.001). As expected, the elderly patients had higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease (43.4% vs. 7.9%, p<0.001), had higher anatomical SYNTAX score (30.2±11.8 vs 28.0±11.2 p<0.001) when compared to those of the non-elderly patients.
Up to 10 years, all-cause death occurred in 42.7% and 18.9% in the elderly and non-elderly patients, respectively (Log-rank p<0.001). The cubic spline curve showed an exponentially increase in all-cause death at 10 years according to the increase of age both in the PCI arm and the CABG arm. At 10 years, there was no significant difference in the risk of all-cause death between CABG vs. PCI either in elderly patients (41.5% vs. 44.0%; Log-rank p=0.53) or non-elderly patients (16.6% vs. 21.1%; Log-rank p=0.051).
Conclusion
CABG and PCI were equipoise in terms of risk of all-cause death at 10 years in patients with de novo 3VD and/or LMCAD irrespective of their age when stratified according to the prespecified threshold of 70 years old.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is prevalent and is associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure. The pathophysiology of PH is heterogeneous, including pre-capillary PH and combined pre- and post-capillary PH. The latter PH has been reported in experimental studies to cause wave reflection in pulmonary circulation, putting additional burden on right ventricle. This study tested the hypothesis that separating wave reflection would enhance risk stratification in heart failure.
Methods
This study included 152 patients with clinical stable heart failure associated with PH who were referred to echocardiography for hemodynamic assessment (age = 72 ± 13 years old, ejection fraction = 49 ± 21%). Pulmonary arterial wave reflection was characterised by separating PA pressure waveform into forward (Pf) and backward pressure (Pb) waves, based on the concept of wave intensity. PA pressure waveform was estimated from continuous Doppler tracing of tricuspid regurgitation. Flow velocity was measured by pulse Doppler at right ventricular outflow tract. Outcome data was obtained by reviewing medical charts. The endpoint was hospitalization for worsening heart failure (WHF).
Results
Figure A compares PA pressure waveforms (total and separated waves) obtained from 2 patients with and without WHF event. The patient with event had higher total pressure associated with late peak than the patient without event. Pb appeared later than Pf; it was markedly higher in the patient with event than the patient without event, although Pf was similar between both patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a significant separation of survival curves stratified by Pb (chi-square = 25.1, p < 0.001, figure B). During follow-up period of 1.5 ± 1.8 years, 65 patients (43%) experienced the endpoint. Sequential Cox analysis revealed that PASP remained significant after adjusted for left ventricular ejection fraction and E/e’ (hazard ratio = 1.017, p = 0.019). Pb also remained significant after the same adjustment (hazard ratio = 1.066, p = 0.003); the addition of Pb to a baseline model resulted in greater increase in predictive power than the addition of PASP (model chi-square: from 27.4 (baseline), to 37.6 (p = 0.004) for Pb, to 31.6 (p = 0.027) for PASP, figure C)
Conclusions
Pressure wave reflection in pulmonary artery is associated with early decompensation in heart failure.

Abstract
Abstract
【Background】
Left ventricular aneurysms is complication of myocardial infarction (MI) that can lead to death or serious morbidity. False aneurysm is rare complications of myocardial infarction or iatrogenic perforation and represent a contained myocardial rupture. False aneurysm does not contain all the three layers of the myocardium and is frequently lined by pericardium and mural thrombus. Definitive diagnosis is achieved by echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), angiography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Coexistence of true and false aneurysms is rare.
【Case】 A 58 years old man with a history of hypertension and MI was referred to our hospital for aneurysmectomy. During the course of prior MI, he got fever and pericardial effusion.
CT revealed that three left ventricular aneurysms were present. Also, three aneurysms were connected by narrow ducts each other. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed that three ventricular aneurysms were connected via acceleration blood flow which swirling in the spherical aneurysm. We determined that this triple ventricular aneurysms were at high risk for rupture, so we performed surgery.
The postoperative course was good and he was discharged without any complications.
【Discussion】
False aneurysms occur after hemorrhagic dissection into an area of transmural infarction and most commonly result in free intrapericardial rupture of the heart, cardiac tamponade, and death. Rarely, if the overlying pericardium becomes adherent to the epicardium along the surface of the infarct, it can contain the rupture.
We were able to evaluate the mechanism of development with triple left ventricular aneurysms using CT and TTE. We could know about spatial comprehension of triple aneurysms using CT. False aneurysms were restricted enlargement due to stiff pericardium because of complicating Dressler syndrome. We hypothesis that aneurysms were enlarging in the direction of the base of heart in the adhered pericardium space.
We were able to evaluate the thickness of aneurysms and blood flow condition using TTE. TTE revealed that the wall of aneurysm was fragile. Multimodality imaging like TTE or cardiac CT are useful diagnostic methods in this case.

Abstract
Background
Platypnea–orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is an uncommon condition characterized by positional dyspnea and hypoxemia due to intracardiac right-to-left shunting through a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The most commonly associated conditions included pneumonectomy, ascending aortic dilation, and arch surgery, as previously reported. Percutaneous closure of PFO is useful treatment for POS.
Case
A 76 year old man used home oxygen therapy because of unexplained hypoxemia. A decrease in blood oxygen saturation was observed in sitting and standing positions. The patient was diagnosed as "POS" because a shunt blood flow with PFO and atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) and eustachian valve was observed at transesophageal echocardiography. He was admitted for the purpose of percutaneous PFO closure.
He was treated with intra-cardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance under local anesthesia because of poor lung function.
PFO closure was performed successfully with 30mm AMPLATZER Cribriform. The ICE findings prior to PFO closure showed a right-to-left shunt blood flow through the PFO in the sitting position but almost disappeared after closure. Furthermore, it was observed that the aortic artery compression was stronger in the sitting position than in the supine position with right-to-left shunt blood flow. After PFO closure, hypoxia associated with postural change improved and patient’s symptom as shortness of breath also significantly improved.
Discussion
POS is a position-dependent condition of dyspnea and hypoxemia due to right-to-left shunting. It often remains unrecognized in clinical practice, possibly because of its complex underlying pathophysiology. It is considered that the cause of POS in this patient was multiple factors such as ASA, aortic displacement, and venous valve remnant. In addition, being able to observe the change of the atrium due to compression from the aortic artery using ICE during the operation was very significant to explain the mechanism of POS.

Abstract
Background
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital heart disease with an estimated incidence of 0.008% to 1.46%. The functional status of QAV is predominantly a pure aortic regurgitation. The extensive use of echocardiography has allowed an early and accurate diagnosis of this malformation. In many cases, the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is suitable for the diagnosis but, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), especially 3-dimensional (3D) TEE, is a tool for the accurate definition of the valve anatomy.
Clinical case
A 60-year-old female underwent a head CT for intermittent headaches for one month ago. She was admitted to neurosurgery in our hospital diagnosed of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Four mm aneurysm was found on the periphery of the right middle cerebral artery on CT examination, and a cerebral aneurysm coil embolization was performed with a catheter in emergency. The possibility of infectious cerebral aneurysm was pointed out, and we examined in cardiovascular internal medicine. TTE revealed moderate aortic regurgitation. The ventricular septum exhibits sigmoid septum. A mobile mass was found near the left ventricular outflow tract in the sigmoid septum. TEE revealed a hypoplasia cusp (accessory cusp) is found between non coronary cusp and right coronary cusp. Aortic valve leaflets have become thickened and regurgitation from the central part of the cusps. 3DTEE was able to more accurately visualize that only the accessory cusp was hypoplastic, and the size of the other three leaflets appears almost the same. Similarly, vegetation on the left ventricular outflow tract were clearly revealed by 3DTEE.
Based on the above, it was diagnosed that quadricuspid aortic valve complicated with infective endocarditis (IE) with aortic valve regurgitation. After treatment with antibiotics according to IE, surgical treatment was scheduled.
Discussion
QAV is a rare congenital heart disease, and TTE is an important imaging tool for accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, TEE, especially 3DTEE, was a more appropriate diagnostic method in QAV and IE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) is the standard treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC); however, it causes nausea, vomiting, and anorexia, and requires hydration. Gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) reportedly has equal to, or better, efficacy and an acceptable toxicity profile. We aimed to confirm the non-inferiority of GS to GC for patients with advanced/recurrent BTC in terms of overall survival (OS). PATIENTS AND METHODS We undertook a phase III randomized trial in 33 institutions in Japan. Eligibility criteria included chemotherapy-naïve patients with recurrent or unresectable BTC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0 - 1, and adequate organ function. The calculated sample size was 350 with a one-sided α of 5%, a power of 80%, and non-inferiority margin hazard ratio (HR) of 1.155. The primary end point was OS, while the secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), response rate (RR), adverse events (AEs), and clinically significant AEs defined as grade ≥2 fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, oral mucositis, or diarrhea. RESULTS Between May 2013 and March 2016, 354 patients were enrolled. GS was found to be non-inferior to GC [median OS: 13.4 months with GC and 15.1 months with GS, HR, 0.945; 90% confidence interval (CI), 0.78-1.15; P = 0.046 for non-inferiority]. The median PFS was 5.8 months with GC and 6.8 months with GS (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.70-1.07). The RR was 32.4% with GC and 29.8% with GS. Both treatments were generally well-tolerated. Clinically significant AEs were observed in 35.1% of patients in the GC arm and 29.9% in the GS arm. CONCLUSIONS GS, which does not require hydration, should be considered a new, convenient standard of care option for patients with advanced/recurrent BTC. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER This trial has been registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index.htm), number UMIN000010667.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a well-known predictor of acute heart failure (HF). Congestion volume status estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is also associated with adverse cardiovascular events in HF patients. However, it is unclear whether these biomarkers reflecting pathophysiological pathways are different between HF with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the prognostic value of NT-proBNP and extracellular water/free fat mass (ECW%) assessed by BIA is different between HFrEF and HFpEF in acute HF patients.
Methods and results
One hundred-and-forty-three patients admitted for acute HF between November 2013 and January 2015 were estimated for NT-proBNP levels and ECW% by BIA on admission. A total of 49 HFrEF (LVEF<40%) and 75 HFpEF (LVEF≥50%) patients were included in this study (mean age: 76±14 years, male: 63%). The median of NT-proBNP levels in HFrEF patients was higher than in HFpEF (6022 [IQR: 2531–9163] pg/mL and 3179 [1076–6054] pg/mL, respectively, p=0.012). Conversely, ECW% was similar between HFrEF and HFpEF (29.0 [25.7–33.7] % and 31.7 [27.3–38.8] %, respectively, p=0.088). The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and/or hospitalisation due to HF. During a median follow-up of 5.9 months, 16 (35.6%) and 35 (50.7%) patients were observed to have composite events in HFrEF and HFpEF, respectively, (p=0.111). Elevated NT-proBNP levels in HFrEF patients were associated with an increased risk of composite events after adjustment for traditional risk factors (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.39; 95% Confidence interval [CI]; 1.04–5.47; p=0.040), but not in HFpEF (p=0.063). Meanwhile, a high ECW% in HFrEF patients was associated with increasing composite events risk (HR: 3.30; 95% CI; 1.32–8.25; p=0.011), as well as in HFpEF patients (HR: 1.62; 95% CI; 1.03–2.55; p=0.037). Furthermore, the ECW% in addition to NT-proBNP in HFpEF patients resulted in a significant improvement in prediction for composite events (net reclassification improvement 0.67 [95% CI 0.24–1.11]; p=0.002 and integrated discrimination improvement 0.12 [0.004–0.20]; p=0.004).
Conclusion
Elevated levels of NT-proBNP in acute HF were predictive for mortality and hospitalisation due to HF in HFrEF but may not be for HFpEF patients, and ECW% had a better predictive value than NT-proBNP in HFpEF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
[Background] JBCRG-16 (NeoLath) study is a five-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lapatinib and trastuzumab (6 weeks) followed by lapatinib and trastuzumab plus weekly paclitaxel (12 weeks) with/without prolongation of anti-HER2 therapy prior to chemotherapy (18 vs. 6 weeks), and with/without endocrine therapy in patients with HER2+ and/or estrogen receptor (ER)+ disease. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR) rate and pCR rate was 47.9% (Masuda N, et al. Breast Cancer, 2018). It is recently reported that microRNAs (miRNAs) are stably present in serum and potentially useful in the diagnosis and evaluation of treatment of cancer. We performed exploratory analysis of detecting pCR by comprehensive analysis of serum miRNAs.
[Materials and Methods] Serum samples were obtained from study participants who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy with trastuzumab, lapatinib and paclitaxel. Before profiling of miRNAs, the overall serum samples were randomly devided in two sets, namely the training set and the testing set with pCR or non-pCR. Pathological complete response (pCR) was defined as the absence of residual invasive cancer of the resected breast specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes. Total RNA was extracted from a 300 ul serum sample using 3D-Gene® RNA extraction reagent from a liquid sample kit. A comprehensive quantitative expression analysis of miRNA was performed using the by DNA chip 3D-Gene®, which was designed to detect 2565 miRNA sequences registered in miRBase release 21 (http://www.mirbase.org/). The expression level of miRNAs were normalized by internal control (miR-2861, miR-149-3p and miR-4463). Clinicopathological data was retrieved from trial data.
[Results] A total of 112 samples were obtained. Seventy were used in the training set and others were used in the testing set. Median age was 54 years (range 26-70). Sixty-five (58%) patients were pre-menopausal. ER was positive in 59 patients (52.7%). Fourteen (12.5%) were T1c, 78 (69.6%) were T2 and 20 (17.9%) were T3. Fifty-seven (50.9%) patients were node-positive. Fifty-nine (52.7%) patients achieved pCR. The formula with the combination of three miRNAs (miR-A, miR-B, miR-C) was found to be able to predict pCR. This set had a sensitivity of 62.5%, specificity of 86.7% and accuracy of 71.8% in the testing cohort. Area under curve of receiver operationg characteristic curve was 0.753.
[Conclusion] The combination of three miRNAs has potential to predict pCR in patients who received neoadjuvant combination therapy of trastuzumab, lapatinib and paclitaxel in HER2-positive primary breast cancer. The further analysis of changing expression of miRNAs during neoadjuvant therapy is underway and further results will be presented in the symposium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nivolumab is approved as an option for third- or later-line treatment of advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer in several countries after ATTRACTION-2. To further improve the therapeutic efficacy of first-line therapy, exploration of a nivolumab-chemotherapy combination is warranted. In part 1 (phase II) of ATTRACTION-4, the safety and efficacy of nivolumab combined with S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CapeOX) as first-line therapy for unresectable advanced or recurrent human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative G/GEJ cancer were evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were randomized (1 : 1) to receive nivolumab (360 mg intravenously every 3 weeks) plus SOX (S-1, 40 mg/m2 orally twice daily for 14 days followed by 7 days off; oxaliplatin, 130 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 every 3 weeks) or CapeOX (capecitabine, 1000 mg/m2 orally twice daily for 14 days followed by 7 days off; oxaliplatin, 130 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 every 3 weeks) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. RESULTS Of 40 randomized patients, 39 (nivolumab plus SOX, 21; nivolumab plus CapeOX, 18) and 38 (21 and 17, respectively) comprised the safety and efficacy populations, respectively. Most frequent (>10%) grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia (14.3%) in the nivolumab plus SOX group, and neutropenia (16.7%), anemia, peripheral sensory neuropathy, decreased appetite, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and nausea (11.1% each) in the nivolumab plus CapeOX group. No treatment-related death occurred. Objective response rate was 57.1% (95% confidence interval 34.0-78.2) with nivolumab plus SOX and 76.5% (50.1-93.2) with nivolumab plus CapeOX. Median overall survival was not reached (NR) in both groups. Median progression-free survival was 9.7 months (5.8-NR) and 10.6 months (5.6-12.5), respectively. CONCLUSION Nivolumab combined with SOX/CapeOX was well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging efficacy for unresectable advanced or recurrent HER2-negative G/GEJ cancer. ATTRACTION-4 has proceeded to part 2 (phase III) to compare nivolumab plus SOX/CapeOX versus placebo plus SOX/CapeOX. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV ID NCT02746796.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons resulting in muscle weakness and paralysis. Recently, VGF, a neuropeptide that is a precursor of bioactive polypeptides, was found to be decreased in ALS patients, and its inducer exerted protective effects in models of ALS. These findings suggested that VGF was involved in the pathology of ALS. Here, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of various VGF-derived peptides in an in vitro ALS model. We applied seven VGF-derived peptides (TLQP-21, AQEE-30, AQEE-11, LQEQ-19, QEEL-16, LENY-13, and HVLL-7) to the motor neuron-derived cell line, NSC-34, expressing SOD1G93A, which is one of the mutated proteins responsible for familial ALS. Nuclear staining revealed that AQEE-30 and LQEQ-19, which are derived from the C-terminal polypeptide of the VGF precursor protein, attenuated neuronal cell death. Furthermore, immunoblot analysis demonstrated that LQEQ-19 promoted the phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, and inhibiting these mitogen-activated MAP kinases (MAPKs) with phosphoinositide 3-kinase or MEK/ERK inhibitors, eliminated the neuroprotective effects of LQEQ-19. In conclusion, these results suggest that VGF C-terminal peptides exert their neuroprotective effects via activation of MAPKs such as Akt and ERK1/2. Furthermore, these findings indicate that VGF-derived peptides have potential application in ALS therapy.
