Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the long-term prognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA)-derived plaque information on major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS In all, 64 patients with diabetes (63.3±10.1 y, 66% male) and suspected coronary artery disease who underwent cCTA were matched with 297 patients without diabetes according to age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors, and statin and antithrombotic therapy. MACE were recorded. cCTA-derived risk scores and plaque measures were assessed. The discriminatory power to identify MACE was evaluated using multivariable regression analysis and concordance indices. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 5.4 years, MACE occurred in 31 patients (8.6%). In patients with diabetes, cCTA risk scores and plaque measures were significantly higher compared with nondiabetic patients (all P <0.05). The following plaque measures were predictors of MACE using multivariable Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio [HR]) in patients with diabetes: segment stenosis score (HR=1.20, P <0.001), low-attenuation plaque (HR=3.47, P =0.05), and in nondiabetic patients: segment stenosis score (HR=1.92, P <0.001), Agatston score (HR=1.0009, P =0.04), and low-attenuation plaque (HR=4.15, P =0.04). A multivariable model showed a significantly improved C-index of 0.96 (95% confidence interval: 0.94-0.0.97) for MACE prediction, when compared with single measures alone. CONCLUSION Diabetes is associated with a significantly higher extent of coronary artery disease and plaque features, which have independent predictive values for MACE. cCTA-derived plaque information portends improved risk stratification of patients with diabetes beyond the assessment of obstructive stenosis on cCTA alone with subsequent impact on individualized treatment decision-making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Even among biomarker-negative patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), periprocedural thrombotic and bleeding complications can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Whether stronger platelet inhibition by an intensified oral loading strategy (ILS) before PCI impacts on outcomes among these patients in contemporary practice remains unclear. METHODS This multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded trial tested the hypothesis that in elective PCI prasugrel 60 mg (ILS) is superior to standard loading strategy with clopidogrel 600 mg regarding a composite primary end point of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, definite/probable stent thrombosis, stroke, or urgent vessel revascularization. After PCI, all patients were on clopidogrel 75 mg/day and aspirin. The trial was terminated prematurely because of slower-than-expected recruitment and funding discontinuation. RESULTS Of 781 patients included in the final analysis, 382 were assigned to ILS and 399 to standard loading strategy. At 30 days, the primary end point occurred in 66 patients (17.3%) assigned to ILS and 74 patients (18.6%) assigned to standard loading strategy (odds ratio, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.63-1.32]; P=0.64). Any myocardial infarction and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium ≥2 bleeding rates were similar among ILS and standard loading strategy groups 16.2% versus 17.5%, odds ratio, 0.91 (95% CI, 0.62-1.32), P=0.62 and 4.2% versus 4.8%, odds ratio 0.87 (95% CI, 0.44-1.73), P=0.70, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In biomarker-negative stable and unstable angina patients undergoing elective PCI, the trial did not find a conclusive difference in efficacy or safety. This observation should be interpreted in the context of wide CIs and premature termination of the trial. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02548611.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
According to current recommendations, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) should only be performed among patients with a life expectancy of at least one year. However, many deaths occur within the first year after TAVI.
Purpose
To assess the causes of death within one year after TAVI.
Methods
Data was taken between November 2007 and December 2017 from the EVERY-TAVI registry. Patients who died during TAVI or experienced mechanical complications requiring surgery were excluded from the analysis. We assessed the causes of death over 3 periods post-TAVI: within the first 30 days, between 30 and 90 days, and between 90 and 365 days.
Results
Overall, 2389 patients underwent TAVI without mechanical complications. Among them, 320 (1.3%) died within one year. Age was the main cause of death, accounting for 73 deaths (22.8%), followed by heart failure (20.6%) and infections (18.7%). During the first month, cardiogenic shock was the main cause of death (25.4%), followed by infections (22.2%) and terminal heart failure (20.6%), while age was responsible of only one death (1.6%). During the two following months, heart failure was the main cause of death (33.3%), followed by infections (21.2%), and the percentage of deaths due to age increased to 18.2%. After 3 months, age was the main cause of death (31.4%), followed by infection (16.8%) and heart failure (16.2%).
Causes of death within one year of TAVI Cause of death All (n=320) <30 days (n=63) 30–90 days (n=66) >90 days (n=191) Older age, n (%) 73 (22.8) 1 (1.6) 12 (18.2) 60 (31.4) Terminal heart failure, n (%) 66 (20.6) 13 (20.6) 22 (33.3) 31 (16.2) Infection, n (%) 60 (18.7) 14 (22.2) 14 (21.2) 32 (16.8) Terminal renal failure, n (%) 26 (8.1) 4 (6.3) 5 (7.6) 17 (8.9) Cardiogenic shock, n (%) 26 (8.1) 16 (25.4) 4 (6.1) 6 (3.1) Malignancies, n (%) 18 (5.6) 0 (0.0) 2 (3.0) 16 (8.4) Sudden death, n (%) 17 (5.3) 6 (9.5) 2 (3.0) 9 (4.7) Stroke, n (%) 12 (3.7) 4 (6.3) 2 (3.0) 6 (3.1) Accident, n (%) 7 (2.2) 2 (3.2) 0 (0.0) 5 (2.6) Myocardial infarction, n (%) 7 (2.2) 2 (3.2) 2 (3.0) 3 (1.6) Non-cardiac surgery, n (%) 5 (1.6) 1 (1.6) 1 (1.5) 3 (1.6) Pulmonary embolism, n (%) 3 (0.9) 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0) 3 (1.6)
Conclusion
Cardiogenic shock is the main cause within the first month after TAVI, while older age is the main cause overall and after the initial months, highlighting the need to more carefully selection of patients undergoing TAVI.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate and compare outcomes 2 years after Hybrid-stenting with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) and contemporary metallic drug-eluting stents (DES) within the same coronary lesion versus BVS alone. METHODS Between 11/2012 and 7/2015 at our institution, 134 (33.2%) were treated with Hybrid-stenting for complex or long coronary lesions, 270 patients were treated by BVS alone. The primary outcome of interest was target lesion failure (TLF) at 2-years of follow-up. RESULTS Patients treated by Hybrid-stenting were more frequently men (80% vs. 70%, p = 0.04) had extensive multivessel disease (84% vs. 71%, p < 0.01) including more complex (89% vs. 52%, p < 0.01) and longer lesions (28.9 mm vs 16.4 ± mm, p < 0.01) resulting in longer treated segments (47.3 mm vs 21.5 mm, p < 0.01) and more residual in-segment stenosis (12.3% vs 8.5%, p < 0.01) compared to BVS alone patients. At 2 years, cumulative incidence of TLF was 9.7% of Hybrid-stenting patients and 11.5% of BVS alone patients (p = 0.62), myocardial infarction (3.0% vs 4.1%, p = 0.59) and mortality (1.5% vs 4.1%, p = 0.17), respectively. Target lesion revascularization occurred in 9 Hybrid-stenting patients (2 located in DES) and in 20 BVS alone patients, cumulative incidence 6.7% vs. 7.4% (p = 0.80). Chronic kidney disease and residual in-segment stenosis >30% were identified as independent predictors of TLF at 2-years. CONCLUSION Despite differences in clinical and angiographic profile, Hybrid-stenting performed similar to BVS alone at 2 years after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
Beyond thromboembolic events, peri-procedural bleeding remains one of the most frequent complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The majority of TAVI patients receive a dual anti-platelet treatment (DAPT) regimen. This analysis from the EVERY-TAVI register database aimed to analyse whether the level of on-treatment adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet reactivity predicts early outcomes at 30 days after TAVI. A total of 146 consecutive TAVI patients on DAPT who underwent platelet function testing with the Multiplate analyser were included here. Definition of bleeding events was done according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2) classification. In our cohort, a status of low platelet reactivity (LPR, ≤ 18 units) was observed in 79 patients (54%), while high platelet reactivity (HPR, ≥ 46 units) was present in 18 patients (12%). At 30-day follow-up, the incidence of VARC-2 bleeds was 45.6% (n = 36) in LPR patients and 23.9% (n = 16) in patients without LPR (hazard ratio [HR] 2.10, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-3.79; p = 0.01). In age-adjusted multivariate analysis, a status of LPR was independently associated with VARC-2 bleeding events (HRadj, 2.06, 95% CI, 1.14-3.71; p = 0.02). HPR was not associated with the 30-day risk of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction (p ≥ 0.43). In summary, presence of LPR was associated with bleeding events in patients undergoing TAVI while presence of HPR was not associated with ischaemic outcomes at 30 days. The value of platelet function testing for bleeding risk prediction and for a possible guidance of anti-thrombotic treatment in the elderly TAVI population warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical relevant cerebrovascular events (CVE) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) still remain a devastating complication associated with mortality and severe impairments. Therefore, identification of particularly modifiable predictors of this complication is clinically relevant and an important step for planning preventive strategies. METHODS A total of 985 patients who underwent trans-femoral TAVI for aortic valve stenosis in our institution from February 2008 to January 2015 were considered. The influence of demographics, clinical and procedural data on the occurrence of CVE was assessed with a competing risk model with death as competing event. Clinical events were defined according to VARC-2 criteria. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 838days, 95% CI 807-892, 59 patients experienced any CVE (5.9%) and the overall cumulative mortality rate was 46.1%. CVEs mainly occur later than 30days after TAVI (47.5%), 88.1% of them were of ischemic origin and 52.5% were disabling events. Independent predictors of CVEs were age (hazard ratio 1.05; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.09), history of CVE (hazard ratio 2.54; 95% CI 1.39 to 4.63) and use of balloon post-dilation (hazard ratio 1.85; 95% CI 1.08 to 3.18). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing TAVI incidence of clinically relevant CVEs is frequent with half of the events occurring after the first 30days post-TAVI. Identification of balloon post-dilation as the only modifiable predictor of CVE risk at mid-term, urges its cautious performance after prosthesis implantation. CLINICALTRIALS.

Abstract
This study investigated the performance of coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) with cCTA-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with fractional flow reserve (FFR) for therapeutic decision making in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Seventy-four patients (62 ± 11 years, 62% men) with at least 1 coronary stenosis of ≥50% on clinically indicated dual-source cCTA, who had subsequently undergone ICA with FFR measurement, were retrospectively evaluated. CT-FFR values were computed using an on-site machine-learning algorithm to assess the functional significance of CAD. The therapeutic strategy (optimal medical therapy alone vs revascularization) and the appropriate revascularization procedure (percutaneous coronary intervention vs coronary artery bypass grafting) were selected using cCTA-CT-FFR. Thirty-six patients (49%) had a functionally significant CAD based on ICA-FFR. cCTA-CT-FFR correctly identified a functionally significant CAD and the need of revascularization in 35 of 36 patients (97%). When revascularization was deemed indicated, the same revascularization procedure (32 percutaneous coronary interventions and 3 coronary artery bypass grafting) was chosen in 35 of 35 patients (100%). Overall, identical management strategies were selected in 73 of the 74 patients (99%). cCTA-CT-FFR shows excellent performance to identify patients with and without the need for revascularization and to select the appropriate revascularization strategy. cCTA-CT-FFR as a noninvasive "one-stop shop" has the potential to change diagnostic workflows and to directly inform therapeutic decision making in patients with suspected CAD.

Abstract
This study investigated the discriminatory value of quantitative atherosclerotic plaque markers derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) in patients with first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) compared with patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Forty patients (56.9 ± 9.3 years, 55% men) admitted with their first ACS and Framingham risk score-matched controls with stable CAD were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had undergone cCTA followed by invasive coronary angiography. Total plaque volume, calcified and noncalcified plaque volumes, plaque burden (in %), remodeling index, lesion length, presence of napkin-ring sign, segment involvement score, and segment stenosis score were derived from cCTA and compared between both groups on a per-lesion and per-patient level. Patients with ACS showed a significant higher number of obstructive CAD and higher values for segment stenosis score, segment involvement score, noncalcified plaque volume, lesion length, and remodeling index than the stable angina group (all p <0.05). On a per-lesion level, culprit lesions had significantly higher values for plaque burden, total plaque volume, noncalcified plaque volume, remodeling index, lesion length, and prevalence of napkin-ring sign in comparison to nonculprit lesions (all p <0.05). On receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, a stepwise model demonstrated incremental discriminatory power for identifying ACS both per-patient (area under the curve 0.92, p <0.0001) as well as per-lesion (area under the curve 0.88, p <0.0001). cCTA-derived culprit plaque markers show discriminatory value both on a per-patient and per-lesion level. A combination of markers added to the Framingham risk score yields the greatest discriminatory ability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate quantitative markers derived from coronary CT angiography (coronary CTA) performed prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement for predicting in-stent restenosis (ISR) as defined by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 74 patients (60 ± 12 years, 72% male) who had undergone dual-source coronary CTA within 3 months prior to a PCI procedure that included stent placement. Quantitative markers of the target vessel were derived from coronary CTA: Total plaque volume (TPV), calcified and non-calcified plaque volumes (CPV and NCPV), plaque burden (PB in %), remodeling index (RI), and lesion length (LL). Marker performance for predicting ISR, as defined by QCA at follow-up, was assessed. RESULTS Twenty-one of 74 stented lesions showed ISR on follow-up (mean 616 ± 447 days). When comparing stent length and LL in patients with ISR, a trend towards less complete stent coverage of the target lesion was observed in cases with ISR (17/21 vs. 4/53 cases, p = 0.07). In multivariate analysis (corrected for dyslipidemia), the following markers showed predictive value for ISR (odds ratio [OR]): NCPV (OR 1.08, p = 0.045), LL (OR 1.38, p = 0.0024), and RI (OR 1.13, p = 0.0019). Sensitivity and specificity for ISR were: NCPV 65% and 80%, LL 74% and 74%, and RI 71% and 78%. At receiver-operating characteristics analysis, NCPV (0.72, p = 0.001), LL (0.77, p < 0.0001), and RI (0.79, p < 0.0001) showed discriminatory power for predicting ISR. A combination of these markers showed incremental predictive value (AUC 0.89, p < 0.0001) with sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 84%, respectively. CONCLUSION Coronary CTA-derived NCPV, LL, and RI portend predictive value for ISR with incremental predictive value when combining these parameters.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of patients who had undergone both dual-source CCTA and invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement within 3 months were retrospectively analyzed. Various quantitative stenosis markers were derived from CCTA: Corrected coronary opacification (CCO), transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG), remodeling index (RI), computational FFR (cFFR), lesion length (LL), vessel volume (VV), total plaque volume (TPV), and calcified and non-calcified plaque volume (CPV and NCPV). Discriminatory power of these markers for flow-limiting versus non-significant coronary stenosis was assessed against invasive FFR as the reference standard. RESULTS The cohort included 37 patients (61 ± 12 years, 68% male). Among 37 lesions, 11 were hemodynamically significant by FFR. On a per-lesion level, sensitivity and specificity of TPV, CPV, and NCPV for hemodynamically significant stenosis detection were 88% and 74%, 67% and 53%, and 92% and 81%, respectively. For CCO, TAG, RI, and cFFR these were 64% and 86%, 35% and 56%, 82% and 54%, and 100% and 90%, respectively. At ROC analysis, only TPV (0.78, p = 0.013), NCPV (0.79, p = 0.009), cFFR (0.85, p = 0.003), and CCO (0.82, p = 0.0003) showed discriminatory power for detecting hemodynamically significant stenosis. CONCLUSION TPV, NCPV, CCO, and cFFR derived from CCTA can aid detecting hemodynamically significant coronary lesions with cFFR showing the greatest discriminatory ability.
