- BACKGROUND: WE AIM TO STUDY THE CLINICAL AND PROCEDURAL CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER RADIATION EXPOSURE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONS (PCIS) AND CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY.METHODS AND RESULTS: OUR PRESENT STUDY INCLUDED ALL CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY AND PCI PROCEDURES IN 5 PCI CENTERS IN THE WESTERN PART OF SWEDEN, BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 2008, AND JANUARY 19, 2012. THE RADIATION EXPOSURE AND CLINICAL DATA WERE COLLECTED PROSPECTIVELY IN THESE 5 PCI CENTERS IN SWEDEN AS PART OF THE SWEDISH CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY AND ANGIOPLASTY REGISTRY (SCAAR). A PREDICTION MODEL WAS MADE FOR THE RADIATION EXPOSURE (DOSEAREA PRODUCT) EXPRESSED IN GYCM(2). A TOTAL OF 20 669 PROCEDURES WERE INCLUDED IN THE PRESENT STUDY, CONSISTING OF 9850 PCI AND 10 819 CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY PROCEDURES. IN MULTIVARIABLE ANALYSES, BODY MASS INDEX (=1.04; CONFIDENCE INTERVAL [CI], 1.041.04; P0.001); HISTORY OF CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY (=1.32; CI, 1.281.32; P0.001); 2, 3, OR 4 TREATED LESIONS (2 TREATED LESIONS: =1.95; CI, 1.842.03; P0.001; 3 TREATED LESIONS: =2.34; CI, 2.162.53; P0.001; AND 4 TREATED LESIONS: =2.83; CI, 2.533.16; P0.001); AND CHRONIC TOTAL OCCLUSION LESIONS (=1.39; CI, 1.311.48; P0.001) WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGHEST RADIATION EXPOSURE. AFTER ADJUSTING FOR PROCEDURAL COMPLEXITY, RADIAL ACCESS ROUTE WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RADIATION EXPOSURE (=1.00; CI, 0.981.03; P=0.67).CONCLUSIONS: In the largest study population to assess radiation exposure, we found that high body mass index, history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery, number of treated lesions, and chronic total occlusions were associated with the highest patient radiation exposure. Radial access site was not associated with higher radiation exposure when compared with femoral approach.

- Background The comparative efficacy of various anticoagulation strategies has not been clearly established in patients with acute myocardial infarction who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) according to current practice, which includes the use of radial-artery access for PCI and administration of potent P2Y12 inhibitors without the planned use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. Methods In this multicenter, randomized, registry-based, open-label clinical trial, we enrolled patients with either ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-STEMI (NSTEMI) who were undergoing PCI and receiving treatment with a potent P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor, prasugrel, or cangrelor) without the planned use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. The patients were randomly assigned to receive bivalirudin or heparin during PCI, which was performed predominantly with the use of radial-artery access. The primary end point was a composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or major bleeding during 180 days of follow-up. Results A total of 6006 patients (3005 with STEMI and 3001 with NSTEMI) were enrolled in the trial. At 180 days, a primary end-point event had occurred in 12.3% of the patients (369 of 3004) in the bivalirudin group and in 12.8% (383 of 3002) in the heparin group (hazard ratio, 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83 to 1.10; P=0.54). The results were consistent between patients with STEMI and those with NSTEMI and across other major subgroups. Myocardial infarction occurred in 2.0% of the patients in the bivalirudin group and in 2.4% in the heparin group (hazard ratio, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.60 to 1.19; P=0.33), major bleeding in 8.6% and 8.6%, respectively (hazard ratio, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.19; P=0.98), definite stent thrombosis in 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.27 to 1.10; P=0.09), and death in 2.9% and 2.8%, respectively (hazard ratio, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.78 to 1.41; P=0.76). Conclusions Among patients undergoing PCI for myocardial infarction, the rate of the composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or major bleeding was not lower among those who received bivalirudin than among those who received heparin monotherapy.

- BACKGROUND: The registry-based randomized VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART trial (NCT02311231) compared bivalirudin vs. heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for myocardial infarction (MI). It showed no difference in the composite primary endpoint of death, MI, or major bleeding at 180 days. Here, we report outcomes at two years.METHODS: Analysis of primary and secondary endpoints at two years of follow-up was prespecified in the study protocol. We report the study results for the extended follow-up time here.RESULTS: In total, 6006 patients were enrolled, 3005 with ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) and 3001 with Non-STEMI (NSTEMI), representing 70 % of all eligible patients with these diagnoses during the study. The primary endpoint occurred in 14.0 % (421 of 3004) in the bivalirudin group compared with 14.3 % (429 of 3002) in the heparin group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.97; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.85-1.11; P = 0.70) at one year and in 16.7 % (503 of 3004) compared with 17.1 % (514 of 3002), (HR 0.97; 95 % CI, 0.96-1.10; P = 0.66) at two years. The results were consistent in patients with STEMI and NSTEMI and across major subgroups.CONCLUSIONS: Until the two-year follow-up, there were no differences in endpoints between patients with MI undergoing PCI and allocated to bivalirudin compared with those allocated to heparin.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.

- AIM: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for more than half of all deaths from coronary heart disease. Time to return of spontaneous circulation is the most important determinant of outcome but successful resuscitation also requires percutaneous coronary intervention in selected patients. However, proper selection of patients is difficult. We describe data on angiographic finding and survival from a prospectively followed SCA patient cohort.METHODS: We merged the RIKS-HIA registry (Register of Information and Knowledge about Swedish Heart Intensive Care Admissions) and SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry) for patients hospitalized in cardiac care units in Western Sweden between January 2005 and March 2013. We performed propensity score-adjusted logistic and Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses on complete-case data as well as on imputed data sets.RESULTS: 638 consecutive patients underwent coronary angiography due to SCA. Severity of coronary artery disease was similar among SCA patients and patients undergoing coronary angiography due to suspected coronary artery disease (n=37,142). An acute occlusion was reported in the majority of SCA patients and was present in 37% of patients who did not have ST-elevation on the post resuscitation ECG. 31% of SCA patients died within 30 days. Long-term risk of death among patients who survived the first 30 days was higher in patients with SCA compared to patients with acute coronary syndromes (P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Coronary artery disease and acute coronary occlusions are common among patients who undergo coronary angiography after sudden cardiac arrest. These patients have a substantial mortality risk both short- and long-term.
