BACKGROUND: The prognosis of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if previous PCI in patients with STEMI increases the risk of major cardiovascular events, and if final epicardial blood flow differs according to the reperfusion strategy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational, longitudinal, comparative sub-study of the PHASE-MX trial that included patients with STEMI and reperfusion within 12 hours of symptom onset, who were classified according to their history of PCI...

BACKGROUND: Free fatty acids (FFAs) are established risk factors for various cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Elevated FFAs can trigger inflammatory response, which may be associated with the occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in cardiac surgery. In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate the association between circulating FFA and the incidence of ARDS, as well as the length of ICU stay, in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)...

BACKGROUND: A lesion-level risk prediction for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) needs better characterization. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to investigate the additive value of artificial intelligence-enabled quantitative coronary plaque and hemodynamic analysis (AI-QCPHA). METHODS: Among ACS patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) from 1 month to 3 years before the ACS event, culprit and nonculprit lesions on coronary CTA were adjudicated based on invasive coronary angiography...

Surgical revascularization and coronary artery bypass grafting are often pursued as treatment for obstructive coronary artery disease. Despite trends of increased referrals for complex percutaneous coronary intervention, surgical revascularization often remains the standard of care for patients with multivessel or complex coronary artery disease. Myocardial ischemia during the perioperative and postoperative periods during coronary artery bypass grafting remains a challenge. Nuanced consideration is necessary to decide on interventions that include conservative management and percutaneous or repeat surgical revascularization...

The 2023 European Bifurcation Club (EBC) meeting took place in Warsaw in October, and the latest evidence for the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to optimise percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) on coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) was a major focus. The topic generated deep discussions and general appraisal on the potential benefits of IVUS and OCT in PCI procedures. Nevertheless, despite an increasing recognition of IVUS and OCT capabilities and their recognised central role for guidance in complex CBL and left main PCI, it is expected that angiography will continue to be the primary guidance modality for CBL PCI, principally due to educational and economic barriers...

The Gt(ROSA)26Sor ( ROSA26 ) and H11 loci are commonly used as safe harbors for the construction of targeted transgenic mice. However, it remains unclear whether these two loci have distinct effects on transgene expression. In this study, we insert three differently colored fluorescent protein expression cassettes (EGFP, tdTomato and mTagBFP2) driven by the CAG promoter into the ROSA26 and H11 loci. We generate five single-transgenic mouse models and a triple-transgenic mouse model expressing three distinct fluorescent proteins simultaneously...

Pulmonary embolism (PE) constitutes a substantial health burden among individuals in the United States. It ranks as the third most common cause of cardiovascular death aside from stroke and myocardial infarction. Diagnostic errors are common with PE as patients can present with non-specific symptoms or could be completely asymptomatic with PE being an incidental finding. Diagnostic errors can result in missed or late diagnosis of PE, which, in turn, increases health care costs, morbidity, and mortality rates...

BACKGROUND: Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is utilized to reduce thrombus in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the feasibility and safety of ELCA for patients with ACS involving the left main trunk (LMT) and bifurcation, as well as the safety of a stentless strategy with ELCA, are not well-documented. CASE SUMMARY: A 37-year-old man without any past medical history presented with chest pain. Electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in leads I, aVL, and V2-V6...

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to analyze the diagnostic value of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in detecting inducible myocardial ischemia in patients with chest pain undergoing treadmill contrast-enhanced stress echocardiography (SE). METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled all patients who underwent invasive coronary angiography after treadmill contrast-enhanced SE. Rest and peak-stress myocardial GLS, segmental LS, and LS of 4-chamber (CH), 2-CH, and 3-CH views were reported...

BACKGROUND: Primary coronary slow flow (CSF) is defined as delayed opacification of the distal epicardial vasculature during coronary angiography in the absence of relevant coronary artery stenoses. Microvascular disease is thought to be the underlying cause of this pathology. Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) is an active endocrine organ directly surrounding the coronary arteries that provides pro-inflammatory factors to the adjacent tissue by paracrine and vasocrine mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to investigate a potential association between EFT and primary CSF and whether EFT can predict the presence of primary CSF...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for the survival of cardiac arrest patients, but it can cause severe traumatic complications. In the catheterization laboratory, various physical constraints complicate the appropriate performance of CPR. However, we are not aware of reports of CPR complications in this setting. Here, we report a case of coronary artery perforation (CAP) caused by manual CPR in the catheterization laboratory. The patient, a 68-year-old woman, initially underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unstable angina...

A 55-year-old man presented to the emergency department with worsening shortness of breath 1 month after a gastrointestinal bleed. He had congestive heart failure, and an electrocardiogram suggested ischemic heart disease involvement. Echocardiography revealed a ventricular septal defect complicated by a left ventricular aneurysm in the inferior-posterior wall. Conservative treatment was started, but hemodynamic collapse occurred on the third day of admission and coronary angiography revealed a revascularizing lesion in the right fourth posterior descending coronary artery...

BACKGROUND: Unintended deformation of implanted coronary stents can lead to loss of coronary access, stent thrombosis and coronary events during follow-up. The incidence, mechanisms and clinical outcomes of unintended stent deformations (USD) during complex bifurcation stenting are not well characterized. OBJECTIVES: In a prespecified analysis of the OCTOBER (European Trial on Optical Coherence Tomography Optimized Bifurcation Event Reduction) trial, we aimed to: 1) determine the incidence and characterize mechanisms of USD identified by optical coherence tomography (OCT); and 2) evaluate physician's detection and correction of accidental abluminal rewiring and USD...

BACKGROUND: Invasive CFT is the gold standard for diagnosing coronary vasomotor dysfunction in patients with ANOCA. Most institutions recommend only testing the left coronary circulation. Therefore, it is unknown whether testing multiple coronary territories would increase diagnostic yield. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield of multivessel, compared with single-vessel, invasive coronary function testing (CFT) in patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA)...

We present two cases which underwent complex ocular surface reconstruction to achieve a stable ocular surface. Conjunctival autograft (CAG) procedure was required more than once, in addition to simple limbal epithelial transplantation to address extensive symblepharon in the eyes with total unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency secondary to acid ocular burns. These cases demonstrate that multiple CAGs may be harvested from the contralateral unaffected eye to correct recurrent symblepharon without any donor site complications if the correct surgical technique is adopted...
