Frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) is a novel, high resolution intravascular imaging modality. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) widely used conventional modality for achieving optimal stent deployment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact FD-OCT guidance coronary implantation compared with IVUS guidance.A total 70 patients de novo artery lesions and either unstable or stable angina pectoris were enrolled in randomized (optical [OCT] group: n=35, n=35). In OCT...
Background: It is unknown whether the direct oral anticoagulant edoxaban can reduce leaflet thrombosis and accompanying cerebral thromboembolic risk after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. In addition, causal relationship of subclinical with thromboembolism neurological or neurocognitive dysfunction remains unclear. Methods: We conducted a multicenter, open-label randomized trial comparing dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) in patients who had undergone successful...
Abstract Aims Sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization (HFH). However, the efficacy safety of SGLT2 elderly patients with poor general status, such as very low bodyweight or nutritional who are not included randomized controlled trials, has yet been examined. In a real‐world setting, introduction to is difficult decision make. We therefore examined these drugs setting. Methods...
Abstract Prognostic impact of anemia complicating severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains unclear. We assessed the on cardiovascular and bleeding outcomes in 3403 patients enrolled CURRENT AS registry. 835 (25%) had mild (hemoglobin 11.0–12.9 g/dl for men/11.0–11.9 women) 1282 (38%) moderate/severe (Hb ≤ 10.9 g/dl) at diagnosis AS. Mild were associated with significantly increased risks relative to no ≥13.0 men/≥12.0 primary outcome measure (aortic valve-related death or heart failure...
Background Data are still limited regarding whether there differential long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention versus artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main disease with or without diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods and Results Using the 10-year data from MAIN-COMPARE (Revascularization Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Stenosis: Comparison of Percutaneous Angioplasty Versus Surgical Revascularization) registry, we sought to examine effect DM on comparative CABG in...
Background Data are scarce on the role of aortic valve area (AVA) to identify those patients with asymptomatic severe stenosis (AS) who at high risk adverse events. We sought explore prognostic impact AVA in AS a large observational database. Methods and Results Among 3815 consecutive enrolled CURRENT (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery Medical Treatment Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis) registry, present study included 1309 conservatively managed left ventricular ejection fraction...
A high permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) risk remains a concern of self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation, despite the continued improvements in methodology. We aimed to assess impact real-time direct visualization membranous septum using transjugular intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) during on reducing rates conduction disturbances including need for PPI.
Abstract Aims This study aimed to assess the impact of valvular/subvalvular calcium burden on procedural and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe stenosis (AS). Methods results In this prospective observational cohort study, we included with AS TAVR between March 2010 December 2019. Calcium at baseline was quantified using multidetector computed tomography were classified into tertile groups according amount calcium. Procedural...
In the Asian cohort, data are limited on risk for coronary obstruction due to sinus of Valsalva (SOV) sequestration in redo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures.
It is still uncertain whether the final kissing balloon technique (FKBT) mandatory after crossover stenting for left main coronary artery (LMCA). Assessing Optimal Percutaneous Coronary Intervention LMCA (AOI-LMCA) registry, a 6-center retrospective enrolled 1809 consecutive patients in Japan. In present analysis, 5-year clinical outcomes were compared between non-FKBT (n = 160) and FKBT 578) groups treated with drug-eluting stents from to anterior descending artery. Propensity score-matched...
