    Abstract: This study sought to investigate the safety of 3‐month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients receiving ultrathin sirolimus‐eluting stents with biodegradable polymer (Orsiro). Methods and Results The SMART‐CHOICE (Smart Angioplasty Research Team: Comparison Between P2Y12 Antagonist Monotherapy vs Dual Anti‐ platelet Therapy in Patients Undergoing Implantation of Coronary Drug‐Eluting Stents) randomized trial compared 3‐month DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy with 12‐month DAPT in 2993 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The present analysis was a prespecified subgroup analysis for patients receiving Orsiro stents. As a post hoc analysis, comparisons between Orsiro and everolimus‐eluting stents were also done among patients receiving 3‐month DAPT. Of 972 patients receiving Orsiro stents, 481 patients were randomly assigned to 3‐month DAPT and 491 to 12‐month DAPT. At 12 months, the target vessel failure, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel–related myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization, occurred in 8 patients (1.7%) in the 3‐month DAPT group and in 14 patients (2.9%) in the 12‐month DAPT group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.58; 95% CI, 0.24–1.39; P =0.22). In whole population who were randomly assigned to receive 3‐month DAPT (n=1495), there was no significant difference in the target vessel failure between the Orsiro group and the everolimus‐eluting stent group (n=1014) (1.7% versus 1.8%; HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.41–2.22; P =0.92). Conclusions In patients receiving Orsiro stents, clinical outcomes at 1 year were similar between the 3‐month DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy and 12‐month DAPT strategies. With 3‐month DAPT, there was no significant difference in target vessel failure between Orsiro and everolimus‐eluting stents.

    Abstract: Procedural and clinical outcomes still remain unfavorable for patients with long coronary lesions who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. The current study, therefore, evaluated 2 innovative drug-eluting stents for the management of long-lesion coronary artery disease. Methods and Results— This randomized, multicenter, prospective trial, called the Long Drug-Eluting Stent (LONG-DES) V trial, compared the biodegradable polymer–based biolimus A9–eluting stent (BES) and the durable polymer–based platinum chromium everolimus-eluting stent (PtCr-EES) in 500 patients with long (≥25 mm) coronary lesions. The primary end point of the trial was in-segment late luminal loss at the 9-month angiographic follow-up. The BES and PtCr-EES groups had similar baseline characteristics, with a slightly shorter lesion length in the BES group versus the PtCr-EES group (29.24±12.17 versus 32.27±13.84 mm; P =0.016). In-segment late luminal loss was comparable between the 2 groups at the 9-month angiographic follow-up (BES, 0.14±0.38 versus PtCr-EES, 0.11±0.37 mm; difference, 0.031; 95% confidence interval, −0.053 to 0.091; P =0.03 for a noninferiority margin of 0.11, P =0.45 for superiority), as was in-stent late luminal loss (0.20±0.41 versus 0.24±0.38 mm; P =0.29). The incidence of in-segment (6.1% versus 4.9%; P =0.63) and in-stent (3.7% versus 4.9%; P =0.59) binary restenosis was also similar between the groups. There was no significant between-group difference in the rate of composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization (41, 16.7% in BES versus 42, 16.5% in PtCr-EES; P =0.94). Conclusions— BES and PtCr-EES implantation showed analogous angiographic and clinical outcomes for patients with de novo long coronary lesions.

    Abstract: It is important to manage inflammation after craniotomy. It may be prudent to reduce the excessive usage of antibiotics and to add supplementary treatments like acupuncture, which would be effective and safe. However, there are only a few studies available to date on the effects of acupuncture on anti-inflammatory response after craniotomy. The aim of this study was to explore the anti-inflammatory effects of acupuncture in patients after a craniotomy. Methods: This study was a single-center, prospective, open-label, controlled trial. Forty-four subjects who underwent craniotomy for an unruptured aneurysm, facial spasm, or brain tumor were allocated to either an acupuncture group or a control group. Both groups received postoperative routine care in the Department of Neurosurgery. The subjects in the acupuncture group also received a total of 6 acupuncture treatments sessions within 8 days after craniotomy. Acupuncture treatments included acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and intradermal acupuncture. The serum interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels were assessed four times within 7 days after surgery. The presence of fever, use of additional antibiotics, presence of infection including pneumonia or urinary tract infection, and safety were also reviewed. Results: The IL-1β levels of subjects who underwent aneurysmal clipping were significantly lower in the acupuncture group ( P  = .02). TNF-α levels of subjects who underwent aneurysmal clipping at the seventh postoperative day were also significantly lower in the acupuncture group ( P  = .03). Six cases of fever of unknown origin were observed in the control group, while none were seen in the acupuncture group, revealing that the incidence of fever was significantly lower in the acupuncture group ( P  = .02). No adverse events occurred during the trial. Conclusion: Acupuncture showed a possibility of alleviating inflammation by attenuating the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and significantly reduced the incidence of fever of unknown origin in patients after craniotomy. Acupuncture would be suitable as an adjunctive therapy to alleviate inflammation after craniotomy.

    Abstract: Preoperative hypoalbuminemia from malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality after geriatric hip fracture surgery. However, little is known regarding the correlation between postoperative hypoalbuminemia and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate whether postoperative hypoalbuminemia could predict 1-year mortality after intertrochanteric femoral fracture surgery in elderly patients. The medical records of 263 geriatric patients (age ≥65 years) who underwent intertrochanteric femoral fracture surgery between January 2013 and January 2016 in a single hospital were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were allocated to 2 groups based on lowest serum albumin levels within 2 postoperative days (≥3.0 g/dL [group 1, n = 46] and 〈 3.0 g/dL [group 2, n = 217]. Data between the non-survival and survival groups were compared. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the independent predictor for 1-year mortality. The 1-year mortality rate was 16.3% after intertrochanteric femoral fracture surgery. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that postoperative hypoalbuminemia was significantly associated with 1-year mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 8.03; 95% confidence interval, 1.37-47.09; P  = .021). The non-survival group showed a significantly increased incidence of postoperative hypoalbuminemia (95.4% vs 80.0%, P  = .015) and intensive care unit admission (11.6% vs 2.7%, P  = .020), older age (82.5 ± 5.8 years vs 80.0 ± 7.2 years, P  = .032), lower body mass index (20.1 ± 3.2 kg/m 2 vs 22.4 ± 3.8 kg/m 2 , P   〈  .001), and increased amount of transfusion of perioperative red blood cells (1.79 ± 1.47 units vs 1.43 ± 2.08 units, P  = .032), compared to the survival group. This study demonstrated that postoperative hypoalbuminemia is a potent predictor of 1-year mortality in geriatric patients undergoing intertrochanteric femoral fracture surgery. Therefore, exogenous albumin administration can be considered to improve postoperative outcomes and reduce the risk of mortality after surgery for geriatric hip fracture.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to audit the 22 items and assessed each item's predictive value on surgical outcomes. Background: The KLASS-02 trial revealed that the oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy are not inferior to open distal gastrectomy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. The surgeons participating in this trial were chosen based on the assessment scores from the KLASS-02-QC trial, which used 22 items for standardization of D2 lymphadenectomy and quality control. Methods: We reviewed proficiency scores (PSs) for 22 items for 20 surgeons who participated in KLASS-02. The surgeons were divided into 2 groups according to PS, and the perioperative outcomes of 924 patients enrolled in KLASS-02 were compared between groups. Each item's predictive value for perioperative outcome was then assessed using multivariable regression models. Results: Of the total 924 patients, 529 were operated on by high-score surgeons (high PS) and 395 were operated on by low-score surgeons (low-PS). High-PS group had less intraoperative blood loss, longer operation times, and fewer complications, major complications, reoperations, and shorter first flatus and hospital stay than low-PS group ( P =0.006, P 〈 0.001, P 〈 0.001, P 〈 0.001, P =0.042, P =0.013, and P 〈 0.001, respectively). Some items used in KLASS-02-QC predicted perioperative outcomes, such as intraoperative blood loss, major complications, reoperation, and hospital stay. Conclusions: Although this study only analyzed data associated with qualified surgeons, the 22 items effectively assessed the surgeons based on PS. A high score was associated with longer operation times, but better perioperative outcomes.

    Abstract: In tandem stenoses, nonhyperemic pressure ratio pullback is the preferred method to fractional flow reserve (FFR), based on the assumption of stable resting coronary flow. This study aimed to evaluate temporal changes of coronary circulatory indexes in tandem stenoses before and after angioplasty for proximal stenosis. Methods and Results Coronary tandem stenoses were created by porcine restenosis model with 2 bare metal stents in the left anterior descending artery. Four weeks later, changes in distal coronary pressure (Pd), averaged peak velocity, microvascular resistance, transstenotic pressure gradient across distal stenosis, resting Pd/aortic pressure, and FFR were measured before and 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes after balloon angioplasty for proximal stenosis. After angioplasty, there were significant changes in both resting and hyperemic Pd, averaged peak velocity, microvascular resistance, and transstenotic pressure gradient across distal stenosis (all P values 〈 0.01). After initial acute changes, hyperemic averaged peak velocity and microvascular resistance did not show significant difference from the baseline values ( P =0.712 and 0.972, respectively). Conversely, resting averaged peak velocity remained increased (10.1±0.7 to 17.8±0.7; P 〈 0.001) and resting microvascular resistance decreased (6.0±0.1 to 2.2±0.7; P 〈 0.001). Transstenotic pressure gradient across distal stenosis was significantly increased in both resting (13.1±7.6 to 25.3±4.2; P =0.040) and hyperemic conditions (11.0±3.0 to 27.4±3.3 mm Hg; P 〈 0.001). Actual post–percutaneous coronary intervention Pd/aortic pressure and FFR were significantly lower than predicted values (Pd/aortic pressure, 0.68±0.22 versus 0.85±0.14; P 〈 0.001; FFR, 0.63±0.08 versus 0.81±0.08; P 〈 0.001). Conclusions After angioplasty for proximal stenosis, transstenotic pressure gradient across distal stenosis showed similar changes between resting and hyperemic conditions. Both actual post–percutaneous coronary intervention resting Pd/aortic pressure and FFR were significantly lower than predicted values.

    Abstract: Elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has been suggested as a risk factor for ischemic stroke. However, the predictive value of hs-CRP for long-term outcomes is poorly defined. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate whether change in hs-CRP level plays a role in the prognostic value of long-term functional disability. Methods: We studied 263 patients with acute ischemic stroke and 104 healthy controls (67.5±11.26 and 68.17±11.21 y, respectively). hs-CRP was measured on admission and on the seventh day of hospitalization. The patients were classified into 2 groups on the basis of difference in hs-CRP level from admission to the seventh day of hospitalization (group 1, hs-CRP on admission 〉 the seventh hospital day; group 2, hs-CRP on admission 〈 the seventh hospital day). The correlation between change in hs-CRP level and functional disability using the modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after stroke onset was analyzed. Results: We observed significant differences between initial hs-CRP level in all patients (0.96±2.82 mg/dL) and healthy controls (0.34±0.71 mg/dL, P =0.029). Significant differences in mRS at the 4 different timepoints was not observed between 2 groups ( P =0.453, 0.225, 0.229, and 0.396, respectively). The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients showed that change in hs-CRP level increasingly differed over time and was statistically correlated with mRS (coefficient/ P : at 1 mo, 0.139/0.024; at 3 mo, 0.149/0.015; at 6 mo, 0.147/ 〈 0.001; and at 12 mo, 0.134/0.03). However, the results were very low correlation coefficients, despite their statistical significance. Conclusion: This study did not clearly show an association between increase in hs-CRP level over time and long-term functional disability.
