    Abstract: The results of the recent Amsterdam Investigator-Initiated Absorb Strategy All-Comers trial showed that the predilatation, sizing, and postdilatation (PSP) technique did not lower the long-term rates of scaffold thrombosis and adverse events. We evaluated the impact of aggressive PSP bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) implantation on the short- and long-term clinical outcomes. Methods: From June 2014 to December 2016, 150 patients with BRS implantation were enrolled and received successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), of whom 104 received aggressive PSP technique (high-pressure predilatation and lesion preparation in addition to the traditional PSP technique). Short- and long-term outcomes were compared. Results: All patients underwent successful PCI and BRS implantation with final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 3 flow. The baseline and procedure characteristics were similar in both groups. Debulking techniques were used in 13 (8.7%) patients. Intracoronary imaging modalities were used in 73 (48.7%) patients. After BRS implantation, no adverse events were observed within 30 days in both groups. During the mean follow-up period of 2.98 ± 0.77 years, 12 (8.0%) patients experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including one cardiovascular death (0.6%), three nonfatal myocardial infarction (2.0 %), and 11 target-vessel revascularization (7.3 %). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that aggressive PSP remained an independent protective factor for MACEs. Moreover, the use of intracoronary imaging and rotablation atherectomy was associated with better clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Lesion preparation by aggressive PSP in BRS implantation was associated with better long-term clinical outcomes.

    Abstract: Obesity is associated with metabolic syndrome which increases further risk of coronary artery disease and adverse cardiovascular events. Impact of body mass index (BMI) on long‐term outcome in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) is less clear. Method and results From January 2005 to November 2020, a total of 1301 patients with coronary angiographic confirmed CTO were enrolled in our study. Patients were divided into two groups: low BMI group: 18–24.99 kg/m 2 and high BMI group ≥25 kg/m 2 . Clinical outcomes were 3‐year all‐cause mortality, 3‐year cardiovascular mortality and 3‐year non‐fatal myocardial infarct. During the 3‐year follow‐up period, all‐cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with low BMI group compared to those in high BMI groups (14% vs. 6%, p  = .0001). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed patients with high BMI groups had significant better survival compared with those in low BMI group ( p  = .0001). In multivariate analysis, higher BMI was independently associated with decreased risk of 3‐year all‐cause mortality (Hazard ratio [HR]: 0.534; 95% confidence interval [CI] : 0.349–0.819, p  = .004) after controlling for age, renal function, prior history of stroke, coronary artery bypass graft, co‐morbidities with peripheral arterial disease, heart failure and revascularization status for CTO. In propensity‐matched multivariate analysis, high BMI remained a significant predictor of 3‐year all‐cause mortality (HR, 0.525; 95% CI, 0.346–0.795, p  = .002). Conclusion Higher BMI was associated with better long‐term outcome in patients with coronary CTO.

    Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is one of the risk factors for coronary artery disease and frequently associated with multivessels disease and poor clinical outcomes. Long term outcome of successful revascularization of chronic total occlusions (CTO) in diabetes patients remains controversial. Methods and results From January 2005 to December 2015, 739 patients who underwent revascularization for CTO in Taipei Veterans General Hospital were included in this study, of which 313 (42%) patients were diabetes patients. Overall successful rate of revascularization was 619 (84%) patients whereas that in diabetics and non-diabetics were 265 (84%) and 354 (83%) respectively. Median follow up was 1095 days (median: 5 years, interquartile range: 1–10 years). During 3 years follow-up period, 59 (10%) in successful group and 18 (15%) patients in failure group died. Although successful revascularization of CTO was non-significantly associated with better outcome in total cohort (hazard ratio (HR): 0.593, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.349–0.008, P: 0.054), it might be associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.307, 95% CI 0.156–0.604, P: 0.001) and CV mortality (HR: 0.266, 95% CI 0.095–0.748, P: 0.012) in diabetics (P: 0.512). In contrast, successful CTO revascularization didn’t improve outcomes in non-diabetics (all P  〉  0.05). In multivariate cox regression analysis, successful CTO revascularization remained an independent predictor for 3-years survival in diabetic subgroup (HR: 0.289, 95% CI 0.125–0.667, P: 0.004). The multivariate analysis result was similar after propensity score matching (all-cause mortality, HR: 0.348, 95% CI 0.142–0.851, P: 0.021). Conclusions Successful CTO revascularization in diabetes may be related to better long term survival benefit but not in non-diabetic population.

    Abstract: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is independently associated with higher cardiovascular risks. However, whether BPV is associated with poor outcomes for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remained undetermined. We aimed to investigate the relationship between BPV and the outcomes of CAD patients undergoing PCI. Two thousand seven hundred and sixty‐two CAD patients (1938 males, mean age 69.6 ± 12.9) who received PCI at Taipei Veterans General Hospital from 2006 to 2015 with multiple blood pressure measurements before and after the index PCI were enrolled. We calculated the standard deviation of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure as parameters of BPV. The primary endpoint was the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events [MACE comprising of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non‐fatal stroke] and heart failure hospitalization (HHF). The key secondary endpoint was MACE. Both pre‐PCI and post‐PCI BPV were associated with CV events even after adjusting for co‐morbidities and mean blood pressure. In Cox analysis, for every 1 mmHg increase in systolic BPV, the hazard ratio for the MACE + HHF, MACE, HHF, and cardiovascular death was 1.04 (95%CI: 1.03–1.05), 1.04 (95%CI: 1.02–1.05), 1.05 (95%CI: 1.04–1.06), and 1.06 (95%CI: 1.03–1.09), respectively. The association between BPV and cardiovascular risk is independent of blood pressure control status. The prognostic value of BPV was superior to mean blood pressure in both pre‐PCI and post‐PCI period. BPV is independently associated with cardiovascular events after PCI and has a better prognostic value than mean blood pressure suggesting the importance of maintaining stable blood pressure for CAD patients.

    Abstract: Phosphate has been linked to higher cardiovascular (CV) risk. However, whether phosphate is associated with poor outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) remained undetermined. 2,894 CAD patients (2,220 male, aged 71.6 ± 12.2), who received PCI at TVGH from 2006 to 2015, with phosphate measurement, were enrolled. The primary outcome was the composite of major adverse CV events [MACE, comprising of CV death, nonfatal MI, and nonfatal stroke] and heart failure hospitalization (HHF). The key secondary outcome was MACE. There was a J-curve association between phosphate and CV events after adjusted for comorbidities and renal function. Phosphate around 3.2 ± 0.1 mg/dL was associated with the lowest CV risk. In Cox analysis, each 1 mg/dL increases in phosphate was associated with a higher risk of MACE + HHF (HR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.05–1.21): CV death (HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.22–1.55) and HHF (HR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.02–1.23). Subgroup analyses showed more prominent association between phosphate and MACE + HHF in male, age  〉  65, bare-metal stents (BMSs), LVEF  〈  50%, eGFR  〈  60, LDL  〉  70 mg/dL, and emergent PCI. Phosphate has a significant association with the risk of CV events in CAD patients undergoing PCI that was independent of comorbidities and renal function.

    Abstract: Serum 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG) is a novel biomarker for short-term glycemic status and postprandial hyperglycemia. The association between serum 1,5-AG levels and coronary artery calcification (CAC) through a quantitative assessment using optical coherence tomography (OCT) is unclear. We aimed to evaluate this association using OCT in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods From June 2016 to December 2019, we prospectively enrolled 256 patients who underwent OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Half of the patients had diabetes. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 1.8 ± 0.8 years (median: 2.2 years). The relative calcium index and relative lipid core index measured by quantitative OCT analysis were used to evaluate the intra-plaque calcium and lipid levels of culprit plaques. We also analyzed the correlation between serum 1,5-AG levels and long-term major adverse cardiovascular events. Results Serum 1,5-AG levels were significantly lower in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients (DM vs. non-DM: 55.6 ± 27.9 μg/mL vs. 63.7 ± 26.1 μg/mL, p = 0.016), and lower in fibrocalcified lesions than in fibrotic or fibrolipidic lesions (fibrocalcified vs. fibrotic or fibrolipidic: 42.8 ± 19.1 vs. 72.9 ± 25.2 or 66.4 ± 27.5 μg/mL, p & lt; 0.001, respectively). In addition, we found a significant inverse correlation between serum 1,5-AG levels and relative calcium index ( r = −0.729, p & lt; 0.001). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, low serum 1,5-AG level was identified as an independent predictor for major adverse cardiovascular events in diabetic patients ( p = 0.043), but not in non-diabetic patients ( p = 0.748) after adjusting for age and sex. Conclusion This study revealed that low serum 1,5-AG levels were associated with an increased risk of CAC as assessed by OCT, especially in diabetic patients. Low serum 1,5-AG levels may predict future major adverse cardiovascular events in diabetic patients undergoing OCT-guided PCI.

    Abstract: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is considered to be an atherogenic molecule. We aimed to investigate the relationship between ADMA and plaque vulnerability assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Two hundred and forty-five patients with stable CAD undergoing OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention were included in this study and were divided into two groups according to their ADMA levels. Micro-vessel, macrophage accumulation, thin-cap fibroatheroma, intra-plaque calcium and lipid core content, and vulnerable score (VS) were evaluated by OCT analysis. The patients with higher ADMA levels had significantly higher calcium and lipid content ( p   〈  0.001, respectively). There were significantly more micro-vessel and macrophage (32.8%, p  = 0.004 and 52.5%, p   〈  0.001, respectively) and higher VS (87.7 ± 17.6, p   〈  0.001) in the higher ADMA group. Moreover, plasma ADMA level was significantly correlated with the intra-plaque lipid, calcium content and VS ( p   〈  0.001, respectively). Plasma ADMA level was identified as an independent predictor of future adverse cardiovascular events, following OCT-guided PCI. In patients with stable CAD, higher plasma ADMA levels were significantly associated with the presence of intra-plaque lipid, calcification, vulnerable plaque, and poor long-term outcomes.
