Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients with CABG is associated with increased procedural time, contrast agent administration, radiation exposure, and complications, compared with non-CABG patients. The aim of this multicenter, randomized controlled trial was to compare the strategy of CCTA-guided ICA versus classic ICA in patients with prior CABG.METHODSPatients with prior CABG were randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to have a CCTA before ICA (CCTA-ICA, group A) or not (ICA-only, group B). The primary end point of the study was the total volume (milliliters) of the contrast agent administered.RESULTSA total of 251 patients were randomized, and 225 were included in analysis; 110 in group A and 115 in group B. The total contrast volume was higher in group A (184.5 [143-255] versus 154 [102-240] mL; P=0.001). The contrast volume administered during the invasive procedure was lower in group A (101.5 [60-151] versus 154 [102-240]; P<0.001). Total fluoroscopy time was decreased in group A (480 [259-873] versus 594 [360-1080] seconds; P=0.027), but total effective dose was increased (24.1 [17.7-32] versus 10.8 [5.6-18] mSv; P<0.001). The rate of contrast-induced nephropathy, periprocedural complications, and major adverse cardiac events during 3 to 5 and 30 days did not differ significantly between the 2 groups.CONCLUSIONSA CCTA-directed ICA strategy for patients with CABG is associated with expedition of the invasive procedure, and less fluoroscopy time, at the cost of higher total contrast volume and effective radiation dose, compared with the classic ICA approach.REGISTRATIONURL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT04631809.","PeriodicalId":10330,"journal":{"name":"Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions","volume":"99 1","pages":"e014045"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This meta-analysis was conducted on patients with normal sinus rhythm who underwent cardiac surgery, with and without concomitant LAAO, to evaluate its effect on the incidence of cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs).METHODSA systematic review was conducted from inception until December 2023 for randomized and propensity-score studies comparing CVA in patients without AF undergoing cardiac surgery with or without LAAO.RESULTSSix studies met our inclusion criteria with a total of 4130 patients: 2146 in the LAAO group and 1984 in the no-LAAO group. The risk ratio of postoperative AF was 1.05 (95% CI, 0.86-1.28); P=0.628. The CVA rates at 5 years were 6.8±1.0% in the no-LAAO group and 4.3±0.8% in the LAAO group (log-rank P=0.021). The Cox regression analysis for CVA in patients undergoing LAAO reported a hazard ratio of 0.65 (95% CI, 0.45-0.94); P=0.022. Landmark analysis at 4 years highlighted a significant difference in overall survival between no-LAAO and LAAO groups, 86±12.2% versus 89.6±11.0%; P=0.041.CONCLUSIONSIn this meta-analysis of patients without previous AF undergoing cardiac surgery, LAAO was associated with a decreased risk of CVA, no difference in the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation, and a significant overall survival benefit at a 4-year landmark analysis. Although these findings support LAAO, the randomized LeAAPS trial (Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion for Prophylactic Stroke Reduction Trial), LAA-CLOSURE trial (A Randomized Prospective Multicenter Trial for Stroke Prevention by Prophylactic Surgical Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage in Patients Undergoing Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Surgery), and LAACS-2 trial (Left Atrial Appendage Closure by Surgery-2) will help define the effectiveness of LAAO in patients undergoing cardiac surgery who have risk factors for AF and CVA.REGISTRATIONURL: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/; Unique identifier: CRD42024496366.","PeriodicalId":10330,"journal":{"name":"Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions","volume":"67 1","pages":"e014296"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142217549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
