The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of AKI in patients with CKD who underwent single vessel PCI versus multivessel PCI.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000We retrospectively screened all PCI performed from January 2011 to December 2017 and we included all the procedures performed in patients with a baseline glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. PCI were divided in two groups according to the treatment of a single vessel (Mono Group) or multivessel PCI (Multi Group). The Multi Group was also divided in two subgroups according to the modality of PCI: multivessel PCI performed in one procedure (Multi-Single session Group) or in multiple staged procedures (Multi-Staged Group).\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000From a total of 4517 PCI screened, 848 PCI were included, 530 in the Mono Group and 318 in the Multi Group. The global rate of AKI was around 15% without significant differences between the Mono and the Multi Group (15.5% in the Mono and 14.8% in the Multi Group, p=0.786). In the Multi Group the risk of AKI was significantly higher in the Single session sub-group (21.4%) compared to the staged sub-group (11.2%, p= 0.014).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000In patients with CKD, the risk of AKI did not differ in patients who underwent single vessel versus multivessel PCI, but multivessel PCI should be performed in multiple staged procedures rather than in a single session.","PeriodicalId":18565,"journal":{"name":"Minerva cardioangiologica","volume":"496 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76702955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to see whether performing on-line ablation has similar clinical results compared to the conventional strategy.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Consecutive patients (465) who underwent ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus for typical AFL at our electrophysiology laboratory in the 2008-2017 decade were studied. We evaluated the acute and long-term clinical outcomes of those who were treated electively (337) compared to those who had online ablation (128), that is within 24 hours of presenting to the Cardiology department. In patients treated on an emergency basis, a transoesophageal echocardiogram was performed to rule atrial thrombi when needed.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000No significant intraprocedural difference was observed between the 2 patient groups, with comparable acute electrophysiological success (99% vs 98%) and serious complications.
