Management of dyslipidemia in this setting is complex due to interactions between statins and immunosuppressants resulting in an increased risk of rhabdomyolysis and the potential of immunosuppressants themselves to elevate LDL and triglyceride levels. Inclisiran, an mRNA inhibitor of PCSK9, has demonstrated high efficacy without reported pharmacokinetic interactions and a favorable administration regimen. We present the first case of treatment with inclisiran after heart transplantation. We report the case of a 67-year-old male patient who underwent heart transplantation in 2011 with a high cardiovascular risk profile and a history of statin intolerance, treated with ezetimibe. In 2022, due to severe TCAD and elevated LDL-C levels (125 mg/dL), treatment with inclisiran (300 mg on days 0 and 90 and then every 6 months) was initiated in addition to ezetimibe. Lipid and immunosuppressant levels were monitored during follow-up visits. After two doses of Inclisiran, at 6 months, LDL-C was reduced to 69 mg/dL, without side effects or significant alterations in immunosuppressant levels. Subsequently, LDL-C levels showed a further reduction to 31 mg/dL and remained controlled (51 mg/dL and 28 mg/dL in subsequent follow-ups). Despite the reduction in LDL-C, the patient showed progression of TCAD, requiring multiple percutaneous revascularizations. This case suggests the potential value of inclisiran in the treatment of dyslipidemia in heart transplant patients with TCAD, especially in the presence of statin intolerance or risk of drug interactions. The infrequent administration regimen is advantageous in such patients with a high medication burden and can be made to coincide with follow-up visits. However, the progression of TCAD despite LDL-C reduction highlights the multifactorial nature of the disease, with a significant immunological component still not effectively controlled by current preventive therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":18668,"journal":{"name":"Minerva cardiology and angiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145431806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) significantly reduces mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, despite successful epicardial recanalization, pPCI can be complicated by inadequate myocardial reperfusion, a phenomenon known as coronary no-reflow (NR) or microvascular obstruction (MVO), which is associated with adverse outcomes. The aim is to describe a novel interventional approach - the saline technique - for the treatment of MVO following stent implantation during pPCI. The saline technique consists of a rapid, manual intracoronary injection of 10 mL of saline over 2-4 seconds using a 6-Fr thrombus aspiration catheter positioned distally to the stented segment. The aim is to rapidly increase distal coronary pressure and volume, promoting microvascular recruitment and displacement of micro-emboli and vasoconstrictive agents. A diagnostic step using distal angiography precedes treatment to confirm MVO. Preliminary data from a single-center matched cohort (N.=32) showed that the Saline Technique significantly improved TIMI flow grade and ST-segment resolution compared to standard care. No major complications were observed. Post-procedural Index of Microvascular Resistance (IMR) was reduced in most cases.
