The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of Impella and IABP on mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock the large Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was utilized to study any association between the use of IABP or Impella on outcome. ICD-10 codes for Impella, IABP, and cardiogenic shock for available years 2016-2020 were utilized. A total of 844,020 patients had a diagnosis of cardiogenic shock. A total of 101,870 patients were treated with IABP and 39645 with an Impella. Total inpatient mortality without any device was 34.2% vs only 25.1% with IABP use (OR = 0.65, CI 0.62-0.67) but was highest at 40.7% with Impella utilization (OR = 1.32, CI 1.26-1.39). After adjusting for 47 variables, Impella utilization remained associated with the highest mortality (OR: 1.33, CI 1.25-1.41, p < 0.001), whereas IABP remained associated with the lowest mortality (OR: 0.69, CI 0.66-0.72, p < 0.001). Separating rural vs teaching hospitals revealed similar findings. In patients with cardiogenic shock, the use of Impella was associated with the highest whereas IABP was associated with the lowest in-hospital mortality regardless of comorbid condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":9439,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140329597","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}

Therefore, owing to the need for evidence-based treatment decisions in this population, this study aimed to examine the clinical outcomes during 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in very elderly patients with ACS. This prospective multicenter observational study comprised 1337 patients with ACS treated with PCI, classified into the following four groups according to age: under 60, <60 years; sexagenarian, ≥60 and <69 years; septuagenarian, ≥70 and <80 years; and very elderly, ≥80 years. The primary endpoint was a composite of the first occurrence of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and bleeding within 1 year after PCI. We used the sexagenarian group as a reference and compared outcomes with those of the other groups. The incidence of the primary endpoint was significantly higher in the very elderly group than in the sexagenarian group (36 [12.7%] vs. 24 [6.9%], respectively; hazard ratio, 1.94; 95% confidence interval: 1.16-3.26; p = 0.012). The higher incidence of the primary endpoint was primarily driven by a higher incidence of all-cause death. When the multivariable analysis was used to adjust for patient characteristics and comorbidities, no difference was observed in the primary endpoint between the very elderly and sexagenarian groups (p = 0.96). The incidence of adverse events after PCI, particularly all-cause death, in very elderly patients with ACS was high. However, if several confounders are adjusted, comparable outcomes may be expected within 1 year after PCI among this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":9439,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141261114","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}

We investigated the indications and outcomes of the use of CGA system during TEER for significant mitral regurgitation (MR). We reviewed 158 patients undergoing TEER with MitraClip G4 from September 2020 to July 2023. The CGA indications were: (1) for grasping and (2) for leaflet insertion confirmation. Leaflet grasping was completed with CGA in 18 patients (11 and 7 patients for grasping and leaflet insertion confirmation, respectively). Patients with flail leaflets or coaptation gap more frequently required CGA, indicating more complex mitral valve anatomy. The procedural success and adverse event rates (death, leaflet tear and single leaflet device attachment) were not different between the CGA and non-CGA groups. In patients requiring CGA, single leaflet device attachment was observed in 1 patient and leaflet tear in 1 patient during follow-up. In these two cases, CGA was required for grasping, and the clip was moved over a large distance (6.5 and 12.4 mm, respectively). In patients who had undergone CGA for confirmation, no device-related adverse event or MR recurrence was noted. In patients with complex mitral valve anatomy, CGA may be a safe and effective method for confirming leaflet insertion. It should be noted that when using CGA for leaflet grasping, especially when the clip is moved significantly, attention should be paid to leaflet adverse events.</p>","PeriodicalId":9439,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141236860","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}
