Treatments primarily targeting limb-related outcomes may not improve overall life prognosis. We aimed to describe in-hospital mortality and the underlying etiologies in Japanese patients with CLI. We analyzed the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) database from approximately 1200 Japanese acute-care hospitals between April 2018 and March 2020. The definition of patients with CLI was based on the diagnostic codes listed as the most resource-intensive diagnosis and information regarding invasive procedures (endovascular treatment, bypass, or amputation). The DPC database provides information on whether in-hospital death was caused by the most resource-intensive diagnosis. Among 15,228 distinct patients with CLI, we identified 18,970 records, including 5,378 amputations. In-hospital death occurred in 1238 (6.5%) patients. Among them, 811 (65.5%) were due to causes unrelated to CLI. In patients who underwent amputation (n = 5378), causes unrelated to CLI accounted for 70.0% of in-hospital deaths, whereas among patients who did not undergo amputation (n = 13,592), this proportion was 60.1%. When compared to patients who died due to causes related to CLI, the prevalence of male patients was higher (62.6% vs 52.7%, p = 0.001), and amputation was more frequently performed (58.0% vs 47.1%, p < 0.001) in those who died due to causes unrelated to CLI.

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.

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.

The consensus is that the indication for renal denervation (RDN) is resistant hypertension or \"conditioned\" uncontrolled hypertension, with high office and out-of-office blood pressure (BP) readings despite appropriate lifestyle modification and antihypertensive drug therapy. \"Conditioned\" uncontrolled hypertension is defined as having one of the following: 1) inability to up-titrate antihypertensive medication due to side effects, the presence of complications, or reduced quality of life. This includes patients who are intolerant of antihypertensive drugs; or 2) comorbidity at high cardiovascular risk due to increased sympathetic nerve activity, such as orthostatic hypertension, morning hypertension, nocturnal hypertension, or sleep apnea (unable to use continuous positive airway pressure), atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrythmia, or heart failure. RDN should be performed by the multidisciplinary Hypertension Renal Denervation Treatment (HRT) team, led by specialists in hypertension, cardiovascular intervention and cardiology, in specialized centers validated by JSH, CVIT, and JCS. The HRT team reviews lifestyle modifications and medication, and the patient profile, then determines the presence of an indication of RDN based on shared decision making with each patient.
