Background
The mechanistic association between the hydraulic forces generated during contrast injection and the risk of coronary injury is poorly understood. In this study, we sought to evaluate whether contrast injections increase intracoronary pressures beyond resting levels and estimate the risk of hydraulic propagation of coronary dissections.
Methods
This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study that included patients with nonculprit, non−flow-limiting coronaries. A continuous 60-second pressure recording was taken at 5 predetermined locations during contrast injections: distal, mid, and proximal vessel, catheter tip, and inside the catheter. The primary end point was the change in intracoronary peak pressure between resting and injections in each location.
Results
A total of 269 pressure recordings (58 vessels; 52 patients) were analyzed. Injections led to a small increase in peak pressure in the distal (mean difference, +4.5 mm Hg; 95% CI, 1.5-7.4), mid (mean difference, +4.1 mm Hg; 95% CI, 1.4-6.9), and proximal (mean difference, +5.1 mm Hg; 95% CI, 2.5-7.7) vessel locations, and much higher increases at the catheter tip (mean difference, +11.7 mm Hg; 95% CI, 5.8-17.7) and inside the catheter (mean difference, +77.5 mm Hg; 95% CI, 64.5-90.4). Compared to the distal vessel, pressure changes were only significant at the catheter tip (+10 mm Hg; P < .01) and inside the catheter (+79.1 mm Hg; P < .01).
Conclusions
Contrast injections lead to negligible changes in intracoronary pressures beyond the catheter tip. Although it is sensible to minimize injections when coronary dissections are close to the catheter, it is unlikely that they would cause injuries beyond the catheter tip.
背景:造影剂注射过程中产生的液压力与冠状动脉损伤风险之间的机制关系尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们试图评估造影剂注射是否会使冠状动脉内压力超过静息水平,并评估冠状动脉剥离的水力传播风险。方法:这是一项前瞻性、单臂、多中心研究,纳入了非罪魁祸首、非血流限制性冠状动脉患者。在造影剂注射期间,在5个预定位置连续记录60秒的压力:远端、中端和近端血管、导管尖端和导管内部。主要终点是每个部位静息和注射之间冠状动脉内峰值压的变化。结果:共记录压力269次(血管58次;52例患者)进行分析。注射导致远端峰值压力小幅升高(平均差值+4.5 mm Hg;95% CI, 1.5-7.4),中位(平均差,+4.1 mm Hg;95% CI, 1.4-6.9)和近端(平均差,+5.1 mm Hg;95% CI, 2.5-7.7)血管位置,导管尖端的增加要高得多(平均差异,+11.7 mm Hg;95% CI, 5.8-17.7)和导管内(平均差,+77.5 mm Hg;95% ci, 64.5-90.4)。与远端血管相比,压力变化仅在导管尖端显著(+10 mm Hg;P < 0.01)和导管内(+79.1 mm Hg;P < 0.01)。结论:造影剂注射导致导管尖端以外冠状动脉内压力的变化可以忽略不计。虽然当冠状动脉夹层靠近导管时尽量减少注射是明智的,但它们不太可能造成导管尖端以外的损伤。

Background
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) may provoke hypertension and/or impaired kidney function. Some patients develop uncontrolled hypertension and deteriorating kidney function despite optimal medical therapy. In these patients, endovascular treatment is an important therapeutic option. ARTISAN was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the iCast RX covered stent both functionally for reestablishing renal artery flow, and clinically for controlling resistant hypertension.
Methods
Patients considered for enrollment had average systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥155 mm Hg despite taking 3 antihypertensive medications. Prior to enrollment and covered stent placement, angiographic confirmation of ARAS ≥80% with physiologic significance was required. Clinical assessments were performed at 30 days, 9 months, and annually through 36 months. Covered stent safety and efficacy were based on 9-month coprimary end points, including primary vessel patency and SBP improvement at 9 months. Secondary outcomes included target lesion revascularization, major adverse events, and secondary patency.
Results
Sixty-eight of the planned 138 subjects were enrolled. Primary patency was seen in 94.3% of subject lesions; the mean SBP reduction was 15.7 mm Hg. The functional and clinical end points met prespecified performance goals of 70% primary patency (P < .0001) and ≥10 mm Hg SBP decrease (P = .0192), respectively, at 9 months. Six subjects (8.8%) experienced 7 major adverse events within 36 months. The clinically driven target lesion revascularization rate was 7.3% at 36 months.
Conclusions
The high primary patency and improvement in SBP, persisting through 36 months, suggest that the iCast RX covered stent is safe and effective for the treatment of appropriately selected patients with ARAS.
背景:动脉粥样硬化性肾动脉狭窄(ARAS)可引起高血压和/或肾功能受损。一些患者发展不受控制的高血压和肾功能恶化,尽管最佳的药物治疗。在这些患者中,血管内治疗是一种重要的治疗选择。ARTISAN是一项前瞻性、开放标签、单臂、多中心临床试验,旨在评估iCast RX覆盖支架在功能上重建肾动脉血流和临床上控制顽固性高血压的安全性和有效性。方法:考虑入组的患者在服用3种降压药的情况下,平均收缩压(SBP)≥155 mm Hg。在入组和放置覆膜支架之前,需要血管造影确认ARAS≥80%并具有生理意义。临床评估分别在30天、9个月和每年进行,直至36个月。覆盖支架的安全性和有效性基于9个月的主要终点,包括9个月时的初级血管通畅和收缩压改善。次要结果包括靶病变血运重建、主要不良事件和继发性通畅。结果:计划138例受试者中有68例入组。94.3%的病灶原发通畅;平均收缩压降低15.7毫米汞柱。9个月时,功能和临床终点分别达到预定的70%原发性通畅(P < 0.0001)和≥10毫米汞柱收缩压降低(P = 0.0192)的性能目标。6名受试者(8.8%)在36个月内发生7次重大不良事件。36个月时临床驱动的靶病变血运重建率为7.3%。结论:高原发性通畅和持续36个月的收缩压改善表明iCast RX覆盖支架对于适当选择的ARAS患者是安全有效的。

Background
Routine preprocedural fasting before cardiac catheterization remains common practice, despite a lack of robust evidence to support this practice. We investigated the impact of a liberal nonfasting strategy vs a standardized nil per os (NPO) regimen prior to cardiac catheterization.
Methods
Adult inpatients undergoing elective or urgent cardiac catheterization were randomized (1:1 ratio) to either NPO past midnight or ad libitum intake of liquids and solids (without dietary constraints) until immediately prior to the procedure. Only patients at high risk of aspiration or undergoing complex interventions were excluded. The primary end point was preprocedural patient-reported well-being scores (scaled 0-5, with 0 signifying absence of ailment and 5 the most extreme form), for variables including hunger, fatigue, anxiety, and nausea. A composite score summed the individual scores for hunger and fatigue. Other end points were periprocedural adverse events including emesis, aspiration, or intubation, in addition to postprocedural satisfaction.
Results
A total of 198 patients (65% male and 42% Black) were included in the final analysis. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between groups. Time from most recent oral intake (liquid or solid) to the start of the procedure averaged 148 minutes for the nonfasting group and 970 minutes for the NPO strategy (P < .001). The composite preprocedural well-being score was significantly better in the nonfasting arm (2.4 ± 2.4 nonfasting vs 6.0 ± 2.5 NPO; P < .001), as were the individual components of hunger (0.9 ± 1.5 vs 3.7 ± 1.5; P < .001), fatigue (1.5 ± 1.6 vs 2.3 ± 1.8; P < .001), and nausea (0.1 ± 0.5 vs 0.5 ±1.2; P = .006). There were no significant differences in adverse events between groups. Overall postprocedural satisfaction scores were significantly better in the nonfasting vs NPO group (0.3 ± 0.7 vs 1.0 ± 1.3, respectively; P < .001).
Conclusions
In this single-center randomized trial, a liberal nonfasting strategy prior to cardiac catheterization significantly improved patient well-being and satisfaction without compromising safety. Given the findings of this and other studies, routine fasting prior to cardiac catheterization should be reconsidered.
背景:尽管缺乏强有力的证据支持,心导管插入术前的常规术前禁食仍然是一种常见的做法。我们研究了在心导管插入术前自由非禁食策略与标准化零氧(NPO)方案的影响。方法:接受选择性或紧急心导管插入术的成年住院患者被随机(1:1比例)分为两组,一组在午夜过后进食,另一组在手术前随意进食液体和固体(没有饮食限制)。仅排除吸入风险高或正在接受复杂干预的患者。主要终点是手术前患者报告的幸福感评分(0-5分,0表示没有疾病,5表示最极端的形式),变量包括饥饿、疲劳、焦虑和恶心。一个综合分数综合了个人在饥饿和疲劳方面的得分。其他终点是围手术期不良事件,包括呕吐、误吸或插管,以及术后满意度。结果:198例患者(男性65%,黑人42%)纳入最终分析。两组间基线特征无差异。非禁食组从最近一次口服(液体或固体)到手术开始的平均时间为148分钟,NPO组为970分钟(P < 0.001)。非禁食组的综合手术前幸福感评分显著高于非禁食组(2.4±2.4 NPO vs 6.0±2.5 NPO);P < 0.001),饥饿的各个成分也是如此(0.9±1.5 vs 3.7±1.5;P < 0.001),疲劳(1.5±1.6 vs 2.3±1.8;P < 0.001),恶心(0.1±0.5 vs 0.5±1.2;P = .006)。两组间不良事件发生率无显著差异。非禁食组和NPO组的总体术后满意度得分显著高于对照组(分别为0.3±0.7和1.0±1.3);P < 0.001)。结论:在这项单中心随机试验中,心导管插入术前的自由非禁食策略显著提高了患者的幸福感和满意度,同时不影响安全性。鉴于这项研究和其他研究的结果,应该重新考虑心导管插入术前的常规禁食。

Background
Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is a promising advancement to guide cardiac catheterizations. It is used with restraint in critically ill infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) due to the lack of research conducted within this patient group.
Methods
Data of all infants with CHD and a body weight <5 kg who underwent cardiac catheterization with the use of 3DRA between November 2011 and April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcome measures were 3DRA-related periprocedural deaths or major adverse events (MAEs). Secondary outcome measures were 3DRA-related minor adverse events (MiAEs), the amount of radiation exposure and contrast agent, and whether 3DRA led to important new findings. The case-based workflow of 3DRA in vulnerable infants is explained.
Results
Eighty-six patients underwent 109 cardiac catheterizations in which 132 3DRA scans were performed. Median age and weight were 50.0 days (IQR, 20.0-98.5) and 3.8 kg (IQR, 3.2-4.5). There were no periprocedural deaths or MiAEs, and only 2 MAEs occurred, both concerning ventricular fibrillation. The median radiation exposure was 160.0 cGy⋅cm2 (IQR, 81.3-257.5), of which 28.0 cGy⋅cm2 (IQR, 19.4-43.0) was derived from 3DRA. The mean amount of contrast agent used was 4.8 ± 1.6 mL/kg. In 70.6%, 3DRA imaging led to important new findings. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed the presence of comorbidity to be associated with a lower odds of receiving a 3DRA-derived radiation dose ≥15 cGy⋅cm2 (P = .01). Additionally, the interval between surgery and cardiac catheterization was significantly associated with higher odds of a contrast dye consumption ≥6 mL/kg (P = .046).
Conclusions
3DRA proved to be safe in vulnerable infants with CHD weighing <5 kg, enabling visualization of anatomical substrates often invisible in conventional angiography. However, when an advanced computed tomography scanner is available, the diagnostic purposes for 3DRA are few. The greatest benefit of 3DRA usage is interventional guidance (3D roadmap).

The mean amount of contrast agent used was 4.8 ± 1.6 mL/kg. In 70.6%, 3DRA imaging led to important new findings. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed the presence of comorbidity to be associated with a lower odds of receiving a 3DRA-derived radiation dose ≥15 cGy⋅cm<sup>2</sup> (<em>P</em> = .01). Additionally, the interval between surgery and cardiac catheterization was significantly associated with higher odds of a contrast dye consumption ≥6 mL/kg (<em>P</em> = .046).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>3DRA proved to be safe in vulnerable infants with CHD weighing <5 kg, enabling visualization of anatomical substrates often invisible in conventional angiography.

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is high risk compared to non-CTO PCI. Iatrogenic coronary artery hematoma formation is a common occurrence during CTO PCI, impairing true lumen visualization. We describe the use of a continuous mechanical suction (CMS) device in 2 applications in which it was used for successful subintimal hematoma decompression and distal vessel re-entry. Additionally, we briefly review CMS utilization within the published literature. CMS use during CTO may be a viable technique in future revascularization attempts.

Transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR) presents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical valve replacement, albeit not without its own set of complications. A rare complication is the infolding of the self-expanding valve, which can precipitate cardiac arrest. The estimated incidence rate of this complication stands at 1.6%. The management of this complication hinges on either balloon dilation or valve replacement. This article discusses a case involving a 78-year-old man with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis. Following TAVR, the patient experienced asystole due to valve infolding, highlighting the need for heightened vigilance and refined intervention strategies in the management of TAVR complications.

Background
Advancements in cardiac catheterization have improved survival for pediatric congenital heart disease patients, but the associated ionizing radiation risks necessitate ethical consideration.
Methods
This study presents an empirical model, developed from 3131 unique pediatric procedures, to establish alert levels based on a patient's lateral thickness of the thorax for various procedural categories during diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization. The model uses linear regression of logarithmic reference air kinetic energy released per unit mass (KERMA) and air KERMA area product, also referred to as dose area product, to set alert levels at the top 95% and 99% of patient data.
Results
Coefficients of the regression fits are provided for diagnostic and interventional procedural groups and fluoroscopic plane allowing any facility to scale the results of this study’s single facility data to model their practice’s unique procedural dose levels.
Conclusions
The proposed method allows institutions to tailor dose alert levels to their specific pediatric populations to reduce overexposure events.
